Exalted Battleque for d20

[DonTadow]

I appreciate the interest in my system, to my eyes it's still experimental and could probably do with a few more alterations. At the moment my copies have wikicode all in them, I'll clean the latest one up and add an example combat to it then post it here as a pdf.

I'm a "laptop " kind of DM. The system seems very easy to create into an excel file tracker. My programming in excel is limited, though I am trying to alter DM Genie to emulate it. Do you know of anyone whom has done a similiar tracker for the exalted game. One I can use as a blueprint.

As I program, what about rounds. Many spells and conditions rely on them. Would you say that a round is still six ticks? 10 ticks?

I've play tested it a few times and 6 seems to work for me. If you use 10 it seems like it comes out that the players are getting to do too much on a "per round" basis. But thats my oppinion, its not really backed by fact though. I'll be using this system with my group adding your changes as the thread is continued. I can try to track combat for you if you so you can see another perspective but we won't be playing againt untill the 10th of Feb. and I dont' know if I will beable to track EVERYTHING.

DonTadow, I used Excel to track turn order as well, but you know me, everythings on paper. I created a chart, printed it, and track it in paper and pen. When you get a DM Genie add on up and running can you let me know?

Could you email me the excel sheet. I'm thinking about play testing it soon and need to test it out. I"m wondering how the party will take to it.

I've figured out a way to track the initiative order in DMGenie. Essentially, changed the code so that it calculates dex instead of reflex. Then added buttons for each 'action type'. When an action type is pressed for a creature, it deducts a specific amount of points from the initiative and then the creature order is reshuffled according to the new order. the next creature then comes up in the order. Because the "done" button isn't pressed, the round does not end I declare it has ended.

Nise . . . . .
Im guessin now you don't want the excel.

 

[DonTadow]

I still need the excel file. There are some serious tweaking to dmgenie that i can't figure out like changing the round marker to represent the real marker.

I have Addy writting a macro for it instead so I tossed the excel file, sorry.

Was the final version of this system ever completed? The other thread's version seems less detailed.
