Active Effects

Invincible is a game where powers, talents and gears can give some kind of bonus to the player. Because of all the possibilities available for the players, we decided to use the native Active Effects system from Foundry to allow you to do that. You will find below information on how to use that.

Note

The Active Effects are mainly used for "passive" cases, like you getting a +X bonus to roll Fighting.
Attacks and simple roll cases should be handled using the available automations.

To facilitate, the Active Effect field will show a list with the most common fields you will use. You can still you use any field from the character sheet.

Keep in mind that changes in system.attributes.[attribute] will affect the derived stats, like Health and Resolve. If you want to only give bonus to the rolls, without changing the original attribute value, use bonus.[attribute].

Locked fields

Whenever you have an Active Effect changing a field, it will be presented with a lightyellow color, and disabled. This mean that you will not be able to change the value while the effect is applied. You can see the example below, where the talent Super Strength gives a +2 to the Fighting attribute.

For cases like that, we recommend you add the Toggle Active Effect Automation. This will allow you to enable/disable the active effect by simply clicking on the name on the sheet.

If you don't fill the Active Effect Id, the Automation will get the effect from the item itself.

If your effect has some stress cost, you can add it to the Automation. It will automatically apply the stress when you activate/deactivate the effect.
