    Question for you, Trenloe. I'm getting pretty far in this conversion but your post got me curious. How do you think I could best streamline points calculations? Are you thinking the attributes in particular? Best I can think of right now is a linked excel sheet where I can make the calculations easier. I've thought about using the character sheets within FG so that I could put the three dice in for the attributes but my brain isn't finding an easy way to automate the calculations within FG. If you have specific recommendations I'm all ears. Trying to get to an initial beta of this to roll out soon but am curious as to what you were thinking when you commented. Thanks!

    It really depends how far you want to go. In an ideal world, the bonuses for each race, class, backstory and alignment would be stored somewhere - probably in a LUA table like the gamesystem info is, so this could be accessed easily via LUA scripting. Then that could be used to calculate the current points total, on the fly as each dice is added to or rearranged in the attributes section, or the alignment is shifted or armor/trait cards are added. I don't know how far you intend to take this and how much of this information would be available.

    Ok. Now I'm following you. If I had the first idea at all of how to code anything in any language I might go down that road. However, given I have limited time outside of work and don't know a thing about coding, I think I'll just need to go down the route I have been. I still might try the excel sheet idea to help automate the calculations. Thanks, Trenloe.

    I'm interested in using this extension, but I'm having trouble finding the link in the opening post. Sorry if I'm just blind...

    Using this now with MoreCore for version 3.3.10 and seems to be working fine.

    Thanks for this smart extension. I'll be turning to games that use card mechanics so this will come in handy. (Arguably card support should be a core feature of FG.)
