Question about ability score settings

Post by Idran »

I just had a quick question about setting up tokens in this framework; sorry if there's a small questions thread here already, but I poked around and didn't see one.

How do I give a creature no score in one of the ability scores, as opposed to 0? I tried "-" and "--" since those are the usual notations, but both just seem to confuse it. Is there an alternate way to do it, or is that just not implemented yet?

Give them a 10. 10 has no impact on any rolls. There is nothing coded to deal with "-" null scores.

I say this as Constitution is one of the scores that can be "-". So if you were to use 0, then your creature would take a massive hit on hitpoints.

It's not implemented at this point. Just give them a 10 (which will result in a modifier of 0) and then keep in mind that the don't have that score. For example, a Con score of "-" means they don't need to make Fort saves or a Str score of "-" (typically) means they use their Dex for everything (so you could just set the Str score to be the same as the Dex score).
