Known Issues
| Bug Type | Severity | State | Fixed In | Description | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanics | Moderate | Backlog | TBD | Special Movement, Fast, only allows a single rank, but the Core rulebooks states that a character's movement speed is doubled for every assignment (rank) of the attribute. | None |
| Mechanics | Minor | Backlog | TBD | Weapon always rolls with "Do Nothing" maneuver, irrespective of which maneuver is selected. | All stats (i.e. Body, Mind, and Soul) have no value or are set to 0. Configure all stats to have a value greater than 0. |
| UI | Moderate | Backlog | TBD | Activating/deactivating attribute will collapse "range" menu for armed weapon. | Disarm/rearm weapon. |
| Attribute | Minor | Backlog | TBD | All aspect shortcoming does not apply to major aspects when major aspect shortcoming exists. | Use All Aspect Stat for Major Aspect Stat rolls instead. |
| Cost Accounting | High | Fixed | 1.4.13 | In some cases, such as taking an attribute over level 6, will cause the attribute's cost to be double counted when applied to the group cost. | None |
| Attribute | Moderate | Fixed | 1.4.10 | Telekinesis should provide character "extra hands" to arm weapons with. Should not apply to focused versions of telekinesis. | None |

Roadmap
| Feature | State | Release | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Combat Automation! | In-development | 1.9.0 | Leveraging Custom Roll Parsing, this framework will allow automation of combat, such as auto-updating a sheet with damage taken after applying protection/defenses, decrementing ammunition spent, factoring enhancements and limiters into rolls, etc. (Note: this work is necessary to move forward with Alternative Damage/Stun System.) |
| Alternative Damage/Stun System | Researching | TBD | Develop a damage and stun system that is effortless to track and more immersive to gameplay. |
| Tooltips For Icon Descriptions | Backlog | TBD | Create tooltips for icons to bring more awareness on what they are used for or mean. |
| Damage Categories Display In Roll Templates | Backlog | TBD | Display damage categories appropriately in roll templates for both attack and defense rolls. |
| Environmental Resistance Armor Rating | Backlog | TBD | Armor Rating gained by Resistance attribute (i.e. environmental) is activated as tertiary armor layer. |
| Automate Dual Wielding Rules/Mechanics | Backlog | TBD | Apply dual wielding mechanics to rolls transparently. |
| Alt-Munition | Done | 1.7.4 | Add support for the Alt-Munition Limiter. |
| Deplete | Done | 1.7.0 | Simplify Deplete/Energy Point system to be more player and immersion friendly. |
| Performance Improvements | Done | 1.6.0 | BESM4eExtras is a data heavy character sheet, but the more Attributes that are added to the sheet the more performance is negatively impacted. This iteration of performance improvements targets data management for more optimal performance of character sheets with many Attributes defined. The visual layout of the character sheet will remain unaffected, but how data is managed in the background will receive a significant overhaul. |
| Enhancement and Limiter Tooltop Descriptions | Done | 1.5.3 | Display tooltop descriptions for Active Attribute customizations. Currently only shows rank for non-standard enhancements and limiters. |
| Additional Damage Types | Done | 1.5.0 | Include damage types mentioned in Core rulebook that are currently not available. This will better support the Resilient attribute. |
| Resilient Attribute | Done | 1.5.0 | Rework attribute to reflect Core rulebook description. Currently structured after Unaffected attribute. |
| Unaffected Attribute | Done | 1.5.0 | Align Unaffected attribute with Core rulebook definition. |
| Rush Attack | Done | 1.4.7 | Create "rush attack" button to apply the Combat Technique to an attack. |
| Ammo | Done | 1.4.0 | Align Ammo customization with better understanding of Core rulebook intention. |
Version History
v1.8.4
- Reduced attribute cache ~35%-40% by removing all falsey assigned attributes and hardcoding default falsey values. Such as when an attribute (Roll20) returns undefined then a default value of 0 will be assigned for an integer-based attribute. Only attributes with non-falsey values will be written to cache. The smaller cache size increased sheet performance.
v1.8.3
- Fixed issue where changing initial stat levels would produce incorrect cost values.
- Note: characters affected by this bug will have their stat costs corrected, which may result in additional or fewer character points than prior to the cost correction.
v1.8.2
- Fixed getAttrCostPerLevel() function not returning cost of Alternate Form attribute.
v1.8.1
- Fixed issue where activating STR-based shortcoming did not activate correctly.
- Fix issue where after activating STR-based shortcoming, lift was not recalculated.
v1.8.0
- Deprecated size template UI based on repeating sections for simpler select-based UI.
- Added shading to depressed targeted and Unaffected attribute buttons.
- Code optimization.
