[b]TL;DR.[/b] The Steam page for the Dawnsbury Days expansion is now published and [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2980090/Dawnsbury_Days__The_Profane_Barrier/]you can wishlist the expansion here.[/url] When a child disappears from your hometown, you initially suspect a hag, but soon you find out the truth is far more sinister. With this, I'm announcing the development of an expansion DLC that contains a level 5 to level 8 adventure path that continues where Dawnsbury Days left off. The Profane Barrier is a new story-driven adventure path with the following features: [list] [*] Character levels 5-8, including 50+ new spells and 40+ new feats [*] 20+ encounters, mixing both combat encounters and skill challenges [*] 30+ new monsters, hazards, subsystems and other obstacles [*] Voice-acted cutscenes bookending each encounter [*] Narrative continues just after the end of the original story — you can even import your characters from the previous adventure [/list] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44772825/b5680f4bcd40328f67df98ffa3ea08a1a3d8d783.png[/img] The new character options up to level 8 will be added to the base game as well for use with mods, but to play the new adventure path, you need this DLC. [h2]Advance to level 8[/h2] Advance your characters up to level 8 and experience new heights of power that you'll need in this higher-level adventure: [list] [*] Learn level 3 and level 4 spells, from the famous [i]fireball[/i] and [i]haste[/i] to tricks like [i]confusion[/i] or the terrifying [i]phantasmal killer[/i]. [*] Enchant your weapons with property runes like [i]frost[/i] or [i]disrupting[/i] to customize them against your foes. [*] Equip yourself with boots, gloves, necklaces, rings and other magic items [*] Expand your options with new feats specific to your ancestry and class: Grow your animal companion, expand your kineticist gate, and attain martial mastery with critical specialization effects.

A child disappears from Dawnsbury and while you initially suspect a kidnapping by a hag, soon you find out it's no mere hag coven who now plots against Dawnsbury. Indeed, even an angel descends from Heaven to warn you that action is needed imminently. And so, you must once again venture out of Dawnsbury in search of answers: to the swamp, to a demonic fortress, and beyond still, in the hope that you can find a way to end the so-called "profane barrier" before everything is lost. This new adventure takes you into all-new locales, both natural and exotic, and sees you explore damp swamps, evil fortresses, ancient ruins and beautiful temples. You will fight foes both expected and new, you will navigate unfamiliar environments and find your way forward through both battle and diplomacy.

Each skill challenge is a little different, but in general, in a skill challenge, there are no enemies on the battlemap. Instead, you solve the challenge in other ways, such as by using your skills or making creative use of your spells and magic items. The degree to which you succeed at a skill challenge can then even impact encounters in the future.
