5E - Capital Gains

[MeAndUnique]

Noticed this on the Beastheart player in my last session - when they went to use End of Combat healing on their companion with 0 Ferocity remaining the heal value shown in the chat was -2147483648: capture.jpg. Didn't actually cause any issues as far as I could tell. Thank you for all your work on these awesome extensions!

Do you happen to know what steps they took to cause this? It seems to be working as intended on my end in a clean campaign with both the beastheart and their companion on the CT, the effect is applied to the beastheart first, then the spend resource action is dragged onto the companion.

Do you happen to know what steps they took to cause this? It seems to be working as intended on my end in a clean campaign with both the beastheart and their companion on the CT, the effect is applied to the beastheart first, then the spend resource action is dragged onto the companion.

I think what happened is at the end of combat they had 0 ferocity, applied the effect to the beastheart, and then clicked the "Rsrc" button (instead of dragging it), which showed a -2147483648 heal on themself. However, even with dragging the heal on to the companion, if the beastheart has 0 ferocity, the negative heal value is shown.

To recreate in a new 5E campaign with only the Capital Gains extension enabled:

1. Load the Beastheart module
2. Create a new character with at least the following:
   
   • Name
   • New resource named Ferocity, leave value unchanged (i.e. 0)
   • Drag the End of Combat healing power from Beastheart Reference Manual Appendix A to the character Actions tab.
3. Drag the character to the CT
4. Add a companion from NPCs to CT (I used Basilisk Companion), set to Friend faction
5. On test character, click button for End of Combat healing effect
6. On test character, drag Rsrc button to Basilisk Companion on CT
7. Chat shows 0 ferocity spent and a heal value of -2147483648

Great, thanks for taking the time to write this up! I can now reproduce the issue and will work to resolve it.

This is the formula recommended in the Beastheart module, using Aura Effects with Capital Gains:
AURA: 5 foe; Grant Ferocity; IF: FACTION(notself); SGRANTS: 1, Ferocity

The issue I'm having: it parses correctly the number of attackers and then tries to give that number of Ferocity to those attackers, instead of the NPC that's carrying this effect. I've tried switching between (SELF) and targets, it does the same either way. Can anyone who's used this help?

Are you applying the effect to the Beastheart or the companion It should be to the companion.

[ColoradoGM]

yes, it's on the companion. The Beastheart has to put it on the companion, because I can't make effects like that in an NPC stat block, it has to be on a PC's action page.

While I'm not seeing this exact symptom I can reproduce some inconsistent results with SGRANTS, where sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it doesn't fire at all... So that's gonna be a bit of an extra challenge to tackle. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Minor issue, and I don't know what side it should be corrected on - when this extension and Close Encounters are loaded in a clean campaign with no other extensions, the icon for adding a resource option is pushed to the side by Close Encounters. When clicking on it, it now does nothing. Is there any way to work around this conflict?

I've spoken with the author, we just happened to get out of sync in our approach for adding new items to the menu there. Close Encounters should be getting an update in the near future to address it.

Version 2.2.3 has been released with a fix for the large negative value being shown when using RSRCHEALT and having none of the resource in question. Incidentally, I have been unable to reproduce any issues with SGRANTS after implementing this fix, and so I believe it will also address that.
