The slide-rule in the equipment list is just a "side rule".

Also the archetype field doesn't accept an archetype link. It would be super helpful if it did.

I've had a crash on the combat tracker, I'm trying to isolate the steps to help you replicate it.

All in all, it's already a great rule set, thanks guys.

All typos and font/symbol issues reported so far are fixed, the combat tracker script error will be bashed to oblivion soon too. Since none of those is gamebreaking bug, the update will come in 2 weeks on the LIVE channel. I added as enhancment the ability to drag & drop archetypes to the field so it can be referred easily.

Note that you can open the respective skills descriptions by double-clicking on the skill name in the character sheet.

It doesn't seem to record damage caused during combat. I'm having to keep a paper record of how combat progresses or am I missing something

Valyar
January 17th, 2021, 10:50
The damage caused should be applied as conditions after armor roll is done automatically once the GM hits apply. Let me look into that.

The text box for HQ development points seems to be missing from the Reference Manual (players).

Is dodge calculated correctly? As I read the rules, if you roll the same number of successes to dodge as the attacker did to hit, you can avoid the damage. That doesn't seem to appear on the combat tracker. Unless you roll more successes to dodge, than the hit roll. Or am I missing something?

I love the ruleset by the way!!

Hi AlterZwerg,

Can you pinpoint where the typo is?

Ah, my bad. Thought drag&drop was already in there... I was just bragging to one of my Players about the merits of FG not having to type anything in and then - bam! ;)
The typo is "Outmeneuver", afaik it should be "Outmaneuver"

Valyar

I will fix it.
PS: we aim to make the archetype drag and drop, but considering the loose character creation it will be probably link to the archetype page for now.

March 27th, 2021, 22:12

I know there isnīt much to drag into the sheet, but just having the link to the Archetype would be enough (at least for me)

I've noticed two things so far.

#1: There seems to be no entry for Rifle in the equipment section and Musket seems to use an amalgamation of Rifle/Musket stats going by the Vaesen source book.

#2: The 'Kick or Punch' equipment listing incorrectly uses CLOSE COMBAT instead of FORCE to calculate success. The attack correctly lists FORCE as the skill to use, but I believe the error is tied to the Melee category setting. The 'Kick/Punch' equipment listing correctly uses FORCE but only 'Kick or Punch' appears on the list when you sort equipment by Melee.

Hi 5xad0w, thanks for reporting those. Both are now fixed and I submit to SW today.

For item #2 you can update the category of the item in your inventory to Unarmed from Melee and the automation will properly pick the FORCE skill during roll. When the fix is delivered, the items in character's inventories won't be updated as they are instance of the object that is modifiable.

PS: Note that there is Kick/Punch item in Unarmed category, you can use that too.

This appears only in Unity, as the program is rendering the elements differently for some reason. Probably the last update caused this, but it is cosmetic and easy fix.
The numbers are there, just increase the width of the windows by few pixels and they will appear. To avoid such inconveniences, I submitted an update for this too. :)

This is a weird one since it is more of a typo in the actual rulebook (it exists in the printed edition i have at least) but the Emergency Medicine talent allows a player to ignore MENTAL conditions when using the Medicine skill, but Medicine uses precision, which is a PHYSICAL attribute. Thus, rules as written, Emergency Medicine does nothing.

This is probably something to bring up with publisher, and see if they want to publish official errata. Our DLC follow the exact same text as the rulebooks they are adapted from.

Just learning this ruleset. I noticed if I roll skill test for a skill that I have a 2 in and a 1 for the attribute (3 total) and if I have three conditions, I get an error and it says I have too many conditions to roll that skill. However, on page 40 of the ruleset, it states that no matter how many conditions you have you may always roll at least one die. Thanks!

Gwydion
May 16th, 2022, 12:26
One other question. I don't see a way to create parcels in the ruleset. Based on another thread it looks like you could at one point? Did this break with some underlying FGU update or am I missing something which is usually the case? Thanks!

Moon Wizard
May 16th, 2022, 17:03
I had disabled them in February as part of the currency feature cleanup; since currencies were disabled in Vaesen PC sheets. Since parcels support currencies by default; in Vaesen, the data was added to the PC sheet data with no way to access or remove.

