⚠️ Warning

🚧 System Under Development

Important Notice: This system is currently in active development. Consider the current releases as "beta", which implies that breaking changes may occur. While I strive to minimize disruptions, they are sometimes unavoidable.

Please use the system with this in mind, understanding that changes are ongoing, particularly as I develop the Swyvers premium module. Your patience and feedback are greatly appreciated as we work towards refining and stabilizing the system.

If you find any issue, please, use the repository to report it, or find me in the Melsonian's Discord server.

System Features

    • Roll Constitution, Dexterity and Strength attributes: uses the logic of roll under, and choose the number of dice
    • Inventory system
      • Create simple items called "Backpack" and "Sack" to give player access to it.

      • When rolling under, choose the number of dice to roll.
    • Spells
      • Allows to cast spell, using the blackjack system.
        • Hit will get a new card, stand will stop the progress and keep the current total.
        • If spell gets a failure, make it unavailable until the next day.
  • NPC Sheet
    • Uses the same weapon and armour to prepare the attacks and defenses
    • Has the possibility to have spells too.
    • Has some extra information related to defense bonus, innitiative bonus (not used yet) and movement.

And what about the things that are missing?

This a list of things that maybe we could consider that are missing:=

• Prosthetics and Ailments/Trauma
• Fences
• Criminal Record

These information are presented in the Character sheet for the book. However, the basic idea is for players to write on it. Based on that, we decided that this information should be used in the description/biography field. If we see that there is value in adding this as fields, we will schedule some time to do that.

Extra information for GMs

Some information is not presented here, as players could see that. Please, check this link to see the extra things implemented on the system: https://github.com/Cussa/fvtt-swyvers?tab=readme-ov-file#information-for-gms-eyes-only-players-go-away

Bugs

As this is still in development, bugs are expected, hence the warning above. If you find something that is not listed above, or that you believe that is an issue, please, open a ticket on the repository.
