Polymorphism Extension (.ext file) [Fantasy Grounds Unity 5E ruleset]
Only in Forge.
Polymorphism Extension (Fantasy Grounds Unity)
This stand-alone extension for Fantasy Grounds allows you to manage polymorphing effects right on your character sheet! Adding new forms you can change into is as simple as dragging and dropping an NPC sheet onto your character sheet and clicking the "Active" button. No additional modules are required —simply add this extension to Fantasy Grounds, and you are set!
The 5E Druid Wild Shapes Quick Reference Guide can be used to provide real tokens(NPCs) instead of some of the default WOTC letters.
NOTE: Things keep changing so read the versions and the .txt files for details - its too long to place on page 1.
This extension unlocks the following functions:
- Easily manage polymorph, true polymorph, animals shapes, shapechange, NPC shapechanger, and wild shape all from your character sheet with the click of a button
- When activated, a new character sheet is opened automatically with your new shape's features & abilities
- The combat tracker updates in real-time with your new form and statistics
- Damage is carried back to your true form (as per RAW), and you revert to your true form automatically
Additional perks included in this extension:
- Concentration effects are properly coded: casting a polymorphism supported concentration spell ends a previous concentration spell (and ends its effects)
- NPC Inventories are customizable when using our Map Parcel extension
If PC is already polymorphed to an NPC and you exit FGU, when you come back up in FGU and choose the PC you will have your character sheet instead of the active polymorph NPC sheet. Either double click on its map token, click on the its CT link, or double click on the sheet's polymorph window token image of the NPC to get the NPC sheet back up. You close the original sheet brought up by the login at any time. This is usually realized when a player thinks their Active button is missing (its really not the active polymorphed NPC sheet is why).
The Stop Concentration button and pulldown lists can lose synch and not display correctly sometimes, just switch between tabs and it will get back in synch.
Sometimes the Polymorphism window will appear with all the choices blank - just hit active button again as it has gotten out of synch.
Conflict:
If you use BCEG (Better Combat Effects Gold) you have to have Restrict Concentration option set to "off".
Updates:
[See .txt file for early updates and features]
V1.40 - Fix - saving throws and skills in polymorphed sheet now reflect the rules for wild shape per RAW.
V1.41 - Update - added support for TokenHeight so that when you polymorph you keep the token height assigned through transitions.
V1.42 - Bug - chat message warning about a non existent polymorph list NPC every time a sheet was brought up (PC or NPC). Fixed.
V1.43 - Bug - exceeded hit points was not being checked against temp hp if any were present. Fixed.
V1.44 - Update - added support for NPC spell checks for polymorphism to also look in innatespells (Polymorph, True Polymorph, etc.). Per FGU NPC parsing rules if these things are in "spells" you have to have a "Spellcasting" trait defined in order for it to parse saving throw data (example: "...spellcasting ability is intelligence..." - other stuff you'll have to look in their code). Per FGU NPC parsing rules if these things are in "innatespells" you have to have an "Innate Spellcasting" trait defined - with same parsing rules as spells. Don't ask me about those spellcasting parsing text as I had to look it up in code just to get the minimum stuff to make it work defined - you're on your own there. Though module stuff from FGU should have all that stuff defined in NPCs correctly. Bleh.
V1.45 - Bug - a past FGU update of code changed one of things I was overriding which I never noticed - may have made some other extensions conflict which should not have. Fixed to reflect current FGU code.
V1.46 - Update - new "polymorphism_current_npc" added to PC charsheet if it was source of polymorphism. This is needed by other extension who may have the charsheet but not the new NPC CT entry it is currently referenced by (combat groups in particular).
V1.47 - Update - implemented node and childList changes to code that SW wanted.
V1.48 - Update - supported vehicle class as much as possible in the same manner as npc class.
V1.49 - Bug - fix in for display/removal of client polymorph PC/NPC windows and running a local client would have ownership detection issues - changed check to be with Session.UserName instead of User.getUserName() so the correct login user would be returned for comparison with owner when the client is running on same machine as host.
V1.50 - Update - V1.50 - Update - now prevent init from being changed in CT when an NPC is a polymorphed one.
V1.51 - Bug - Original CT Reach and Space values were never being stored in polymorph. Resulted in them being lost when converted back to original. Fixed.
V1.52 - Feature - now cleanName of any spell/action/trait before comparing to hardcoded supported spell/powers so that it can support things with garbage text after keyword. Will strip out anything after and including "(", "*", or "-".
V1.53 - Bug - FGU underlying execution somehow shifted so that my end turn override didn't get applied anymore. Fixed.
V1.54 - Bug - Evidently the LIGHT effects that are transferred in Polymorphism never actually get triggered. Fixed - will call TokenManager.updateEffects after a new CT entry has been updated by poly. As DM this may create light where there was non before. For example, a torch effect is directly transferred to the NPC and back to the PC. If you don't want it on the NPC you'll have to disable it. Kind of catch 22 with no easy way to solve - but better the effect is doing what its supposed to than sitting there not doing anything until the effect line is updated, something is triggered to update all effects of CT entry, or session is restarted - as has been happening since day 1 of FGU lighting.
V1.55 - Bug/FGU change - basically as in 1.54 more than just light helpers must be triggered so having to update all attributes of token and then auto scale it also in order for all things to be placed correctly when recreating a PC/NPC programatically. No interest in figuring out why of this - just going to call the stuff that will update this sort of thing.
V1.56 - Update - using local client confuses User.getIdentityOwner(sIdentity) calls so have to check for nil and then use sIdentity.sUser in order for it to get the local machine name (user). Only relevant if your using a local client like I do for testing. Will be part of next delivery version as this is just for me.
V1.57 - FGU update - redesign to support working with FGU update.

Extensions = RISK: This note is added to all the extensions I maintain. I want users to understand that extensions are code that is added to or overrides portions of code in the Fantasy Grounds Unity (FGU) application. When the underlying code in FGU changes it can break an extension. When you run with other extensions they can conflict by trying to overwrite the same parts of the FGU code. I will keep my extensions working with FGU changes, and the extensions I use (listed in my FGU signature) as I have direct control over those things. I cannot make the same promise with other extensions. If I am notified of an incompatibility I will attempt to resolve it - but if I cannot I will list what the known extension incompatibilities are. Understand before you get any extensions that it comes with RISK. Not just my extensions - any extension. These extensions are also maintained by me for me. I provide them outside of my own games purely to those who wish to take advantages of things I use for myself.
Included is original text used for describing this extension - has a lot of details but really provided for reference if needed. This also lists the caveats (things I noticed but cannot solve - notably stop concentration button timing issue not always updating - need to switch from action tab and back to it again to get it to be in proper state (shown/not shown)).
