Bestiary for Summoners and apply auto effects

[dcpc007]

Hi, i'm trying to use FoundryVTT to manage my Malconvoker summoner (Scoundrel p48), and all monsters/tokens with buffs.

Starting to implement as near all is not SRD, but many tasks to do and looking for help/exchange.

I have my instance as test. Feel free to participate.
Discussions on Discord, and look here for specific points and how to do. Hope it could helps for docs or ideas of dev.

What is complicated as i understand is to apply the effects of my variant wizard and malconvoker features on summoned creatures.

I try to put several examples in replies, that seems of the same concepts for me. we'll split if not the same solutions.

Looking at Malconvoker first feature :
(Scoundrel p.48), do you think a part can be configured/automated or only create description and manage manually ?
I think something like :

• after create the token in game
• have a button to make the opposite check while targeting this token
• if success : change duration (:grey_question: if duration of summoned tokens can be managed)
• if small fail : nothing
• if big fail : change color to hostile
  (+ chat message in any case to show the result ; player + GM only ?)
  (Other modifiers will be applied later when this check succeed)

another one class feature : if a check success, i can apply a boost on a summoned creature (the level 4th and 7th of the same feature).
Easier to implement ? or same, need to do all manually ?

Another idea i have currently : create the buff, add in each monster of my bestiary (terrible job), have them active by default (should be the case), and if i fail my check, i go to disable it on my token.
--> Problem : when i change level, i must modify ALL my bestiary to add/activate the new effect possible !!!!
Or maybe i could have a "meta-feature", that include buffs only if i have the level.
Then i could manually apply ONE effect on the creature, and the effect apply the sub-features depending on the level ?
