Damage Distribution aka "Fireball"

[Patou]

Hi team,

I play a in-house game around a gaming table using FG. My players however enjoys rolling their own dice. Messing around with FG I found two ways I could quickly make the save DC and distribute damage to my creatures from the spell for example.

* making a DM character only visible to me and putting all the spells the PC's have in there and removing the dice roll and only adding the total they rolled as a bonus and their save dc?
or
* having each player enter their character into FG (which is what I want to do) and have them simply entering their total damage under the spell action as a bonus and again removing the dice so no roll is made?

Is there a better option that could speed things up for me from rolling each creatures save and distributing the damage to save game time?

Thank you

In my games when I ran face to face, I would have both the NPCs and basic stats for PCs entered into FG. Then, I would make all NPC rolls through FG, and have the PCs roll manually. Then, I would just adjust hit points in the combat tracker manually, and add effects as needed. If I had already set up the PCs completely, I could use their sheets to apply effects as well.

With the fairly recent addition of the manual roll option, you could also turn that option on, run the full sheets in FG, and just enter the PC rolls. Then, FG would still do all the calculations and comparisons for you.
