Key Features

Currently focused on session-end advancement workflows. Additional campaign management features planned.

Session Advancement Workflow

Implements the complete session-end advancement system from page 29 of the Dragonbane rulebook.

The 5 Advancement Questions:

• Official questions - All 5 advancement questions from the rulebook (4 default + weakness optional)
• Customizable - Hide any default questions or add custom house-rule questions
• Smart skill selection - Choose which unmarked skills to mark for advancement
• Weakness tracking - Optional rule (disabled by default) with automatic removal dialog when overcome

Flexible Advancement Rolling:

Choose your preferred rolling style with the Advancement Roll Mode setting:

• Bulk Rolling (default) - Roll all marked skills at once with one consolidated summary
  • Fast and efficient for large skill lists
  • Single "Roll All Advancement" button
  • Consolidated session summary in chat
• Individual Rolling - Click each skill to roll them one at a time
  • Perfect for dramatic moments or important skills
  • D20 icon shows skills ready to roll
  • Click any skill to roll it immediately
  • Skills gray out after rolling with checkmark indicator
  • "Complete Session" button appears when all skills are rolled
  • Full session summary and journal recording after completion

Both modes include:

• Level 18 cap enforcement - Skills automatically cap at maximum level
• Heroic ability celebration - Special notifications when skills reach level 18
• Automatic chat messages - Individual skill roll results posted to chat
• Full journal recording - Complete session history with all advancement details

Learning Magic from a Teacher:

• Spend Marks on Spells - Spellcasters can allocate advancement marks to learning new spells from a teacher instead of raising skill levels

  • Appears in Step 2 only for characters who know a school of magic
  • Reports spell learning to chat and the advancement journal, with a reminder of the INT roll (with a boon) needed to learn each spell

  Automatic GM Journals:

• One journal per character - Organized in "Advancement History" folder

• Session summaries - Date, questions answered, weakness engagement, marks used, skills advanced, number of heroic abilities gained

• Campaign-long tracking - Complete advancement history for entire campaign

• Cross-client support - Works when players trigger advancement, GM's client writes to journal

• No permission setup - Journals stay GM-owned, automatically managed

Player & GM Controls:

• Player button - "Session" button on character sheets for individual advancement
• Socket integration - Seamless cross-client communication for multi-user sessions

Visual Polish:

• Color-coded skills - Teal-colored skills track new skills that were selected during advancement
• Graduation cap icons - Visual indicator for skills trained with a teacher
• Dynamic counters - Real-time display of remaining advancement marks
• Dark mode support - Proper button styling for both light and dark Foundry VTT themes

Configuration

Access: Game Settings → Configure Settings → Dragonbane Campaign Assistant

Session Advancement

• Add Character Sheet Buttons - Adds "Session" button (up arrow in character sheet header) for player-initiated advancement
• Advancement Roll Mode - Choose between Bulk Rolling (all at once) or Individual Rolling (click each skill)
• Track Session History - Saves detailed advancement history in actor flags for API access
• Use Weakness Optional Rule - Enable the weakness question in session advancement (optional rule from rulebook)
• Hide Default Questions - Four checkboxes to hide any of the 4 default advancement questions
• Custom Advancement Questions - Add custom house-rule questions (semicolon-separated, each grants 1 mark)

Usage & Workflows

Session Advancement Workflow

End-of-Session Process:

For Players:

1. Click "Session" button on character sheet (up arrow in character sheet header)
2. Answer the advancement questions (each "yes" = 1 skill mark)
3. Select which unmarked skills to mark for advancement
4. Click "Mark Selected Skills" to prepare skills
5. Review all marked skills (from questions + auto-marks from Dragon/Demon rolls)
6. Choose your rolling method:
   • Bulk Mode: Click "Roll All Advancement" → all skills roll at once → view summary
   • Individual Mode: Click each skill to roll → "Complete Session" when done → view summary
7. Session summary posted to chat, journal updated automatically

Example: Bulk Rolling Mode (Default)

Scenario: Player answers 3 "yes" questions and already has 2 skills marked from Dragon rolls during play.

1. Step 1 - Questions: Player answers 3 questions, earning 3 additional marks
2. Step 2 - Selection: Display shows "Advancement Marks Available: 3"
   • Player selects 3 skills from unmarked list
   • Counter updates: 3 → 2 → 1 → 0 as skills are selected
   • Checkmarks turn teal to show new selections
3. Step 3 - Ready to Roll: Shows all 5 marked skills (2 blue = from play, 3 teal = from questions)
4. Rolling: Clicks "Roll All Advancement"
   • System rolls each skill individually
   • Successful rolls increase skill levels
   • Any skill reaching 18 triggers special notification
5. Summary: Chat shows session results with date, marks used, skills advanced

Example: Individual Rolling Mode

Scenario: Same as above, but using individual rolling for important skills.

1. Steps 1-2: Same as bulk mode - answer questions, select 3 skills to mark
2. Step 3 - Ready to Roll: Shows all 5 marked skills with D20 icons
3. Individual Rolling:
   • Clicks "Acrobatics" → rolls 14 → skill increases 12 → 13
   • Clicks "Sneaking" → rolls 8 → skill increases 16 → 17
   • Clicks "Swords" → rolls 19 → no increase (failed)
   • Continues through remaining skills
   • Each roll posts to chat immediately
4. Completion: All skills show checkmarks, clicks "Complete Session"
   • Confirms completion
   • Journal entry created with full session details
   • Chat summary shows final results
5. Cancel Safety: Can click Cancel at any time before Complete Session
   • Confirms before reverting
   • All individual rolls are reverted
   • Marks from Step 2 are removed
