FoundryVTT - Forien's Armoury

[Current version]: v0.2.3
[Compatibility]: FoundryVTT 0.6.0+, WFRP4e 1.5.5+

This module is a collection of custom trappings and features for Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play 4th edition game system for Foundry Virtual Table Top

Notable changes in v0.2.*

  • Extended Arrow Recovery system with more rules
  • Added new qualities and flaws to use with projectiles:
    • Unbreakable (used extisting quality) – projectiles is always recovered, bypassing rules, as long as it is recoverable (settings/quailities)
    • Recoverable – projectile can be recovered, even if settings won't allow it
    • Unrecoverable – projectile always perishes, will never be recovered
    • Sturdy – projectile is sturdy and easier to recover
    • Frail – projectile breaks easily and is harder to recover
    • Hard To Find – projectile is hard to find, if it would be recovered, roll again with -10 modifier
  • Added new qualities and flaws to some items in compendium
  • Added variants for lead and stone bullets that use projectile qualities and flaws
  • Under DasSauerkraut's permission, integrated Gerwin Waffenhalter’s Magnificent Weapons Gallery weapons and slashing quality
  • Added automation for applying Bleed Conditions upon hit with Slashing weapon
  • Prepared groundwork for translation using Babele to any language
  • Started translating Forien's Armoury compendium to Polish (all names and most descriptions done)

Contents

Features

This module allows GMs to enable an "arrow reclamation feature", which allows for some portion of ammunition (arrows, bolts and sling bullets) to be returned to players after an encounter. Defaults to even rolls. Must be enabled.

  • 2 projectile Qualities and 3 projectile Flaws are also added to work with the feature

There is currently bug with returning arrows outside of "encounter", so I disabled that.
Currently only works with encounter. Remember to delete encounter to return arrows.

Compendiums

Module contains single Compendium pack containing at the moment 34 items.

  • Added Gambesons as an alternative to Leather armour
  • Rebalanced Leather armour (is more expensive than Gambesons, but Durable)
  • Added boiled Leather Bracers
  • Added Cuirass (basically Plate Breastplate)
  • Added Breastplate (covers front only)
  • Added various Arrow types: Bodkin, Hunting, Leaf, Military, Shoddy — where Military replaces vanilla Arrow
  • Added various Bolt types: Bodkin, Broad, Hunting, Needle, Standard — where Standard replaces vanilla Bolt
  • Added Cracker Bullet for Sling (Blast 2 ammo)
  • Added generic Ingredient item entities, one for each tradition.

Future plans

Features

  • fix out-of-encounter bug with arrow reclamation
  • add private chat messages for arrow owners (and GMs) after encounter - for clarity
  • add checkboxes in weapon test dialog that would allow to override arrow recovery system

Content

  • Translating Compendium to Polish using Babele
  • Maybe some non-combat trappings as well
  • Create specific ingredients instead of generic ones
