Option for when death occurs

This has probably been suggested before but if so please consider this a re-iteration of that request. It would be nice to have the death at be an option, rather than just occuring at -10. In fact, changing this would actually support your mission statement due to the fact that it would stop enforcing D&D 3.5 rules and support multiple game systems.

It should be a very minor fix - just an extra option in the options, somthing like: [ ] Death at -CON Score [ ] Death at -10 [ ] Death at other static number: [text box]

My idea of pseudocode for this would be (not being overly clever to reduce the lines of code but make it more readable):

If (Options.DeathAt == DEATH_AT_MINUS_CON_SCORE)

Token.DeathAt = - Token.ConScore;

else if (Options.DeathAt == DEATH_AT_MINUS_10)

Token.DeathAt = -10;

else

Token.DeathAt = Options.DeathAtCustomAmount;

I'm not sure if you wanted to see my idea of pseudocode for this but rather than just complaining about something not working, I thought I would be constructive and give an idea how to fix it

A huge number of the players nowadays are playing Pathfinder yet we are stuck using D&D 3.5 death at -10 rules, unfortunately.

Thanks and keep up the good work with such a great product.

 

By the way, if it is easier to just allow the "Death At Score" to be a textbox for each token in the character sheet, then that would be better than nothing. It could then assume -10 unless there is something in this textbox, in which case the value would be overridden by this amount entered. While ideally it would be nice to set a rule that supports a ruleset in general (and thus not having more work for the GM to do), having to do it individually would be better than no option at all.

 

I realized that I should put this under the Google Moderator for d20pro. One of my players put the topic in that area.

Then click on "Combat & Gameplay". The suggestion in the moderator is "The ability to set what negitive hp equals death. It currently assumes -10 equals dead, this should be variable as not all systems use those rules."

For those that support this idea, a good way to support it is to go to the moderator site and vote for it. I think anyone who plays Pathfinder should vote for it and show that not all of us play D&D 3.5.
