Arcane Wand: 1x Wooden Stake, 1x Diamond, Opal, Amethyst, Aqueous Arcane Crystal, Moonstone, Emerald or Sapphire. Quality determined by HAR: Arcana

Evasion mechanics clarified in a separate section of the mechanics page, and Grazing Hit officially added to the forum. [Evasion]
Grazing Hit: If you roll a success (12+) but not the same or higher than the attack while wearing light or no armour, half the incoming damage, rounded up (e.g. 3 damage halved is 1.5, so becomes 2 damage). Armour rolls occur as normal after the damage is halved, and this still counts as a hit (i.e. does not trigger Riposte).
Further clarification on mechanics page: While swapping weapons is a free action, you can only do this once per turn.
Several feats updated. [Feats]
Bardic Inspiration: Playing can now be interrupted if the bard suffers an attack, and performance requires two actions.
Nature's Touch: Feat owners are also able to interact more easily with non-hostile wild animals.
Rage: Blocking rolls now also get a bonus from Rage.
Siren's Singer: Effect now counters the effects of Bardic Inspiration and Vicious Mockery, but can be resisted.
Skewer: Damage is now lowered for each enemy struck by the skewer.
Skirmishing Party: Reworked. Now grants an AOE boon to party members.
Steadfast Defender (renamed from Polearm Reach): Reworked. Now applies to more weapon categories, and requires an action.
Dual Striker: Added unarmed template.
Quickfooted: Added Arcane Staff template to Quickfooted bonus.
Shieldmaster: Added Arcane Wand template to Shieldmaster bonus.
Sanctuary: Penalty changed from -1 HAR to -1 Belief.
LW: Flexible Design: Clarified that it can only be changed once per turn, as a free action.
Harder Punch: Ranged weapons are now usable, but with a penalty.
Whirling Devil: Now requires two actions.
Obsessive (Hindrance): Penalty increased to -3.
New feats added.
Fanning Blade: When wielding a throwing knife, meteor hammer, sling, or arcane wand, you spread your attack as a Limited Action: make one attack roll for every target in a 5x5 area in front of you, with a -1 aim penalty for each attack roll. Any allies in this zone are also at risk of being hit and you must target everyone within the area.
Halfsword: When wielding an arming sword or finesse blade you can declare your attack as a half-sword attack, which grants it armor piercing at the cost of -1 to its damage for that attack. You must have a free hand to half-sword.
Backline Flanker: When wielding a Skirmishing weapon, roll a +1 bonus to all weapon attacks on targets in melee range with an ally. This bonus lasts until you take damage in combat.
