Design Goals

• As many stats/fields as possible should be auto calculated

• Support teporary statuses

  • e.g. Broken Leg -2 str
  • underwater +2 perception

• Support Items, including modifiers

  • +2 strength belt

• One click spell resource tracking

  • works for skills too

• long/short rests

• quick change equipment loadouts

• update party members with result of spells

  • send inspiration to another player and have it render a stat bonus on their sheet

• Allow for DM to manage

  • players
    • gift items
    • impose status effects
    • signal levelup
    • long/short rest
    • overide stats
      • done through the use of temporary statuses?
      • e.g. Suffocating pressence of Zura, perception is 1
  • Items
    • create items and hand them out whenever needed
  • Encounters
    • track initiave
    • create and manage monster stat blocks
  • classes/features
    • create custom classes and share with players in campaign
    • make custom spells or abilities available
      • pressence / ion stones

Implementation Ideas

• All players/items/classes/monsters/campaigns/users will have a UUID to be referneced anywhere
• 3 tables to handle the stat dependancy tree
  • Node table
    • holds values
    • Things like Strength, Wisdom, BAB
  • Edges table
    • holds dependencies
    • e.g. Strength --> Strength Modifier
  • Calc table
    • holds calculation methods for nodes
    • e.g. Str Mod. = (Base Strength + Strength Modifiers - 10) / 2
      • (I know this is the wrong formula)

Potential config formats for classes

version A

stats:
    levels:
        total: sum(classes)
        classes:
            - monk: static
    base_strength: static
    temp_strength: static
    calculated_strength:
        - condition: if set temp_strength
          formula: temp_strength + sum(strength_modifiers)
        - formula: base_strength + sum(strength_modifiers)
    strength_modifier: calculated_strength / 2 - 5
    bab: for each class - floor(sum(class_bab * class_lvl))
    
attack_unarmed:
    tags: unarmed
    attack: bab + strength_modifier
    damage: 1d10
attack_fob:
    tags: unarmed
    attack: level.monk - 2
    damage: 1d10

version B

    strength_modifier:
        sub:
            div:
                field: calculated_strength
                value: 2
            value: 5
    bab:
        floor:
            sum_prod:
                - class_bab
                - class_lvl