Ok, these are minor, but thought I would report them anyway. Loving the ruleset and can't wait to run a game:

Archetype - Vagabond - Talents have the names listed, but the lniks are listed below equipment

Equipment: A few items do not have the proper parsing (e.g. [INSPIRE +1]" instead of "[INSPIRATION +1]
Liquor ("INSPIRE +1" instead of "INSPIRATION +1")
Writing utensils and paper ("INVESTIGATION" instead of [INVESTIGATION +1]

For all equipment items under the "special" field, if you hover over the text it turns blue as if it is parsed and you can roll but if you double-click on it you get either a script error or erros that say "you are mentally broken" or "you are physically broken".

Gwydion
May 22nd, 2022, 21:23
No rush at all but I did check this with two conditions and if I have an attribute and/or an attribute with a skill and combined they have a "2" value, I still get the error message in chat that I have too many conditions to make the roll. Even if I add modifiers it doesn't override the error. I believe that you can have up to three conditions (mental or physical) and still should be able to roll at least one die no matter your score in the attribute/skill. You don't become broken until you get the fourth condition in either mental or physical. Here is the rule I'm referring to:

No matter how many Conditions you have accumulated, you may always roll at least one die.

When you already have three Conditions of the same type and acquire a fourth one, you become Broken. This means that you are seriously injured, temporarily insane, or otherwise worn down. You may not perform any actions, physical or mental.

Thanks again! Hope to run a oneshot soon.

Valyar
May 23rd, 2022, 13:34
OK, the issue with the conditions vs. dice pool is identified - roll is not allowed and message is printed in the chat when you have 3 conditions of same type checked and your unmodified (i.e. attribute+skill) dice pool is 3. This is because each condition removes 1 die. We will fix this soon, it is logic update that will take some time to update and test.

The string in the equipment's Special field are fixed and now they should properly adjust the rolls.

The vagabond profile and the location of the talent links in the Archetypes library is fixed. Initially I checked only the reference manual, where things are ok.

I don't have the physical book yet, so apologies if this is how the book is actually printed, but it looks like there is a typo in the Core Rulebook - Gamemaster Section - Reference Manual - Chapter 9 - "Gamemasater Techniques". I am guessing this should be Gamemaster, since the first sentence ".. exploring different Gamemaster techniques." and it's in the Gamemaster Section of the rulebook.

Can you confirm that you have the images and all is proper in the Images library? Before that could you "reset" the module just in case, during QA there was some weird behavior related to this.

Hi Moon Wizard,

I noticed a couple more things looking over the Silver of the Sea...

1) I can't seem to get the combat tracker to deal out initiative cards. When I click on Menu > Turn Order > Reset Turn order, nothing happens. I'll attach an image (note below). Also, there's times when you need to swap initiative order, or redraw, and I'm not sure how that should work.

2) Free League is adding a box for Capital to Vaesen character sheets. Can that get added to the Fantasy Ground's Veasen sheets? Here's info...
https://forum.frialigan.se/viewtopic.php?t=9115

So on attaching images here, I normally use linux mint, and google chrome browser doesn't show any of the options to attach images, or format text. When I go to a different laptop running windows, it does show up (but that's a little inconvenient because I run FG from linux).

Thanks!

When you make a Parry on the character sheet, it always uses Force.

It should be using Close Combat for armed parries, and Force for unarmed parries.

Could we either get..
1) two separate Parry buttons, one for Armed and another for Unarmed
2) have the sheet be smart enough to toggle between the Force/Close Combat parries, depending if a melee weapon is active
?

The Dance of Dreams mystery is missing the main NPC, Oscar Hjort, described on page 209 of main rulebook. According to the description, several abilities are defined as per page 119 of the rulebook.

Thanks for the fixes earlier this year.
I was checking out the combat tracker, and I'm seeing a few issues I believe. Had a couple of questions too.

1) Vaesen can not parry
When there's pending damage going to a Vaesen, and I select Block from the attack resolution, FG doesn't roll for the Vaesen. It always says it
s a failure. It should be rolling their Body Control according to the rules.
Also, what do the Block (U) and Block (M) stand for?
Is the plan to have both of these on the character sheets too?

2) Stress Foe throws an error when stressing an animal
The other way around seems to work fine (animal can stress PC)
Don't call PETA on me (-:

3) Blocks seem to be ignored by attack resolution.
If an actor has a single success, and that is blocked, the damage can still be applied. Is the gm just supposed to cancel the attack resolution in that case? Does the automation use blocks at all?

thanks!

Block (U) and Block (M) were recently introduced and is used to Block via Force (Unarmed) or Close Combat (Melee). Originally we had block via Close Combat only.

Animal does not have mental toughness according to their stat blocks, just physical toughness according to my interpretation from the block on p.168.

