Number of Monster abilities

ShadowM · November 2017

I cannot remember if there a way to set a monster ability to be unlimited? If not please add it in the toolset, like -1.

Can you make a screenshot of the window, and proposed changes to the UI if you have an idea of how it might look like?

All that really needs to be done is add another character such as "~" meaning infinite where the amount is listed in the last column of the creature abilities tab.

The thing seem so simple, I do not think I would need a picture. Just a flag to mark it unlimited. You could put the explanation almost anywhere on the toolset window. I like the -1 marker, but any symbol that make the most sense could be used as dTd mentioned ~ could also be used. Maybe infinity symbol with checkbox. Just letting the number input accept - numbers or other letters would all you need, no need to adjust the GUI

A trello card for such a small thing?

In programming, there's no such thing as "such a small thing." One of the most famous of famous last words is "we're only making a few minor tweaks, there's no need to test it all again"

Firstly, they'll need to change the spell casting code so that it can "look for" an infinite spell-casting ability. But that's just the beginning and even that isn't exactly trivial.

True, however it's a flavourful addition that mostly works from a developer perspective, rather than merely a player one, and it's also not immediately obvious.
