Frosthaven 1.0 changes: what matters to your campaign

Which changes affect reference material?

Official notes describe a fully populated Codex covering heroes, items, buildings, monsters and bosses. Scenario special rules have clearer descriptions. These are the first places to verify an interaction before relying on an Early Access discussion or tabletop reference.

What changed around heroes and the outpost?

The update adds hero retraining, building functionality changes and a more interactive outpost interface. Several heroes of the same class can exist in the roster, but duplicates cannot be taken in the same party. The release also completes the seventeen-hero roster.

What should you do before the next expedition?

Review your class, inspect the rules of your selected scenario, and recheck outpost planning. Networking and optimization improvements are announced, but a general improvement statement does not prove that a specific historical bug is fixed.
