DOE: Locations Extension

Feature Request: Stocking NPCs in Shop Inventory

Smacks of slavery? Bear with me.

Some 5E scenarios allow players to purchase beasts of burden or mounts that do not appear in the PHB (e.g. in Tomb of Annihilation, players can purchase dinosaur steeds). It would be useful occasionally to be able to drag creatures from the NPC lists directly to a vendor, and add a price - at the moment there is a work-around if you set up a new item and link it to the relevant creature.

A great extension all round. I scanned a few pages deep in the thread and didn't see this request - apologies if I overlooked anything similar.

I made an animal seller. All I did was make a new Item entry with the name of the animal and how much it costs. If a character wants to purchase one then jut bring up the NPC sheet for them to use/look at. Or you can link the NPC in the item description.

Great idea - I did the same - I created duplicates of all the steeds for sale as Items, and dragged the relevant NPC stat block to each one.

Pet shops is something on my to-do list - that'll allow for all sorts of NPCS: Slaves, Pets, Mounts, beasts of burden, etc.

In the meantime the work-around you've mentioned is probably the easiest way to do things - for now

Pet shops...

Haha. Amazing to see the huge efforts going into the extension. My heartfelt thanks!

I'm playing in 5e.

Edit for more information:
I'm making multiple location entries for various areas of an airship. The portal entries are for the multiple stairs / ladders on the ship. When I try to drag a location entry to be the parent entry of a portal, it looks like it applies to the portal, and I can even "lock" the portal entry. The portal will correctly show up in the location entry under the portal tab as well. But when I re-open the portal entry, the relationship seems to self-clear. The portal entry disappears from the location, and the parent link disappears in the portal entry.

Thanks for looking into it!

Hi

Your extension is great and I use the actual version for 3.5e But I have the same problem as in the quote When it is already solved then I am sorry that I didn't find the solution. The thread is rather big

Hey just wondering if you've found a solution to the 'gp' =/= 'GP' issue yet? It pretty much makes the shops unusable because the party sheet distributes coins as uppercase currency (even if you set the campaign currency as lowercase abbreviations). So in order to use the shops you need to reset the currency in the treasure tab on the character sheet back to lowercase (so the shops will recognize it) every time you get treasure from the party sheet.

Also the decimal rounding on item prices in shop inventories is pretty unsightly (i.e. a weight of 0.2 will read in the shop as 0.2000000098023 lb)

The gp =/= GP issue is actually symptomatic of a larger issue relating to currency conversion. Yes, we all know that 1gp is the same as 1GP, but to a computer they are as different as $1 being the same/different as 1gp.

I am working (slowly) on a new Extension (called the DOE: WMC - Weights, Measurements & Currencies) that will solve this issue and thus all the issues around currency-conversion, giving change, etc - but I kept getting dragged off onto other things that other people want done "now".

The rounding issue is also being worked on - its an issue with the way computers store fractional numbers, and thus integral to the FG Engine. Still, we'll see what we can do.

TL;DR: its coming, but people are just going to have to be patient - I'm only one guy and there's only 24 hours in a day (and, for the record, my health isn't 100% at the moment - my issue, but it effects my productivity ).

Oh, get well soon. I wish you a good recover
