Races
Several races have updated dark/holy knight favor class bonus changes.
Classes
Chemist (Base Class): Made slight changes to Craft Alchemical Item and Item Lore abilities based on suggestions from Manly Man and Luci from Discord.
Dark Knight (Base Class): Major revision. Removed alignment restrictions, removed alignment-related abilities, melded the Abyssal Knight archetype into the revised Dark Knight class.
Holy Knight (Base Class): Major revision. Removed alignment restrictions, removed alignment-related abilities, melded the Paladin archetype into the revised Holy Knight class.
Monk (Core Class): Combo Finishers moved from 3rd to 1st level.Added Suplex to the list of Combo Finishers. Fix up any Combo Finishers that affects all creatures to affecting enemies only.
Samurai (Hybrid): Bushidos moved from 3rd to 1st level. Fix up any Bushidos that affects all creatures to affecting enemies only.
Sword Saint (Hybrid Class): Vanguard Talent Tree now indicates only melee attacks/weapons.
Archetypes
Abyssal Knight (Dark Knight archetype): Was removed and consumed by the new dark knight class.
Black Knight (new-ish Dark Knight archetype): Old dark knight converted into an archetype.
Battlerager (Beastmaster archetype): Added Unrelenting Endurance ability to replace Improved Empathic Link, as per Ionus‘s suggestion from Discord.
Blademaster (Sword Saint archetype): Fix up any Combo Finishers that affects all creatures to affecting enemies only.
Chaos Knight (Dark Knight archetype): Removed Beacon of Chaos.
Dark Swordsman (Dark Knight archetype): Moved Dark Pool from 3rd to 1st level and Dark Sword Talents from 4th to 2nd level, gaining every two levels thereafter.
Death Knight (Dark Knight archetype): Added an alignment restriction.
Druid (Beastmaster archetype): Replaced One with the Wild ability for Geostep. Added Armored Mage ability (5th), replacing Beastmaster Tactics and Teamwork Feats.
Face Stealer (new Illusionist archetype): Among practitioners and adepts in the ways of illusion, there are those who specialize in the art of disguise to a degree unmatched by many. Developing their talents for impersonation and deception, face stealers are often shadowy agents of espionage and social trickery. Trust is a luxury many can ill afford, and the face stealer has a hidden monopoly on the market. Created by Virgil from Discord and the Forums.
Fell/Temple Knight (Dark/Holy Knight archetypes): Added more clarification to their spellcasting and added Armored Mage ability to each.
Holy Swordsman (Holy Knight archetype): Moved Holy Pool from 3rd to 1st level and Holy Sword Talents from 4th to 2nd level, gaining every two levels thereafter.

Scaled Fist (Au Ra Monk archetype): Draconic Mettle now scales by level.
Shadowrager (new Dark Knight archetype): While nearly all dark knights weaponize their malice, none can do so quite like the shadowrager. Just beneath their skin lies a burning hatred that comes out in a glorious display of wrath, with which they lay their enemies flat. Created by Manly Man from Discord.
Stonelord (Dwarf Holy Knight archetype): Moved Phase Strike from 12th to 13th level and moved Mobile Defense from 19th to 17th level.
