    Extension or Option to roll defense

    Hi,

    I am new to FG and in our pathfinder Iron Gods game we are using an optional rule were you roll 1d20+def bonus instead of using the fixed 10+defense bonus.
    I was wondering if there was a way to easily recreate this with an existing extension or an option to unlock in FG.

    in the end i would like to use this in both my pathfinder (iron gods) and 5e game (curse of strahd).

    ty.

    Welcome

    There is not an extension I know of, it is possible to code something like this, I guess, but it would certainly need some/a major rewrite of the code, especially when one wants to include the defense roll with the physical dice system/code. Using a random table for the defense roll instead might be easy to code though because one only needs to replace the generic 10 with a random table going from 1 to 20 (but just guessing at the moment, it gets often more complicated than expected ) Maybe someone can do this for you or already did

    Welcome to the FG forums Alucard339!

    See this thread: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...atic-10-for-AC And post #33 for an extension. This will need updating to v3.3.9 code - don't run this for anything other than testing as the script it uses has been modified in the three years since that extension was made.

    Ty for the answer, Ill look into it and see what i can do with it.
    I do intend to try implementing our game style in FG, once i learn enough lua coding.

    You can also just do it manually until you get an extension to work. Just setup a 1d20+10 roll in a hotbar and manually calculate the hit/miss.

    Hi

    I shortly took a look and the original author indeed took the easy way: he replaced the 10 with math.random(20) Thence, I shortly updated it to the actual FG version, but I didn't test it yet due to time issues (I took a very short glimpse over it, so, please tell me whether it works; the chat message for the attack is changed such that you can see the roll of the AC roll)

    Just in case: When you use some of my extensions, especially anything with the advanced effects extension, then my extension will overwrite this here. When you want a combination of both, then please tell me I can shortly do that

    PS: For some reason the bonusses coming from effects for AC and ATK were not been accounted into the rolls in this extension; so, I am not sure whether there was some other meaning of this extension or some oversight on my side. Maybe this was a bug back then or a design decision. Thus, please test the extension before you use it ingame In this extension the effects are now accounted into the automation

    EDIT: When you want to update this on your own: Only manager_action_attack.lua got changed. I added comments in form of KEL and END, everything between is what you have to add to that file to make it work

    EDIT2: Reuploaded it, for a little bit better chat message

    I will look into it for sure and try it.
    I didn't have access to internet yesterday, so I experience with lua and made it too as you can see in picture below.

    Thanks to all of you for your help.
    Ah, cool Let us know when you need any help

    The extension is for 3.5e and PF1. I am writing this because I see a roll with disadvantage in your image such that you seemingly write your extension for 5e? (I remember that you wanted it in both rulesets) The manager_action_attack.lua is different in both rulesets, so you need two extensions at the end

    You are right the one I post was for 5e since my next Xmas game will be in 5e. End up working well with you making the PF1.

    Quick question that I am not sure should be here or not, but if you can answer it or point me in the good direction it would be appreciated.

    Still in 5e for now.

    I start understanding how lua function. but so far i still need to find where to find the ActionsManager function and/or rRoll one (see below) as I want to add a special rule that on a natural 20, you reroll another d20 and add them (kind of like savage world exploding dices). My issue is that i want the d20 dice show the final result (ie: 1d20+3 where the program roll a 20 and a 7 would show either this = [27] + 3 30 or [20] + [7] + 3 30).

    "rAction.nTotal = ActionsManager.total(rRoll);"

    thank you fro your help.
