This module is intended to hold a few features for the foundry vtt pf2e system that could well have been separate modules and may well be eaten by the system at some point.

My current ideas (as in, no guarantee they'll ever actually get done) can be seen here

A demo video of most features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzDq2N1X07s

• Mystification section

  • Enable NPC Mystification. Sets the name of a token on the current scene based on it's traits.
    • Numerous subsettings, for instance: if mystified by dragging it from the sidebar while holding the configured modifier key, clicking the mystify button in the token hud or using the mystify keyboard shortcut (no default set). There are several options to filter out certain types of traits. A prefix or postfix can be added to the mystified name (either a user-provided word, or one rolled on a user-provided rollable table. A sample table named "Workbench Adjectives" is included with the module and need not be imported into the world, just enter "Workbench Adjectives" - without the quotes - in the appropriate textfield). A random number can also be added after the postfix, and optionally be kept when demystifying the creature. E.g. 'Skeletal Champion' could become 'Jack the Mindless Undead Skeleton 23'. Note that player owned tokens will not be mystified.
  • Option to use the mystified name in chat messages created from that npc (actions/spells). Relies on the original actor name being present in the text.

• Reminder section

  • Option to remind when attack is made by a token that probably can't attack (due to being unconscious / dead / defeated / has no hp / etc).
    • Option to allow Eidolons to attack even if they have 0 hp.
  • Option to remind when an attack is made without targeting.
  • Option to show reminder each turn that the number of actions is other than three. Handles Quickened, Slowed and Stunned.
  • Option to automatically add a reminder effect when breath weapons are used (i.e. sent to chat.) Breath weapon description must match "<p>.*can't use.*1d([46]) rounds.*</p>" or the localized equivalent for it to be recognized.
  • Hero point handler. Gives option to (using Configure Controls) add a keybind to open a dialog that can reset or add hero points for all characters, add one hero point to a random (or selected) character (on new timers only) and, most importantly, start a timer to make the dialog reappear after (by default) 60 minutes. Timer now survives refreshes. Reopen the dialog to see how much time remains (press escape to leave without changes).
    • Set number of minutes till the next time the dialog is shown.

• Quality of Life section

  • Option to add a creature builder button to npc character sheets, enabling building from scratch using the suggested values from the GMG (This feature has been taken over from the delisted https://github.com/Djphoenix719/FVTT-PF2EToolbox#creature-builder module. Thanks DJ!)
  • Option to add an npc scaler feature when right clicking on an npc (This feature has been taken over from the delisted https://github.com/Djphoenix719/FVTT-PF2EToolbox#npc-scaler module. Thanks DJ! At some point Avery will have the time to add it to the system, until then I'll maintain it.)
  • Option to add a quick roller button to the journal directory, enabling improvised npc rolls with no actual npc using the suggested values from the GMG (This feature has been taken over from the delisted https://github.com/Djphoenix719/FVTT-PF2EToolbox#quick-roller module. Thanks DJ!)
  • Option to hold control or shift to quickly increase/decrease item quantities by 5 or 10 ( from https://github.com/Djphoenix719/FVTT-PF2EToolbox)
  • Option to hold CTRL while casting a spell to cast it as a whispered chat message. Separate option to output a separate public chat message with a Recall Knowledge button to recognize it, an optional save button and an optional trait list, unless you hold CTRL+SHIFT to entirely skip this message.
  • Option to add a button to all npcs that sends the relevant Recall Knowledge checks to chat (for skills only, lores not handled yet).
    • Options to hide the npc token name and/or the skill name on the chat card.
    • Option to show spell traits in the chat card.
  • Option to alter the token animation speed. (Not compatible with Multi Level Tokens teleport functionality.)

• World Automation section

  • Option to automatically move combatant that goes to 0 hp to just before the current combatant. (Normally due to the current combatant just having downed the target combatant.) NOTE: Buggy for some people. If actors start moving around in iniative for no good reason, you're one of the 'lucky' ones that get this problem and should disable it until I manage to fix it.
  • Enable/disable the option to autoroll damage on a hit.
  • Enable/disable the option to automatically apply persistent healing.
  • Option to apply Encumbered condition automatically based on current bulk when bulk changes. Note: Uses the system code which considers 5 bulk + 9 light to not exceed 5 bulk.
  • Option to automatically reduce Stunned condition at the start of the turn hidden behind option to show actions reminder each turn, which handles Quickened, Slowed and Stunned.
  • Option automatically give Unconscious if Dying is removed when at 0 hp.
  • Option to automatically increase Wounded when Dying is removed (handles the feats Bounce Back and Numb to Death. Only works for players if they themself apply the damage/healing.
  • Option to automatically increase Dying on reaching 0 hp (handles the feats Orc Ferocity , Undying Ferocity , Incredible Ferocity , Rampaging Ferocity and partial handling of Deliberate Death)
  • Option to automatically remove Dying when healed to above 0 hp.

