ANNOUNCEMENT: GM Tivvy announced a new policy for Spell Knowledge and Martial Knowledge Items. They’re BACK, but with new rules. Basically, if you buy one now, and the spell they contain gets updated, it will be the updated spell, not a grandfathered-in original version. At least that’s my take on it. Here’s the announcement:

GM Tivvy
New Spell Knowledge and Martial Knowledge Item Policy
on 22 February 2023 5:04 PM

on #event-announcements channel

We previously mentioned that we would no longer offer SK and MK items at paid events. We’ve gotten a lot of feedback regarding that decision and have had many requests to reallow them. As a result, we’re going to be releasing new SK/MKs, with the caveat that any new ones will not be updated as a result of future development changes. The full policy is below:

Spell Knowledge and Martial Knowledge Item Policy for Newly-created Items:

Any Spell Knowledge (SK) and Martial Knowledge (MK) items created henceforth will be permanently tied to the base spell/ability that they are created as. If there are changes to that spell/ability due to future development, the SK/MK item will always match those changes. They will not be updated to use the old version of the spell/ability via the Lost Arts spell circle or substituted for another spell/ability.
