Latest changes to the C&C ruleset

[Andraax]

The following changes were just pushed to the test channel for testing:

• Added the ability to flag an ability check as a "saving throw"; hold shift while double clicking or dragging the ability roll.
• The effect "ABIL: (D) [ability]" no longer applies to rolls flagged as a "saving throw".
• The new effect "SAVE: (D) [ability]" has been added, which affects *only* rolls flagged as saving throws.

More changes to be announced soon.

So it's SHIFT now, not CTRL like you said in The Thread That Went Downhill Fast?

[Moon Wizard]

Shift is typically used for action/roll modifications (i.e. opportunity attack, critical damage, etc.); so that would be what I would suggest anyway.

Pretty sure I said shift there as well. Someone may have misquoted me.

[Talyn]

May have been me?! LOL

Anyway...

• Updated the QRI "wiki" page to document the new SAVE effect.

Oh, and for those who want to save "saving throws" in the hotkey bar - hold shift while you start to drag the ability check, then when you see the floating dice, you can let go of shift (but leave the mouse button down), and then select the hotkey bar you're interested in like normal, then drop the floating die onto the slot. It will save the "shift" state for the ability roll if done this way.

Great stuff.

Thanks for adding this.

So, for example, Bless, would be "Bless; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1" with no specifier as to what ability score for saving throws is used then?

The description of Bless is:

The caster’s allies gain +1 to hit, and a +1 on saving throws against fear.

So, you would use "Bless; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1 charisma".

Unless, of course, you want to use GM fiat to have the bonus to save apply to *all* saves.

Sounds like an update to the ruleset effects incoming?

[Andraax]

Probably not, but I am planning on including a module of common effects and modifiers with the ruleset.
