Initial public release of Shadowrun 5e Aid Helpers, bringing modernized ApplicationV2 play aids, automated roll calculations, interactive vehicle chase tracking, and GM assistant tools to Foundry VTT (v13 & v14).
🚗 Vehicle Chase Manager (ApplicationV2)
- Multi-Tab Chase Manager: GMs can run and monitor multiple simultaneous vehicle chases with dedicated tabs and an interactive
+ New Chase launcher.
- Canvas Token Picker: Click-to-assign Pursuer and Evader drivers directly from canvas tokens (
controlToken / targetToken hooks).
- Interactive Cyberpunk Range Track:
- Horizontal left-to-right range track displaying all 4 SR5 distance categories (Kurz, Mittel, Lang, Maximal).
- Distinct visual carets: Dark Grey Caret for Initial Start position, Glowing Cyan Caret for active position, and Red Target Crosshairs for Pursuer's Goal distance.
- Node circles remain standard dark gold-bordered circles.
- SR5 Core Rules Terrain Limits:
- Geschwindigkeit [Speed] Mode (Frei / Highway / Open Sky):
0–10m, 11–50m, 51–150m, 151–300m.
- Handling Mode (Eng / City Streets / Canyons):
0–5m, 6–20m, 21–80m, 81–150m.
- Directional Movement Physics:
- Pursuer net hits move the distance towards Pursuer's Target Goal.
- Evader net hits move the distance in the opposite direction away from the Pursuer's goal.
- Special Vehicle Actions:
- Rammen (Ramming): Calculates collision damage ($\text{Attacker Body} + \text{Net Hits}$) and self-damage ($\lceil \text{Attacker Body} / 2 \rceil$). Automatically applies physical damage directly to token condition monitors with GM chat card controls.
- Schneiden (Cut Off): Triggers immediate defender Crash Avoidance Test (Unfall vermeiden) threshold check.
- Player Live Viewer & Real-Time Socket Sync:
- Auto-opens a live left-to-right tracking app for player clients when a chase begins.
