[Feat] Add ability selection to Roll dialogue for Tool Checks

Open NekroDarkmoon opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Currently when you set up Tool Checks under the Roll dialogue in Actions and then use the tool the roll dialogue looks like the attached screenshot (even with "None" selected in the Roll Setup). The problem then, is that a Tool Check does not have a set ability score tied to it:

"Tool use is not tied to any single ability score and your Narrator may decide your work may require any sort of ability check. For example, you may be asked to make a Dexterity check with your glassblower’s tools while making a delicate glass chalice, but you may be asked to make a Charisma check for creating an artistic glass sculpture."

So with the way it is setup now there is no real way to facilitate that without going into the item during play and changing the selected ability score during the scene.

Best solution I can think of is to change the ability selected to the default choice in the roll dialogue, that way if someone is just doing the most common one (like say a Dex check for Thieves Tools) they can use the skip roll dialogue still, but under more unusual circumstances they can use the roll dialogue to change the ability score in question just like with a skill currently.
