Rulebook
New version
The whole rulebook has been updated; you will find a detailed list of the rule changes below. You can download the PDF from the resources page: https://arkada.studio/en/pages/erune-ressources
Master of Shadows screen
Master of Shadows character card
The screen disappears along with the quest booklet it was there to hide. All of the Master of Shadows' abilities are now printed on their character card, in the same format as the Adventurers'.
Quest book
The app now handles the whole scenario, the flow of the quests and the events. The physical booklet no longer has a role to play.
Shadow Pact tile
2 Shadow Pact cards
The tile becomes two separate cards, easier to handle. 1. Hidden Resources: pact reworked and improved. 2. Resurrection: same effect as the old version. 3. Purification: removed. The lasting curses rule no longer exists in Erune Ultimate, so this pact has no target left.
Trap detection die
All traps are now revealed on the board, so the detection action no longer has a purpose. Disarming remains, but it now goes through a success test (blue die).
Monster cards
New version
Layout reworked for better readability. Some monsters have updated stats.
Character cards
New version
Layout reworked for better readability. Some characters have updated stats.

Spell cards
New version
Some spells have updated effects, especially the Telluromancy ones.