- Bug fixes.
v1.7.7
- Corrected Tough and Energized attributes to increase Health and Energy Points by 10 points per level, respectively, and Social Mastery and Unassailable attributes to increase Social and Sanity points by 2 points per level, respectively.
v1.7.6
- Improved depress button visualization
v1.7.5
- Fixed weapon arming bug.
- Enhanced cache write logic to prevent writing undefined values.
v1.7.4
- Added support for the Alt-munition limiter (weapon attribute).
v1.7.3
- Consolidating options and lock functionality into a single lock button surfaced a bug previously unnoticed. Resolved issues where a newly added attribute would get out of sync with lock button state, showing the options menu when locked, and hidden when unlocked.
v1.7.2
- Fixed bug where if an attribute was unlocked and options menu open when sheet upgraded to 1.7.1, the lock function would work with the lock icon open/close state reversed. Now lock icon should display correct state with open/close options menu.
- Fixed upgrade code, was not reliably detecting lesser version in game, but worked fine in sandbox.
v1.7.1
- Merged attribute options button function with attribute lock button, and removed options button (was redundant).
- Changed roll template damage label to display as normal or stun, rather than have a separate line entry for stun.
v1.7.0
- New alternate Deplete limiter rule!
- Alternate Deplete limiter rule can be enabled/disabled in either Default Sheet Settings for new characters, or in Sheet Options for existing characters.
- When alternate Deplete limiter rule is enabled, attributes with the Deplete limiter will use an Energy Point reservation system instead of requiring players to track number of EP expended per use or over time. Revered EP are removed from the EP total when affected attributes are activated, and will not be released until the attribute is deactivated.
- Note: switching between official and alternate Deplete limiter rule does not perform retroactive removal or restoration of EP. Players must deactivate all affected attributes before switching between rules.
v1.6.3
- Weapon attributes with No Hands enhancement will no longer arm weapons as if they were an Extra Arm attribute.
- Fixed ammo persistency when arming other weapons, previously only persisted when unarming before switching weapons.
- Extra Arms, and weapons with No Hands enhancement, Weapon Selection button now shows as depressed when selected.
v1.6.2
The Great Bug Hunt!
- Upgrade to 1.3.1 toString function now correctly uses underscorejs syntax (and works).
- Function createSkill() now adds new skill ID to cache.
- Function buildSkillsUI() now writes skillmap correctly.
- Fixed skill stat adjustment bug, now defaults level to 0 if NaN.
- Refactored createSkill() function: moving to writeValues() function in certain cases to resolve cache out of sync issues. POCed on createSkill() function.
- Fixed ammo/capacity persistence with new caching system.
- Stat changes are now reflected in skill rolls.
- New characters will now be able to roll 2d6 from roll menu (previously had no default value set).
- Attribute Augmented (stat) now works!
- Attack/Defense Mastery attributes will now be added/removed from ACV/DCV rolls, respectively.
- Attributes now expose the correct settings available to them.
- Cleaned up some unnecessary code.
- Now correctly exposing/displaying respective melee/ranged weapon classes to associated Attributes (e.g. Melee Attack, Ranged Attack, etc).
v1.6.1
- Moved support for setting game genre to Default Sheet Settings (via sheet.json) for new characters, and localized configuration in Sheet Options for existing characters. Changing game genre only affects skill costs per level, and changing game genre on an existing sheet will adjust all skill costs retroactively. Therefore, some skills may cost more, some less, and will reflect on the character's total cost. This change better adheres to the Extras rule book.
- Adapted skill game mechanics to new attribute caching system.
- Fixed self-inflicted bugs.
v1.6.0
- Introducing the Cached Value Framework! This has been a significant uplift of the sheet's codebase, where all the sheet's values are retrieved during the "on open" event and then written to a single JSON object that emulates Roll20's "values" object created from getAttrs() calls. Each successive event after "on open" calls the JSON object rather than multiple single sheet values. Performance testing results suggested that getAttrs() is significantly more performant fetching a single value over multiple values, irrespective (to a point) of the data volume. Meaning, getAttrs() performance is better fetching a single object of 50kb than 500 objects totaling 50kb. This major change to the BESM4eExtras character sheet was necessary as players building complex characters would suffer performance issues making the sheet unplayable. While there still appears to be an upper limit to sheet complexity, the Cached Value Framework pushes this limit out further so players may enjoy more powerful characters.
v1.5.3
- Added support for the following tooltip descriptions:
- Combat Techniques
- Special Movement
- Connected, Metamorphosis, Plant Control, Sixth Sense and Summon Creatures
- Customizations which require additional configuration
- Various other Attributes with binary value customizations

- Movement will now correctly account for Special Movement - Fast when the attribute is activated/deactivated.
- Bug fixes.
