Summary

Three related gaps in existing PF2e stat block sections where Foundry VTT data is available but currently discarded during normalization.

Attack effects

Melee items have system.attackEffects.value (e.g., ["grab"], ["lich-siphon-life"]) linking on-hit effects to attacks. In official PF2e format, attacks read "Damage 2d12+7 piercing plus Grab". Currently the damage is shown but the "plus Grab" part is missing. The ability itself (Grab, Knockdown, etc.) is visible as a separate entry, but the inline link to the specific attack is not.

Ability frequency

Action items have system.frequency with max and per fields (e.g., {max: 1, per: "day"}). Without this, limited-use abilities like Drain Soul Cage appear unlimited. Should render as "(1/day)" or "(1/round)" alongside the ability name.

Perception details

system.perception.details contains qualifying text like "smoke vision" that should appear on the perception line alongside senses. Currently only the senses array is extracted.

Acceptance Criteria

Attack lines show inline on-hit effects (e.g., "plus Grab", "plus Siphon Life") after the damage
Limited-use abilities display their frequency (e.g., "(1/day)", "(1/round)") alongside the ability name
Perception details text (e.g., "smoke vision") appears on the perception line alongside senses
Attacks without on-hit effects and abilities without frequency limits render unchanged

## Summary Three related gaps in existing PF2e stat block sections where Foundry VTT data is available but currently discarded during normalization. ### Attack effects Melee items have `system.attackEffects.value` (e.g., `["grab"]`, `["lich-siphon-life"]`) linking on-hit effects to attacks. In official PF2e format, attacks read "Damage 2d12+7 piercing **plus Grab**". Currently the damage is shown but the "plus Grab" part is missing. The ability itself (Grab, Knockdown, etc.) is visible as a separate entry, but the inline link to the specific attack is not. ### Ability frequency Action items have `system.frequency` with `max` and `per` fields (e.g., `{max: 1, per: "day"}`). Without this, limited-use abilities like Drain Soul Cage appear unlimited. Should render as "(1/day)" or "(1/round)" alongside the ability name. ### Perception details `system.perception.details` contains qualifying text like "smoke vision" that should appear on the perception line alongside senses. Currently only the `senses` array is extracted. ## Acceptance Criteria - [x] Attack lines show inline on-hit effects (e.g., "plus Grab", "plus Siphon Life") after the damage - [x] Limited-use abilities display their frequency (e.g., "(1/day)", "(1/round)") alongside the ability name - [x] Perception details text (e.g., "smoke vision") appears on the perception line alongside senses - [x] Attacks without on-hit effects and abilities without frequency limits render unchanged
