House Rules from DrZeuss
Can someone please detail what does this extension do?
Thanks,
Gustavo.

- adds the optional 4E House Rules for Fumble Dice. In standard rules 4E D&D an attack roll of 1 results in an automatic miss, the extension changes this functionality such that when an attack roll of 1 occurs, a fumble die is automatically rolled and the results output as part of the Attack string to the chatpad.
- augments the standard 4E desktop graphics for the ruleset with my personal custom graphics - this was the original skin the new default 4E theme came from.

I really like the fumble dice.
I was unable to determine what the campaign date script does. Where does that show up in the FG interface, and how do yo use it?

Oh yes, I forgot about the date feature. As the DM you can enter /date into the chatbox to open up a small date and time tracker. It's hardcoded for the FR Calendar of Harptos.
You can advance/reverse time by scrolling over the number fields. Double clicking the hour/minute field sends a date+time stamp to the chat window, double-clicking the year/day fields sends the year/date stamp to the chat window. Handy for adding chronological events to the chat log.
You can also drag the fields to notes etc.

Oh, and what does the font extension do?--Doc Waldo

How do you handle a "broken weapon" in 4e? also, can I go into the extension and change the parameters? For example, I don't want to deal with a broken weapon, so sub it for something else? Thanks.

Handling broken weapons is really at the discretion of the DM. In my games players who break normal weapons can pay to have them repaired (once they find a suitable smithy etc.). For magical weapons I usually make it more demanding for the players to 'restore' their weapons, this can sometimes lead to side quests or in the case of one of my players (Paladin) lead to a greater quest (holy pilgrimage) with major campaign events interwoven into the storyline
And yes, you can change the roll effects by simply editing the FumbleManager.lua script in the extension.
