GM Tools
The GM Tools are available from the left hand scene tools in Foundry. The icon is a spanner and screwdriver.
The current tools are:
When activated the GM will be presented with a dialog box asking for
- A title for the award (e.g. Feast Glory)
- The amount of glory for each character (all in game characters are listed).
Any awards of zero are ignored. For non-zero awards a history item is added to the relevant character.
Clicking on this will toggle the Winter Phase off or on (you will get a message at the top of the screen saying what the status is).
Opening the Winter Phase does several things:
It creates a new History event for each character adding their passive Glory Total. The event is called "Winter Phase" and has the current Game Year shown (i.e. before the increase)
Activates the Winter Tab for all characters allowing them to carry out development (See Winter Phase for more details).
Closing the Winter Phase
The Game Year is increased by 1 (which in turn adds 1 to the characters' ages)
Winter Phase is turned off for all actors and so they lose access to the Winter Tab on their character sheets
See [Winter Phase] for more information
This toggles the Winter Tab on and off for characters but without changing their age, the Game Year or adding a history event.
It will however reset the training status and will allow characters to improve skills, characteristics, passions and traits.
See [Winter Phase] for more details of how to advance your character.
Toggling this on activates the character generation wizard. You can see more detail about this in [Character Creation]
This tool allows the GM to make a roll without having an actor. You'll be asked to:
-
Select the Roll Type
-
Enter a participant name (which appears on the chat card)
-
Enter the score you are rolling against
The system will then follow the normal roll procedures. There is also a macro included so the GM can add this to their hotbar.
Battle Encounters can be flagged as used, but an Encounter can be included in multiple Battles.
This tool will reset all Battle Encounters in the Game World (not in Compendia) to 'unused' status.
These two options increase/decrease the Game Year by one. This will update the year shown at the top of the screen and, if appropriate, change the name of the current period.
When clicked you will get a dialog box where you can enter the game year, rather than having to click the increase/decrease buttons.
Restarting the game (including F5) will turn off the phases. If Winter Phase was active and you restart the game it will be turned off but the Game Year will not be advanced. You can always correct the year manually via the GM tools.
