About the images, it is possible to create an extension to replace images, but let me take a look into this, maybe i can incorporate higher rez images, and improve this in FGU, without you needing to work on it
That'd be awesome! Thank you for looking into it.Quote:

- Or something else you had in mind.
You could add a system in game for crafting. Something similar to the new ways to create characters in other official modules. For now I will hold off adding advantage options as attachments until you have made a decision. Have you had any ideas when it comes to implementing this?
Right now I am adding Templates as Items and adding a subtype as "Templates (Brawl and Melee)" for example. So if you are crafting something you could find and filter what you need relatively quickly.
I tested it out multiple times in different variations. The results are the same:Quote:

I think this would be a really good idea. Star Wars especially makes extensive use of the hard point system, and the genesys system I am currently using makes use of it too. I would definitely appreciate seeing this.Quote:

What if you made a new category called "Templates" When creating a new Template you would define the type of template. The template would then populate with the pertinent boxes, much in the same way Items work. You would then add all the changes this template makes to the thing of its type.
For example if I am looking to create a Energy Pistol I would look up the item, which I will add. I make my roll with 3 advantage I would then look at the 3 advantage templates and choose Destructive. The template I would have made ahead of time would only have in it +1 in the damage section. I could drag the template over the Item and it would apply the changes in addition too the damage that is already there. You could also store the template link and name on the item to show how it was altered in crafting. These would be separate from Atachments since you cant alter changes made in crafting, but you can always take off attachments. So there would have to be some sort of distinction between the two. You wouldn't have to have NPC templates be as detailed as character sheets, just enough entries to be able to apply any changes to a PC/NPC stat block. I would be cool to be able to drag talents or weapons with their links onto the template.
If you did this it would apply to so many other things in genesys and star wars. In Geneys you could do the same thing only with NPCs. Not to mention custom made templates such as Zombie template that can be added to any NPC.
You could even remove Special Abilties category and use it for templates instead.
Adding a stat block that adds on rather then replacing it would be the main objective of having templates.
Yes this might be alot of work but let me know what you think? :)
I think you are correct @Sevrick. This does seem like a way that we could kill quite a few birds with one stone. Statuses? Check. Bonus and Difficulty dice as a result of armor? Check. Bonuses due to weapons or attachments? Check. Templates added to a PC or NPC... it certainly seems like a really good way to go. In a game as a player in a starfinder game using Roll 20 (not my game, not my choice) however, the character sheet has a section for "Buffs" that allows you to set up anything that would affect your character positive or negative. They also have a convenient check box to activate or deactivate that particular item. Until it is need again. Might be a good place to start looking at code, maybe?
Whatever is decided I can't wait for whatever is next.
Not sure we are talking about the same thing. It seems you are talking about temporary status effects. I am talking about having the ability to make custom loadouts ahead of time that you can slap on a Weapon, Armor, Item, or NPC. Adding status effects to PC's would probably be different as they are temporary.Quote:
