Update 2018.05.03

• bugfix: item and npc record scroll bars for action/powers where colliding with other parts of the interface
• bugfix: static HP settings were ignored, when using the HP field on npcs it will now use that instead of randomly rolling HP.
• bugfix: auto-hit on 20 when can't crit, creatures that can't hit a target with anything but a 20 could not crit but because of that setup it was also not hitting. This has been corrected. 20 always hits but doesn't always necessarily crit.
• Updated: NPC import updates for OSRIC module, tweaked import options for some variances in copy/paste text for OSRIC modules/books.
• Updated:Spells import option updated to support Rules Cyclopedia. Minor tweak to support importing rules cyclopedia spells.
• Updated:NPC "locked" mode view. Locked mode will show a summary of values. I'm not entirely happy with it yet and will probably tweak it a bit more. I'll be doing the same thing for spells in the future.
• Added MELEEAC, BMELEEAC as values that can be used in effects. MELEEAC is a modifier, BMELEEAC is the base AC value (lowest will always be used).
• Added RANGEAC, BRANGEAC as values that can be used in effects. RANGEAC is a modifier, BRANGEAC is the base AC value (lowest will always be used).
• Added MAC and BMAC as values that can be used in effects. This is in preparation for psionic powers which is not implemented yet.

This update is mostly some bugfixes and layout corrections. I wanted to put it out before I began working on setting up psionics because it might be a while before that is completed.

The MELEE and RANGED AC values are useful for effects that work differently depending on the type of attack. Like shield has an base AC for ranged attacks and one for melee attacks.

People will have to fish through all the posts to find what has changed unfortunately but character limit was reached.

Yeah, character limit can be a pain.

Maybe put all the release notes in a text file and attach that to post #1? It'll keep everything in one place. But people will have to download a text file and open it! :-o

I might just link it to the github repo as it includes all the updates and one stuff I don't include tho it's really not user friendly. I could be worrying about something no one really cares about I guess.

I've actually been thinking it might be best to start a thread in the Rulesets forum and go from there... now that things are less frantic as it was early on.

Update 2018.05.18

• Bugfix: Wisdom bonus spells for 13-16 corrected.
• Bugfix: death at 0 didn't show properly in chat output.
• Bugfix: weapon/nonweapon profs gained for NEW character using drag/drop class fixed.
• Update: import options for NPC to support (some) TSR styles entries in module.
• Update: cleaned up character sheet alignment in combat section
• Update: added Weapon penalty option in character sheet->combat section
• Update: added Psionic options to Charactersheet->Combat and Actions/Powers header
• Update: cleaned up npc display mode when "locked".
• Update: Weapon proficiency application in weapon details, looks different, same result.
• Update: Cleaned up scroll bar/alignment in class/advancedment window
• Added: "SingleWindow" (source from KEN L) as default behavior. Have one Window for each record type (one story, one npc/etc). Use control-left click to open multiple windows of the same type.
• Added: ondemand "manual roll" option for DM. control-click on/drag dice to get manual roll mode for that roll.
• Added: Psionic class/attack/defense/power features.
• Added: effect tags: DMGPSPO (use for ongoing psp costs also!), DMGPSP
• Added: weapon proficiency penalty default (used if no prof applied to weapon)
  

This update has the new options to support the Psionics from AD&D using the Darksun Setting version of the psionic rules. For the Psionic features I've put together an SRD/OGL version with the basic class and attack/defense modes that I've posted as a module with this post. It's a very basic version of the class and powers to give you something to start with on your own. I'd suggest using the PO: S&P and/or the Darksun setting (REVISED) since those are the mechanics I used for the mechanics the ruleset uses.

Keep in mind that this version of psionics is not the same used with 1e. I've no plans to write in support for the 1e version at this time. I don't think many (any?) people use psionics from 1e to justify the time. I've done my best to "hide" psionics in general unless you want to use it so it should be easy to ignore.

Here are some of the new Psion options on the character sheet/actions.

Update 2018.05.30

• Added: [xDx] roll tags to effects. When "STR: -[1d6]" is applied as an effect the [1d6] is rolled and placed into the effect as "STR: -3".
• Added: N/PC ability notes (Combat section) w/ Drag/Drop support.
• Added: "Story/Note" entry for custom Weapon entries w/Drag/Drop support of shortcuts.
• Added: Option to clone a weapon or power so you can easily replicate.
• Update: Character sheet, Layout changes. Some icons are placeholders.
• Update: replaced psionic hit/miss graphic
• Update: updated weapon prof selection.
• Bugfix: MR/Morale in NPC locked view was not displaying correctly.
• Bugfix: Active detail option when dropping NPCs in CT was not set correctly (closed now)

The new dice tag within effects I added because there are various spells in AD&D that use random determination. If you place a [xDx] dice string within a effect, when it's applied that dice roll will be rolled and replaced with the end value.

Character sheet layout has changed. Some of the icons are placeholders for now.

Added a few options I needed for NPCs so that when they are in CT DM has all the details they would need right there. This included shortcut popup notes for weapons/attacks and notes for general combat abilities (such as surprise/poisons/etc).

This mod is fantastic and just keeps getting better. Thank you!

[Varsuuk]

What the guy said! Really superb stuff!

Been working on a ruleset because I’ve always wanted to (would have been 1e but you totally pwned with AD&D Core even though doubt will get it complete, was hard to be inspired as it was already to near perfect) and have basically started from CoreRPG and been add8ng things from 5ec(using you as my spirit guide that way) but occasionally looking to AD&D Core for layout and some other things that may work for me.

One such was the advancements thing. I like it a lot for the varying things per level tracking and “looking ahead”.

I did not update to latest yet been sick on and off two weeks now with debilitating cold. Basically go to work (we are having a huge high profile project replatform with sick deadlines) and eat and sleep.

In the classes I looked at I did not see any place where the weapons tab or powers tab of advancements was used. I imagined powers might have had things like pass without trace or shapeshifter for druids, was never sure what the weapon tab would have.


Any 8n nutshell on how these are used or intended?
