Hi,
I was creating an NPC and was curious how the immunities field got parsed into an actual effect on the combat tracker. I copied and pasted an entry from the MM, and even though the entry is written in plain English, it was correctly translated into the right effect.
The description "piercing, slashing, etc damage from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered" got translated to an effect that went like "piercing,slashing, !magic, !silvered"
I was expecting to type in the effect properties directly rather than the normal text description. How does this work? Does it look for key words like "from" or "aren't"?
