Skill Check: Special Effects on Critical Success/Failure

[jkeller]

It's working great so far!

If I want to include tables, can that be done as part of the extension? Or would it need to be a module or rule-set or something?

My next steps:

1) Data entry of all the tables. I'm trying to contact the author (I backed the Kickstarter - Critical Codex), but I hope he'll consider making them available via Forge, or at least to his other backers.

2) Attribute/Tool checks. For example, Lockpicking. This isn't a 5E skill, so it would be a DEX check (using Thieves' Tools). I assume I can override the attribute check, but I'm not sure yet how I would do so just for lockpicking. Perhaps adding an Action to the character? Or maybe the extension would only apply the custom code if some condition was met (e.g. Alt-roll, or whatever). That would probably be fairly easy to implement, but not very intuitive.

3) Saving Throws.

4) Combat (Attacks and Spells). I assume I could do this based on Trenloe's Nat20 extension. Ideally, though, it would use different tables for different weapon/damage types (at least for bludgeoning/piercing/slashing).

Glad it’s working well so far.

As tables are data they can only be packaged outside a campaign, for use in other campaigns, in the form of a module.

Can anyone point me to where I can find documentation about packages like ActionSkill?

I've looked in: the wiki
And in this : reference document

But I don't see it. Thanks!

The documentation is only for the core client APIs and packages. Any CoreRPG or ruleset-specific packages are not documented; and should be reviewed directly.

Would that be somewhere in C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds?

I unzipped rulesets/5E.pak and CoreRPG.pak and found some things, but not ActionSkill or ActionsManager, etc.

Thanks again!

ActionsManager is part of CoreRPG; and ActionSkill is part of 5E. They are denoted in the base.xml for each ruleset.

<script name="ActionsManager" file="scripts/manager_actions.lua" />

<script name="ActionSkill" file="scripts/manager_action_skill.lua" />

Make sure that you get a text editor with a good multi-file search; so you can search over all of the code for definitions. (i.e. Sublime Text, Notepad++, VS Code, etc.)

Ah, I see - thank you!
