SWADE August 2025 Changes

[rigerco]

I created a Saved Battle with tokens in positions for an ambush. Those who were prone or behind cover were pre-set with those effects. Saved it. Cleared tokens from map and then Opened Saved Battles. Clicked the crossed swords for my battle and it put everyone on the map where I wanted as well as their effects. I then moved tokens around and put new effects on the NPCs, as if a few turns of a fight had taken place. I then saved it as a new battle. Cleared everything. Loaded the new battle and viola, everything was in its new position with current effects. That's the same way the old 4C extension worked. So for me, I'm very happy with this option.

Now if they can just figure out what broke all the books and get those fixed!

Saved battles doesn't currently save PCs.

Nice!

I tested out the new option to save PCs - works nicely. I happened to have two an old encounter in there when I mixed in a new on. I liked that it tracks which map tokens are on (it always did this in the CT, just neat you could save it out that way in case you had an encounter that might span two maps).
