foundryvtt-magic-items VS automated-jb2a-animations

FoundryVTT Magic Items - This module for Foundry VTT and specific for the DnD5e system, adds the ability to create magical items with spells or feats that belong to the item itself, such as staffs or magic wands, which will be automatically inherited from the character who owns the item.

Magic Items - Allows adding additional spells and such onto magic items directly. Very useful for items that function on charge systems that can be upcast, though a little tricky to work with.

Well there's your problem right there.

Magic Items might help you. I believe you can set it to use multiple charges and scale with number of charges.

a solution could be to code your cutom "feature" into custom magic spells and use the mod "magic items" which let you add spells to magic items with customizable charge cost per spell, number of charges, charges regained at x and so on

What you want is the Magic Items Module... it works with MIDI-QOL and DAE. https://gitlab.com/riccisi/foundryvtt-magic-items

Magic Items

There's an issue for this raised on the module's gitlab page: https://gitlab.com/riccisi/foundryvtt-magic-items/-/issues/82

Honestly, I've never seen an issue like that. If nobody here can help, you could take your question either to the JB2A Discord, where Automated Animations has a specific section that Otigon runs, or the AA Github.

This can definitely be done with Sequencer but it isn't necessarily going to be the easiest thing in the world. Automated Animations might also help, but I haven't used it in a while.

automated-jb2a-animations - At its core, Automated Animations is centered around the use of "instant" effects such as Weapon Attacks and Spell Effects. There are some areas that branch off from this concept and will be explained in the Wiki.

Examples here.

For visual effects only, I use JB2A Animations and then link to the attacks using Automated Animations which then play various animations when the actions are triggered. You have to change the animation selected if the item changes (from "sword" to "flaming sword" for example) but that shouldn't happen a lot

Automated Animations

Hey, the Automated Animations module from Otigon has now an automatic recognition menu in its settings where you can set a spell effect or attack animation linked to its name. A-A automatic recognition example video In the video, I add an entry called Talon so any item with the name Talon will pick up this animation (except if I create another one specifically called Talon Strike for example) On the Automated Animations Github, there is some very good information about it including a great wiki Otigon is very active on our JB2A Discord and our community can help answering questions you may have. :)
