Effect For A Luckstone?

[JHale1966]

I received a Luckstone from our game last night and not sure how to code it as an effect I can place on my character.

Does anyone already have an effect built?

Thanks!

I’ll need reminding on what that does, but I have a feeling that there’s no effect that will cover that.

+1 to ability checks and saves. I think you can do the save part (SAV:1) but would have to check the wiki to be sure. Don't know if you can give an effect for ability checks, again, would have to look at the wiki. and I've got to head out the door in just a moment.

[Zacchaeus]

Ah ok, well I was wrong. The effects you need are CHECK: 1; SAVE: 1

[JHale1966]

So I would list the effect as "LuckStone; CHECK: 1; SAVE: 1" (without the quotes?)

MOD: corrected syntax

[LordEntrails]

Almost, use a semi-colon after the descriptor. So;
LuckStone; CHECK: 1; SAVE: 1

[JHale1966]

Great! Thank you. :)

:) Start a New thread with an appropriate title, put all the links you can find in it, ask the moderators to add it to the 5E resources thread and then keep it up to date and we will all be thankful to you :)

Also make sure you check out the effects threads, as they might have more exmaples or at least be a good reference.

Sorry to resurrect an ancient thread, but super new to fantasy grounds and all of this is crazy overwhelming. Where do you actually place the effect? Is it somewhere in the powers tab? Can you actually apply it to the item itself so that when it's equipped it will just "work"?

[Scuba72]

Short answer - Effects go in the actions tab under powers. Effects are created by right clicking on that tab under powers and selecting add effect then selecting what type of effect it is.
No you cant apply an effect directly to an item. Effects are applied to characters but you can create effects that never expire ( like fire resistance) or effects that expire on the next roll and just about everything in between.
Relax, do some reading, and watch some videos, then jump in a have fun. Im a head first kinda guy myself and yes this system can easily overwhelm anyone, and with a quickness.

Start here if you're new. I just started about a month ago and after watching some of the videos in this thread, I've already started playing around with trying to create my own effects.
For a lot of the effects I use this page (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Effects)

Not sure if your using FGC or FGU.
This extension definitely works for FGC.

It will let you add effects to items, the effect is added and removed when toggled from carried/equipped in the inventory tab.
Give the thread a read it should explain better than me writing it all out. If you still have questions let us know.

LuckStone: CHECK: 1; SAVE: 1

In Unity doesn't seem work for skills...or ability checks for that matter. Just saves

[Zacchaeus]

You should have a semi colon after the luckstone not a colon Luckstone;CHECK:1;SAVE:1

[Apocrypha]

Ah, yes. My fault for just copying/pasting from the post above. All works now. Luckstone; CHECK: 1;SAVE: 1;SKILL: 1

[claycub]

LuckStone;CHECK:1;SAVE:1 - No spaces, Correct use of Colon/Semi-Colon - ENJOY!

[Zacchaeus]

LuckStone:CHECK:1;SAVE:1 - No spaces, Correct use of Colon/Semi-Colon - ENJOY!

You have a colon after LuckStone - it should be a semi-colon.

[Apocrypha]

You have a colon after LuckStone - it should be a semi-colon.

And that is why I had a problem in the first place. Copying/pasting someone else's mistake. For the record this is what worked for me (spaces and all):

Luckstone; CHECK: 1;SAVE: 1;SKILL: 1

Not sure about the skill part. CHECK: 1 will give a +1 bonus to all checks - including skill (and initiative) checks. If you also include SKILL: 1 then you'll be getting a +2 bonus to all skill rolls instead of +1.

[Apocrypha]

I guess I better double CHECK that.
