Right now, the forge can help a bit, but has some short comings in what it was shoe horned to do. At the moment, it's not a top priority and would be best to fix the items after using the forge. I will have it on my list to find a solution, but may take some time to find one. I have also implemented the upgrade slots for items that receive them and there is currently no automation associated with that new feature. This does however let players manage the item changes instead of being on the GM's shoulders the entire time as the forge is GM only.

I'm not 100% certain this is a bug or not, but Starship items cannot be added to parcels. This seems like either a bug or an oversize because it means I can't reward players with starship parts via tables and other pre-generated content, and there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to be like "Amongst the cargo you find a ship weapon."

This would be a feature request as Starship items were never able to be added to parcels. It is a great idea and something to consider for the future.

On that note, is it intentional that we can no longer add item templates to parcels or the party inventory directly or is it an unintentional byproduct of the recent redesigns?

If they were able to be added to parcels, I can have a look and see where a change may have been done to limit it to items for parcels. I may want those placed under items as upgrades rather than item templates. Since the naming doesn't fit the purpose. Thanks for the report. I'll investigate it and see what we will do.

During our latest Dark Suns session the magic missile spell was not working correctly against Incorporeal creatures. I ran some test after the game without extensions loaded and confirmed there was a problem. Force damage should do 100% damage but is only doing 50%. I went into the spell settings and changed the spell to non-magical DMG and the spell does 100% DMG. I also noticed Incorporeal creatures damage does not do not do 100% damage to other Incorporeal creatures.

[DAMAGE] Magic Missile [TYPE: force, magic, spell (1d4+6=7)]


Damage [7] -> [to Oblivion Shade Spawn 11] [PARTIALLY RESISTED] [HALF] [STATUS: Wounded]


Change Spell Dmg to NO


[DAMAGE] Magic Missile [TYPE: force (1d4+6=9)]


Damage [9] -> [to Oblivion Shade Spawn 11]

SFRPG ruleset updated 8/10/2021.

I created a PC ship with the colony ship framework (Tier 11, bulk freighter) and received the following error in the console.

[ERROR] Script execution error: [string "campaign/scripts/charstarship.lua"]:119: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got function)

This error also appears when the aforementioned ship is opened for use. Removing the colony ship framework does prevent the error from appearing. In addition, the colony ship framework does not triple the number of expansion bays as it is supposed to.

The way damage is calculated has been significantly changed and the new version is on the TEST channel right now. That should resolve any issues with damage like your bug report.

This information is not included in the book. The Superscript was changed to regular text so the GM has a reference to the book the race was found in. This is the way it is printed in the book.

You are correct. One in the GM's Book and one in the players book

Enhancement Request - Features/Class Abilities:
Currently when leveling characters users open their character sheet, navigate to Abilities, Select Alt (Alternate) to the left of Class Abilities and they get a class filtered Features table. The only way to view which Features are available for their current level is to open each Feature one at a time. Using the Level filter towards the bottom only shows the specific level selected.

If it doesn't exist, can there be a way to see "available" Features based on current level? Or at least using specific query in the search to filter for a level range. ex. 1-8

Thank you for the request, and it's something to consider.

I think the Deck of Many Worlds Module may be missing elements at this time.

After purchasing the Deck I updated the FGU client. I then enabled both the Deck of Many Worlds and Locations extensions and disabled all other extensions. I then loaded up the server and went into Library -> Modules and Loaded the Deck of Many Worlds module, but I am unable to locate the Locations module to enable it.

Hi Muagen,

I inherited this product from a different developer so I will likely need a few days to look into this. I apologize for the inconvenience and will let you know once I look at it for a bit. Thanks.

I'm glad I'm not harping on something that you're already aware of.

Thanks for the response and for looking into this!

There's not a 'location' module to activate. With the 2 extensions loaded, and the Deck of Many Worlds module loaded, there should be a new button on your left, titled Locations.
(If you don't see the button on the left, makes sure it is loaded in the sidebar; go to Options (gear icon) -> Sidebar button on the bottom, and make sure the 'Locations button is orange.)

The module you are looking for is 'Deck of Many Worlds' inside Data Modules. Looks like you found the extensions before loading. Last item is in Sidebar which were moved into Options. That's where Locations can be added to the Sidebar. You can then click on 'DoMW' to play with.

Hi Muagen,

I got a chance to look at this and Curuthanir is correct. You just need to activate the Locations from the sidebar options.

