The Dance of Dreams mystery is missing the main NPC, Oscar Hjort, described on page 209 of main rulebook. According to the description, several abilities are defined as per page 119 of the rulebook. Since the PCs confront this opponent in combat, this NPC's information should be in FG as an NPC record.
Hi all,
Quick report on what is going to be pushed shortly:
- Missing/Incorrect entries for NPCs in modules reported will be fixed
- Capital will be added to the PC Sheet
The parry enhancements from the combat tracker will take some time.
In addition - Attributes/Skills fields on NPC sheets are not designed for drag & drop, but copy and paste as we are parsing the content.
Typo: the module name of A Wicked Secret appears as A Wicket Secret throughout the module content
Hi!
I just found a couple of missing links. In the Dance of Dreams section both the link to Oscar Hjort and the link to the The Crypt in The Aftermath are pointing to empty images.
OK folks, all reported issues and enhancements requested so far are implemented.
no problem on parry
unarmed attacks work fine now - thanks!
Thanks for the fixes earlier this year.
I was checking out the combat tracker, and I'm seeing a few issues I believe. Had a couple of questions too.
1) Vaesen can not parry
When there's pending damage going to a Vaesen, and I select Block from the attack resolution, FG doesn't roll for the Vaesen. It always says it
s a failure. It should be rolling their Body Control according to the rules.
Also, what do the Block (U) and Block (M) stand for?
Is the plan to have both of these on the character sheets too?
2) Stress Foe throws an error when stressing an animal
The other way around seems to work fine (animal can stress PC)
Don't call PETA on me (-:
3) Blocks seem to be ignored by attack resolution.
If an actor has a single success, and that is blocked, the damage can still be applied. Is the gm just supposed to cancel the attack resolution in that case? Does the automation use blocks at all?
thanks!
Block (U) and Block (M) were recently introduced and is used to Block via Force (Unarmed) or Close Combat (Melee). Originally we had block via Close Combat only.
Animal does not have mental toughness according to their stat blocks, just physical toughness according to my interpretation from the block on p.168.
Vaesens are not fully automated, this part probably is manually handled, but I have to check the code next week and see what is implemented and what not. Stay tuned.
Thanks for the info Valyar.
For Block U/M can we get Block M on the character sheets? More fun if the players roll it themselves I'd think.
I was thinking Animals were more like Vaesen, where their one stat combined mental and physical toughness (but I could be wrong here.) I could see PCs yelling at an animal trying to shoo it away.
Cool am curious on the blocks.
take care
I'm seeing a bug on the Actions on the character sheets during combat....
Drop Item, Push/Reposition & Knock Down/Pin
...all give me runtime errors when selected..
ERROR: Invalid stuntType <stuntname> for skill nil.
I'll attach examples.

Thanks Simon. I'm hearing good feedback from players on the FG implementation of Vaesen.
I noticed a couple of more things....
A - Defects/Insights always active
When you give a player a Defect or Insight on the character sheet, its always active and adjusts die rolls. Since they should only fire once per session, I was hoping the check-boxes below would toggle them off, but the check-boxes don't seem to do anything.
B - Can not adjust success
When I adjust a combat roll on the dice tray, and then drag it onto the combat tracker, it throws a runtime error (attached). I thought it would adjust the number of successes.
C - NPC vs PC conditions
I think character's PC/MC score are showing one value too high on the combat tracker. Also it'd help if the tracker showed zeros for PC/MC.
Here's my reasoning. Let's say a NPC has a physical toughness of 1. They can take one point of physical damage and not be broken but two points breaks them. The combat tracker is confusing, because after a point of damage, it show a PC of 'blank' even though the NPC isn't broken. Also showing zero instead of blank would be more clear think. (-1 showing broken would be ideal.)
For player characters, the combat tracker shows a PC/MC of 4, but they become broken on the 4th point of damage. To stay consistent with NPCs, I'd think it'd make more sense to show that they have 3 PC and MC when uninjured.
D - Generate on story templates
Definitely not a bug, but wanted to check, would it be possible to change the Generate button on story templates so it could be dragged to a hotkey?
Thanks!
Hi
I found an additional bug..
NPCs that have taken damage are not getting penalties on their skill rolls.
In the attached example, Jensine has taken 2 physical damage (she started with 4 physical toughness and is down to 2). On her attack roll she got her full 12, instead of 12-2 dice.
thanks
getting an error trying to upload the image but easy to reproduce. Just damage an npc and have them make any skill roll.

