Hybrid Points and slots #27

Open TheDataReaper opened 2 years ago

TheDataReaper commented 2 years ago

Hey i was wondering if its possible to add an option to have a single character have both points and spells slots, i made a tweak to the sorcerer class and i was hoping to be able to use it in Foundry but havent found a mod that lets me but yours is very close.

misthero commented 2 years ago

how should that work?

As I only run sorcerers with spell points it could be different for other DMS but i think for it to be modular for others to have everything they might is usualy the best approach.

Some way to set certain levels to use slots instead points since the base of your system is points, could just be a toggle in the players spellbook tab nest to each spell level. Or it could just be an change of the "This character uses Spell Points" toggle have something like: "This character uses Spell Points for Levels: 1 ▢, 2 ▢, 3 ▢, 4 ▢, 5 ▢, 6 ▢, 7 ▢, 8 ▢, 9 ▢."

Alternatively in the module settings area but simplicity dictates the spellbook seems the best option.

This is a usability issue with warlocks, when pact magic still give spell slots. It isn't possible for warlocks to cast a spell in this case when this module is used. The system allows the caster to choose a pact magic spell slot instead of spell points to cast a spell, but the system still chooses to use spell points of an equivalent spell slot level instead. It fails to cast due to insufficient spell points.

The work around is to have the player cast the spell with "Consume Spell Slot?" unchecked and then have them manually remove the pact magic spell slot.

this should be fixed in v2 and dndv3

Yea, running Sorcerers as the only class with "Spell Points" while every other class uses slots is a common thing I'm seeing more and more of in people in my own circle asking for when building foundry stuff- no idea if its currently doable tho?
