Feature request: import ddb customizations

Open odcinek opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Hi @MrPrimate, and thanks for doing this - Foundry needs a complete and actively maintained content importer, I hope this project can become that.

Are you planning to support ddb spell or weapon customizations? Would be handy for keeping source of truth 100% in ddb

Thanks,

I'd love to, can you expand a bit on what you mean/what isn't working?

Sure. In ddb you can customize spells or attacks or whatever - for example rename "Spiritual Weapon" to "Hammer Time", like in the screenshot, or modify bonuses etc. Currently that information is not populated into Foundry with character import - the spell shows as regular "Spiritual Weapon".

I checked, and the customizations are present in the character sheet json from ddb. Dunno how much work it would be to make use of them.

Not a must have feature of course, just a neat little helper.

I too would support this endeavor!

This is now implemented, you shouldn't need to update the module.

@MrPrimate thank you, much appreciated!

The name changing works well. Would it be too much to ask to include the hit/dmg/dc overrides and dc/dmg bonuses too?

I will add this to the backlog.

Current state: Most of these are now implemented for Equipment and Spells when changed on dndbeyond. The To Hit Override is tricky in both types and requires a fair bit of rewriting, but most of the others should work.
