[Feature Request] A new tab for Contacts/Characters Known #156

Open RinVindor opened 2 years ago

A great feature that another developer Carter_DC https://foundryvtt.com/packages/mage-fr used before he vanish was the ability to link character sheets in a section and the ability to list their Contact rating with that person which would be great for not just Ally and or Contacts but also Blood Bond/Viniculum ratings.

I will keep this in unplanned as all in all it is a rather big feature (with what I can view).

My planning around it is that I need a sub tab under Bio which holds details about a character - havens, stuff like that. But at the same time I do think in reallity it is better under Info. As you see I don't have a full picture how I want to organize and expand the backgrounds at this stage. But as you suggest it sounds both doable within the System itself it just might take a while before all of the features is in place.

First up will to have a place to list and detail it. Once that is done, well then I can add features as what you describe. Blood Bonds and Viniculum details are planned for v1.6 but that will be mainly a description feature in the beginning without actually connecting it to a character within the World.

My question really is, once you have connected it - making an actual connection between two actors - what features do you get then?

Trust me I understand that, I'm currently helping with the Star Wars 5E system on CSS/LESS stuff to help design and organize the sheets more effectively. Sheet design is a whole process 😂. That being said I agree with your decision to put it in the unplanned and in the Info section, placement can always be changed since you're in the early stages and layout isn't finalized.

As for what features do you get? With actors being linked you can track what kind of connection each NPC has with each other, its not quite as in-depth as an NPC web connection sheet. I and other players I've had found its great to have something to tract the connections we have with NPCs as you can nest Contacts rating with this connection. This is helpful if you take a break from game for a few months and come back as well as a smaller example.

If you need any help with anything feel free to hit me up on Discord 👍

This is also useful for Backgrounds from Changeling such as 'Dreamer', where you need to track and take note of things for them (When you started cultivating them, passions, etc).

A workaround would be to use Monk's Enhanced Journal's person journal page, that type of journal page has a simple relationship tracker.
