Release 19 - Information and feedback

[Trenloe]

Rebuilding the item activities (or simply saying yes to converting a character when its first opened) makes it so that all matching item entries will be unidentified afterwards. I'm not sure if it's possible but items should keep the previous identification status.

Thanks for reporting, I'll get that fixed in the next ruleset release.

Also I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the current UI design; it feels somewhat incoherent. I guess that's the fault of the updated core rules, but I hope that the designers update the theme to look more nicely in the near future.

The theme change is all CoreRPG driven.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Did you see my second post which was posted on the last page just before you sent a reply to the first one?

Also a note: I didn't update one of the characters through the initial popup but later I had two buttons instead of one (as shown in the overview video) for updating the character to R19. This also resulted in no backup copy being made of the character. Did I miss something there?

The PC backup is only made if the update is ran through the initial message window - and only if you're the GM. The chargen tracker right-click menu options don't create backups.

Ok, good to know!

Could the GM desktop DC panel be turned into a toggleable tool with a button in the top right Tool panel? I appreciate what it can do with extra information, but I won't need it most of the time and it takes up quite a lot of valuable screen space. I know you can minimise it, but then you have to put that somewhere and find it when you want it. Having a specific 'on/off' button would be more usable.

I'll add it to the list of feature requests to consider.

We were testing the shieldblock function, and we cannot figure out how to repair the shield once it has taken damage, or broken. We also don't see any information on it in the doc. I have tried targeting the player with the broken shield, then rolling the repair activity. Even though it says "success" and has how much will be repaired, it doesn't actually repair any of the HP. And we dont see an HP stat to modify manually on the equipment. Where do we handle this?

My shield does have an HP (and BT) field. To get to it, I open the inventory, open the shield, and unlock it. Then I see the fields, and I manually 'heal' the shield by deleting the Damage from it. I am not sure if there is an automated way to repair it though.

See what @mwfantasygrounds says above. The "HP Damage" is tracked in the equipped shield in the Inventory tab. There's no functionality currently to "heal" an item automatically, it has to be done manually.

Is there a way to have skill activities roll using Lore skills? Would love an activity for Esoteric Lore on my Thaumaturge.
