Features
- Breakage Mechanics: Trigger weapon breakage on low rolls and armor/shield breakage on high rolls with configurable thresholds.
- Two-Stage Breakage: Transition items from Undamaged → Damaged → Broken. Durability is based on rarity and decrements by 1 per hit until reaching 0. At durability 0, the item is broken.
- Durability Tracking: Assign durability based on item rarity, reducing it on failed breakage rolls.
- Heavy Weapon Bonus: Add a configurable bonus to breakage rolls for heavy weapons.
- Repair System: Use the "Repair" button on item sheets (GM-only), with costs based on a percentage of the original price, doubled for broken items, and deducted gold from PCs if available.
- Penalties: Apply attack-roll penalties to damaged/broken weapons and AC penalties to damaged/broken armor, doubling for broken states.
- Audio Feedback: Play customizable sounds for breakage attempts, successes, and failures.
- Settings: Adjust many aspects of the module to fit your needs.
- Localization: Support translations through en.json.
- UI Enhancements: Breakage popup shows an item preview with an icon and a color-coded status (orange for Damaged).
- Targeting Logic: Prioritize shields and skip broken items.
- MIDI Support: Use it with both the vanilla D&D 5e and MIDI QOL workflows.
- Macro Included: Use the bundled "Repair Macro" for quick repair actions on selected tokens or for PC visits to the blacksmith.
