  • So, I think you’re bang on here. The exports reveal that the info is included like so:

    item1.X-ABDATE:20160302
    item1.X-ABLabel:Death
    

    My cursory searching tells me that this isn’t outside of the CardDAV/vCard spec per se, but that the X- signifies “extension”, aka basically, info that is being included but may only be read by apps that specifically know to look for it.

    Now I need to decide if I’d rather have them show up as death anniversaries on my android calendar but not show up at all on my desktop clients, or redo those dates to be maybe a note or something though then they won’t sync to a calendar, or remove it entirely from the contact and instead just have it as an event on my calendar that repeats. Hmm…

    Thanks for the idea though, it got me to look at the file itself which was very helpful!





  • Pathfinder 2e healing actually heals a substantial amount of hp, so using the actions to do so feels valuable. Additionally, although it still has the same weeble-wobble effect as dnd 5e, it has a condition called Wounded which makes it more dangerous to go down to 0 hp successively, incentivizing PCs to try and stay above 0. The encounter balance in pf2e is also just miles better than Dnd5e.

    Fabula Ultima is modeled to feel like a JRPG (and does so wonderfully). Because healing is often a staple in those games, that feeling comes through well. Dropping to 0 hp removes you from the combat entirely, so it’s a very bad thing to happen. The numbers are also smaller and tighter. Healing also often targets the whole party.




  • Each to their own. I really hate the resulting meta it leads to. Healing is worthless in dnd 5e because of the action economy, it makes more sense to let someone go down and then bring them back up. That’s slightly better in pathfinder but not much. Overall I just really hate the combat in dnd 5e though, it’s so incredibly boring. Especially after having played other systems.