Here is the list of steps (a picture with numbered labels is included in this response):

1. Click on the options button
2. Within the options, click on the Sidebar button
3. Make sure that Locations is clicked (is orange). The locations button will now show up on the desktop
4. Click the Locations button
5. Click the DoMW button within the Locations box. That will open the Deck of Many Worlds system.

Glad to hear. The original dev's instructions were probably perfect at one time but as you know, things change. For instance, at one point in time not too long ago, the sidebar button was not under options as it is now.

Is it still the case that it is not possible to roll back Hit Die if you have accidentally added a class that you subsequently delete?

---

Rolling back a class is not something that is easily automated. I don't think any ruleset has that capability. So, to answer your question, it is still not possible. (unless a lot has changed recently)

I just had a NPC accidentally target itself while targeting a PC. I then rolled an attack, the NPC hit itself, and then I untargeted the NPC via the "remove targets" button, which deleted the NPC's token and deleted it from the combat tracker. This is repeatable too, so I have no idea what's happening.

Based on what I read this is what I performed and it's not replicating the removal of the NPC on my end. Is this the process you followed?

Madman..

SFRPG ruleset (v2021-08-17) for Fantasy Grounds no extensions

The spell Soul Reap does not have the correct damage type. Currently "the" is listed as the damage type. The text of the spell doesn't have a damage type listed. The spell is supposed to only work on undead. I would probably use force as the damage type because this will allow it to work on regular undead and Incorporeal undead.

Soul Reap is found in AA4 on page 91.

I will look into it and get it fixed. It may be a spell parsing error. Thanks for pointing it out.

Starfinder Pact Worlds no longer displays any of the character themes related to the book.
Starfinder Pact Worlds (Players) for some reason DOES display them.

This also seems to apply to everything else, e.g. items, Races, etc.

This is intended as character options are located in player modules. This allows players to access the modules and interact with the data.

Right... but couldn't the players have done the same if the GM made it possible to load the original module? Which would also result in less maintenance, fewer errors, and the same result on both ends since the GM needs to make it possible to load the player version as well anyway?

When I bought the Pact Worlds, it was only a single module, and now every character sheet that includes anything from the original module (where the content has been split and moved to a "player module") not only fails to load the content, but also creates records that cannot be deleted, because FG thinks it's part of the module.

Is it safe to assume that even if the split was intended, the above result was not? And save for directly editing the db.xml, which not everyone knows how to safely do, how should the above be resolved?

I wanted to relay that the behavior you described, would be expected behavior for commercial products. The change in linkage would be something I would expect if the change was made suddenly. The change would cause the links to break in any campaign that set them up. I further investigated and the split to two modules was performed in April of 2018. This change was not a recent one and not one where I was with the company to assist in providing any migration of the data. So has it been some time since you've used Fantasy Grounds and this particular product?

No, I use FG regularly and for that particular campaign once a month.

I will take your word for that it was split on April 2018, but according to a backup I have from Juli 13 of 2020, themes for Starfinder Pact Worlds were present in the non-player version of the module, as it was possible to create a character with the Roboticist theme with the main module as reference:

Code:

---

<themelink type="windowreference">
        <class>theme</class>
        <recordname>reference.theme.roboticist@Starfinder Pact Worlds</recordname>
</themelink>
<themerecord type="string">reference.theme.roboticist@Starfinder Pact Worlds</themerecord>
<token type="token">tokens/host/Player chars/Armogorashtakaz.png</token>

---

During a level-up on April 10/11 2021, I find no indication of an error having accured when the theme was "re-applied" - the theme record was still as seen above.

During a level-up today, an error occured when FG was not able to find said reference in the module. When trying to check the theme manually, it created an empty read-only record in the module.
The theme did not work until i manually updated the db.xml with reference.theme.roboticist@Starfinder Pact Worlds (Players), so even if the split may have occured in April 2018, the main module must've had a full list of content and not just this:
Attachment 49086

Else, the character sheet could not have been created in the way it was, and the console would've displayed errors with each level-up.

Can you provide me a copy of your campaign please? It will help in looking over the issue.

Sure thing, maybe you can spot something I've missed.
I'll send a link to an online backup of the campaign from last month in a PM, since I don't want it lying around

Appreciate it, its sometimes best to see a campaign's data to best fix the issue. It might also be a good idea to keep this copy in case my fix help this campaign
