DICE PACKS BUNDLE
  1. #1

    ruleset suggestion

    In the ruleset, hit dice must be entered like "5d6+5d6+0" but paizo statblocks can also be presented as "10 HD; 5d6+5d6"
    I have accommodated for this format in my Live Hitpoints extension and it could be integrated into the ruleset.
    in the addNPC function of manager_combat2.lua, just change this:
    Code:
    	if sOptHRNH == "max" and sHD ~= "" then
    		nHP = StringManager.evalDiceString(sHD, true, true);
    	elseif sOptHRNH == "random" and sHD ~= "" then
    		nHP = math.max(StringManager.evalDiceString(sHD, true), 1);
    	end
    to this
    Code:
    	if sOptHRNH == "max" and sHD ~= "" then
    		sHD = string.gsub(sHD, "%d+%s-HD%;", "")
    		nHP = StringManager.evalDiceString(sHD, true, true);
    	elseif sOptHRNH == "random" and sHD ~= "" then
    		sHD = string.gsub(sHD, "%d+%s-HD%;", "")
    		nHP = math.max(StringManager.evalDiceString(sHD, true), 1);
    	end

    Will this require any changes to the NPC stat blocks?

    Nope. It would simply also allow for this less-common alternate format to how hit dice are presented in Pathfinder 1e.

    I just tested with the code you provided and it's not working very well. Where do you collect the sHD?

    Do you have a stat block I can do testing with? I'm not finding many with the HD in the block

    Helekheterie from Ruins of Azlant AP Book 2 Into the Shattered Continent apparently has this.
    The module conversion people generally adapt the format when converting for FG, but sometimes it gets missed.
    I haven't come across it myself, but someone reported it as an issue with my extension so I thought I'd suggest the fix I used so module conversion folks can work a little less hard
    And this way statblocks can keep more of the original format.

    I'm all for making DLC creation easier. Just want to make sure this does not mess up anything unforeseen

    Let play with this for a bit and I'll toss it up for review.
