Just curious if there is an easier way to create effects or a plug in that helps build them. Hard to keep up with players who want complicated makes and keep the game going with little interruptions. I see a great deal of info and tools for 5E but very small amount for 3.5/pathfinder. Any clarification be very much appreciated. Got a few classes that use different abilities or need very unique effects. The effects wiki does help but lacks complicated effects formulas but unsure it can go above or simplistic formula.

Honestly - push this back on your players. Advise them that if they want to use effects they need to learn/research how to do it... :)
Well... thats what I do anyway!

Can you give us some examples? The community is usually pretty good at coming up with solutions, andf there are lots of us playing 3.5E/Pathfinder...

I agree with damned, but one other thing I always do is keep the complete package series of level 20 characters ready to upload to help me build effects. You probably have all these, but take a look at the bottom of the thread posted below and if you haven't already, download them and you can drag and drop effects as a great starting point.

Shoot. I'm sorry. I just realized my post is not helpful to you. I see you are looking for info for 3.5 and pathfinder. My apologies.

Lokiare has been working on an extension that provides a wizard like interface for use in building effects.

Thanks for info guys. Got a player playing a warder and has an ability called Armiger's mark. Get a penalty to hit if its not warder using this ability. Anyway to make everyone but the warder gets a negative to hit.
May have a solution but like to hear advice. Target all allies and make the effect gives the allies a Ac boost for the X amount of rounds.
Alot if abilities it has can use the sneak attack like effect which makes it extremely easy.
