NPC Trait, Effects in CT?

[celestian]

So, I did some more reading of the wiki and could not find mention on what the string/format is required for making effects on NPCs. That said, there are some at least. The troll for example, if given a trait like this:


The troll regains 3 hit points at the start of its turn.

It will have "Effects: (REGEN:3)".

Is there documentation somewhere that explains all the combinations for these? I've got a few creatures that have +2 to saves, others I might want to give other things but I just am not sure what the format is for this.

The wiki I found that mentioned it but didn't seem to cover it was this:

5e is parsing the descriptive text and applying the effect so you should replicate a similar example as closely as possible and it should pick it up.

We should designate Nickademus as Sir Effects. He has successfully fielded many questions in this area over the last week or two.

I dug into the effect heavily when making my old extension. I generally help new players make effects in every game I'm in, and even the veteran players tend to ask me first for effect syntax before heading to the wiki. I guess in a way, I already am...
