Feature Request: Importable NPC sheets #4

Open kmanrulze opened 3 years ago

Less so of an issue, thought his can be tagged as a feature request if needed. Hero Labs offers a nice way to make monsters and NPC's.

These options are available for making monsters and encounters with the proper NPC rules of PF2e. The token process is completely the same once a character is made, though the data structure is likely different.

This feature request is to request being able to import these kinds of characters as NPC's into Foundry with their export tokens. Currently, the module does not allow for importing NPC's in this manner. This can be expanded to the others too as a side goal.

This has been requested a few times. The NPC sheet doesn't work like the PC sheet at this point, so it's not really possible at this time without basically writing a full NPC creator (as opposed to a parser/converter).

I think changing the NPC sheets to act more like PC sheets is on the horizon, though, so this might be possible in the future.

That would be a stellar thing to add honestly. Being able to use your tool to import in monster/NPC sheets and things from the list above would be an incredibly nice tool to have for encounter building.

If you need any help, let me know. I can keep on the watch for the feature if it is possibly on the horizon for sure