The intention is to have some other way to apply temporary or permanent effect than keeping PCs in the Combat Tracker all the time.
if you don't wane Insight/Defect to be applied all the time, but the player to know what the MOD is, just remove the [] and it won't be parsed.
It is not checkbox because then players cannot come up with custom conditions and etc. or make notes as they want. In the first release it was just text field as note, but it was later enhanced based on customer requests to support automation.
On B
I am not sure what you mean, could you explain what you do step by step? I don't think adjustments in chat and then drag to CT are supported at all.
On C
The CT shows the max condition you can have before being out of commission. :) If we show 3 instead of 4, when you deplete the 3 you will report 0, and some might think the character is broken, while they can still operate. I prefer to have the broken also part of the calculation, which is aligned with the way NPCs are displayed.
On D
This is enhancement that should be done in the CoreRPG ruleset, not ours.
It is not strictly speaking a bug, but not implemented automation due to the fact that NPCs/Animals are mostly having 1 physical or mental toughness and the framework to track this in CT was lower on priorities compared to the Vaesen category framework (because NPC cards should not be used to track stats, this is what combat tracker is for). It is somewhere in the backlog and if there are more Vaesen products coming up in future (or sufficient time for this) we might look in that. The global desktop modifiers should serve this well.Quote:

Hello,
I think there is a problem with Vaesen's sheet, there is no "Identified":
Attachment 60162
Thanks
The Vaesen developers specifically disabled NPC identification in their implementation; so that's by design as far as I'm aware. Valyar and Simpe did the development on the Free League product DLC.

Ok, thanks.
I guess what I'm asking is a breakdown of how the combat tracker works with the PC having successes with their parry roll.
I am experiencing an issue with the Apply button in the combat tracker Attack Resolution section. The log says "bad argument #3 to 'format' (number expected, got nil)". Logs attached.
When reporting, please provide more information on the steps are you are taking for us to replicate the issue. I placed a check there to make it a value in case it does come up nil. The fix was pushed a hotfix.
Thanks for your attention. In the combat tracker, I roll an attack against a player character (I don't think the target kind is important). I then open the Attack Resolution of the target and attempt to apply the damage using the Apply button. Since the hot fix, it now reports a new error when calling addShortcut in managerActions.lua line 251 (logs attached).
Thank you. I was able to zero in on the issue for that button. Pushed another hotfix for the combat tracker issue
Thank you. Can confirm that it is now working for me with the latest patch.
I was exploring the headquarters feature and found that I can't add any upgrades (Facilities, Personnel etc.) to a headquarters record. I don't know if this is a bug or just something unfinished. The XML in the rule set looks plausible to my untrained eye.
In summary I opened the headquarters form, added a headquarters and then tried to use the + buttons and dragging upgrades into the four regions with no result (nothing in the log). Maybe I'm doing something wrong. It is simple enough to use a story record to store this info.
Attachment 64147
Pushed another hotfix for this issue.
Great -- dragging now works for me in the headquarters. The green + buttons are a bit weird -- like the hotspot is not aligned with the button properly - you seem to have to click them near the bottom, but now I know that's fine. Certainly not showstopper.
Thanks again. Hopefully I'm done now :)
Unfortunately, I found another issue. When using the character creation wizard, Characters->PC Builder->Equipment (see attached image), the Pre-Defined equipment slots are not displayed.
Attachment 64192
The changes we've made recently didn't touch that area of the ruleset. I will take a look and see what is the issue, but it may take some time to tackle it.
Just pushed a hot fix for this issue. Please run a new Check for Updates.

JPG

Character creation wizard appears to be broken.
1) I can select an archetype on the first screen, but on screen 2 (attributes) there seems to be no way of selecting the character's age, which means you can't allocate attributes or skills which prevents you going any further.
The arrows for increasing and decreasing attributes work, but since you have no points remaining it warns you in the chat
"PC BUILDER: No more attribute points available for allocation".
So I THINK this is probably just that whatever code is attached to the young / middle-aged / old choices is broken, which breaks the rest of the character generation process.
2) The Summary tab is also buggy - it looks "squashed" with all the attribute value boxes overlapping so you can's read any but the bottom one.
3) You also can't resize the window for the character creation wizard, although it has a drag handle.
It would be nice to get these fixed as I'm starting a new campaign next week :)
Cheers, Hywel
Update: it looks like there are invisible check boxes on the Attributes page; if you click to the left of the Young / Middle-Aged / Old text it sets the attributes, but doesn't show up. This is at least useable for character generation when you know what's happening but obviously should be fixed when possible.
Cheers, Hywel
I'm currently bogged down with another project, it may take some time to look this over.
Pushed fix to address missing check boxes.
Fantastic, that's fixed it, thanks!
Hywel
