    Help coding Dragon Slayer Feat

    Trying to setup the coding for saves vs dragon breath weapon and dragon fear.

    Using - Dragon Slayer; IFT: TYPE(dragon); SAVE: [PRF] dexterity, wisdom

    What it shows is an increase in saves for dex and wis (base of +5, +2 respectively) of +2 (current prof) but when you roll it adds only the normal bonus of +5 or +2 without the +2 weather its a dragon or something else.

    Update: Dragon Slayer (ac); IFT: TYPE (dragon); AC: 2 this applies the AC for any attacker, not just dragons

    Any ideas what I'm missing?

    Your problem is that SAVE is not a targeted effect. For more information on targeted effects see here https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...fect-Targeting

    What that means is that you can't include it in an IF or IFT effect. In your case you can create an effect of SAVE:2 and just apply it when you are about to be breathed on by a dragon.

    It's a similar situation with AC. Whilst it can, in certain circumstances, be used as a targeted effect it won't work with what you want to do.

    So your only option is to create an effect of AC:2 and apply just before being attacked by a dragon.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Doable if using BCEG at least

    Using https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/155/view ("Better Combat Effects Gold", paid extension)


    Code:
    Dragon Slayer; IF: SOURCE(dragon); AC: 2; SAVE: [PRF] dexterity, wisdom; [SELF]
    Worked in local testing, anyway. Both a defense modifier and a save modifier were triggered with a young red dragon, but not triggered by a mind flayer. Don't think the 'SOURCE' conditional is supported by the older, free version ("Better Combat Effects").
