New in Aurora 1.19.1216 Preview (Jan 23, 2020)
- With the release of preview v1.19.1216 a number of changes have been made, issues have been fixed, and new features have been implemented. This is the last public preview version before Aurora v1.0 will be released.
- EQUIPMENT PAGE:
- A new equipment page has been added to the character sheet. This will feature a list of items (40), magic items (20), and valuables (10), a sidebar for descriptions of attuned magic items, items with custom notes, or any item description you want to display, and a section for items to be stored (2 storage locations) that doesn’t count towards your carrying weight. The page also includes the additional treasure section and a small section for quest items and trinkets (which can be set from the equipment tab).
- If you have more than 20 magic items and/or more than 10 valuables, the remaining items will be show in the adventuring gear list if there is room.
- Equipped and attuned items are shows inside brackets. [Longsword]:
- When you edit the item details from the inventory you can change the name of the item, add notes (that will override the default description when shown in the sidebar), increase or decrease the amount if the items on a stackable item such as potions or ammunition. You can also toggle on/off wether the item itself should be displayed in the inventory on the sheet and if the description/notes should be displayed in the sidebar.
- Inventory Section:
- ITEM STORAGE LOCATIONS:
- You can store items in a storage location (2 available) from the new inventory tab. You can name these locations and items stored will be excluded from counting towards your carried weight.
- When you have an item in your inventory selected you can store it by using one of the two buttons at the top. By default the storage locations are named #1 and #2. Use the ‘Manage Storage’ button to rename them and retrieve previously stored items as well as move an item from one storage location to the other.
- Storage Locations on Character Sheet:
- ADDITIONAL CATEGORIES:
- A number of new categories have been added to the bottom of the equipment categories that allow you to add extra things to your character. While these things are currently added through the equipment section they will not be included in your inventory on the character sheet (unless you want them to).
- The following things can be added to your character from these categories:
- Languages:
- Proficiencies (armor, weapons, skills, saving throws, tools)
- Ability Score Increases
- Feats
- Spells (generic for non spellcasting classes)
- Spells based on active spellcasting class (e.g. Wizard, Warlock, Arcane Trickster, etc) but not limited to the spelllist of the class
- Feature (currently includes the option to select a companion or a familiar – still limited to 1)
- Once you add them to your inventory you can equip them to ‘enable’ them. These additional items are also generated for your homebrew content.
- CHANGELOG:
- Fixed issue selecting ability score increases on classes with a space in their name (e.g. Blood Hunter) this change will require you to select them again on existing characters using a class like this.
