v23.07.29

Breaking Changes

• Things previously represented solely by dicts (monsters, spells, items) are now represented by their own serializable objects. Actually, they are dataclasses from the standard library. See the updated README.
• Character class_spellcasting was removed to reduce redundancy in the character data
• Previous wealth-changing methods have been replaced with the new change_wealth (lower wealth with negative input)
• Every remaining camelCase method was replaced with snake_case
• maximum_hp renamed to get_maximum_hp
• getModifier renamed to get_ability_modifier

Bug fixes

• Character spell_slots is no longer blank. Instead, it is a dict containing the maximum spell slots, cantrips known, and spells known for the character's class level.
• Character class no longer defines __getitem__ or keys so it does not itself function like a dict. Instead it defines __iter__, which accomplishes the same end-result of allowing Character to become a dict without the undesired side-effect of acting like it already is one. This is also consistent with dataclasses.
• repr(character) now prints a statement that will reconstruct the object in Python, as it does for dataclasses

New Features

• Character now defines __eq__ and will return True if compared against an identical character (or a dict of an identical character)
• Wealth is now a float with 1.00 equal to 1 gp.
• Other coins are stored in a new optional property, wealth_detailed
  • {'pp': 0, 'gp': 0, 'ep': 0, 'sp': 0, 'cp': 0}
• Added conditions dict for storing conditions as booleans:
  • blinded
  • charmed
  • deafened
  • frightened
  • grappled
  • incapacitated
  • invisible
  • paralyzed
  • petrified
  • poisoned
  • prone
  • restrained
  • stunned
  • unconscious
• All conditions start out as False, of course.

v23.07.22

Breaking Changes

• Finished renaming "armour" to "armor" (in methods of the Character class)

New Features

• Re-added dice functions (thanks to @gergo-szabo) now in dice.py
• Roll 4d6 and drop the lowest:

from dnd_character.dice import sum_rolls
sum_rolls(d6=4, drop_lowest=True)

• Roll d20 with advantage:

from dnd_character.dice import roll_with_advantage_disadvantage
roll_with_advantage_disadvantage(dice=20, advantage=True)

Minor Changes

• Serialized version of characters is smaller due to not including superfluous copies of data (level 20 bard used to produce a 56kb json file and now produces a 36kb file instead)

v23.07.12

Small breaking changes - two things have been renamed!

Changes

• Renamed hp to current_hp
• Renamed biography to background
• Added species which does nothing currently.
• Added speed which does nothing currently (defaults to 30).
• Added temp_hp for temporary HP
• Added personality, bonds, ideals, and flaws
• Added max_hd and current_hd for tracking hit dice (note: hd is for the dice itself, e.g., d8, d10)
• Added exhaustion which initializes to 0. Actual exhaustion mechanics will come in a later version.

v23.06.28

This is a major update - lots of structures changed and things have been renamed!

Changes

• The json_cache is updated to be more in line with the new 5e SRD API. Mostly this means that there is a lot more consistency between different entries so you don't have to check if keys exist before accessing them from the dictionary/object.
• To match with the SRD as we have it, armour_class property on characters has been renamed to armor_class

v22.04.18

Changes

• chargeWealth is removed. Its functionality is now rolled into removeWealth. This means that removeWealth returns a boolean and will not reduce the character's wealth if the amount is larger than the current wealth.
• Test coverage of the character class increased from 70% to 99% -- the "starting options" are still not tested.

Bugs fixed

• Removing armour from a character with shield equipped will no longer remove the AC bonus from the shield.
