[D&D3.5 + Pathfinder] MT1.3b63 Campaign Macros r05

[ziltmilt]

I don't think the Herolab output is using a standard PF statblock. According to my playgroup, the current Statblock2Token macro doesn't update the properties appropriately when given a statblock from Herolab. From my own experience, it gets stuff mostly right, but it's not 100%.

Thank you!!!

This is a great framework. I use it primarily in tabletop games to keep track of my characters and to make rolls easier because i am mathematically challenged. Thanks for all of your work.

Here's a quick question. If I want to edit an equipped item to add a bonus to a specific skill how do I apply the bonus to the skill without it being global and applying to all skills?

[neofax]

I can see how to give Action Points to characters, but how does the PC know how many they have and spend 1? I would like to use this variant in my game.

Also, I see that you have the confused tables in the FW, but is there a macro that rolls against the table to see what action the confused takes? How hard would it be to tie this into the initiative?

I am having a hard time trying to get the correct AC/CMD for a 1st Level Un-Encumbered, no armor wearing Monk. I put WisB in the ArmorMod box, but this does not fix the other defense stats of CMD and Touch. How can I add the WisB bonus to these defense stats?

I just create an item with a deflection bonus but you'll need to consider your actual deflection bonus, so in globalMod field I put:

Code: Select all

getStrProp(ArmorClass,'Deflection')

and in Deflection I put:

Code: Select all

3+WisB+globalMod

"3" is the extra AC from the Monk level. I saved the item in the category "Monk Abilities" as "AC Bonus". Even for abilities that don't have a combat effect I like making items for them just so I can review them with the mod report. You may want to look back a couple of pages where I posted a new version for the mod report and puts items on their own line and redoes the high lighting. I didn't like the data dump look of the original report.

@aliasmask: Thanks! I would have never have thought of that. Also, I am using your changed Mod Report. The only problem I have with it is that it subdues the conditions that used to print out as well. i.e. Daze would output on a new line with the state image and rules.

I was unaware of that feature. I'll see about adding that back in.

Oh, one note about the above. If your AC is adjusted for some reason, you need to un-equip item and re-equip for it to calculate correctly. So, if you get a new ring of protection it won't be figured correctly until you take off/put on the AC Bonus because items are only calculated when put on.

There are several answers to this question.

First, if you are using Plothos or Wrathgon's Spell Manager, you can just create at Special Ability (Action Point). This is fairly clean and has you and your players looking in the same place for spells and abilities.

Way back when, I implemented a token based Action Point mechanism. This requires a macro on each token that has action points, and the macro changes color (green = available, red=all out). The token macro also reports the number of APs available in the macro name. The Rest macro works with this to restore the token to 1 action point. The Action Point token macro does work if the number of available points is > 1, but I don't have anything that directly increases the quantity (but it should be straight forward as it is stored as a JSON:

Code: Select all

"ActionPoint":{
   "Type":"Daily",
   "Quantity":1,
   "Used":0,
   "ButtonLabel":"Action Point (1 left)"
} 

The Rest macro calls subResetDaily which is a nice base towards modifying the AP count:

subResetDaily

Code: Select all

[H: tToken = getStrProp(macro.args, "Token")]

[H: switchToken(tToken)]

[H, IF(json.type(PrivateJSON) == "UNKNOWN" || json.isEmpty(PrivateJSON)), CODE: { };{
    [H, FOREACH(prop, json.fields(PrivateJSON)), CODE: {
      [H: jO = json.get(PrivateJSON, prop)]
      [H: act = 0]
      [H, IF(json.contains(jO, "Type")): act = if(json.get(jO, "Type") == "Daily", 1, 0)]
      [H, IF(act): jO = json.set(jO, "Used", 0)]

      [H: act2 = if(prop == "ActionPoint", 1, 0)]
      [H, IF(act && act2): btnLbl = "Action Point (" + json.get(jO, "Quantity") + " left)"]
      [H, IF(act && act2): macroP = json.set("{}", "label", btnLbl, "color", "green")]
      [H, IF(act && act2): setMacroProps(json.get(jO, "ButtonLabel"), macroP)]
      [H, IF(act && act2): jO = json.set(jO, "ButtonLabel", btnLbl)]

      [H, IF(act): PrivateJSON = json.set(PrivateJSON, prop, jO)]

    }]
}]

I am not certain there are Initiative actions that get triggered when a token receives initiative, so I am not certain how to programmatically tie this in. To use the Confused table, you just double-click on it (it is visible to players so they can click on it).

Thanks for the answers! I guess, I will use the first Action Point method as it will not reset when the token rests as I would like to allow the players the ability of using the AP(Action Point) when they so choose. I never knew you could just click on tables to auto roll them. Any progress on a new update?

[Elorebaen]

In the new Pathfinder book, APG, a few new combat maneuvers have been added. I would like to add these to the framework, and I'm hoping the more knowledgeable folks can help me with that. I'm assuming I can utilize the current special attacks, make duplicates, and then alter them as appropriate.

What would be my approach?

Thank you!

[Netmagus]

I've been able to add new feats to the editMain code and you are able to check/uncheck the feat on the Character Sheet and it adds it to the token. However whenever you check/uncheck it, the macro asks for the value of the feat variables. Is this value stored elsewhere or am I just missing something somewhere in the code? Thanks!

[aliasmask]

If you go to campaign properties and add the feat variable name to the end of the Feats property string list and set a value of 0. For example, I added the Cleave feat which looks like: Cleave=0;

Depending on your system, you add it to that property type (DnD35 and/or Pathfinder).
