Yesterday, I posted about the Circle ability of the Scarlet Horizons thief core class. That ability is related to sneak attacks that yield 3x backstab damage. The Circle maneuver is easier and will be more broadly applicable, however.
And so last night's work brought my labors on the core and sub-classes of Scarlet Horizons to 62.5% completion.
I also added several more Heroic Deeds this evening. I particularly enjoyed writing this one:
Heroic Deed: Oh, Look! More Torches! 
Available to all classes at all levels. Sometimes you're in the dungeon longer than anticipated. You'd be surprised how many dungeon deaths are the result of the loss of illumination — one mis-step and a trap, monster, or crevasse takes your life! More often, however, it's your former allies who kill you: Adventurer A: "I told you to bring more torches!" Adventurer B: "You never said that, and I wield a two-hander! How would I even make use of a torch? Adventurer A: "Try wielding this, you @*!#!!" When you sacrifice a Risk Die, you suddenly find three more torches: "Let me check my pack one more time..." or "Oh, look, a chest full of gold, gems, and ... three torches!" Whenever this deed is used, there is a 50% per coin that 3 gold royals are also discovered.

This brings me to 29 deeds, with descriptions written for 26 of them.
