5e AEs
I've been messing pretty heavily with some Active Effect assumptions and mechanisms in 5e. This is my take on an Active Effect Sheet which trims way back on the number of 'useless' fields visible at once, and tries to derive as much as possible from the source item.

The sheet makes use of datalists and a curated list of actor attributes to provide hinting/searchability, while maintaining the ability to enter whatever if needed:

I like the descriptions in the datalist 💯

Furthermore, the module aims to make application of these effects easy for a GM.
If the "Active" Effect targets "Self", the effect is automatically put on the actor using the item.
If the "Active" Effect targets ... not-self... the GM gets a chat message with effects listed out to be dragged onto tokens (or maybe one-click applied to targeted tokens, havn't gotten that far yet)

The chat message is dope
I would maybe add a gap between the columns here

How come there is no border around non-focused inputs?
It looks clean, but it's a bit of a misleading UX

still very WIP
I've been going back and forth about this tbh... I feel like this could be derived entirely
but I'm not 100% sure
lol the code's messy as fuck. Working around the wierd assumptions AEs have baked in is a challenge

yeah, i'm most concerned about cases where an item or potion or something has several different effects of different targets/durations/etc

I'm also not tackling duration exipry in this, that's a whole can of worms... I'm aiming to make it as easy as possible for GMs to manually manage effects.

tbh i almost didn't put duration on this...
but if nothing else it will populate the AE data correctly, and it'll be visible as a refernece

can probably seed that data with the item's data, and if the item has a duration it might not need to be editable on the effect
will have to keep looking for the one case that ruins everything 😛

This is brilliant!

Could always go with an editable field that defaults to derived data

targeted tokens preserved at time of item usage, so the GM can do this even if the player has un-targeted/retargeted things

this looks wonderful! my only little input is that the icon tint color could probably be just a color on the side of the label, the big rectangle looks a little weird spacially
