Features

The game system provides the following automations, with optional to disable most of them:

Combat:

• Roll attack, damage, and direct damage from the sheet or chat buttons
• Add weapon attack/damage bonuses and set custom damage dice per weapon
• Weapons break on a natural 1, or after using a power attack
• Roll number appearing for each monster in either dungeon or wilderness
• Maneuver reminder trigger on rolls >= 21
• Monsters roll with level, half-level, or 0
• Roll morale checks for both monsters & recruits
• Spellbooks can only be cast once per rest

Slots & Items:

• Character's maximum slots reduces upon receiving wounds
• Coins and ammo auto-calculate their slot value
• Items in wounded/overencumbered slots cannot be used
• Items can be dragged between sheets, and will automatically stack
• Light sources can be customized and turned on/off from the sheet*

*requires Token Vision enabled on the Scene

Custom Levels & XP

knave2e supports custom level XP, levels beyond 1-10, and custom level labels. These are defined as a single JSON structure:

{
    "1": {
        "xp": 0,
        "label": "Wretch"
    },
    "2": {
        "xp": 2000,
        "label": "Lowlife"
    },
    "3": {
        "xp": 4000,
        "label": "Hoodlum"
    },
    "4": {
        "xp": 8000,
        "label": "Fool"
    },
    "5": {
        "xp": 16000,
        "label": "Dastard"
    },
    "6": {
        "xp": 32000,
        "label": "Cad"
    },
    "7": {
        "xp": 640000,
        "label": "Gadabout"
    },
    "8": {
        "xp": 125000,
        "label": "Rogue"
    },
    "9": {
        "xp": 250000,
        "label": "Jack"
    },
    "10": {
        "xp": 5000000,
        "label": "Knave"
    }
}

This is represented in the in-game settings as a single string:

{"1":{"xp":0,"label":"Wretch"},"2":{"xp":2000,"label":"Lowlife"},"3":{"xp":4000,"label":"Hoodlum"},"4":{"xp":8000,"label":"Fool"},"5":{"xp":16000,"label":"Dastard"},"6":{"xp":32000,"label":"Cad"},"7":{"xp":64000,"label":"Gadabout"},"8":{"xp":125000,"label":"Rogue"},"9":{"xp":250000,"label":"Jack"},"10":{"xp":500000,"label":"Knave"}}

You can add/modify levels easily by editing this string. Here's an example that adds an 11th level called "Questing Beast", which requires 1,000,000 XP:

{"1":{"xp":0,"label":"Wretch"},"2":{"xp":2000,"label":"Lowlife"},"3":{"xp":4000,"label":"Hoodlum"},"4":{"xp":8000,"label":"Fool"},"5":{"xp":16000,"label":"Dastard"},"6":{"xp":32000,"label":"Cad"},"7":{"xp":64000,"label":"Gadabout"},"8":{"xp":125000,"label":"Rogue"},"9":{"xp":250000,"label":"Jack"},"10":{"xp":500000,"label":"Knave"},"11":{"xp":1000000,"label":"Questing Beast"}}
