Where is the full text of Achievement Point boons?

[Distinguished Decapus]

I looked recently for the text of the various new Achievement Point boons, but couldn't find them anywhere. While short descriptions of each were included in recent blog posts, those descriptions aren't necessarily complete.

It would be really nice if the exact text of boons was available to read before purchasing. Have I just missed it?

For example, these blog posts briefly describe the Evolving Destiny and Rewrite History boons:

February Update
Achievement Points and Free RPG Day

I downloaded Rewrite History (0 AcP) and also bought Evolving Destiny (20 AcP). While the above text is accurate, there's also a hidden catch not mentioned in the blog posts that describe either of these boons: a PC is taxed 15% of their total wealth when they use the boon.

Here's the text of each boon. Again, it would be really nice if boon text was available to peruse before purchase, so players can see what they're buying before committing AcP.

Rewrite History:

Quote:

Rewrite History (Limited-Use, Service): Between adventures, you may use this boon to completely rebuild your character, changing even features that are normally outside of the scope of retraining. This allows you to change the character’s ability scores, ancestry, background, class, feats, heritage, skill proficiencies, and related features. Remove everything your character has purchased with gp, as well as their class, feats, skill proficiencies, and related features. Your character’s wealth is set to 85% of the total gold you’ve earned—this reduction represents a small amount lost from consumable use as well as items sold back for a particularly favorable rate. This rebuilding process does not change the amount of Fame, Reputation, or gp the character has earned, nor does it change the resources your character has expended on services such as spellcasting.

You can also refund any faction boons for the Fame price at which you purchased them, though you cannot sell back Limited-Use boons that you have expended or Faction Champion boons that you have used to earn Reputation for a faction.

All changes to the character must be applied by the time the character next plays an adventure; once the adventure begins, no further changes can be made with this boon.

The boon is only valid if used on or before August 31st, 2020.

Evolving Destiny:

Quote:

[ ] Evolving Destiny (Limited-Use, Service): Your early adventures have exposed you to difficult realities, forcing you to re-examine your skillset. Fortunately, your career is young, and course-correction is fairly straightforward. Between adventures, you can check the box that precedes this boon to completely rebuild your character so long as they have 48 or fewer XP (the Career Change boon allows you to rebuild a character of any level). Remove everything your character has purchased with gp, as well as their class, feats, skill proficiencies, and related features (but not their ancestry or background). Your character’s wealth is set to 85% of the total gold you’ve earned—this reduction represents a small amount lost from consumable use as well as items sold back for a particularly favorable rate. This rebuilding process does not change the amount of Fame, Reputation, or gp the character has earned, nor does it change the resources your character has expended on services such as spellcasting.

You can also refund any faction boons for the Fame price at which you purchased them, though you cannot sell back Limited-Use boons that you have expended or Faction Champion boons that you have used to earn Reputation for a faction.

All changes to the character must be applied by the time the character next plays an adventure; once the adventure begins, no further changes can be made with this boon.

When those Boons were announced, the 15% cost was included in the announcement (I remember because I made a joke about it not technically being a "tax"), but your request to have the full text available before purchase is valid.

Leadership, I believe, is working on making that a reality. Or at least they are aware of the complaint. It's probably buried in the comments of one of the Blogs.

I found this document from a Google search. No idea where it's linked from though.

[Gary Bush]

That is from playtest.

I ran into similar confusion. I first downloaded the free rebuild, and saw it had the %15 wealth reduction. I then made a poor assumption that the rebuild that costs 20 acp must be an improved version of the free one. I later learned the free one was temporary, but was initially surprised that the two were identical in all things but cost.

I guess I missed the announcement, but extra details would be useful before paying the purchase price.

Exactly. This is what happened to me, too: I decided to purchase the 20AcP version because it must be better, have fewer restrictions, etc (it actually has more restrictions for more AcP cost).

Glad to hear that staff is working on making the full boon text available to anyone who wants to purchase one in advance.

[Hmm]

For those of you that downloaded the free versions before the paid ones... You could probably get this issue resolved by writing to [e-mail].

Hmm

Does Evolving Destiny allow you to change ability scores?

I had the same problem with World Traveler. It was something of a suprise that it didn't include any area not detailed in the world guide.
