Thread: How to properly write if effects

For effects that are defending the action (e.g. AC for an attack, SAVE for a cast/save action) then the target IFT is reversed and checked against the creature with the IFT effect.
So, in this case, a PC having the IFT: ALIGN (evil); AC: 2 deflection; SAVE: 2 resistance effect on them, does give the PC the AC and SAVE effects if an evil creature targets them with the relevant action.

It took me a while to defrag what how IF/IFT statements worked out, but in a nutshell:
IF(you) is for when the actor themselves meet the condition (blinded, shaken, SIZE: small, etc.)
IFT(arget) is for when outside entities meet the conditions, whether to hit them or about to be hit by them.
So, for instance, upon using Protection of evil on YOURSELF, [IFT: ALIGN (evil); AC 2 deflection; SAVE: 2 bonus] would give YOU +2 to AC and Saves from anyone that's evil attacking you, and if you cast it on someone else, they would get +2 to AC and saves from anything evil attacking it.
If anyone sees any hole in this logic of thinking of IF/IFT effects, please do!

Yes, that's correct.
The only other consideration is that IFT will only work with rolls that are enabled to be targeted (such as attacks, damage, saving throws, etc.)

So I've had luck with with chaining IFT: tags, but you have to do it separate tests in the chain, so for evil outsider bane the line goes:
IFT: TYPE(outsider); IFT: TYPE (evil); ATK: 2; DMG: 2; DMG: 2d6
The double test seems to work so far, only effecting creature with both the Outsider and Evil types.

Thanks! Been using the tool for several months now, and have been trolling the forums since then. Finally decided to try and contribute something.
Thanks again for the welcome!
