Settings Descriptions

Armor Penalty

Determines the kind of penalty to apply for PCs wearing armor.

• Increased Speed Effort: default value. Wearing armor increases the cost of using Speed Effort.
• Reduce Speed Pool, Might cost per hour: wearing armor reduces the size of your Speed pool and incurs a cost of a certain number of Might points per hour it's worn. That information is not computed automatically: it is visible under your Armor score at the top of the PC sheet.
• Don't take armor penalties into account for rolls and calculations: ignore any penalty or handle them yourself.

Character Sheet

Character Sheet version to use.

• Numenera: default value. Has a "Numenera" tab containing Oddities.
• The Strange: has a "Strange" tab for cyphers and artifacts, as well as a "Recursions" tab for listing the Recursions the PC visited, its laws, focus, etc.

Cypher Types

Select the cypher types to use.

• None: default value. Cypher do not have a type.
• Anoetic/Occultic: use these two types of cyphers.
• Subtle/fantastic/manifest: use these three types of cyphers.

d20 Rolling

Controls the behavior of dice rolling for tasks, either from Roll buttons on the PC sheet or from macros.

• Output plain task level success without modifiers: default value. Die rolls will simply display the task level you've achieve on that die roll, regardless of any modifiers (eg. skill levels, assets, etc.)
• Output task level success, adding modifiers: Die rolls will add any known modifiers (eg. skill levels, assets, etc.) Does not apply to rolls with a fixed task level, when using the Effort dialog.

Out of order recovery use

If checked, will allow players to use their recoveries in any order, which is a very popular house rule. Otherwise, recoveries must be used in order, from the shortest to the longest one.
