Description

Nice feature that I would like to see is combat XP calculator.

#1

When editing the party/encounter you have the total XP. Do you want to see the total XP on the main windows?

If so, would the total XP for all monster and traps suffice?

#2

Ah, not easy to found.

Yes, I want to have something like combat summary
XP, Level, Difficulty (Easy/ etc), Notes, Number of rounds

Also, Level and Difficulty may be placed to edit party dialog.

#3

So we can turn this request into:

  1. Have XP total of the combat appear on the status bar.
  2. Show level and difficulty on the Party Editor windows;

Notice that level/difficulty is kind of a sliding windows. 1000XP will be a level 6 encounter for 4 PC, level 5 for 4PC and level 4 for 6PC. Also in a standard 5 PC group, 1000XP: is Easy for PC level 6-7, Standard for level 5, and Hard for level 1-3. We have three axis here. We could fix PC number and level, and have VCC stay how hard it is.

Any thoughts?

I decided to take a look and it turned out to be really easy to get implemented, so I did the following:

  • Added a combo box for the party size party (1 to 10 characters).
  • Implemented a logic to get the level of the encounter based on the party size.
  • Since I was there, decided to implement a simple level filter on the Compendium view. You can now limit what level will appear, really handy.

Will add in the next test build.

Do we still need total XP on the status bar?

#5

No
I guess we will one more place to show encounter XP when we will have Encounter summary window (or like).
