This major milestone contains several exciting new features and useful bug fixes for the SWADE System on Foundry VTT—including a new system for Pace, Activities on Items, and drag and drop Active Effects. Read below to learn more about these great additions. As always, please remember to back up your data before doing any updates!

Pick Up the Pace

The reworked pace system allows you swim, fly and burrow. Pace options can be found in the “Tweaks” menu. If you have a hero who can walk or fly, try setting up an Active Effect to easily switch your base Pace (hint: “system.pace.base”).

Increase Your Activity Level

The new Activities system lets you easily add and configure actions on items. This also includes a new toggle for hiding actions on the actor sheets. If you have the SWADE Core Rules module, check out the changes, we made to the Frenzy and Improved Frenzy Edges to get a feel for this powerful new feature.

Be More Effective

You can now drag and drop Active Effects to tokens on the canvas! This is a huge time saver, especially for Game Master’s, as it makes status effects easier than ever. You can also use multi select to drag the same effect to many tokens at once.

To help with this, Item Chat cards now display Active Effects that aren’t transferred to the actor as draggable elements so you can drag and drop them to the canvas. A good example here might be an Active Effect on a power item (i.e. protection) that lets you grab the effect and drop it on everyone benefitting from the power
