Issue 3: Highflyers! brings over 800 new cosmetic options to players!
Rebirth's costume revamp soars to new heights with asymmetric chest and hips for male characters! And we didn't stop there: there's a bevy of new options for both male and female costumes, including Arm Wings and many more expert layering options for Integrated Tights!
And if that's not enough, we've added two automatic Inherent Slots in Health and Stamina, adding four whole new slots to your endgame builds! Keep reading for details.

Arm wings, that classic staple of many a comic book character, have been added to male and female characters! Several styles and multiple coloration schemes.
Additional upper body details include Freakshow inspired regulator tubes, hardboiled shoulder holsters, Anime-tastic midriff spicules, and an entire library of hazard vests.
(https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//4/4a/Icon_costume_head_0_filled.png) Asymmetric Chest and Hip Patterns for Males
Standard Male characters will now have access to the entire library of asymmetric chest and hip patterns introduced for Female characters with Issue 3. Over 100 new pattern options, seamlessly woven through the legacy library!
Take your costume game to the next level! With Issue 3: Highflyers!, male and female characters can take advantage of newly expanded integrated tights options. This advanced costuming feature allows players unprecedented power to mix and match over tights and under materials. With version 1.5 of this system, players can now layer skin tight garments over a variety of under surfaces including stone, bioluminescence, chitin, and chainmail. And then choose which layer gets patterned!
The pants make the man! Options first introduced with Issue 2 for females are now fully available for male characters. Revisit the 1970's with flares and bell bottoms. Go full superspy in a leather catsuit. Fly high into the golden age in Aeronaut jodhpurs. Evade your nemesis in High Street Houndstooth. Or just turn up in the shiniest pair of skin tight metallic pants known to mankind!
Back in the NC Live days, Paragon devs said, "We hear you! You want more power slots. We're investigating ways to make this happen." Though we'll never know exactly how Paragon may have done this, we've expanded upon some stubs in the code to finish one avenue that gives everyone 4 additional slots for their builds in a way that we think makes sense to most every build out there.

At levels 8 and 16, all characters will automatically receive one free slot in their Health power. Stamina gets its free slots at 12 and 22.
To obtain these slots existing characters will need to use a respec. We are handing out free respecs to every character at the launch of issue 3, to use these respecs type /respec into the chat window. For more, watch this brief tutorial video by GM El Bee.
Coming soon: Support for Inherent Slots on <b>Mid's Reborn</b> character build planner tool! Special thanks to the Mid's Reborn team for their assistance.

Heroes and Villains now can now use their alignment merits & influence to call in a Longbow transport or Arachnos copter for a quick shuttle to their next mission destination. Charges can be purchased at the Hero and Villain alignment vendors.

Fixed Guardian Spring Attack incorrectly dealing no damage, it now does damage as normal.
Guardian Hellfire Assault's Lash and Crack Whip now correctly use the melee damage table instead of ranged.

The resistance buff in Nature Affinity's Wild Growth is no longer resistable. (This bug did not affect the Guardian version.)
Rain of Arrows should now correctly deal all 3 ticks of damage again instead of 2.

Fixed missing sound in Hellfire Smash for Guardian's Hellfire Assault.

Title: Update Regarding the FreeSpec
Post by: retched on Apr 24, 2022, 11:15 AM
Morning all! Just here with an addendum to this.
Last week, the freespecs (or GM respec) weren't granted out properly. (For the technically inclined, I relearned this weekend that: NULL + x = NULL.)
So this weekend during the reset, we'll be granting out the respecs AGAIN to ALL characters. (Be sure to follow El Bee's tutorial again in the announcement thread.)
In addition, since there are a LOT of new costume pieces that everyone is likely itching to get a chance to use... I went ahead and scripted up ften free tailor sessions AND ten discounted tailor sessions for everyone to use. (When you visit the Facemaker, the tailor will try to use the Free Sessions first and then any discounts after that.)
Going forward, whenever we have a major change in powers, we'll be granting a respec to all characters on the server that were made before the maintenance window to deploy. If there are a ton of cosmetic changes, we'll add in some free tokens too.
If there are any problems, feel free to reach out to us on the Discord via the PPD Drone chat!
