Allow alternate / multiple forms of consumption for features that can be used with different resources when they do not have any more uses avaiable

Open Zanderaf opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

More advanced options for resource consumption would be nice in order to be able to designate other items as potential consumption targets for items in cases where all of their available uses are expended.

Made a list below of official stuff that uses this type of stuff (might be more, cant find any atm.)

  • Aberrant Mind Sorcerer: Warping Implosion (1/LR + More uses for 5 Sorcery Points)
  • Clockword Soul Sorcerer: Clockwork Cavalcade (1/LR + More uses for 7 Sorcery Points)
  • Lunar Sorcery Sorcerer: Lunar Phenomenon (1/LR + More uses for 5 Sorcery Points)
  • Oath of Glory Paladin: Living Legend (1/LR + More uses for a 5th Level Spell Slot)
  • Oath of the Watchers Paladin: Mortal Bulwark (1/LR + More uses for a 5th Level Spell Slot)
  • College of Eloquence Bard: Universal Speech (1/LR + More uses for a spell slot)
  • Artillerist Artificer: Eldritch Cannon (1/LR + More uses for a spell slot)
  • Twilight Domain Cleric: Eyes of Night (1/LR + More uses for a spell slot)
  • Drakewarden Ranger: Drake Companion Summoning (1/LR + More uses for a spell slot)

A tangentially related thought I had is for features and spells like this (such as Fey/Shadow Touched, some races, etc), I currently use two instances of the spell to make it work in a semi-intuitive way. For example, for Fey Touched's Misty Step, I add an Innate Spellcasting version with uses set to 1/LR, and an Always Prepared version that works as normal. It's a shame, though, considering I'd ideally want to limit the amount of items in the character sheet to keep things more readable and intuitive at a glance.

I could also have just one Always Prepared version with uses and just uncheck Consume Spell Slot, but that's not super intuitive for players when it's one OR the other and never one AND the other. Not the biggest deal (I could always just explain to players to uncheck the resources they don't want to use), but would be nice if there was a way to specify that in Details, such as an option that, if enabled, would show all the resources in the same dropdown and allow you to pick which one you wanted to expend.

I think https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/issues/3341 would be the oneyou're looking for- the "free casting" part of it.
