Custom Target Modifiers
Release 4.11 adds the feature to include a target modifier list with the roll dialog. This feature is fully custom and allow one to specify common roll modifiers that are typically encountered during combat (but are difficult for the system to detect). An example is the target being in cover.
There is a new string setting under Advanced Ruleset Settings -> Rolls -> List of target modifiers. It is a comma separated list of the various modifiers that will appear in the select list. An image of the setting appears below,
The string format has the form 'label1 +/-value2, label2 +/-value2'. For example, the common Cepheus Deluxe modifiers would appear like:
Obscured -1, Cover (hard) -2, Cover (heavy) -3, Cover (total) -4, Running -1, Prone (ranged) -2, Darkness -2, Dim Light -1, Shield -1, Overwatch w/Shield -2
A 'None 0' modifier is automatically added to the list and is the default. The use of a plus sign in front of positive modifier is optional. If the field is blank (i.e. an empty string), Target Modifiers are not shown in the roll dialog.
Default, common settings have been added to rules sets that are allowed to have customization.
Target modifiers can be applied to any item roll. A new multi-select field will appear on the roll dialog (listed as Target DM). The user may then select the appropriate Target Modifiers before the roll.
The roll modifier will appear in the roll chat message.
With Twodsix v5.3.0, users can now link token/actor status conditions to target DM automatically. This is done by expanding description string to the format label1 +/-value2 | status tooltip. For example (in English), the format for an automatic cover modifier could be Cover (hard) -2 | In Cover,. The status tooltip string must be an exact match to the status tooltip.
As of version 5.4.0, it is now possible to link actor traits to a target DM. Instead of a status name, use the trait name after the vertical bar. Note that the name must be an exact match (capitalization counts).
For single targets, the Target DM modifiers will auto populate in the roll popup form. They can be amended as desired. For multiple targets, the target DM will be automatically selected for each target unless a target DM is selected in the popup form. If any target DM is selected in the popup form with multiple targets, this acts as an override and any status conditions or traits are ignored.
