OK I just bought all of this stuff and am struggling to set it all up. I simply can't believe with a thread 111 pages deep there are not better instructions (or a video that would take 5 minutes at most). Yes I've seen the first posting, it doesn't tell me anything. I have both B9 core and spell tokens, I did the XML import thing and see all the pretty spell token things under a config window, but I see no way to get the character sheet action tab to show the token slot. Do I need yet another extension? Any help would be appreciated I'm about to bail on this and call it wasted cash and never buy an extension again. I am shocked FGU doesn't have this built in by default. Sorry if I sound cranky, but this is really frustrating. I have session prep to do and this stuff just eats up my time!

If you want to hit me up on discord I can get you set up.

Thanks again for your help tonight ... I was so close! I can't wait to see the PCs use these tomorrow night.

Hope you got it working, my guess is you added it to a campaign and did not re-parse the spells on the player sheet. ( As it sounds from the info you loaded the config file fine, just had a player sheet issue. )

While you checked the start or the forum, did you not think to check the actual forge store page for the main information about the extension ?

Forge Spell Token Extension

[nasman]

bratch9, yes I did read that page and anything else I could find. Where I got hung up was simply at this part:

"With spell tokens configured by the DM, when a player adds a spell to their character sheet the spell token will be show on the end of the line for that spell. These can be 'updated' with the 're-parse' option on the radial menu. For custom spells that do not re-parse correctly holding down 'shift' while doing the 're-parse' option will just update the spell token."

I thought I had configured the tokens by loading the xml file you provided in this thread, but did not see the tokens in the character sheet and had never heard of re-parse before. So it was just one tiny step for me and MrDDT got on voice/Discord with me to help out. Not sure how you could make that more clear unless it was in a video. Would be hard to capture in a picture. I'm also still slightly confused on what would happen if I had a custom spell with the same name and did that ... I assume I'd lose it?

This was literally the first extension I have ever bought through Forge (believe it or not). Like, when I bought it I had no idea "where it went". No download/etc. I had to go find another video on youtube on how it was just in my inventory and then FGU would find it automatically (which it did but then told me I was missing your free core extension too so had to get that, adding to my confusion).

Now that I've done it once the rest will be easier. So I'm basically the "worst case" test case of a completely new user of extensions.

Thanks for the reply ... I can't wait to use these tonight! Once I get comfortable with them I'll switch to animated ones/etc :-)
