AoE Easy Resolve (PF2e)

AoE Easy Resolve streamlines the clunky, multi-step process of resolving Area of Effect spells, bombs, and abilities in the Pathfinder 2e system.

Simply place a measured template (burst, cone, line, or emanation) from an item card, and the module instantly generates an interactive chat card. From this single card, players can roll their own saves, GMs can batch-roll NPC saves, and damage and effects are distributed to everyone with perfect accuracy.

Features


How It Works

  1. Cast the Spell: A player or GM clicks the template icon (Burst, Cone, Line, etc.) on a spell or item's chat card.
  2. Place the Template: The user places the template on the canvas.
  3. The Resolve Card Appears: A new chat message is generated listing every token caught in the area.
  4. Roll Damage: The caster clicks "Roll Damage" to establish the base damage for the AoE.
  5. Roll Saves: Players click "Save" next to their names. The GM clicks "Roll NPCs" to handle the rest.
  6. Apply: The GM clicks "Apply Damage & Effects". The module calculates Basic Save multipliers (or your custom multipliers), checks IWR, distributes the damage, applies any configured conditions, and prompts to delete the template.

Item Configuration

This module adds a new AoE Easy Resolve configuration section to the bottom of the Details tab for Spells, Feats, Actions, Weapons, Consumables, and Equipment.

This allows you to highly customize how specific items behave when their templates are placed:

General Settings

Custom Damage Override

Apply Effects

Automatically apply conditions or status effects based on how the target rolled.

Damage Multipliers

By default, the module assumes standard PF2e "Basic Save" math (Crit Success = 0, Success = 0.5, Failure = 1, Crit Fail = 2).


Technical Note on Permissions

To maintain security and prevent players from editing chat messages they don't own, this module utilizes a "Whisper Router." When a player clicks "Save" or "Roll Damage," their client securely whispers the math to the active GM's client. The GM's client intercepts this hidden whisper, updates the master chat card database, and instantly deletes the whisper to keep the chat log clean.

Note: A GM must be actively logged into the world for player saves to update the chat card.
