Walk this Way for 5e

**Farratto** · October 2nd, 2024, 23:44

Walk This Way

Current Version: v2.7.0
Updated: 2025-03-17

This extension provides a small popup window at the start of a person's turn that asks if they want to stand up, if they are prone. Version 2 of this extension now also calculates total effective speed after effects in combat tracker.

Installation

Install from the Fantasy Grounds Forge.
You can find the source code at Farratto's GitHub.
You can ask questions at the Fantasy Grounds Forum.
Video explaining how to use at YouTube.

Details

The prone checker will also check for any conditions that disallow a creature to stand up. If it finds one, it will not ask the player if they want to stand up. The following conditions are currently supported.

Grappled; Paralyzed; Petrified; Restrained; Unconscious; Tasha's Hideous Laughter; Unable to Stand; SPEED: none; NOSTAND; SPEED: max(0)

The window asks if the person wants to stand up. If they answer okay, the extension will remove the effect that contains prone and add an effect that says "SPEED: halved" that lasts until the end of turn. If they answer cancel, close the window, or ignore the window, the extension will do nothing.
The window can be ignored and it will go away at the end of turn without consequences.
The speed effects that are recognized:

Effect........................................| Description

SPEED: none..............................| rooted
SPEED: -10 or SPEED: 10 dec........| decreases all speeds by 10
SPEED: 10 inc............................| increases all speeds by 10
SPEED: 60.................................| increases all speeds to 60 (speeds already above 60 will be unchanged)
SPEED: type(climb).....................| adds a new speed 'climb' and sets it to be the same as walking speed
SPEED: 60 type(fly).....................| adds a new speed 'Fly' and sets only the new speed to 60
SPEED: -30 type(fly)....................| decreases fly speed by 30
SPEED: type(-fly)........................| removes fly speed
SPEED: 5 max or SPEED: max(5)...| none of the speeds can exceed 5
SPEED: difficult ..........................| difficult terrain handling (halves all speeds except fly)
SPEED: halved............................| halves all speeds (after inc/dec); stackable
SPEED: doubled..........................| doubles all speeds (after inc/dec); stackable
SPEED: tripled............................| triples all speeds (after inc/dec); stackable

Supports RAW encumbered (both standard and variant), exhaustion, Dash, and 2024 Athlete Feat rules.
Coming soon: reduces speed when wearing armor the character is not strong enough to wear.

The extension updates all the speeds on the speed field in the combat tracker. Character sheets still show base speed. There is an optional window that shows all the speeds for a character and all the effects affecting their speed.You can have the window open automatically on your turn through an option setting. Or you can open the window at any time by double-clicking the speed field on a character sheet or the combat tracker.

Option setting (for GM and players) to change the units that speed is displayed in. Current choices are feet, meters, and tiles. Automatically rounds final speed down to nearest half tile. Typing /distunits followed by either ft, m, or tiles will change the units that the effects are processed in. This is advanced usage and I don't recommend unless all your effects are not in feet (unusual).

Current Extension/Module Support: Better Combat Effects, Pets, GrimPress's 5e Automatic Effects, Team Twohy's 5e Effects Coding, Assistant GM, Mad Nomad's Character Sheet Effects Display, 5E Auto Encumbrance, Exhausted, Temporal Fixation, Step Counter

Note: Known limitation with Mad Nomad's Character Sheet Tweaks: Changed units will not display on player character sheets (but still works on CT, speed windows, and NPCs)

Other Rulesets

This extension was designed with 5e in mind, but I have ported it to work on most rulesets. I believe any ruleset will work for the prone functionality. But since I haven't gone through the individual rules of other rulesets, I've included the folowing recognized effects:

Unable to Stand; SPEED: none; NOSTAND; Unconscious

If you would like me to add to this list, or make more specific accomodations for your ruleset, please let me know.

Any ruleset based on DnD or Pathfinder should work for speed calculations and thus for supporting maximum speed limitation in Step Counter. If you find that one of these rulesets is not working or you have another ruleset you'd like me to add, please let me know.

Pathfinder 2e

In addition to the above universal checks, when under the Pathfinder 2e ruleset, this extension will check for the following conditions:

Dead; Paralyzed; Dying; Immobilized; Petrified; Restrained; Grabbed; Stunned

Pathfinder 1e

In addition to the above universal checks, when under the Pathfinder 1e ruleset, this extension will check for the following conditions:

Cowering, Dazed, Dead, Dying, Grappled, Helpless, Paralyzed, Petrified, Pinned, Stable. Stunned, Unconscious, Exhausted, Entangled

Still Being Developed

If you find any additional effects, where a user is not able to stand up, please let me know. Or any other concerns or suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy!

[10/8/2024 7:14:57 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "WalkThisWay:scripts/manager_combat_wtw.lua"]:335: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

I get this error when running this with Better Combat Effects installed alongside. Seems to work fine on its own, but there must be a conflict somewhere in there.

It should be fixed now. Please let me know if you have any other problems.

How does this work on PF2? It just takes 1 Action in this system. No correlation with your speed.

I love the reminder. Would love to use

Thank you for your interest and the information. Let me take a look today and probably get an update pushed this evening to support PF2.

I made the extension more Pathfinder 2e friendly. It won't add a buff saying SPEED: 0.5. And I added a bunch of new conditions specific to PF2 that it'll check for (see original post edit for details). Update through the forge to receive immeadiately. Please let me know what you think.

Thank you for your contact.
