Coming Soon: New DMFI RP Rolls

Unread post by Rhifox »

In the Time of Troubles patch later this month, the DMFI hotbar will be expanded with a new button: Actions. DMFI actions expands the options for RP rolls from skills/abilities/saving throws to also include initiative, mainhand and offhand attack rolls, and displaying your armor class and current/maximum hitpoints. This function will also eventually include damage rolls, healing rolls, and the ability to temporarily disable regeneration effects on the PC (DMs will also have access to this option for DM events where attrition is important for the scene). DMFI skill rolls will also eventually be updated to allow choosing what attribute to use when rolling a skill, as well as opposed skill rolls.

Future additions to this system will include other combat actions, spell cards, and so on.

ooooh, so it will automatically make opposed checks and stuff for RP-hits without actually having to engage with the engine? So we make the roll and can pose off the actual note that says "so and so Melee yadda yadda and hit"?

Yup!
And there isn't actually any, like... damage rolls, it's just RP rolls that we can use or not use like we have now... only more detailed...?

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yes, damage rolls are done separately. There's no good damage roll function yet, so that's for the future, but eventually you'll be able to actually deal damage in an 'emote fight' by rolling your damage after rolling your attacks.

I'm not seeing the close button on the screenshots, is it by design? Would be nice to have an option not to roll anything if you misclicked

I love it!

Looking forward to another 14 page thread on how it impedes people's roleplay through arbitrary dice rolls rather than one person's choice to RP or not.

well, in theory, it would work just like our current dice system... by choice unless enforced by a DM. Someone wants to emote fight you or throw stuff or hatever, and you don't wanna engage in roll-offs... well, don't.