Vaesens are not fully automated, this part probably is manually handled, but I have to check the code next week and see what is implemented and what not. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the info Valyar.

For Block U/M can we get Block M on the character sheets? More fun if the players roll it themselves I'd think.

I was thinking Animals were more like Vaesen, where their one stat combined mental and physical toughness (but I could be wrong here.) I could see PCs yelling at an animal trying to shoo it away.

Cool am curious on the blocks.

take care

I'm seeing a bug on the Actions on the character sheets during combat....

Drop Item, Push/Reposition & Knock Down/Pin

...all give me runtime errors when selected..

ERROR: Invalid stuntType <stuntname> for skill nil.

I'll attach examples.

Hey,

We're now looking into this issue and we're trying to get the bug fixed asap.

Thanks,

Thanks Simon. I'm hearing good feedback from players on the FG implementation of Vaesen.

I noticed a couple of more things....

A - Defects/Insights always active
When you give a player a Defect or Insight on the character sheet, its always active and adjusts die rolls. Since they should only fire once per session, I was hoping the check-boxes below would toggle them off, but the check-boxes don't seem to do anything.

B - Can not adjust success
When I adjust a combat roll on the dice tray, and then drag it onto the combat tracker, it throws a runtime error (attached). I thought it would adjust the number of successes.

C - NPC vs PC conditions
I think character's PC/MC score are showing one value too high on the combat tracker. Also it'd help if the tracker showed zeros for PC/MC.
Here's my reasoning. Let's say a NPC has a physical toughness of 1. They can take one point of physical damage and not be broken but two points breaks them. The combat tracker is confusing, because after a point of damage, it show a PC of 'blank' even though the NPC isn't broken. Also showing zero instead of blank would be more clear think. (-1 showing broken would be ideal.)
For player characters, the combat tracker shows a PC/MC of 4, but they become broken on the 4th point of damage. To stay consistent with NPCs, I'd think it'd make more sense to show that they have 3 PC and MC when uninjured.

D - Generate on story templates
Definitely not a bug, but wanted to check, would it be possible to change the Generate button on story templates so it could be dragged to a hotkey?

Thanks!

Hi
I found an additional bug..

NPCs that have taken damage are not getting penalties on their skill rolls.
In the attached example, Jensine has taken 2 physical damage (she started with 4 physical toughness and is down to 2). On her attack roll she got her full 12, instead of 12-2 dice.

thanks

getting an error trying to upload the image but easy to reproduce. Just damage an npc and have them make any skill roll.

On A
I presume you are talking about the Insight & Defects box on the Action tab of character sheet? If yes, the idea behind this is the following: The box is parsed each time a roll is made and if you are following the naming convention for roll modifier as outlined in the ruleset manual, the modifier will be automatically applied. The intention is to have some other way to apply temporary or permanent effect than keeping PCs in the Combat Tracker all the time.

if you don't wane Insight/Defect to be applied all the time, but the player to know what the MOD is, just remove the [] and it won't be parsed.

It is not checkbox because then players cannot come up with custom conditions and etc. or make notes as they want. In the first release it was just text field as note, but it was later enhanced based on customer requests to support automation.

On B
I am not sure what you mean, could you explain what you do step by step? I don't think adjustments in chat and then drag to CT are supported at all.

On C
The CT shows the max condition you can have before being out of commission. :) If we show 3 instead of 4, when you deplete the 3 you will report 0, and some might think the character is broken, while they can still operate. I prefer to have the broken also part of the calculation, which is aligned with the way NPCs are displayed.

On D
This is enhancement that should be done in the CoreRPG ruleset, not ours.

It is not strictly speaking a bug, but not implemented automation due to the fact that NPCs/Animals are mostly having 1 physical or mental toughness and the framework to track this in CT was lower on priorities compared to the Vaesen category framework (because NPC cards should not be used to track stats, this is what combat tracker is for). It is somewhere in the backlog and if there are more Vaesen products coming up in future (or sufficient time for this) we might look in that. The global desktop modifiers should serve this well.

This is fixed and will be available in the next release of the ruleset, that will match the FGU release.
I also found other minor issues as non-displaying tooltips and invalid codes submitted for stunts. Thanks for the report.

Hello,

I think there is a problem with Vaesen's sheet, there is no "Identified":

The Vaesen developers specifically disabled NPC identification in their implementation; so that's by design as far as I'm aware. Valyar and Simpe did the development on the Free League product DLC.

I guess what I'm asking is a breakdown of how the combat tracker works with the PC having successes with their parry roll.
