Introducing the new XCore Ruleset

[claedawg]

Apologies, I thought you were using the PC's N1/AC for the target number.

Since XCore doesn't do roll under attacks, maybe make an effect for the target to apply a modifier to the character's N1 and then have the PC make the rollunder skill check. I think the Modifier Box at the bottom left of the screen will also modify the Stat being rolled when using rollunder.

I decided that we could just use the modifier field, but then I remembered why DQ is a young person's game. There's so many fiddley bits. Calculate 30% greater than the strike chance to see if the defender can parry. Calculate the critical %. Damage can go against multiple attributes. Coming out of a wargaming background, I loved it back then. I remembered that there were a lot of things that needed to be calculated with arcane formulas in advance and even more on the fly, but my memory had forgotten just how many there were... for everything! XCore just doesn't have enough oomph to do all that heavy lifting and I don't want to invest a whole ton of time on this. So, we'll have a very basic character sheet that will allow us to use the CT (which presents even more problems), tokens and maps.

I'm trying to get a shadowrun roll to work.

/roll 10d6es5

This works, but I want it to also keep track of failures, and not decrease successes.

/roll 10d6es5f1

This almost works, but the failures, decreases successes.

Both of these always have the e. Is there a way to have it only do the exploding if something is selected on the character sheet?

Is there a way to have it display successes and failures as separate totals?

** Edit: I realized after I posted this that these roll features are part of core RPG. So not sure who to talk to about this.

The Rolling Dice page shows the ability to do math before the d in the roll expression.
Their example is (3*2)d6 and it's supposed to roll 6d6.

Attribute: Agility, [a] = 5; [b] = 2
If I use ([Agility|a]+[Agility|b])d6 I get 0d6 and it rolls 1 die.
If I use ([a]+[b])d6 I get 0 + 2d6 rolled
If I do /roll (5+2)d6 in chat this does add the two numbers together and roll 7d6.
If I use [a]d6 it rolls 5d6.
If I use [a]d6+[b]d6 it puts in chat 5d6+2d6, and rolls 7 dice.

I'm thinking the ([a]+[b])d6 should be replacing the values of [a] and [b] in the above regardless if where they are so that the /roll gives (5+2)d6

More stuff:
So I have the following:
Attribute
Name: Agility
[a]: Base -- set to 5
[b]: Augment -- set to 2
[c]: Dicepool - roll: [c]:d6s5 - calc: [Agility|a]+[Agility|b] -- calcs to 7
For [c] I tried using [a]+[b] but it always gave me 0 as the result.

Skill:
Name: Pistols
[a]: Base -- set to 5
[b]: Augment -- set to 3
[c]: Attribute - calc: [Agility|c] -- this always calcs to 0; I tried using [a] and [b] with agility and got 0 with them as well. -- should be 7
[d]: Dicepool - calc: [Pistols|a]+[Pistols|b]+[Pistols|c] -- calcs to 8 -- should be 15 if [c] was calculating properly.

I noticed that if I modify a or b I end up with d not update to include the new value. I have to go into d and modify the text for either roll or calc for the value to update.
I also noticed that even though I have a value in calc in c and d I can still edit either of those textboxes. If I then edit the text in either calc or roll it puts the correct value back into the textbox.
I tried replacing [d] with [Pistols|a]+[Pistols|b]+[Agility|c] and it still displays 8. rolling with calc this way rolls 8 dice.

I then created an item.
Name: Ares Predator IV
[a]: Single Shot - roll: [Pistols|d]d6s5; calc: [Pistols|d] -- It's not displaying anything for the first entry of the item in the weapons section of the main tab.
If I put the above in [b]. The textbox shows up, but... The calc value is 0. When I double click the textbox for [b] it rolls 2 dice. I'm unsure where it is getting that value from.


Thanks

with the last few updates I am experiencing more a more quality of life issues. Most of them are bearable, but now I am unable to load a portrait into a character sheet, maybe there is a work around?

Also the small icons (see image) in bottom of Combat Tracker are now gone. the Icons you use to drop the entire party onto a battle map.

Hi, i am relatively new to this, i was searching the thread for an answer, but i also noticed some bugs to the rule set. Most seemed fixed, like the issues here, but i was wondering where the Tabletop Combat Icon to switch between the two views is. It seems to be specifically an Xcore problem, because the Core RPG Ruleset still has it.

It's not a bug, just not enabled by the ruleset. The ruleset developer would need to enable it and get it setup. The developer for this project has stepped away currently. I think this ruleset might be using an older version of the CoreRPG ruleset that might not have access to this feature as it's currently version locked.

Oh i see. My group and I really like the feature and AFAIR it was there not long ago.

Thank you for the Quick Reply.

Where can I find the source, or the Ruleset Wizard project? I might be able to do some work on an adhoc basis. I don't have the ability right now to take on doing it fully, but might be able to fix some minor stuff.

If it's vaulted and not accessible from the ruleset folder, then you would have to reach out to the developer directly for that access.
