Automation thoughts (Patreon)

We've always wanted to keep the RPG Sessions character sheets open for player customization. But we wonder if there could be a couple areas that would benefit from automation. When we talk about "automation," we mean that a certain data point would be calculated by the system, without the need for any initial user modification.

This type of automation would affect these areas, and would not be edited directly...

• Soak
• Defense (adjusted from armor, weapons, talents, etc)
• Encumbrance Threshold
• Current Encumbrance (adjusted from armor, weapons, equipment, etc)

Example

Armor is picked up (Added to your sheet and "Carrying" checked), but not worn by your character, with Soak +1, Defense +1, Encumbrance +2.

Your character's Soak and Defense would not increase, but Encumbrance increases by 2.

Then your character puts it on! (Equipped checked)

Your character's Soak increases by 1, Defense increases by 1, and Encumbrance goes down by 2.
