Battle Issue problems

[D34thbr1ng3r]

Hello guys, I'm new using FG. I'm trying to set an example of battle here with the Core Pack PHG, 1 player vs a random monster.

On the time/battle tracker with both PC and NPC, only on the NPC appear the option for attacks like bite, shortsword... on the created PC, even with the full character sheet, list of equipement, armor and weapon, the options for attack doesn't appear.

What am I missing here?

Welcome to the FG forums D34thbr1ng3r

PC attacks don't appear in the Combat Tracker, only NPC attacks. The Combat Tracker is primarily a GM tool, having PC attacks in there would just make it too cluttered as PC attacks (actions) are a lot more complex and take up more space. If the GM needs to roll PC attacks they can click the link in the combat tracker to open the PC sheet and roll from there.

More info on the combat tracker in the Wiki -> User guides section. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Combat_Tracker (Assuming you're running 5E).

Oh didnt know. I saw some older videos and thought the traxker had it.

So, for the players, what is the easiest optio s for quick attacks and actions?

How can I put attacks or actions on the quick slot bar? (The bottom one).

The players will do all of their actions from their character sheet. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Character_Sheet

Also note that the players see a quite different view of the combat tracker. Info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Combat_Tracker

You can also launch another instance of Fantasy Grounds on the same computer and "Join Game" with an address of localhost This will allow you to see the different views that a player sees and is invaluable in learning exactly what the player view looks like.

Drag the action link (dice button for attack, blood drop icon for damage, etc.). https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/The_Basics#Drag_and_Drop

I'd recommend reading through most of the user manual to give you a good grounding in the basics: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/filelibrary/FantasyGroundsUserManual.pdf
