Forbidden Lands Enhancements and Addtions

For attack rolls, the module adds action buttons directly to chat:

• Apply damage
• Dodge
• Parry
• Armor

These buttons are shown in a vertical stack and use the Forbidden Lands visual style.

Combat action buttons are available only to users who own the target actor/token. If the attacker does not own the target, they cannot trigger target-side defense actions.

When a user cannot directly update the attack chat message (permission limitations), the module uses a GM relay through socket updates to keep attack state synchronized.

The module supports and propagates these damage types:

• stab
• slash
• blunt
• fire
• empathy
• endurance
• fear
• other

Damage type is shown in the attack chat card and used when applying damage.

When Apply damage is used, damage is applied to actor attributes by damage type:

• stab, slash, blunt, fire, other -> strength
• empathy -> empathy
• fear -> wits
• endurance -> agility

When applied damage drops an attribute from above 0 to 0, the module attempts to roll on trauma tables:

• wits break -> Horror Trauma
• strength break:
  • stab -> Critical Injuries - Stab Wounds
  • slash -> Critical Injuries - Slash Wounds
  • blunt -> Critical Injuries - Blunt Wounds

Monster actors are excluded from trauma table rolls.

If armor defense roll produces banes/failures and incoming attack is still successful, armor item bonuses are reduced:

• body armor first
• then helmet

Monsters are excluded from armor item degradation.

• Ranged attacks cannot be parried unless the defender has an equipped shield.
• Parry requires an equipped melee weapon with the parrying feature.

For ranged attacks that use arrows, the module can auto-trigger the arrows resource die roll.
