NPC Flavors Extension

[Tideturner]

Hi,

Sorry for not being on top of these comments, been away from playing and using FG for a while. But don't worry, it's not my fault. It's yours. So I'm in the clear. Phew.

Would it be possible to augment this extension to detect if the creature's been identified or not and then use the relevant field? Not sure how easy or difficult it would be to tie into that, and it's only a minor inconvenience for me to deal with for the time being (I can add my own flavors to the CT once added).

Not sure how exactly I would do that. The reason the extension doesn't flavor single characters is so your carefully crafted NPC doesn't suddenly show up with a too bold fashion choice.
However, there's already an option to change what the default non id name is, so it's not just "Unidentified Creature". I think that works for all NPCs, not just the flavored ones.

Also with the, hopefully, coming update, you'll be able to override the flavor chance on individual NPC groups in the encounter. So you could set it to 100% if you want some flavor on your Troll

Is there a known incompatibility with Combat Groups by SilentRuin? I'm using both extensions, and while Combat Groups works fine, NPC Flavors does not. The first NPC in a stack pulls a flavorful name, but the rest come into the CombatTracker as "NPC 1", etc. This is in 5e.

Not that I'm aware of, but I have never used it myself. Did you try changing the percent chance as MrDDT suggested?
Or perhaps it's some other scenario? The extension only flavors NPCs if there are two or more of the same type + name in the combat tracker.

just following up with this... and again, many thx for even taking a look...

I was going to update the extension, I swear. But I accidentally ran away with the circus and now they won't let me go because, as it turns out, I'm an excellent lion tamer.
But don't worry. I've started wearing a suit and tie to be an outcast among outcasts. They've already scolded me for breaking the no rules rule. I expect to be kicked out soon.

(Also, we just resumed playing again yesterday, so I'm hoping I'll get back to it soonish? Sorry for being lazy)

Hey so I have added this to my campaign and turned it on in the options but I can't see the npc flavors when I add NPCs to the combat tracker. Is there something I am missing... I've turned it on in the options as well....

Having Issues after latest FGU update.

Having Issues after latest FGU update.

I'm not seeing any issues myself. Only did a quick test in 5E though.
What ruleset, and what issues?

[Lord Skrolk]

I am using the 5E ruleset, seems that a few extensions were affected after the prior update. And there was another update today, so what is happening now, is I set it to 80% Flavor name, and I am still not getting any flavors.