• Client Automation section

  • Optional settings to (if the GM allows it) automatically roll damage on a hit for strikes and/or spell attacks. Needs the PF2e system setting 'Show results on attacks and saves' to be set so that the attacker can see the result in the chat. (E.g. for non-gm use either 'Owner' or 'All'). It also rolls for damage if a miss is turned into a hit via a reroll on the chat card.
    • Strikes. On a critical success it rolls critical damage.
    • Spell attacks (incl support for heightened spells). On a critical success it rolls normal damage, use the ' double damage' button on the damage card.
    • Non-attack spells that deal damage (rolled when spell is cast, before saves, so targets need to manually apply the correct amount of damage based on save.) On a critical success it rolls normal damage, use the 'double damage' button on the damage card.
  • Optional settings to (if the GM allows it) automatically applying persistent damage (from the awesome Persistent Damage module) as well as the PF2e system's fast healing and regeneration (with an optional extra debug chat message) inspired by @Jamz' code.
  • Option to automatically reduce the Frightened condition at the end of each turn. See the included effect 'Effect: Dirge of Doom' for how to set a minimum frightened level that the module won't reduce below.

• Variant Rules

  • Option to change the max number of hero points a character can have. (This feature has been taken over from the delisted https://github.com/Djphoenix719/FVTT-PF2EToolbox module. Thanks DJ!)
  • Option to allow item bonuses when using ABP.

• No section

  • Optional setting to automatically collapse chat cards with an h3 header (intended for item cards like spells, feats, items, actions, etc). Can be configured to default to collapsed or expanded.
  • Option to either expand all damage cards, or only expand new cards. If the latter, on a refresh the last three messages are expanded if they are damage cards.
  • Option to add all skill actions to the character Actions page. (This feature has been taken over from the discontinued https://github.com/jamespdaily/pf2e-sheet-skill-actions/ module. Thanks James!)
    • The module will hide any skill actions that you're currently not trained in.
    • Actions that require a feat (e.g. Bon Mot) will not show up unless you actually have the feat.
  • Option to set a custom pause text and image, as well as to move it's position to center of screen.
  • A few potentially useful internal functions have been made available for macro use. Name and simple example of each can be found below:

        resetHeroPoints: resetHeroPoints, // game.PF2eWorkbench.resetHeroPoints(1)
        addHeroPoints: addHeroPoints, // game.PF2eWorkbench.addHeroPoints(1, "ALL") OR game.PF2eWorkbench.addHeroPoints(1, _token.actor.id)
        scaleNPCToLevelFromActor: scaleNPCToLevelFromActor, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.scaleNPCToLevelFromActor(_token.actor.id, 24);
        moveSelectedAheadOfCurrent: moveSelectedAheadOfCurrent, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.moveSelectedAheadOfCurrent(await game.combat?.getCombatantByToken(_token.id).id)
        doMystificationFromToken: doMystificationFromToken, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.doMystificationFromToken(_token.id, true) OR await game.PF2eWorkbench.doMystificationFromToken(_token.id, false)
        generateNameFromTraitsFromTokenId: generateNameFromTraitsForToken, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.generateNameFromTraitsFromTokenId(_token.id)
        noOrSuccessfulFlatcheck: noOrSuccessfulFlatcheck, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.noOrSuccessfulFlatcheck(game.messages.get("messageId"))
        basicActionMacros: basicActionMacros, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.basicActionMacros()
        refocus: refocus, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.refocus()
        callHeroPointHandler: callHeroPointHandler, // await game.PF2eWorkbench.callHeroPointHandler()

• New Keybinds in Configure Controls

  • Optional keybind to mystify a creature.
  • Optional keybind to open the Hero Point Handler.
  • Optional keybinds for executing a macro in any position on any page of the macro hotbar, whether that page is currently showing or not.
  • Optional keybind called "Add user targets" that lets the GM add token targets to other users by selecting or hovering over those tokens, pressing the keybind and choosing which user should target those tokens. Enables GMs to help players having problems with targeting.

