Other rulesets have even less automation. The DnD5e Ruleset is further along than most in development, support and popularity. There are too many ifs, ands, & buts, to cover all situations. The real frustration lies in not being able to see or understand how the actual ruleset in question is actually going to interface with the Virtual tabletop format, and that comes with time, trial, error, and some critical thinking. Automation, at the level in which the Dnd5e rule set provides, is NOT the FG standard, it is the exception to the rule or standard. Rob Twohy and Zacchaeus and even others have taken the time and over two years to actually think outside the box and refine how they use Fantasy Grounds larger potential, a not as it's requirement. WoTC gives the IP license out to Smiteworks, and other platforms to do what they can to adapt it to work with a given set of parameters and limitations to each ruleset.
So, nobody is being duped, or being mislead. VTT means just that, there is always going to be some form of manual intervention, and there are different ways to handle the same situations. It's almost like saying that WoTC or Smiteworks has not given you the time to learn the system or its nurances. The time put into it, and the level of understanding required to even know you are missing or breaking things is up to the end users. If a person NEVER knew that the automation was there, especially in the case of the more advanced situations, does that mean it's broken? How long have you been playing, how much time have new users put in? What ruleset are you using? These are all going to vary. Do you think people are going to read a mega list of exceptions or that level of detail when they won't even rad the Wiki guides or the given Manuals? Most people buy on impulse. Accessibility, how it looks, and like you were concerned with, the complexity. FGu is not for everyone. There are people that want or require instant satisfaction and that is not going to happen so much using FG.FGA Founder
