Thanks. Take as much time as you need. This is not really an urgent matter for me.

Thank you. I've been working on tracking it down for my new release, but I'm going to get the new release out in a moment because there's some important stuff in there. I'll get back to this shortly. I'm real curious about what's causing it. It's easily reproducible, but it doesn't affect anything outside of throwing up an error message (which is still no fun). I'll get back with you.

New version available for update, 2024.06.11

Backing fixes for use with AD&D Options and House Rules
Fix encumbrance management related to changes in CoreRPG
Change "charged" effect behavior: It's now called "Charging", you apply it before the attack, it adds a "Charging" effect and a "No Dexterity" effect. Both of these effects are removed automatically when initiative passes to another creature

Next up: Fixing error when PC reaches -10 HP if that option is set, more effects changes I've been working on, changes to movement rates that have been inherited and don't exist in 1E/OSRIC, other stuff

I'm getting the following error message when a player character (in this example, Barnabul) reaches -10 HP (At Death's Door):



New (test) campaign with FGU v4.5.8 ULTIMATE (2024-06-05).

This should fixed with the release in the forthcoming post. Thank you.

Hi,

I'm noticing that dwarf/gnome/halfling movement for encumbrance is rated as 90/70/50/30, I'm aware of this variant (but I've never seen it at a table FWIW) but the BTB OSRIC version is 90/60/30/30 as per p123:



TBH I always played 90/60/30/10 so I doubt there is any real consensus on this and 1ed is ruthlessly silent on the matter, referring us to the MM where dwarves are listed as 60 in armour but some insist its the flat rate (guess that argument won for 2e LOL)

I can live with the 90/70/50/30 which might be 1ed by intent (who knows) but it isn't BTB OSRIC. Is it possible to have them as togglable options?

I made these modifications and they appear to be working. Thanks.
