Effects Syntax list

[ffujita]

*edit* There is already a good thread devoted to examples of 5e effects with syntax -- so everyone should go there instead of contributing here.

I would like to create (and maintain) a list of 5E rules that are handled well with the Effects action with their syntax in FG. So far I've only got two that I've stolen from other threads in this forum. *I* am no effects syntax wizard so if you have some that you use, please provide them below, and I'll update this list. Text in {} are comments and should not go in the effect syntax

Rogue Sneak Attack; DMG: 2d6; [ACTION]; [SELF] {change the "2" to the correct number from Rogue Table}
Paladin Divine Smite Undead; IFT: TYPE(undead, fiend); DMG: 1d8 radiant; [ACTION]; [SELF] {doesn't work correctly until 3.1.3}

I don't know how my forum search missed that entry -- In that case, I'll go work on that thread. Thanks!

I've made it sticky so it should get buried in future. :)

ffujita: before you cause yourself a great deal of work you should be aware that in the current test version of Fantasy Grounds (3.1.3) which will become live soon Moon Wizard has updated the internal parser so that all spells will now parse creating all of the effects that the spell will need.

I'd suggest also you have a look at this (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?26235-Help-my-spells-don-t-parse) thread and also the character sheet page on the wiki (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Character_Sheet) particularly from 3.6 onward. I am also hoping to spend some time updating the rest of the wiki articles over the next few weeks and will likely add some more examples to the effects section of the wiki once 3.1.3 has gone live.

One other note; many abilities can be dragged into the actions tab and will par5e correctly without having to set up the effects manually (Sneak attack being one of them and the paladin's smite attacks will also work correctly from 3.1.3 onwards)
