Homebrew: Action

v1.1.0

🍺Building an action

The action object defines of what can be done within the system's action economy time units.

An Example:

The _Meta is normally included in a full JSON, for this example it has been removed. See the link for how to develop the _meta.

	"action": [
		{
			"name": "Extinguish",
			"entries": [
				"When you take the Extinguish action, you may end the {@condition On Fire} condition for a creature within 5 feet of you, or within reach of your unarmed strikes (whichever is greater)."
			],
			"source": "json_in_meta"
			"page": 0,
			"time": [
				{
					"unit": "action",
					"number": 1
				}
			]
		}
	]

In the example; the "action" is defined. The first entry in the action array name is defined as Extinguish. The player facing description of the action are defined in the entries section (see Renderer Demo for how to format that). The "source" is the string value "json" field which you will have defined in the header's _meta. Add the "page" number for the page upon which the action is defined from the source; when you are not sure or do not have the page number. set the value to 0. (When "page": 0 the page value doesn't get displayed.)

The "time" object is now defined. As 1 action; ie the time "unit" is defined as an action (options are action; bonus; or reaction); the "number" is the total value of such; in this case only 1 action; but you define it as 2, 10, 10000 as the required number of Actions are spent for the action to occur.

Field List (action)

If you do not include the required fields (denoted with bold text) the JSON may pass JSONLint but will fail upon stitch.
