• Current Revision: #3 (Rev.3) May 2024
• Latest changes: [1]

General Features

• RTI Rev.3 Percentile dice macro design, emulates the original boardgame mechanics, you will see a Threshold number that is the characteristic value + modifiers. A d100 roll and the Success or Failure Check

• Results that Equal to or lower than the Threshold are success, results that are higher than the Threshold are Failures. At the bottom you will see how many Degrees of success or Failure the test scored.

• Most input fields (Type "Number") now have arrows to add and subtract, arrows only show up when you point at the fields, you can even click/hold the arrows to speed up.

• Most white text fields can be hidden or displayed by checking the corresponding checkbox, the checkboxes themselves have a tooltip to let you know what they do.

• Many fields and buttons have tooltips that show important information, for example: in the Talents tab, the advancements section "Total XP Spent", putting the cursor over it will reveal a list that serves as guideline to determine a character's rank. In addition many fields and macros have a ( 🛈 ) icon that contain rule reminders and other tips.

Universal Header

The Universal Header contains Player/Character name, Characteristics (including advancements and Bonus), Fate Points, 2 Quick Skill selectors, GM Rolls and Fatigue.

• Characteristic numbers are filled in the Starting Field and the Adv. Checkboxes at the bottom add +5 each (Simple, Trained, Advanced, Expert) the number displayed in the big field is a sum of those values, These fields are also buttons that roll characteristic tests.

• At the right corner of the characteristic number, you will find the Characteristic Bonus field (the grey curved square) you must fill these fields according to the rules you may be using, important macros use those values. (E.g: Str. Bonus for melee weapons)

• Fate Points have a Pool and Current fields so the players can track FP, also the ( 🛈 ) icon has a tooltip with info on what you can do with Fate Points.

• Quick Skill Selectors allow you to select up to 2 of your most used skills for quick access, this is intended to reduce the need for Tab switching. You must set up the skill bonuses (basic, trained, other bonuses, etc...) on the Skills Tab first.

• GM Rolls This selector/macro will roll in secret, only the player and the GM will be able to see it, if the GM is rolling, only the GM can see it.

• Fatigue the ( 🛈 ) icon has a tooltip, with info on how fatigue affects the character. Fatigue has a Checkbox that when marked, will add a -10 penalty to all Characteristics (this is a workaround solution to the original rules), this penalty is visible on your characteristic scores above. Fatigue Limit is equal to Toughness Bonus.

Tabs

Skills

The Skills tab contains Basic Skills, Advanced Skills, Skill Groups (including custom) and Profit Factor(PF).

• All Skills and Skill Groups now have a ( 🛈 ) icon with a tooltip that contains info on how to use said skills and what categories they belong.

• Basic and Advanced skills are very straight forward, the base value is calculated based on the Characteristic number.

• Basic skills will roll with half the characteristic value if not "trained" (checkbox) by default.

• Advanced Skills will always roll 0 unless the "Basic" or "trained" checkbox is checked, to use full characteristic, both basic and trained must be checked. (read the skill rules for clarification.)

• Skill Groups are now divided into their respective classifications according to the core rules, each with their own repeating fields.

Known Issues

Old Skill Groups Disappeared

Unfortunately this happened due to a change in the sheets code (Ver 1.2) that was unexpected.

• No solution for this issue available at this time, players will have to add the skill groups manually again in the new fields.
• It is possible that some of that information is still preserved in the "Attributes and Abilities" Tab of the character sheet. Check this tab before adding the skills again.

Available Carry Capacity not updating after removing gear

This only happens when you remove gear from the list by deleting the item.

• Solution: Switching tabs makes the sheet update this number, also checking any checkbox on the combat tab does the trick too.

Roll template in chat not properly displayed

You may notice that the roll template does not seem properly centered/displayed when presented on the chat, this visual bug is caused by the "Enable Chat Avatars" option in the "My settings" tab of the game options.

• Solution: disable this option for proper display.

Planned Future Update

Rev 4:

• Add and Modify button text replaced by icons
• Complete redesign using CSS grid structure
• minor bug fixes
