System Changes

• Using a skill name as a tag for the "ASSET" and "EFFORT" effects now correctly applies an asset or level of effort.

With this, would the correct tags be ASSET: might, ASSET: Might, might ASSET, or some other way to list the effect?
Thanks for everything!

The correct format for the ASSET effect, and almost all other effects, is "[effect]: [number] [tags]". For your example it would be "ASSET: 1 might". Casing shouldn't matter, so either "MIGHT", "Might" and "might" will work.

Instead of using a stat like might, you could also put in a skill name there. So "ASSET: 1 Stealth" would grant an asset to stealth skill checks. Again casing doesn't matter, but the skill does need to be spelled exactly the same as the skill on the character sheet.

I should also add that if you're unsure of how to format an effect, I created a plugin for the Effect Builder extension that will do most of the work for you. Relevant links on the effects thread: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...System-Effects

To better support y'all I've made an actual wiki site that documents most, if not all, of the features I've added to the ruleset. I'll be keeping that site more up to date my posts here, as it's easier to update and track changes on the wiki. If you find any errors or gaps in the wiki let me know and I'll get it sorted.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I've published a separate wiki for all of the info about how to use the ruleset. If you're not sure how something works, the wiki probably explains it (and if it doesn't, let me know and I'll add it). Many windows have had help links added to them that links to the relevant page on the wiki.