• Assorted other features

  • The latest versions of all V10-compatible macros from https://gitlab.com/symonsch/my-foundryvtt-macros/-/tree/main/PF2e are included in each Workbench release. They can be found in the compendium "Symon-provided macros (asymonous-benefactor-macros)", with the express permission of said asymonous^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hanonymous (and colorless) benefactor. Attribution for the macros can normally be found inside each macro, and the source url for each macro is added at the end of each macro. If you have issues with these macros, report them here: https://gitlab.com/symonsch/my-foundryvtt-macros/-/issues
  • The compendium "PF2e Workbench Items (xdy-pf2e-workbench-items)" contains a few useful effects and items:
    • Aura effects for Bless, Inspire Courage, Inspire Defense, Protective Ward that automatically apply the effect to tokens within the aura. (Technically these should not be auras, but, close enough... Inspire Courage and Inspire Defense's effect can pass through walls that allow sound to pass)
    • Placeholder Aura effect for Bless. If/when the system supports auras that affect enemies this effect might automagically start automating.
    • Effect for Dirge of Doom that you can give to targets to not let the automated frightened removal reduce frightened below 1.
    • Workbench ABP. My attempt at implementing the optional Automated Bonus Progression rules using Rule Elements hosted on a 'Bonus Feat'. Not quite complete, but, useful enough. (My players decided against ABP so I won't use it in the near term, but I figured it might be useful for someone else, so I'm putting it in the Workbench.) To use it, do not turn on ABP in Foundry, instead put this 'feat' in the Campaign Feats section on all characters you want to use these rules.) Only lightly tested, but you probably need to remove and readd this feat after you level up. Adjust the economy as much as you feel is needed. You don't need to remove runes from weapons and armor if you don't want to, these REs are implemented as Item Bonuses, so whichever of the rune and the character has the highest bonus is applied, except for Devastating Attacks which does stack with Striking Runes.
  • The compendium "PF2e Workbench Macros (xdy-pf2e-workbench-macros)" contains a few macros you might find useful.
    • 'Basic Action Macros' shows a dialog with a button for most macros, with bonus and whether you're the best in the party at that action (a setting to turn this off exists). ( Thanks ApoAstolov). The five colors are denoting ranks, in order, grey=untrained, blue=trained, purple=expert, gold=master, red=legendary, with 'glow' meaning that you are the best in the party.
    • 'Refocus' shows dialog with buttons to regain 1 focus point, or 2 if the character has any of the *-focus feats, or 3 if any of the *-wellspring feats, or 2 if is a psychic. With admonition to only choose that button if one has indeed spent more than 2 or 3 focus points since the last refocus (or, for a psychic, only spent on psychic abilities.
    • 'Build Npc Spellbook Journal' that builds a journal with the contents of an npc's spell list. Courtesy of Avery (Velara).
    • 'Whirlwind Strike' performs a Whirlwind Strike around the selected token if it has the Whirlwind Strike Feat, has the effect "Reach 'aura' (Workbench)' using the first reach weapon, or failing that the first weapon of any type.
  • The compendium "PF2e Workbench Customizable Macros (xdy-customizable-macros)" contains customizable macros provided by ApoApostolov. They are intended to be customized by the user by changing the javascript code (such as by adding/removing actions, setting what actors are part of the party, etc.) They are not really supported, so, if your changes break them, you get to keep all the parts! :)
    • Customizable Basic Action Macros. A variant of Basic Action Macros that you can customize for your own needs. Add/remove actions, change party members, go wild! See https://apoapostolov.notion.site/PF2-Basic-Actions-Macro-1255adc12ecf44e881e6cd87941f7858 for documentation.
    • Customizable Procedural Checks. A framework for running several macros at once, requires customization to be useful. (At a minimum, change the actor id:s, this gets you a macro that can be used in exploration mode to perform standard actions when the group is about to open a door.) See https://apoapostolov.notion.site/PF2-Procedural-Checks-Macro-996bd20ace45411eb4b1f566686ecdb1 for documentation.
  • There are a few more compendiums included with this module with assorted utility macros and items that do not need to be imported, as indicated by their labels all ending with 'do not import'

• Experimental features:

  • None right now.

• Deprecated features (will be removed eventually):

  • (Deprecated, use the module https://foundryvtt.com/packages/pf2-flat-check instead) An 'Equipment' named " Workbench Flat Check Notes". This 'Equipment' holds several useful Note RE:s that when appropriate add notes about Flat Checks to rolls. It is far from complete, but it's a good start. To use it add it to your character. It currently handles: Target is undetected, hidden, invisible or concealed. Self is blinded or dazzled. Self has Blind-Fight.
