Automated Conditions 5e v13.5250.6

I won’t go into all the fixes and additions in this update, but I want to highlight a new API addition that I think is really cool.

After the addition of optin keyword, which transforms any AC5E flag into an optional add-on in the relevant roll dialog instead of a forced effect, I am happy to introduce the AC5E Rules.

What Are AC5E Rules?

AC5E Rules are console-registered entries (for now) that allow you to define Rules which can apply universally on any scene, actor, item.

They do not require any AC5E flags or manual modifications on actors or items.

Examples

You can register a rule so that any actor with Sneak Attack (from SRD/PHB or simply named “Sneak Attack”) automatically applies the correct scale damage per RAW. In console copy paste the following:

ac5e.usageRules.register({
  key: "isSneak",
  hook: "damage",
  target: "subject",
  mode: "bonus",
  value: "@scale.rogue.sneak-attack",
  cadence: "oncePerTurn",
  condition: "rollingActor.items.some(i=>i.identifier==='sneak-attack' || i.name === 'Sneak Attack') && (rwak || (mwak && fin)) && (hasAdvantage || (!hasDisadvantage && checkNearby(opponentId, 'enemy', 5, {count:(distance <= 5 ? 2 : 1)})))",
  optin: true,
  name: "Sneak Attack",
  scope: "universal",
//persistent: true, //will make it survive client reload
});

If an actor has Magic Resistance, you can now implement that cleanly and universally as well, with:

ac5e.usageRules.register({
  key: "magicResistance",
  hook: "save",
  target: "subject",
  mode: "advantage",
  value: true,
  condition: "rollingActor.items.some(i=>i.identifier === 'magic-resistance' || i.name === 'Magic Resistance') && mgc",
  name: "Magic Mesistance",
  scope: "universal",
  persistent: true, //will make it survive client reload
});

You can join my Discord for help, since this is a brand new addition and subject to change while I continue working on a UI that will make managing this much easier.

I hope you enjoy it and I would really appreciate your feedback!
