I am working on a few bug fixes for the next update. You will also see some minor changes to the desktop icons from a CoreRPG update. I am going to save some of the feature updates for March (after Spawn of Cyclops Con).

I also noticed the “0” damage is back? I didn’t test it thoroughly I just saw it several times in a game.
That’s weird - I’ll fix that.Quote:

Minimum damage works for me when I make a basic roll from the character sheet. I double-checked the code, and everything looks correct there, too.
Here are a few things I'm planning for the next update:
- Show ability scores in combat tracker entry.
- Change visibility of NPC record fields for type 'trap' or 'hazard' - for example, hide ability scores.
- Add race field to Notes tab (before gender) and auto-populate on occupation drop.
- When backstab skill updates, adjust relevant weapon attack modifier.
I've been thinking about the backstab skill and weapons on the Actions tab. Currently, backstab entries are created in the weapons list if the item does additional damage for backstab. I was thinking that the additional entry should happen for every weapon if the character has the backstab skill. I was also thinking that the crit die should auto-roll when you hit with a backstab attack, which could be determined by the weapon name including the word backstab. I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on improving backstab features... Are the additional backstab entries useful, or are they cluttering up your weapons list? How are people handling backstab attacks in their games?

It was a 0-level character, on the combat tracker with an enemy targeted.
IMHO, the additional backstab entries are useful for the "thief" weapons which give additional damage. I don't think I would want them for every weapon, but it's no big deal if they were added, as they are easily created/deleted if one of my players does or doesn't want them. Since the thief weapons give additional damage on a backstab having them show up on the Actions Tab is a good reminder to thieves to use them. So I like them showing up for the sake of new players and/or new thieves. Making backstabs auto-roll crits would be very nice as well, for the same reasons. Since thieves usually don't have much in regards to spells or other powers I don't find the Backstab additions to be cluttering.Quote:

Running on the Test channel? I will try it with targeting and see what happens. Thanks TQuote:

I wonder if there’s a place for a backstab button in the same row as the crit/fumble/deed buttons. It wouldn’t be a roll button - more like the modifier buttons (on higher ground, firing into melee, etc.) but on the char sheet. You would still need the second entry for backstab damage, but the skill bonus and auto-crit would be triggered by the button.
No that's on Live. I'm sorry did that fix not go Live yet? I think I'm getting lost on what's gone live and what's on Test. :confused:Quote:
