MoreCore Ruleset

Thanks a lot! Gonna test it straight away.

On a side note a bug report:

Only MoreCore is active, no theme. Opening the groups tab and creating a new group works, but the console opens and spits out the following script errors:

Code:

---

[4/16/2021 2:27:07 PM] [ERROR]  Script execution error: [string "campaign/scripts/masterindex_window.lua"]:364: attempt to call field 'setRecordType' (a nil value)
[4/16/2021 2:27:07 PM] [ERROR]  Script execution error: [string "campaign/scripts/masterindex_list.lua"]:39: attempt to index field 'idelete' (a nil value)

---

groups and places are deprecated.
they are still there to allow people to migrate their data
use World Builder instead - it replaces groups and locations, is more powerful, has more fields and, well, it works and the others no longer do!

Oh good to know. Thanks for the heads up!

The Wide Ps Extension also works like a charm.

Edit:

Sorry to bother you again, but are these errors MoreCore related? Should I worry about them? These started happening while creating an linking abilities.

Code:

Another question came up:

When using /exalted or /exalteddmg every modifier that is added counts as a die. And that is absolutely great, most of Exalted works this way. But there are also effects that add 1 automatic success to the result of the roll. Would it be possible to automate this?

Also would it be possible to sort the rolled rice from high to low?

The Roll would need to be rewritten to account for that.
Can you explain how/why/when these advantages would occur and can you upload a current char sheet so I can have a think about it

Sure I can. How would I upload a sheet, what files would you need? Here is my "dev" module that I currently try to make into some kind of database for all my future Ex3 campaigns: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v36grt7wgg...plate.mod?dl=0
I hope dropbox is fine. I marked it as a player module so I hope you are able to load it. I'm still new to the technicalities of FG.
We are still very much in the tweaking phase, figuring out where everything should be going, so it may not be very helpful.


Concerning how/when/why... This is tricky.
The base system is Attribute (value from 1-5) + Ability (value from 0-5) = dice pool in d10 with 7 or higher as a success. 10s count as two successes.

Now every player has a Willpower stat that is somewhere between 0 and 10. A player can spent a point of Willpower to have 1 automatic success on his roll. The player can only ever spent 1 point of willpower on a single roll.

Every player has access to a mechanic called "Stunts". Stunts have 3 levels, 1 to 3. A 1 point stunt is a short but cool description of the action the player undertakes and rewards the player with 2 bonus dice. A 2 point stunt is the coolest thing that will happen that session and it rewards 2 bonus dice, 1 automatic success and 1 willpower to the player. A 2 point stunt is the most badass thing that will probably happen in the whole chronic, rewarding 2 dice, 2 successes and 2 points of willpower. The storyteller judges if a description counts as a stunt.

Then there are merits. Every player can have certain merits that can award bonus dice/successes on very specific actions. Those work kinda like Feats in DnD.

That is how the base system works.


These systems get expanded on by Charms. Charms are the cool powers that the chosen of the gods can manifest. And they are the " mechanical meat" of the game. Every splat (there are 3 different kinds of Exalted currently published) has it's own charm set. These charms can have a variety of mechanical and narrative effects. They are also way too many of them (we still love them nonetheless). The Solar splat alone has around 700 hundred charms in the core book alone. As such I can't possibly tell you everything that they do, but common mechanics are:

• Adding either a fixed or variable amount of automatic successes (add 2 automatic successes to your roll or add [Level / Attribute / Ability / Etc.] automatic successes to your roll)
• Adding additional bonus dice to a roll
• Re-rolling certain numbers on a roll (common numbers are 1s, 5s, 6s and 10s)
• Re-rolling certain numbers on a roll till they fail to appear
• Re-rolling non-successes a certain amount of time
• Adjust the target number from 7 to 6/5/4
• Not only 10s but also 9s/8s/7s count as double successes

And any combination of these. Currently each of my players has around 30 to 40 charms. (I'm so glad the ability tab in your MoreCore sheet is as spacious as it is. We have added the Charms as a module so character building is simply dragging and dropping and clicking to show the description of what the charm does.)

To use these charms the players need to spent their "mana" (called essence or motes in Exalted) and/or willpower.

I hope this information helps.


We played on Roll20 before and did most of these manually. The one thing that helped a lot though was the sorting of the dice. Having all the numbers grouped together made the "Re-Roll every die that shows a X!" a lot faster. So if I would request anything to be added that would be it.

Edit: I don't think this is relevant, but just to be sure. Charms have types. They can either be Permanent, Simple, Reflexive or Supplemental.
Permanent: No activation. They are just there, doing their things like permanently increasing health.
Simple: They take an action to activate. Some charms generate attacks, some don't and are scene long buffs instead (like going into a supernatural martial arts stance that let's you control the elements). One can only activate a single simple charm in an action (in combat every character has a single action per turn) or instance.
Reflexive: These can basically be activated whenever. Some have some specific rules for that in their text.
Supplemental: These don't generate actions (like simple charms and sometimes reflexive charms) but they support any given action. Any number of supplemental charms can be used to support an action.

Ok Ive uploaded a new build of MoreCore

Main changes:
Rolls now have a consumable option - for use with things like potions, wands etc. If you set an item to be consumable you can then set the maximum uses, available uses and optionally a recharge value in dice string format (valid examples: 1d6, 2d4+2, 3) and clicking the recharge button will calculate recharges and apply. Usage and recharge are all output to chat.
New /exaltedx (p1)d10x(p2) where (p2) value will apply as automatic successes
Removed Locations and Organisations (these have been superseded by World Builder quite some time ago)
Added some baseline support for Item category views in export modules.

There is probably other stuff that Ive forgotten...

Thank you very much!

I just tested the roll and it works like a charm.

Also

is probably very useful for us. Exalted normally doesn't have consumables but certain charms can only be used once per scene/battle. And some of them have a reset condition so the player can use them again if certain conditions have been met. This will probably make tracking a lot easier.

And again thank you very much for your work and time!

Hi Arrix we probably need a /exalteddmgx roll too at some point...

I think on the recharge thing I should probably add support for "half" and "full" too.
If recharge proves to be useful I will probably have to look at a way to trigger it to run on all Rolls, either per character or maybe via the Rest feature...

That would be quite awesome, yes. The good thing is that the effects that cause automatic successes are quite rare for damage rolls. Stunts/willpower only count for the attack roll but not the damge itself.
