[Request]Have Spell Points be an Attribute accessible for item consumption calls

[Silentdarkness12]

I'd like to request that the spell points item add the value as an attribute or resource that can be utilized by the 5e system for use in consumption values. The reason why i'm mentioning this is because if you want to have a feat tap into spell points for any reason(such as restoring spell points), you currently can only tell it to point at a specific item id in the compendium. The problem is that if you need to have separate versions of the spell point item, it winds up being broken(which specifically can be one of those multiclassing issues).

If it could access the spell point as an attribute or value already attached to the actor itself, this would be less prone to problems that need manually fixing.

Hello, may you be a little more specific on the use case? You should already be able to use it in consumption value selecting the Item Uses:

That is something you can do, but I do wish it had more flexibility. If you are running a setup where Spell Points are a more constant use case, and not merely a variant rule, it is a bit trickier to integrate everything nicely.

The specific thing that set this off for me is not being able to set Spell Points as a resource bar default, such as on the token. It turns into a lot of manual fiddling, to my recollection.

You are right.
The module used to attach to resources. I had to switch to items, sadly was not my choiche, time ago the 5e system deprecated the resources and hinted to use items instead.

Now using resources has become a lot trickier to use and observe if changed. It has to be done manually.

Like for consumption targets you can choose items now for resource bars.

The only place where we aren't able to show the items uses is the comback tracker I think.

And hearing that really, really stings. I hope that changes some day. Not being able to arrange any automation for some of this stuff is intolerable.

Yep. Some automation is possible anyway I have recently added active effects references and macro helpers.

You can find the instructions at the end of the readme.

The latest version comes with resource binding. That means you can create a mana potion that replenish x spell points using the resource primary, secondary or tertiary.

if the item is not on a character you won't see "Spell Points" you have to choose the same resource you selected in the module configuration (like: resources.secondary.value)
