Automate spell and miracle energy deductions from character sheets so players never manually calculate costs after casting.
Pre-fill combat roll dialogs with the correct bonuses and penalties from active traits and status effects before each roll.
Toggle individual automation features on or off so your group decides which Das Schwarze Auge rules to handle manually.
Requires FoundryVTT with the GDSA system already installed, this module adds on top of that existing community system.
This is an extension module for FoundryVTT, a virtual tabletop application used to run tabletop roleplaying games online. Specifically, it is designed for Das Schwarze Auge (translated as The Dark Eye), a German fantasy roleplaying game, version 4.1. The module works on top of another community-made system called GDSA and adds a large set of automation and quality-of-life improvements for players and game masters running that ruleset. The core focus is automating combat rules that would otherwise require manual calculation. When a player clicks a special ability on their character sheet, the module opens a dialog with the relevant options already filled in. Specific unarmed and armed combat techniques, each with German names drawn from the ruleset, are handled by the module rather than the player having to look them up and apply modifiers by hand. It also corrects a bug in the base system where a certain initiative bonus should be disabled when a character is carrying too much weight. The module tracks magic resource costs automatically. When a spell, liturgy, or miracle is cast, the module reads the result from the chat log and deducts the correct amount of energy from the character sheet, applying reduced costs for failures and permanent burnout for high-tier miracles as the rulebook specifies. Fatigue and overexertion are tracked similarly, with the module applying temporary stat penalties when a character crosses the exhaustion threshold. Other features include pre-filling roll dialogs with bonuses and penalties from a character's active traits and status effects before the roll happens, a tooltip system that shows descriptions of abilities when you hover over them and can be pinned in place by middle-clicking, improvements to how NPC and monster sheets behave, and persistent buttons in chat messages that apply damage fractions even after a page reload. Every automated feature can be turned on or off individually through the module settings, giving groups control over which rules they want handled automatically and which they prefer to manage themselves.
