Items and Active Effects? #4

Open sirkerry opened 1 week ago

sirkerry commented 1 week ago

Any chance of adding Active Effects to the 4 item types (General Skill, Special Ability, Spell, and Weapon Mastery) that don't currently have them or at least to Spells and Special Abilities?

Maybe. Can you give me an example of how it would work for a spell or special ability, just abstract, not technical. Or if there is another system that has that functionality I can look at that.

ARS and DND5e have this, but you know thinking about this, what might work is basically a Spell 'Item' kind of like a condition that could be added to an actor but not show up as part of the regular item inventory. Use cases would be to handle things like curses, blessings and temporary items like 'mage armor' although something like mage armor most likely should show up in the regular inventory?

Oh I see what you mean now. I like it, but will have to let that one marinate for awhile, because I'm not sure exactly how I'd want to implement that.
