Two questions:
- Why are ":1" effects not applied with a round time of 1 (instead of 0)?
- Is it correct that effect (round) timers are not decreased when time changes happen to the general/calendar clock, but only when short/long rest is applied?

Because most conditions that have a value don't specifically last one round - the value is not a duration. Drained, Enfeebled, Sickened, Slowed to name but a few. The only one that reduces once a round is Frightened, and this is at the end of the turn, which FG doesn't currently support, but the next release will and Frightened is specifically coded in that release (v16).Quote:

I was planning on catering for that in afflictions. Have you seen anything like that outside of an affliction stage?Quote:

I should have checked the other effects to see if their value corresponds to a duration like Frightened. Stunned is another contender that can have a clear duration. Drained could use some special rules like Frightened, because it very clearly ends after a long rest.Quote:

Yes, Dirge of Doom bard spell. It applies a Frightened:1 that can't be removed for 1 round. I would say that if the Frightened condition has a duration, use that. If not, reduce it as normal automatically at the end of each turn.Quote:

Just another one of those cases where a hard fast rule can be applied. But, yes, I see the need for frightened having a duration that would override the default of reducing the value by one at the end of the frightened creature's turn.Quote:

Ahoi. Two more questions:
- Are there any plans to automate ammunition, like marking 1 ammo used when the corresponding damage is rolled?
- Are the Wounded and Dying effects/conditions used for any kind of automation yet? They don't seem to get applied when someone hits 0 HP and I don't know if applying the effect manually has any consequence other than information?!
Thanks in advance! ;)
It would be nice if links could be dropped on the "Notes" section of a character sheet. This way players can save links to reference content as char specific notes, like a reference to the Religion chapter of the CRB for divine chars.
Perhaps. And if it was done it would probably be for each attack roll, not for each damage roll. Because, according to the PF2 errata, using ammunition destroys it.Quote:

No automation is ever going to cover every eventuality. The base rules are that ammunition is expended when it's shot. So, if I implement any auto ammo use, then that's what it will do. If there's any exceptions to that then players will have to adjust their ammo use as required.Quote:

It was the FGU update. Info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l-descriptionsQuote:

Are the mutliclass Archetype feats not included yet (FGU, PF2, Core Rulebook purchased, running on a Mac) or am I just missing them? Purchased /downloaded FGU and the Core book yesterday, so everything should be up to date.
Just had a look, and they are definitely in there.

Thanks, that helped me find it. Learning PF2 and FGU at the same time is proving a bit challenging.
Also use the "Archetype" filter at the bottom to display all the feats from a specific archetype.
Question to the team working on implementing all of the second edition core rule book stuff, I was wondering it says the critical success and fumble tables should be present in second edition and it doesn't show up at all.
Welcome to the FG forums.Quote:

In the settings. The option to enable crit/fumble is there, which causes confusion.
Hello,
Current live release (Release 15), FG Unity.
I am unable to use action symbols as per the wiki in either the "Offensive or Proactive Abilities" section or "Automatic and Reactive Abilities" sections of an NPC entry (both title and main body).
The NPCs in the Bestiary do have them in those fields, so I was able to copy and paste the icon from an existing record into my own NPC record. It's just the substitutions documented in the wiki that aren't working.
Oh, sorry. I could have sworn they were... I'll look into fixing that soon.Quote:

Good afternoon, guys.
Amazing jump on release 16. Good job to everyone involved.
The reason i'm writing is to suggest something i've seen in other rulesets. Global Effects.
Basically, you can set a global effect to the combat (usually darkness, dim light, heat, cold, etc...) and they are applied to everyone (except those who has the appropriate sense or resistance). Are you working on something similar to that already?
Short answer... yes.Quote:

It's going through the review process. No definite ETA at this point.Quote:

I guess it was a mistake on Smiteworks' part and it isn't actually ready, but I'm guessing it's close. Do you have an ETA on release 17? The notes got me excited when I read them!
It's undergoing testing in the test channel. If there's no issues this weekend (when I'll be testing it in game), then it will probably be released next week. If there are issues, it’ll be delayed.Quote:

Don't use the test channel for gaming unless specifically asked to in the forums. It gets frequent updates from the developers doing their product conversions and frequently has errors. We don't take any responsibility for issues, errors, lost data, and game disruption from games running in the test channel - unless we have specifically put a call out for community testing.Quote:

Unfortunately there seems to be a bug with how you can double-click on effects in CT to open lookupdata. When new effects are added then they cannot be double-clicked unless the campaign is reloaded. When old effects are deleted then you can double-click on new effects, but the window will still show the lookupdata of the deleted effect, again unless you reload the campaign.
When a target succeeds on a saving throw and then receives damage from a spell then the target is removed from the attacker. Here is a screenshot of how a spell save was first failed and damage applied, the target was not removed. Then another spell save succeeded and upon receiving damage the target was removed from the attacker. This happens regardless of how "Target: Remove on miss" is set in preferences.

Never Mind I found it
I did a quick search and didn't find this listed.
Have you considered adding the player's current Hero Point total to the player's avatar pic, the way that is done with inspiration points in 5E?
Having a quick place to glance and see the player's current Hero Point totals without opening up their character sheets would be very handy.

Yes, something like that. And also make it easier for the GM to add hero points.Quote:
