Two questions:
- Why are ":1" effects not applied with a round time of 1 (instead of 0)?
- Is it correct that effect (round) timers are not decreased when time changes happen to the general/calendar clock, but only when short/long rest is applied?

Because most conditions that have a value don't specifically last one round - the value is not a duration. Drained, Enfeebled, Sickened, Slowed to name but a few. The only one that reduces once a round is Frightened, and this is at the end of the turn, which FG doesn't currently support, but the next release will and Frightened is specifically coded in that release (v16).Quote:

I was planning on catering for that in afflictions. Have you seen anything like that outside of an affliction stage?Quote:

I should have checked the other effects to see if their value corresponds to a duration like Frightened. Stunned is another contender that can have a clear duration. Drained could use some special rules like Frightened, because it very clearly ends after a long rest.Quote:

Yes, Dirge of Doom bard spell. It applies a Frightened:1 that can't be removed for 1 round. I would say that if the Frightened condition has a duration, use that. If not, reduce it as normal automatically at the end of each turn.Quote:

Just another one of those cases where a hard fast rule can be applied. But, yes, I see the need for frightened having a duration that would override the default of reducing the value by one at the end of the frightened creature's turn.Quote:

Ahoi. Two more questions:
- Are there any plans to automate ammunition, like marking 1 ammo used when the corresponding damage is rolled?
- Are the Wounded and Dying effects/conditions used for any kind of automation yet? They don't seem to get applied when someone hits 0 HP and I don't know if applying the effect manually has any consequence other than information?!
Thanks in advance! ;)
It would be nice if links could be dropped on the "Notes" section of a character sheet. This way players can save links to reference content as char specific notes, like a reference to the Religion chapter of the CRB for divine chars.
Perhaps. And if it was done it would probably be for each attack roll, not for each damage roll. Because, according to the PF2 errata, using ammunition destroys it.Quote:
