SWADE Item Tables v1.19.0-beta

It's All About Power!

UPDATE: I've updated the attached file. I forgot to set protected to false in the manifest file. Additionally, I've set it up so that it extracts to a folder of the appropriate name.

I'm publishing this as a pre-release for testing purposes to make sure there aren't any glaring bugs or omissions in the code. There's a lot of hoop jumping in this one, but I think it might be well worth it for the QoL value it brings. You can download the beta release attached to this post and extract it in your Data/modules folder.

Please report only bugs you find and reserve any additional feature requests or suggestions for after the stable release. Right now, this is just about getting the two new features stabilized for release. That's not to say I'm not interested in those ideas, just that I want to keep the scope tightly focused for now and not risk introducing more bugs.

• Adds prompt for assignment of Power Points to an Arcane Background when the Powers Points Edge is added in the character creation and advances apps.

  • Assigning the Arcane Background adds its name to the Power Points Edge name in parentheses (e.g., "Power Points (Bard)");

  • Additionally, the Power Points Edge will include an Active Effect that adjusts the maximum number of Power Points for that Arcane Background.

  • NOTE: The name of the Power Points pool for a given Arcane Background is not literally the name of the Arcane Background Edge. Instead the system typically derives this from the arcane value of the powers on the Actor. This is where the list of Arcane Background choices is drawn from.

• You can now drag and drop powers into the character creation and advances apps after you've added the New Powers Edge.

  • The system will check if the Edge has been added first by looking for the SWID `new-powers`.

  • In the advances app, adding the New Powers Edge will present a note below the new advance about dropping in the powers.

  • Dropping a power into the advances app appends the power to the Edge as an Item Grant so that when toggling the advance or otherwise removing the Edge will also remove the power.

  • The notes for the advance are also updated to include power names that are linked to the Compendium copy for reference as usual.

  • NOTE: It is currently not possible to edit the powers associated with the insteance of the New Powers Edge. You'll need to delete the advance and again add the Edge and the powers to change the list.

• Fixes Born a Hero not applying to Item Tables because of missing character creation context.
