4E Ruleset v2.0 Coming to Test

I am in the process of figuring out what all I can do with the fancy new effects. Quite a few things are still unclear to me and maybe a wiki page with examples dedicated to this might be a good idea when it's released :)

Here is one thing I was wondering about:

The dragon soul feature that a dragon magic sorcerer has lets a power ignore a certain amount of resistance.

"Your arcane powers ignore any target's resistance to that damage type up to the value of your resistance."

Is there any way to do this using the new effects? I tried giving the target both a RESIST: 5 cold and a RESIST: -5 cold but they don't seem to cancel each other out.

Also I saw the RCHG effect in a screenshot on your blog, but it's not noted in the release notes. It could be that it was already in though :)

There is no capability to bypass or negate resistance with the new effects system. My primary focus was on PHB and MM power effects, and that type of effect was very rarely used.

The RCHG effect was already in the v1.5.1 version of the ruleset.

Minor update. Plan to release this weekend, if no major issues arise.

• The viewport (position and zoom) of images will now be remembered between sessions.
• If disease information is missing in a library module, then "+0 vs. -" will now be shown instead of a blank attack.
• Item powers were being added to Daily power list, instead of Item power list. Fixed.

If you're saving map information...it'd be great if remembered that I locked the tokens between sessions.

You're never satisfied, are you Tenian? ;)

Remind me again which one of us decided to rewrite the entire targeting system before releasing 2.0? :)

Staaaaay on target!

Hello FG community,

Have recently update FGII to v 2.6.4, because I wanted to try out the new 4E ruleset, thanks to the genial Moon_wizard.
When I want to start a new campaign with the new 4E ruleset, i get the could not load included file reference.xlm error. Is there a way to fix this ?

Emilio,

It sounds like you are missing files in your installation.

What version of Fantasy Grounds are you using?
How did you install the 4E ruleset?

Thanks,
JPG

I plan to release the updates to the Live version shortly.
