    Remaster and renamed terms

    Does the remaster know about keywords that have been renamed? Meaning, does it know that positive == vitality, negative == void, and (good, evil, chaotic, lawful) == spirit, and flat-footed == off guard? I am going to be starting a campaign, and am worried about the interaction of effects from a combination of legacy and remastered sources.

    Flat-footed and off-guard can be used interchangeably. Damage are substituted during a damage action roll. However, we still need to write conversion routines to convert damage based effects that use legacy damage types on the fly.

    Notably, if a creature has resistance or weakness to negative or positive damage, that resistance/weakness will not function at all, even against attacks that deal negative or positive damage.

    This is because Fantasy Grounds converts the damage to vitality/void in the background but still checks the resistance/weakness against positive or negative, which is functionally impossible to ever actually do.

    So any creature with such a resistance, weakness, or immunity will need to have it manually changed to a resistance, weakness, or immunity to vitality or void damage instead, for the moment.
