I need help making two very special effects.

The first is for the Invoker daily "Lamentation of the wicked"
The effect gives all allies: +con mod to dmg vs enemies granting combat advantage.

The second is for the druid swarm form.
The effect is: Resist 3 vs ranged and melee but not close or area.

Any ideas how I can make these as droppable effects?

Currently, there is no way to specify the effects that you have posted.

When I built the effects system for 4E, I focused on making sure that the core rulebooks were well-supported, and to work on the expansion books later.

I'll add it to the list of features to add for future versions.

Thanks Moon you have made it possible for me to play 4e with friends really far away and I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that. I do not know much about xml or coding but it seems that the following would be the easiest ways to implement those effects:

DMG: [CON] if CA (or "if GRANTCA")
RESIST: 3 ranged; RESIST: 3 melee

Since melee and ranged are values in power entries that the prone effect already reference they should be easier than implementing an "if" modifier. I know there are some "if marked" abilities that would benefit too.

Once again, thanks so much to you and all of smiteworks for making possible what I had only dreamed. The interface and ruleset make the game so flawless I would be hesistant to go back to pencil and paper even if we were all in the same room let alone state.
