Hey everyone! The change notes from version 0.01 to 0.02 will be the least comprehensive of all the change notes because I had to take a significant break from development from the start of 0.01 to the end of 0.02 due to getting married. These notes are also the least important, seeing as nobody except my internal testers will ever see version 0.01!

Added a Class Trait for each class.
Vanguard
Added Class Trait
Protector - Reaction
Whenever an ally is the target of an attack, you may use your reaction to move up to 10ft into the line of sight of that attack and become the new target.
Gunman
Removed Entrench and replaced it with Suppressing Fire
Suppressing Fire - Primary Ability - 2 Energy
Make a weapon attack at a target and reduce ammo by 3. On a success, deal weapon damage +3. Afterwards, the target's evasion rating is reduced by 3. This effect continues until the start of your next turn, or until the target moves from their current position.
Removed the automatic suppression from Spray-n-Pray on a failed attack and changed the ammo cost from 1 per effected enemy to a flat 4.
Development Notes:
The Gunman had a cool initial concept of hunkering down, gaining a ton of defensive/offensive bonuses, dealing a lot of damage, but making them extremely slow. Unfortunately, the fantasy of this concept was not fun to play. Players felt like they had no choice but to let more mobile enemies run laps around them, and the Gunman never felt like a tank since enemies could just avoid them entirely.
With the changes to the Suppressed status and the addition of the Suppressing Fire primary ability, the class can now feel like a supporting tank in combat by reducing a targets evasion rating (making it easier for allies to attack), and also reducing an enemy's chance to hit through the new suppression mechanic.
Finally, the Gunman now has two base Primary Action abilities, allowing their Secondary Action to be used on the Suppress action more often.
