Rules Lawyer Guide to Foundry, Part 2: PF2e Workbench, PF2e Toolbelt, Monk's Combat Details

[@SigurdBraathen]

So useful! - You crit succeeded your Aid action :)

[@TheRulesLawyerRPG]

ADDITIONS/ERRATA: - 1:20 I BELIEVE Forien's Copy Environment no longer copies the calendar date between Worlds by default. I created an issue on Github and thought they responded but don't see my issue anymore(?) -"Force Client Settings" is a promising-looking module that lets you force (or at least set default) client settings for players

[@justingrover8416]

Are you going to be a making a video on Paizo's revocation of the Community Use Policy and the strife in the forums about this? Love your videos!

[@asclepeus-games]

I use Monk's Player Settings for that sort of effect.

[@blueThumbnail]

I love that Megan has her own player token

[@xyzzy42]

8:11 The persistent damage and healing settings are now world automation settings. While they were supposed to be client settings, that didn't actually work correctly, and the GM's setting was used for all players. It was more complex than that, but not usefully. No one seemed to notice this problem, leading me to believe that per-user control wasn't really used by anyone. So rather than fix it, which would have been complicated, I just made them world settings.

22:42 Just tested the sounds in Monk's Combat Details. It seems everyone hears the "new round" sound but not the "next turn" sound, it's GM only. These sounds are actually quite subtle and covered up by the "Core" audio cues if you have those on.

[@SamAllmon]

I'm so glad you made this! I had followed along with your live streamed one to set up our server, but then the most recent PF2 System update broke a lot of it, and I was just about to blow it up and restart, and now you have a guide for just that!

[@SamuraiMujuru]

Another "keep oponents distinct" tool I like to use is "Token Color", which adds the ability to add a colored dot/s to the token ala Roll20. Since I mostly use foundry as a battle map for in person players it makes targeting easier. "I want to move next to Red", etc

[@ecothunderbolt257]

Oooh. This is exactly what I said I was needing the other day.

[@timjohnson2533]

This just helped me immensely. Especially scaling various enemies/NPC's.

[@duncbot9000]

Ooooh the Scale to Level of workbench is nifty. The mod "PF2e See Simple Scale Statistics" colours monster stats based on if it is comparatively high or low for the level and might be useful to tell at-a-glance if the math breaks when Scaling monster level

[@uggron666]

21:38 Your "hide enemies" setting for monk's combat details might be conflicting with similar settings from the combat carousel module. Haven't tested it myself yet though.

[@lyracian]

I will try Combat Detail and the hiding token names looks useful. I had not noticed that feature.

[@messyb2071]

The workbench basic action macro is a game changer for me and my players

[@kindred84]

Try PF2E Hud instead. I used to use the BAM, but the hud skill button is better, imo.

[@ederys_delxyde]

Thank you Ronald for all your hard and good work :D (I have more than 250 modules for my PF2e Foundry, send help)

[@gglovato]

fascinating i'm seriously going to use this

[@ryansalmon6507]

Force client settings is a v useful tool for a gm! I use it enforce the automation I need.

[@MrMrkman98]

Do players need to download these modules or just the foundry owner? I'm brand new to foundry.

[@Vulpys254]

Sadly I don't have the NPC Level Scaler, even tought I use workbench..... strange. Is it somewhere in the option I don't find?

[@heenmancha]

Nice videos, bro

[@lucascorrea7420]

Amazing!

[@HsingaiAltaica]

BAMN is a Nonprofit right? Can we write of the money we give as a donation of your time to BAMN? I guess we would need to talk to a lawyer about that.

[@ultimateprogamer5843]

I'd like to see you make a more player focused version of this video going over modules for Foundry and how to make Foundry more Mobile friendly for those that lack a PC but still wish to use a VTT.

[@jonmimir]

Have you found anything for adding panache for a remastered swashbuckler yet?

[@TheRulesLawyerRPG]

There should be an effect (a red rectangle) in the Panache feature when it is outputted to chat, that you can drag to a token or put in your hotkey bar

[@jonmimir]

@@TheRulesLawyerRPGawesome, thank you so much! Love your work on this btw.

[@jonmimir]

@@TheRulesLawyerRPGone suggestion for a video - how to persuade a reluctant player that Foundry isn’t scary and awkward to use 😅

[@AKA_Kira]

​@@jonmimira hard sell lol, I would love this too as I have one player insistent on pen and paper, and while I know this person wouldn't, I have a stigma against pen and paper users, as it feels like they are hiding something they know is wrong (several bad previous groups where this occurred)

[@akkristor]

This is a weird offtopic question but what kind of shelves are those in your videos? I'm looking for shelves for my gameroom, and those look perfect to fit most everything (Except probably Gloomhaven and Frosthaven)

[@TheRulesLawyerRPG]

Ikea Kallax shelves

[@frankgonzalez7432]

Thoughts on the upcoming TTRPG of Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere series?

[@AKA_Kira]

It's fun played a but of the beta

[@frankgonzalez7432]

@@AKA_Kira what system does it use? I bet it’s leagues different than PF 2E or DND 5E….

[@AlexM-is6ru]

@@frankgonzalez7432 D20 based but has it's own system. From the kickstarter: "It combines a core of d20-based mechanics with purpose-built innovations including talent trees, skill-based magic, and the 'plot die.'"
