Forge/Foundry Tips & Tricks Post

This is a repost from my player Jon L, who has been messing around in Foundry in DF Felltower to try to learn the system.

Here is what he has so far. I had to change the format because I can't import the formats he uses in his emails.

1) Adding a mod to the Marco Bar from the Chat Log.

If you see a mod in the Chat Log that you want to keep, just L-click and drag it to the Macro Bar.

Example: the -2 Bad Footing I added at the end of last game in the Chat Log can be dragged right into the Macro Bar.

2) Saving a built up Mod Bucket.

You can save a bunch of repeating mods from your Bucket.

Once they are all entered L-click on the total mods amount shown and drag that to the Macro Bar.

Example: Wyatt kept using +1 SM, +3 DX Potion/Layered Armor, -2 Bad Footing, -10 Deceptive 5. I put all of this in my Bucket, then dragged the combined -8 into my Macro Bar. Now I just click that one item and get all those each time.

(Peter's note - that is +4 for DX, -1 to DX for layered armor)

FYI, when you do this it will initially show up in the chat log each time you click the new Macro. To remove this, edit the Macro and add an exclamation point (!) in front of each line of the Macro code.

Here is what the Macro code looks like once saved:

!/clearmb <-- this clears the Macro Bucket and overwrites whatever is in there with the code below.
!/r [+1 SM Bonus]
!/r [+3 Agility Potion/Layered Armor]
!/r [-2 Bad Footing]
!/r [-10 Deceptive 5]

3) Targeting Shortcut

Double R-click on the target and the targeting icons appear.
Double R-click on the target again and they disappear.

4) Facing

SHFT+arrow-keys - while a token is selected to face it in cardinal directions.
SHFT+scrollwheel - to do this with the mouse.

That's helpful to have, so I asked to put that on our blog.
