Repair Shield

[Cling]

Is there a way to target a shield with the repair activity and automatically "heal" back hp to it? Right now I am going into the the inventory tab, selecting the shield, unlocking it, and removing damage according to the check result.

Thanks

Refer to the "Repair (shield)" activity from the legacy Core Rules - full details in the "How to Use" section.

I've just realised this isn't in the remastered Player Core modules, I'll add that in a future release.

Thanks. I found it among the activities and added it to my character. It works well.

Great!

One small thing I didn't notice before. The critical failure result is a little confusing. The effect says "Heal" but it (correctly) damages the shield. And the rules says you should subtract the hardness of the shield when applying the damage, but that isn't done.

The whole repair shield (including the critical failure damage) is encompassed in the relatively new Heal - Shield functionality, hence the use of Heal as the base action. Thanks for pointing out the omission of apply hardness, I'll get this fixed in a future release.

Hardness should be applied to the critical failure damage with today's update" https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?80083-Release-Updates-for-January-16th-2024

I've also added some additional messaging to the shieldblock and repair shield chat messaging to indicate the level of damage/repair for the shield.

Both of the remaster Player Core (full and ORC releases) now have the "Repair (shield)" activity. This will need to be manually added to existing PCs - drag/drop to Activities -> Skill Activities -> Crafting.

Great! We’re playing tonight so I will have the opportunity to test it!

Something is wrong. I have my shield eqipped and it has 5 hit point damage but the Repair (shield) activity returns that it doesn't find a damaged shield to repair. It's been this way a couple of weeks.

I am trying to add screenshots to this post like I've done previously but I am getting a message it can't verify I am human. Hmm, that would answer so many things..

Check that you don't have another item that is tagged as a shield equipped.

If you can't upload an attachment, it may be that the token needed has expired. Log out of the forums, then back in and try again.

Logged out and back in. "Security token missing" is the error message I get when I try to attach pictures. The inventory shouldn't include any other shields. It has "Shield Spikes" but those are a martial weapon.

Check the item type for the shield spikes, it's a radio button along the bottom of the item record.

Weapon is the box ticked.

Can you upload the PC XML to a cloud drive, or something similar, and then provide a shared access link here?

[Cling]

Went through all items in the inventory. They're either gear, armor, weapon or other. Only the shield is shield.

How did I do that? Extract the "PC XML"?

[Trenloe]

Sorry, i thoight I'd mentioned this in an earlier post - but no! Click the blue arrow button in the top right of the charger tracker window to export the PC data to an XML file.

[Cling]

You did! But it wasn't in this thread and I couldn't remember where it was. Anyways.. perhaps this will work?

Thanks for attaching the PC XML. There is indeed only one equipped shield in the inventory.

I can get shield repair to work correctly. I'm guessing you didn't target the PC before rolling the repair activity? Can you try again and: 1) the PC needs to the in the combat tracker to enable targeting. 2) Target yourself before using the activity.

[Cling]

Of course. Now I feel like an idiot. I hadn't target myself. False alarm. Sorry for taking your time.

I'll add a chat message for shield DC activities when there isn't a target selected.
