elffriend-dnd/foundryvtt-dnd5eextender

A module which aims to allow customizable extension of the dnd5e system.

foundryvtt-dnd5eextender's Issues

Dice So Nice dice definitions

It would be neat to leverage the DSN api to set dice styles for the damage types.

League of Extraordinary FoundryVTT Developers Trello Card

Associated Trello Card for this Module

Abilities and Skills are stored in client rather than world settings

When adding a new skill or ability, it only appears for the client that created them, and new skills and abilities show up across worlds.

Extension Data for AC

The ability to define additional Defensive Stats such as DR (Damage Reduction), Touch AC, etc. and display them in a pop-up field from the AC location. These additional AC types can be AC (to hit) or DR (damage reduction).

Stacked Inspiration

Use Case

A common homebrew rule for inspiration is to make it a counter instead of a boolean.

This might be similar to the Bonus Die module. And it might be the play to make this a dependency/recommendation.

Figure out how to Safely Undo changes made

This module is a terrible idea because it is currently impossible to recover from adding these custom abilities/skills to an actor, then take them away.

If I can figure out some sort of migration script that will fix this for existing actors, the module will be drastically safer.

In fact, if this is possible, I might want to PR this functionality into dnd5e instead of keep this module around. It really does belong on the system level where it can't be accidentally disabled.

Allow Custom Skills for PCs

Use Case:

Modern 5e games might use skills like "Hacking" or "Technology"

These skills need a default ability score associated with it.

In theory if we can inject this ability score early enough in the dnd5e startup process that we fool dnd5e into thinking this has always existed, and it'll do all the magic that skills normally allow.

Some gotchyas to remember about:

• Jack of All Trades

Proficiency Dice for PCs

Use Case

Alternate rule from the DMG. Instead of a flat proficiency mod, it's a scaling die.

This will have to manipulate the way that rolls happen, possible approaches:

• Intercept @mod and replace with the correct die formula and it'll 'just work'.

Gotchyas to track:

• Better Rolls & Midi QOL, both do strange things to rolls so we need to be careful there.

Deprecation

@shultzcole has remixed this module into something slightly safer here:

Custom Experience Tiers

Allow DMs the ability to customize the XP Tiers per level. Potentially allow an increased level cap.

Allow Custom Ability Scores for PCs

Use Case:

Honor and Sanity are examples in the DMG.

These ability scores should be added in such a way that the following 'just happen' ideally:

• Ability Check
• Ability Save
• Skill Rolls
• Use Ability for Weapon attacks
• Use Ability for Spellcasting

In theory if we can inject this ability score early enough in the dnd5e startup process that we fool dnd5e into thinking this has always existed.
