Abilities
Abilities covers various powers and capabilities within The Back Hack 2e system and this page provides some details about this. Within the system an ability can represent something that a character can pick up from their race or their class. They are also used to represent creature abilities. To create a new ability you need to open your game world, select the Items Directory tab from the FoundryVTT menu and click on the Create Item button. This will popup a small dialog into which you can enter the name for your new ability. Next select the 'ability' option from the type dropdown field and click on the Create New Item button. A base record will be created for your new ability and the create dialog will be replaced with one that looks something like the following...
On this dialog you can edit the name of your ability and provide a representative image for it too if you so want by clicking on the picture in the top left hand corner of the dialog. Below the this is a tags field. This is not currently used and can be ignored for now. At the bottom of the dialog is an area for an item description. Roll your mouse over this area and Foundry will display an edit icon. Click on this icon and you'll get an edit area into which you can enter your description for the item. Remember to click the Save button on the edit area tool bar when you're happy with what you've entered.
To add an ability to a character or creature open the relevant character or creature sheet and drag and drop the ability from the list in Foundry on to the sheet.
