Hey all. I just purchased the Player and GM core books for Fantasy Grounds. What modules should I have loaded in my campaign to run the remastered rulesets? Should I only load the full modules for Player and GM core, or should I load the full modules and the ORC modules? What's the best practice here to get the best experience with the new content?
Trenloe, are you guys gonna have an affiliate link for the books?
Will do fairly soon - when I do the release update thread...Quote:

Thanks for thinking of this! This is the generic one to use before ordering FG products: http://affiliates.fantasygrounds.com/316040/15958Quote:

When I load my PCore and GMCore, do I still load the Core Rulebook, Secrets of Magic, APG, etc? Or no.
Only if you want to use content from those products.Quote:

For example, there's 8 classes in the Player Core - if you want to play a monk, barbarian, sorcerer, champion, etc. you'll need to load the legacy Core Rules.
Okay. I just didn't know if having the Core book loaded would interfere.
Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out the differences between the full and ORC releases. Can you perhaps give an example of what, besides artwork, would be contained in the full release Player Core module, but not in the ORC module?
I don't know if this correct place to post this but the new Wizard arcane schools are unable to be chosen when creating a character. Only the old schools are available.
I'm trying to create a new character with the Player Core ORC module loaded, but I can't get the boosts that I select from the Tracker to register. Even after I've done all four steps – ancestry, background, class, free boosts – the main page of the character sheet still shows –5 for all attribute modifiers. Am I doing something wrong?
Oh, and when I click the add character icon in the character window, I get this error in the console, maybe there is a connection:
Script execution error: [string "PFRPG2:scripts/manager_pc_activities.lua"]:626: attempt to index local 'tCoreRulesModule' (a nil value)
I'm also seeing this issue on a freshly installed version of FGU (via steam, on macOS 14) in the remastered ruleset. On a fresh campaign under the PF2 Legacy ruleset it appears to work as intended. I have both the CRB, and Player Core (ORC) loaded. Same error message.
He talks about it in the video he posted in the comment right above yours. But generally, the ORC release should just have the rules, i.e. the items, the classes, the feats, etc. No images, no "fluff" text like you'll find in the book, and therefore no reference manual, I'm pretty sure.Quote:

Thank you, the video was helpful!
This should be fixed now. Please run and update. Sorry for the inconvenience.Quote:

That's fine and perfectly understandable. From what i've seen you are a volunteer, so I'm sure you have lots of other things on your plate :) Thank you for letting us know.Quote:

I ask because it's a very convenient way to handle the GMG's alternate ability score boost progression - the bonus can be noted there until the character reaches the next level divisible by 5, and then deleted at that point. It's convenient to handle it there rather than adjusting the ability scores directly with the mouse wheel because that will prevent the tracker from getting confused regarding the "partial boost" system.
It's there to provide backwards compatibility with players who may have used that field. As players can continue to use that field, it will stay. I won't (knowingly) remove functionality/access to data - unless I say "Don't use that, it'll be going away..."Quote:

(ORC vs purchased book)
also, a whole different point - is there any way the current pf2 ruleset could use as it's FG "skin" the new green/brown color scheme from the remaster rules instead of that relentless red-yellow/orange-on-brown from the original pf2 books? I would gratefully welcome the color change - and so would my eyes
Short answer, open one or the other - you'll just end up with duplication. For more details, see this video: https://youtu.be/WHdhzzz5DlAQuote:

I think the recovery checks under the dying rules in the Reference Manual are the same as in the Player's Guide instead of the new rules in the Player Core. This is how it should read:
Recovery Checks
While you’re dying, attempt a recovery check at the start
of each of your turns. This is a flat check with a DC
equal to 10 + your current dying value to see if you get
better or worse.
Critical Success Your dying value is reduced by 2.
Success Your dying value is reduced by 1.
Failure Your dying value increases by 1 (plus your wounded
value, if any).
Critical Failure Your dying value increases by 2 (plus your
wounded value, if any).
This is how it currently reads in the Reference Document:
Recovery Checks
When you’re dying, at the start of each of your turns, you
must attempt a flat check with a DC equal to 10 + your
current dying value to see if you get better or worse. This
is called a recovery check. The effects of this check are
as follows.
Critical Success Your dying value is reduced by 2.
Success Your dying value is reduced by 1.
Failure Your dying value increases by 1.
Critical Failure Your dying value increases by 2
Its a big difference that makes character death a lot more likely under the remaster. Personally, I love it but others will not.
The recovery checks were errata'd
Death & dying rules work the same.

Thank you for the support, we very much appreciate it.Quote:

I assume the same is true of positive damage.
As usual, I am on the test channel.
Thanks for the reminder. I'd deliberately left updating this side of things until we had a view of the Monster Core (for auto parsing of NPC resistances etc.) - which we have now, so it's time for me to start reviewing this; it'll need changes in a few places...Quote:

Thanks for reporting. This was recently reported and a fix is lined up for a future release.Quote:

The "<animal> (Companion)" items in the bestiary (e.g. Cat (Companion) and Wolf (Companion)) do not have properly parsing damage entries on the NPC sheets, so the player cannot call for damage with them.
For example, the bestiary entry for "Wolf" under melee shows "Damage 1d6+2 piercing plus Knockdown" which highlights blue when you hover over it and rolls a die when double clicked.
The bestiary entry for "Wolf (Companion") under melee shows "Damage 1d8 piercing". It does not highlight when you hover over it and does not roll a die when double clicked.
This is specific to the remaster Player Core data, so I've moved the post to the remaster thread. Thanks for raising the issue. We'll get the parsing fixed in a future release.Quote:
