This is an unofficial community implementation of the Zweihander d100 system for FoundryVTT

An unofficial community implementation of the Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG game for FoundryVTT.

Installation

To install the Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG system for FoundryVTT, simply paste the following URL into the Install System dialog on the Game Systems menu of the application: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fh-fvtt/zweihander/main/system.json.

If you wish to install the latest development version of the system, use the following URL instead: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fh-fvtt/zweihander/dev/system.json. You will receive the latest, bleeding edge features, but the risk of bugs and unintended behavior is much higher. A world backup is highly recommended!

Notable Features

• Automation. The game system takes care of the most boring parts of the rules for you (cumbersome calculations especially!), so you and your group can focus on the narrative at hand without getting bogged down.
• Drag & Drop. Writing things down? Ain't nobody got time for that! Speed up character creation, Tier advancement and more by simply dragging and dropping things on your character sheet!
• Fortune Tracker. Easily track the expenditure of Fortune & Misfortune with this nifty little tracker! Supports both one-way and ebb-and-flow variants. Requires the socketlib module to be installed and active.
• Compendium. A vast archive of Professions, Spells, Weapons and more, straight from the book!
• Homebrew. Fancy yourself creative? Well, good, because this game system was built from the ground-up thinking about homebrew support! Adding new Professions, Spells, Trappings or whatever else your mind comes up with is super easy!
• Much, much more...

Everything you need to play grim characters in a perilous world!

Module Support

"Yeah, that's all great, but does X module work with this system?" Great question! Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG supports many of the more popular system-agnostic modules that the FoundryVTT community has to offer, among them Dice So Nice!, Health Estimate, Polyglot and GM Screen. If you find a specific system-agnostic module not working, feel free to reach out to the developers and we'll look into it!

Roadmap & Community Feedback

Although Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG implements all core functionalities required for running a game, we're still working hard to improve its usability by adding further automations and Quality of Life features, such as:

• Active Effects. Buffs, debuffs and conditional effects.
• Combat Tracker Overhaul. Track your remaining Action Points and your Peril and Damage Condition Tracks.
• Wilderness Travel & Chase Scene Trackers. Speed up gameplay with these handy applications!
• Themes. Support for custom color schemes for the system.
• ✅ Localization. Support for non-English languages. Hablas Español?
• ✅ Beastiary. The final hurdle to a complete Compendium.

The above list is incomplete and prone to change. While the primary driver for development is our own use of the system, we also acknowledge that community feedback is very valuable. As such, if you'd like us to develop a new feature, feel free to start a new discussion. Otherwise, if something isn't working like it should, you can file a new bug report. Please take the time to read the template prompts and give as much contextual information as possible.

zweihander's Issues

Refactor system to support i18n.

https://trello.com/c/kLLjzy7O/99-refactor-system-to-support-i18n

Internationalization would make the system more accessible to a wider range of users.

Implement Fortune/Misfortune tracker.

https://trello.com/c/CBLa0jWR/47-implement-fortune-misfortune-tracker

Zweihänder makes heavy use of the Fortune/Misfortune meta-currency. A way to easily track these resources should be implemented, possibly by extending the Application class.

Implement world-wide trait/talent lookup

https://trello.com/c/lTcqb5gV/82-implement-world-wide-trait-talent-lookup

In order to support homebrew talents & traits in professions without the need to unlock and edit the system compediums, we need to implement a world-wide lookup for those embedded items.

Reset profession advances on drag & drop

https://trello.com/c/Iv4G8CGb/103-reset-profession-advances-on-drag-drop

Currently, if you drag a profession from the item sheet to the side bar and then to another actor, the advances will be displayed as purchased in the item summary, but they are actually not purchased for the actor.
Purely visual bug as far as I can tell, but still confusing for users.

Implement a Tag system, allowing tagged Items to be shown before a roll if their tag is relevant.

https://trello.com/c/B9fFS70I/63-implement-a-tag-system-allowing-tagged-items-to-be-shown-before-a-roll-if-their-tag-is-relevant

Some Items provide character with benefits during a roll. A way to display said Items as a reminder to users of their relevancy would be a nice feature.

Add the ability to randomly roll a character.

https://trello.com/c/rlVHdqsT/36-add-the-ability-to-randomly-roll-a-character

Zweihänder is a game that allows for completely random characters. As such, the process for this can become tedious as the players drag and drop Item after Item onto their sheets. Adding a command, e.g. /generateRandomCharacter would allow for a fast and streamlined way that would finish the whole process in a fraction of a second.

Add foundryvtt-socketlib to the manifest.

https://trello.com/c/1YbYVyCo/95-add-foundryvtt-socketlib-to-the-manifest

It is a module dependency and should be present in the manifest.

Implement sheet rolls.

https://trello.com/c/chEf6AoN/19-implement-sheet-rolls

Provide an easy way to make rolls from the character sheet. Skills, Spells and Weapons each require a dialog of their own.

Fix applying incorrect penalty when character falls down the Peril Condition Track.

https://trello.com/c/jbMz0sDl/60-fix-applying-incorrect-penalty-when-character-falls-down-the-peril-condition-track

If a character has e.g. 2 Skill Ranks, and falls to 'Ignore 3 Skill Ranks,' an incorrect penalty of -30% is applied. Same for 1 Skill Rank and 'Ignore 2 Skill Ranks.'

Fix label under Damage Threshold Modifier.

https://trello.com/c/HzyC1980/93-fix-label-under-damage-threshold-modifier

The label under Damage Threshold Modifier currently reads [BB]+3. This is incorrect. It should read [BB]+, e.g. [BB]+0 for a character with no armor.

Fix Flip to Fail / Succeed functionality.

https://trello.com/c/vwkHZlAr/62-fix-flip-to-fail-succeed-functionality

When flipping a roll to fail / succeed, the worst result should be kept. E.g. when the Total Chance is 50, and the roll is 20, flipping to fail should yield 02, which is a worse result due to how Degrees of Success work.

Fix Item name not displaying during deletion Dialog.

https://trello.com/c/3xk4W0L0/67-fix-item-name-not-displaying-during-deletion-dialog

Item names that have rolls attached will not display, since the responsible listener is looking for <span>, but the elements are <a>.

Fix automatic tier assignment when creating Profession from inside the Sheet.

https://trello.com/c/sHW3jXvA/51-fix-automatic-tier-assignment-when-creating-profession-from-inside-the-sheet

When an embedded Profession Item is created, a tier is automatically assigned to it, e.g. 'Basic'. This assignment does not appear to be persisting if the Profession is created from within the Actor sheet (using the '+' button).

Fix template data for Spell Critical Successes and Failures.

https://trello.com/c/5VXwKtcQ/65-fix-template-data-for-spell-critical-successes-and-failures

Spell data for Critical Success and Failures is currently mapped to effect.critical*.value. This is incorrect, as it should be mapped to effect.critical*.

Text overflow in input fields should be ellipsis.

https://trello.com/c/Te4XeCNr/89-text-overflow-in-input-fields-should-be-ellipsis

Currently, any text in input fields (e.g. name) simply gets cut off. In order to provide a better experience, these inputs should use "..." instead. Example:

WRONG Name: Sigrid Ute Rabensch
RIGHT Name: Sigrid Ute Rabensch...

Upgrade system to FoundryVTT V9.

https://trello.com/c/FPQofsMJ/109-upgrade-system-to-foundryvtt-v9

The system should be upgraded to V9 when the stable version releases. We should not continue maintaining 0.8.9 for much longer after that point.

Changes that impact the system:

• prepareEmbeddedEntities has been changed to prepareEmbeddedDocuments.

Implement a pre-selection of Spell difficulty.

https://trello.com/c/P9qiEV8t/64-implement-a-pre-selection-of-spell-difficulty

Zweihänder has default difficulties for certain Principles of Magick, therefore, a way for the pre-selection of said difficulties upon rendering of the configuration Dialog should be implemented. For example, Petty spells are Routine +10% by default. However, the option for changing these due to GM fiat should still be present.

Implement 'Sheet Options' tab.

https://trello.com/c/xHFo5rl6/24-implement-sheet-options-tab

Zweihänder has many unique mechanics such as the Bonepicker's Professional Trait, which allows a player to swap their WB for BB for purposes of calculating their Peril Threshold. It would be too cumbersome (and contrary to the system's philosophy of homebrew support) to create an exception for each individual Profession, Talent, etc. Therefore, a 'Sheet Options' page should be implemented where a player will be easily able to pick e.g. what Primary Attribute a Threshold is calculated off of, among other options.

Add support for Macro Bar drag & drop.

https://trello.com/c/EJEAAGdP/78-add-support-for-macro-bar-drag-drop

Implementing this feature would allow players to e.g. drag their favored weapon attack to the Macro Bar for quick access, allowing them to make certain rolls without opening the character sheet, thus speeding up play.

Peril Threshold calculated incorrectly.

https://trello.com/c/zThEPzSa/74-peril-threshold-calculated-incorrectly

Page 59 Player's Handbook.

Implement a way to apply Peril and Damage to targeted character(s).

https://trello.com/c/MYsEJYuk/83-implement-a-way-to-apply-peril-and-damage-to-targeted-characters

FoundryVTT has a targeting functionality that can become useful in swiftening play. Examples:

• After rolling for damage, clicking on a button in the Chat Message will apply the damage to the targeted character.
• After rolling a spell that applies 2d10+2 Peril, target multiple characters on a map. Roll for Peril; clicking on a button in the Chat Message will apply it to all targeted characters.

Fix incorrect restoration of toggle states.

https://trello.com/c/HXZ4bop9/58-fix-incorrect-restoration-of-toggle-states

When a description is toggled open, and an item is added to the sheet, it may result in an incorrect restoration of the toggle states.

Implement new item sheet designs

https://trello.com/c/n7eKrPjO/77-implement-new-item-sheet-designs

Fix Traits and Talents alternating color when there are unpurchased Talents.

https://trello.com/c/0qLWqFrq/55-fix-traits-and-talents-alternating-color-when-there-are-unpurchased-talents

Unpurchased Talents cause the oddOrEven Handlebars Helper to skip certain indexes, resulting in mismatched alternating colors.

Fix Skill Rank display when entering Intermediate or Advanced Tiers.

https://trello.com/c/DWoo4LZw/57-fix-skill-rank-display-when-entering-intermediate-or-advanced-tiers

When entering the Intermediate or Advanced Tiers, the display of purchased Skill Ranks on the character sheet breaks.

Utility helper `findItemsWorldWide` should be awaited.

https://trello.com/c/VvqjHlXi/90-utility-helper-finditemsworldwide-should-be-awaited

async methods such as findItemsWorldWide should always be awaited to prevent inconsistent behavior.

Fix incorrect deletion of Profession Talents, Traits and Drawbacks during update when another Profession has the same Items.

https://trello.com/c/83tGQkra/56-fix-incorrect-deletion-of-profession-talents-traits-and-drawbacks-during-update-when-another-profession-has-the-same-items

When updating e.g. the Talents field of a Profession, an Item to be removed will not be checked against previous Tiers. This is incorrect behavior, as it should not be removed if a previous Tier has the same Item.

Add price to all trapping type item sheets

https://trello.com/c/TKthU0Ok/86-add-price-to-all-trapping-type-item-sheets

Add a minimalistic character sheet for using it with the GM Screen module

https://trello.com/c/9rAU3czo/88-add-a-minimalistic-character-sheet-for-using-it-with-the-gm-screen-module

Make the Sheet appear damaged as the character goes down the Peril and Damage Condition Tracks.

https://trello.com/c/OUTFVjYM/45-make-the-sheet-appear-damaged-as-the-character-goes-down-the-peril-and-damage-condition-tracks

As the character goes down the Peril and Damage Condition Tracks, the sheet should appear more worn and bloody, giving a visual indication of the character's current state.

Refactor Item creation inside Hooks.

https://trello.com/c/HD41UWIt/53-refactor-item-creation-inside-hooks

The current implementation of adding Skill Items to an Actor might lead to inconsistent behavior and race conditions and should be refactored into the _preCreateActor() method of the Actor class.

Implement damage options for weapons.

https://trello.com/c/5AtSB4Sj/69-implement-damage-options-for-weapons

Zweihänder is a complex game full of exceptions to the rule. The default damage formula, for example, is 1d6x6; however, weapons with the 'Gunpowder' quality, also explode on a roll of '1.' Some weapon qualities also allow the wielder to use a different Primary Attribute Bonus instead of the default [CB], such as [BB].

A way to easily allow these options to be selected by the users should be implemented.

Add the ability to skip purchasing advances by clicking the 'Completed' checkbox in a Profession Item.

https://trello.com/c/LMcbP7Vj/54-add-the-ability-to-skip-purchasing-advances-by-clicking-the-completed-checkbox-in-a-profession-item

Sometimes users might wish to begin play at a higher tier than Basic. Allowing them to swiftly purchase everything in previous tiers by simply toggling the Profession Item's completed attribute would be a nice feature.

Fix Movement and Initiative labels being swapped.

https://trello.com/c/SYzorDHq/104-fix-movement-and-initiative-labels-being-swapped

The labels for Movement and Initiative appear to be swapped.

Add the ability to flip roll results.

https://trello.com/c/j3oqnKe8/61-add-the-ability-to-flip-roll-results

Zweihänder makes heavy use of the ability to "flip" rolls (invert digits). A button should be added to the Chat cards that allows for this.

Implement the Manifest+ specification.

https://trello.com/c/9UYhjyml/96-implement-the-manifest-specification

Fix static bonuses not applying on Weapon damage formulas.

https://trello.com/c/bJbJYmW5/85-fix-static-bonuses-not-applying-on-weapon-damage-formulas

Currently, damage formulas such as 1d6x6 + 1 do not recognize the static bonuses. This should be fixed, possibly by adding an additional input field to the Weapon sheet (seems the easiest way).

Implement auto-replacing Zweihänder bonus abbreviations with data paths

https://trello.com/c/wddGXQq2/87-implement-auto-replacing-zweih%C3%A4nder-bonus-abbreviations-with-data-paths

Integrate Active Effects into the system.

https://trello.com/c/MmDvJV5w/66-integrate-active-effects-into-the-system

A lot of Items should be able to modify an Actor's stats, e.g. a Spell modifying Initiative. For this purpose, Active Effects should be used.

Research better method to set flags upon creation

https://trello.com/c/zX0iooZh/100-research-better-method-to-set-flags-upon-creation

Currently what happens seems like a hack. Maybe foundry has a better way to offer for this as it seems to be a common requirement.

Implement a custom FuryDie class that overrides the base Die class, allowing for dice to explode on multiple numbers.

https://trello.com/c/v2RkMNgY/70-implement-a-custom-furydie-class-that-overrides-the-base-die-class-allowing-for-dice-to-explode-on-multiple-numbers

The current roll syntax does not allow for dice exploding on more than a single value, e.g. rolling 1d6 and exploding on a 1 or a 6. A custom FuryDice class should be implemented that allows for this behavior, e.g. 1d6x{1, 6}.

Lock advance purchases upon Profession completion.

https://trello.com/c/NVdzxmt7/72-lock-advance-purchases-upon-profession-completion

The purchase of Profession advances should be locked when a Tier is completed to prevent odd behavior.

Implement currency exchange calculator.

https://trello.com/c/oWFRBehh/9-implement-currency-exchange-calculator

A simple calculator accessible through a button on the 'Trappings' page that would allow a player to convert their currency between brass, silver and gold.

Automatically prompt the user to manually change a Profession Item when it has the same Talents as a previous Profession.

https://trello.com/c/lgzfJrw8/92-automatically-prompt-the-user-to-manually-change-a-profession-item-when-it-has-the-same-talents-as-a-previous-profession

When a Profession has the same Talent as another from a lower tier, the player and GM are supposed to work together to come to a consensus in replacing it with something else. In order to avoid weird behavior, we should either:

1. Automatically delete a Talent from a Profession Item when we detect the presence of the same Talent in a previous tier.
2. Automatically prompt the player to change the list of Talents for that Profession Item.

Automatically track Reward Points and their expenditure.

https://trello.com/c/KQ0ykz59/15-automatically-track-reward-points-and-their-expenditure

If implemented, should be done as an optional feature to support homebrew.

Refactor actor.js

https://trello.com/c/0GeQbXN1/98-refactor-actorjs

• split up handling of different actor types into different helper classes
• enforce distinction between base data and derived data in the data model
  • this will make it easier to tell anywhere whether a value is pure (i.e. as-is in database) or has been modified/calculated
  • after this, all derived data should live in [...].data.derived

Fix skill ranks not being removed on Profession deletion.

https://trello.com/c/hSVlxJNm/71-fix-skill-ranks-not-being-removed-on-profession-deletion

When a Profession Item is deleted, all Skill Ranks purchased as part of that Profession should be reset. This currently does not happen.

Add the ability to randomly roll an Injury, Disease or Disorder.

https://trello.com/c/YG5XSIHi/38-add-the-ability-to-randomly-roll-an-injury-disease-or-disorder

Zweihänder rules often times rely on tables to randomly assign an Injury, Disease or Disorder. Adding a button that would emulate this process on the Actor sheet would be a nice QoL feature to swiften play.

Add a button to open Compendium when creating Items.

https://trello.com/c/DH1gjwdY/73-add-a-button-to-open-compendium-when-creating-items

The current Foundry workflow requires users to open the compendium in order to add many of Zweihänder's Items to their character. If Compendiums could be opened from the sheet itself, a lot of time would be saved.

Prevent Talents and Traits from being created on an Actor when they don't meet Tier requirements.

https://trello.com/c/0iWssAHl/91-prevent-talents-and-traits-from-being-created-on-an-actor-when-they-dont-meet-tier-requirements

Currently, when a character has not completed a Tier and drags a second (or third) Profession onto their sheet, Professional Traits and Talents (and possibly Drawbacks) are created. This is incorrect behavior, and the creation of these Items should be prevented in the respective hook.
