When using a melee weapon, you deal an extra damage on a successful critical hit:
If the weapon’s critical multiplier is x2, add an extra 1d6 points of damage.
If the weapon’s critical multiplier is x3, add an extra 2d6 points of damage.
If the weapon’s critical multiplier is x4, add an extra 3d6 points of damage.

Creatures immune to critical hits can’t be affected by this feat.


Add +1d6 to your sneak attack damage.

This feat may be taken multiple times. Its effects stack.


While you are raging, any enemy that views you must make a Will save opposed by your Intimidate check or become panicked (if its character level less than yours) or shaken (if its character level equal to or up to twice your character level) for 4d6 rounds.

An enemy with character level greater than twice your character level is not affected by this feat.


Fighter: Gains an extra feat at 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter (1, 2, 4...). Similar after 20th level (22, 24...).
Cleric: Gains an extra feat at 1st level and every 3 levels thereafter (1, 3, 6...). Similar after 20th level (23, 26...).

Deflect Arrows
- Snatch Arrows
Stunning Fist
- Improved Stunning Fist


Once per round when you would normally be hit with a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it.

You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this feat. You must be aware of the attack and not flatfooted.


When using the Deflect Arrows feat you may catch the weapon instead of just deflecting it.

Thrown weapons can immediately be thrown back at the original attacker without Attacks of Opportunity or kept for later use. You can turn this option on/off in combat.


Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier vs. foe's Fortitude), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round.

You can turn this feat on/off in combat.

Uses per day: Character level/4.

Can be used no more than once per round. A failed attack roll ruins the attempt, too.


Add +2 bonus to the Fortitude saving throw of your stunning attack.

This feat may be taken multiple times. Its effects stack.

Turn
Sweeping Strikes
Whirlwind Attack
Vital Strike
Devastating Strike

Multi-class, Spell Slots, New Spells, Familiars, Alignments, Deities, Domains, Retraining, and 6 New Classes:
Bard
Druid
Monk

The development order and additions/deletions of above contents depends on the situation, and may need many preparations, so please be patient ;)

Hello Adventurers,

First of all, thank you very much for your long-term support and help! Thank you for your feedback and suggestions that help us improve Low Magic Age!

As we said in the Early Access statement, we started the EA stage of LMA at a low price to thank players who have been supporting and caring about us since the prototype stage. As the game develops, the price will be progressively increased until the full release.

After the current discount event, we plan to increase the game price from 10 US dollars to 15 US dollars.

So consider this your last chance to buy it for $5!

Thanks again for your continuous support!

For some unknown reason, the Early Access description on the store page of Low Magic Age just disappeared. The developer console indicates that the Early Access is over, too. But we did not modify any related settings. We are currently contacting Valve to resolve this issue.
--------
The Early Access bug of Low Magic Age has been fixed by Valve!

Here is the answer from Valve:

Hi,

I've returned the app to Early Access. There's a rare bug that occurs where Early Access is removed as the primary genre. Normally the primary genre is locked for Early Access apps to prevent this (you can check now on the Basic Info tab of the store page admin), so it's not clear how it ends up getting removed.

We're looking into this issue more generally -- if you catch this issue again, please reach out to us to fix it, but if you can let us know what changes you were making beforehand, that would help us!

Just to be clear, this isn't the same as a full release out of Early Access. The main thing that changed is only that the Early Access section disappeared on the store page.

Best regards,
Andrew
