My Call of Cthulhu implementation for Foundry VTT

My implementation of the call of Cthulhu for foundry-vtt

Disclaimer

This system doesn’t include any materials from the books and you’ll have to enter manually, weapons, skills, items etc… to be able to play. I’ve just provided some basics skills that you can use.

I’m testing my dev on Chrome. Not sure how or if it will behave on other browser.

Installation/usage

Install in foundry VTT from the Game Systems tab using the following manifest :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HavlockV/CoC7-FoundryVTT/master/system.json

Compendium 'Examples' contains a 1920's character sheet, you just need to import it to start a character. Contains also a NPC and a creature example.
Compendium 'Skills' contains a set of basic skills that you can use for your PC/NPC.
Compendium 'Weapons' contains a single test weapon.

• Specialization reworked. A specialization with a name set to 'Any' will be considered generic.
  • The generic name can be changed in lang.json.
  • When dropping a specialization with name 'Any' on a sheet, you will be prompted for a name and a base value. If you skip that the skill will be created as 'Any'. You can modify that later in the sheet.

  • spells can be added to books from compendium.
• When adding a weapon to a character the system will try to find the matching skill (if the weapon specifies one).
  • If no skill is found, the system will create the corresponding skill and open the skill sheet for you to crosscheck and fill the base value.
• New tab added to the character sheet for character development. In this tab you can:
  • see/modify how skills are calculated (base + personal + occupation + experience).
  • roll your skills for development. You can either click each skill individually or trigger a check for all skill by clicking the 'development' button.
• Controls have been added for the GM.

• Added distance to target on the range chat-card.
  • Distance are calculated center of token to center of token. This may have an incidence on what the ruler displays if, for example, your token is 2x2 on a square grid (in that case you can't put the ruler end on the center of the token).
  • You can now see the distance from the target below the target selector in the chat-card and on the tool-tip of the target.
• Added an option to restrict measurement to grid space.
  • By default, for combat range calculation, the distance measured is the euclidean distance. To see that distance using the ruler you'll need to hold shift while measuring. An option is added to use grid spaces instead of euclidean distance. By selecting it, distance will be calculated as per the default ruler for that grid type (Grid less; Square, Hex...)
