Description Tab

Device Item Description Tab (SR5 v0.17.0, FVTT v11.315)

The Description Tab is common to all Item sheets. Hovering over the text shows the  Edit button, which brings up Foundry's standard ProseMirror editing tools, the same ones available when editing Journals. It provides a place to transcribe the rules from the sourcebooks for quick reference, include personal details of character elements, or jot down other gameplay noes.

Device Items include fields to record additional information:

• Rating for an Actor's active commlink (determined on the Actor's Template:Actor) is used in matrix-related Tests.
• Qty
• Conceal
• Cost
• Avail
• Con. Mod. does not actually connect to the Condition Monitor on the Actor's Template:Actor.
• Equipped should not be used, it doesn't properly interface with determining the Actor's active matrix device.
• Wireless
• PAN

Matrix Tab

Device Item Matrix Tab (SR5 v0.17.0, FVTT v11.315)

The Matrix Tab provides fields to configure the type of device and its Attack/Sleaze/Data Processing/Firewall array.

• If Type is set to Commlink or Remote Control Console, the four values are locked in place. In the future, setting it to Remote Control Console will enable rigging- and drone-specific options.
• If Type is set to Cyberdeck, the four attributes can be reconfigured. If it is the Actor's active Device, changing them on the Device Item will change them on the Actor's Template:Actor.

PAN Tab

Device Item PAN Tab (SR5 v0.17.0, FVTT v11.315)

Effects Tab

Equipment Item Effect Tab (SR5 v0.24.3, FVTT v11.315)

The Effects Tab is where Active Effects are configured. The image to the right shows the tab as it appears on an Equipment Item, but it functions the same wherever it appears. ^[ edit ]

New Active Effects can be added to an Item by pressing + Add, or copied from Actors or other Items via drag-and-drop.
