Maximum Apocalypse

Building the sheet from scratch, while learning Roll20 custom sheet conventions & CCS grids along the way.

Haven't actually played a game of Maximum Apocalypse yet, but it looks like a really fun setting with interesting character, roll & inventory mechanics.

I'm using this project as a way to become familiar with the mechanics.

Also see the API script which implements the logic to handle initiative tracking (4 action phases, each reducing value by 5) & the "enemy attraction gauge" as a token.

Usage Notes

Automatically calculates all derived stats: half/quarter stats, special stats, build/repair table & encumbrance
Automatic calculations incorporate effects from following abilities: Collar, Faith, Giant Genetics, Instinctive, Luck Stars, Moving Target, Reflex, Tightening the Belt, Unreliable
Hunger conditions will highlight in red when active
Roll buttons for stats, skills, special stats, defenses, attacks & damage
Roll buttons query for 0-3 advantages/disadvantages & implement advantage/disadvantage effects
Roll template indicates level & degree of success
Sheet also has roll buttons for base stat actions & shows required food units
Tick the "Threshold modifier prompt on every roll" checkbox to specify misc. threshold modifer for subsequent rolls
Tick the "Damage code prompt on every attack" checkbox to specify damage code for subsequent attack rolls
Tick the "Manually set Armor, Special Stats and Dodge" checkbox to disable automatic calculations for named fields
Drop down selections for archetypes, apocalypse & skill proficiencies

"Next Combat Phase" button to reduce initiative tracker value by 5 (See API script to do this automatically, track phase number & reset for new round)

Starving condition will apply -10 modifier to base stats (modifier indicator will appear next to base stats)
Structure very close to to core rulebook
Structure deviations from core rulebook implemented to provide enough room for Special Ability and Gear descriptions
Fully enabled for language translations
If sheet is too wide/large setting browser zoom to 80% is a good alternate size
Install Maximum Apocalypse API & tick the "Use API for rolls (Requires Pro Account)" checkbox to use "Re-Roll" button to re-roll & reduce luck uses
