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.

Usage Notes

  • Structure very close to to core rulebook
  • Automatically calculates all derived stats: half/quarter stats, special stats, build/repair table & encumbrance
  • Roll buttons for stats, skills & special stats
  • Roll buttons query for 0-3 advantages/disadvantages & implement advantage/disadvantage effects
  • Roll template indicates level & degree of success
  • Tick the "Threshold modifier prompt on every roll" checkbox to specify misc. threshold modifer for subsequent rolls
  • Drop down selections for archetypes, apocalypse & skill proficiencies
  • Initiative includes modifiers from being encumbered, shaken, acute, starving & emaciated
  • Temporary initiative modifier field for situational special ability effects
  • Faith & Reflex ability benefits automatically calculated
  • Special Ability and Gear descriptions can be expanded/contracted to see the full text when needed
  • Hunger conditions will highlight in red when active
  • Starving condition will apply -10 modifier to base stats (modifier indicator will appear next to base stats)
  • Structure deviations from core rulebook implemented to provide enough room for Special Ability and Gear descriptions

Planned enhancements

  • Fix weapon DC field to accept letters
  • Change weapon trait field font to match abilities & gear (more room for text)
  • Add buttons for defense & build/repair rolls
  • Add button for weapon attack and damage rolls
  • Default proficiency roll prompt to disadvantage for non-proficient skills
  • Implement Disadvantage to all rolls when Emaciated
  • Implement special ability conditional modifier roll queries
