Advancement Type: Subclass

[arbron]

This advancement allows the player to select their subclass at a certain level. This can only be added to "class" items and each class can only have a single advancement of this type. Much of this advancement would be the same as the Item Choice advancement (#1401) and could probably be an extension of that one.

This would resolve #1017.

Level Up Interface

The player would be presented with a list of available subclasses as well as have a drop area for adding an unlisted subclass. They can choose a single subclass before continuing.

The advancement would ensure that any item added is of a new subclass type created by #1080.

Configuration

This configuration object would contain a pool of item UUIDs and an option to disable the drop area.

{
  allowDrops: true,
  pool: ["Compendium.dnd5e.subclasses.MW1ExvBLm8Hg82aA"]
}

Value

The value object would contain the origin UUID of the subclass added and the ID of the object added to the actor.

{
  "EZsonMThTNLZq35j": "Compendium.dnd5e.subclasses.MW1ExvBLm8Hg82aA"
}

Future Directions

If a system for scanning compendiums for items of specific types is implemented, this could be used to automatically build a list of available subclasses that would be presented to the player.

Originally in GitLab by @playest

What would you think if any feature could have a "trigger" when a certain level is reached in a certain class?
This way we could have:

• classes proposing features when certain level are reached
• features (the one proposed by the class or added by hand) proposing features

Which would give us the ability to have a tree of features that are giving other features to fill the character sheet with all the right value.

Obviously we would need a UI for all of that.

That is basically what the new advancement system is.
