Kinetic Vanguard v14.3.0 sharpens high-level subclass mechanics, makes the player-facing reference easier to navigate, and replaces the old control headline with a mechanical-value model.
Highlights:
- Refined Fighter 18 scaling: Holdout now deals 1d6 + Psionic Ability modifier force damage, Psychokinesis gains its once-per-Attack-action 3d8 Psionic Apex packet, and Electron Burst / Arctic Tempest area damage is retuned.
- Glacial Spike now replaces Slow on its triggering strike instead of stacking the same Speed reduction, while hostile named-condition effects consistently retain their required saving throws.
- Start Here moves Blood Tax into Terms to Know; Rules Reference uses simpler direct Topic/Name navigation; Calculator / Feature Deck now owns one shared Psionic Save DC and a calculated Holdout Option card.
- Control Value is now the primary control-balance metric using the frozen Control Unit primitive/value model. Control Reliability reports delivery of that same selected package.
- Battle Master and Eldritch Knight comparator coverage was expanded and audited for the current benchmark methodology.
- Development authority is schema 2.4.0 with harness projection contract 1.2.0.
- The obsolete legacy_v14_1 benchmark profile, trials/seeds options, and their provenance columns are retired.
