    I might also note.. wow, you got your work cut out.. lol.. you'll be well loved when you get this thing ready next year when the rules are finalized. We had a character that could inflict Stupefied with a strike. That's a messy one in the current iteration. Penalties to Spells, Spell DCs along with the stat reductions. That was messy to deal with on the fly as it didn't degrade always by one level per round (stupefied 2 to 1), while other times it did. Good luck!

    Thanks. Nice to know it's working well.

    3) Players couldn't clear a locked target (ctrl clicked) if it was removed from the map, even using the map clear targets feature.
    1) I haven't done anything with effects yet, nor ability damage. So the code is still from PF1, which needs 2 points of ability damage to change the modifier.
    2) Thanks for the reminder. I'll add spells to the create PC button.
    3) I assume the NPC was still on the combat tracker? If so, that is standard FG functionality. You can CTRL+click in the CT to target/untarget, and also the GM can clear the target through the targeting icons in the CT. Once the creature is removed from the CT the targeting will also be removed.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks! I think...

    Yeah, I think there are going to be a few things that will just have to be handled manually. I'd like to automate a lot of the laborious tracking, but if the rules are diverse or not repeatable then it's going to offer little reward/return on super complex coding that would probably need updating with future classes/feats/supplements...

    Especially with how in flux the playtest rules are as it is.

    But... you should be able to enter the critters yourself. The main gotcha is to include () in an attack string if there aren't any traits for the attack. Otherwise it's pretty much copy/ paste. See the current NPCs as examples.

    The main thing missing at this point is NPC spells.
    Yes, I was able to manually create all the 2nd module NPCs.

    Other observations: Must remember to insert ", or" between multiple attack options. Watch out for sequence issues, eg Zakfah has "scimitar (forceful, sweep) +11," instead of "scimitar +11 (forceful, sweep)". None of the Bestiary 2ed entries have size specified eg 5/5, you have to derive the size entry from the the creature traits, eg "Chaotic Evil Gnoll Humanoid Medium" for Zakfah.

    Nice one.

    Just use "or" not ", or".

    Yeah, Paizo not sticking to their own standard doesn't help. Is this the only one you've seen?

    In a later release of the ruleset the size will be parsed out of the traits entry. Until then I left the space/reach fields in the NPC record to allow a size, other than the default of 5 feet, to be specified if needed.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Agreed, only need the "or". And the only attack format transgressions I have found so far have been in the module itself, the Gnoll entries are both wrong, the Bestiary seems OK.

    One minor point, when entering 0 as a Str/Con/Dex etc the 0 is not displayed, just a blank.

    Thanks for that. I'm working with the NPC (and Hazard) sheet right now. I've updated to display 0.
