Automatically applies Advanced Effects to characters in the Combat Tracker when items are equipped — and cleanly removes them when unequipped.

This lightweight extension brings the powerful built-in Dolmenwood Advanced Effects system directly into your item inventory. No more manual effect management during combat prep or between sessions.

Features

• Seamless Equipping: Add effect strings to any item via the new Effects tab. When you set an item to Equipped, its effects are automatically applied to the actor in the Combat Tracker.
• Automatic Cleanup: Unequipping the item instantly removes the associated effects.
• Session Persistence: On campaign load, the extension scans all character sheets and reapplies effects for currently equipped items — nothing gets lost between sessions.
• Full Dolmenwood Compatibility: Uses the exact same effect syntax as the core ruleset (e.g. AC: +2, ATK: +1; DMG: +1, SPEED: -10, ability score modifiers, etc.).

How to Use

1. Open any item (from the Items list or a character’s inventory).
2. Switch to the new Effects tab.
3. Add effect rows and edit the strings using the familiar Advanced Effects syntax.
4. Equip the item in a character’s inventory — effects apply instantly.

Supports multiple effects per item, hidden/GM-only effects, and works with unidentified items (effects stay hidden until identified).

Perfect For

• Magic weapons, armor, jewelry, and wondrous items with bonuses
• Cursed items or items with ongoing penalties
• Campaign-specific gear with custom modifiers

Purely additive — does not modify any core Dolmenwood ruleset files.
