Since I don't want to post in another thread, I am moving the effects that I am creating to a new thread. I will update this thread as I continue to build effects for all classes. If anyone notices any incorrect effects, please let me know. If you use these effects, read the notes in the spell section for how to use. As you level a class, make sure to adjust the caster level as necessary for any effects that require it.

I have found that the forums only seem to allow a 5 attachment limit per post. See this post for the more effects. (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?42573-Effects-Lists&p=380986&viewfull=1#post380986)

Completed:

Feats
Items
Weapon Criticals
Envoy
Mechanic - Did not make any effects for Drone or Exocortex Mods. Added to my to do list.
Operative
Soldier
Solarian
Technomancer - Very few abilities can be automated here. I have made the effects I can.

To Do:

Mystic
Archetypes
Drone and Exocortex Mods
Star Ship Actions
Pact Worlds Weapons, Items, Feats, Archetypes

Note: The Feats, Items, and Weapon Crit xml is the same one as in this post (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?42446-Effect-and-list-of-effect-created). It has just been re-named for clarity.

There's no effect on deadly aim

Corrected this and re-uploaded the file. I got side tracked attempting to look to see how hard it would be to add a [BAB] tag for effects and never went back to it.

Finally got a look at it and damn, that's really efficient and good way of organizing it. Also helped me figure out how to solve my issue of how to implement a few homebrewed things I was wrecking my head over being new and all to FG.

Glad you are finding it useful. I haven't been able to work on the other sheets (real life sucks), but I should have some time this weekend to knock off a few more on my list.

If you have questions on how to do stuff, let me know. I'll be glad to help.

Added the Operative and had to re-upload Envoy again. It appears a few of the custom IFT effects were not working right.

Hey blahness98,

Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make these effects. You've done an outstanding job and the players at my game have really enjoyed having something that adds a bit more automation to the game. Keep up the good work and happy gaming!

Great work, but I have a couple of suggestions:

Envoy's Get 'Em effect is great but the IFT effect on your allies doesn't need a duration. Just leave it on all the time since it only activates when there's a Get 'Em effect on the enemy.

Operative's Trick Attack is needlessly complex. You're only attacking the one enemy, no need to set up a conditional for the one attack. Just add the ATK and DMG boost on once the GM says you made your check.

I was deciding which way to roll with this. I settled on the single round for both because as the game gets into higher level, the amount of effects on the tracker can get pretty large. I didn't want to add to the mess that could happen. But, you can easily leave on ally effect on by removing the round limit.


Operative's Trick Attack is needlessly complex. You're only attacking the one enemy, no need to set up a conditional for the one attack. Just add the ATK and DMG boost on once the GM says you made your check.

I think I originally made the effect to make use of the Flat-footed condition. When I tested the effect to see if worked correctly, I noticed the Flat-footed condition was incorrect. I then just adjusted the effect to add a +2 to the attack. I then realized that the effect would then work on all attacks made by the player and I decided to make the effect a custom tag so it would be able to be left on. Then I really over complicated things. I think I will just adjust it to what you suggest as that is easier and leave a note for the player to turn it off when not used.

I know the flat footed condition will work in the next update. This way of doing things would be easier as you do not need to remove the condition after your turn.

What about the other tags I informed you about in the bug thread? See this post..

For those wishing to create their own effects, this is what I have currently worked out. Samarex, feel free to post this to the wiki since I do not have the options to do so.

Conditions:



Conditions
Modifiers Applied
Notes


Asleep

Appears to be a placeholder. Does not place this effect on the person: SKILL: -10, perception; Helpless


Bleeding

Appears to just be a placeholder. Requires DMGO: X, spell/force for the ongoing damage.


Blinded
AC:-2; GRANTCA; SKILL:-2 strength dexterity; SKILL:-4 perception
This is now working correctly.


Broken

Placeholder. There are several different options for this condition.


Burning

Placeholder effect. Requires a DMGO: x fire effect to work properly.


Confused

Placeholder effect.


Cowering
AC: -2
This is not working properly. It appears to be doubling the AC penalty from a possible GRANTCA or Flat-footed effect along with an AC: -2 tag.


Dazed

Placeholder effect only.


Dazzled
ATK:-1; SKILL:-1 perception



Dead

Placeholder Effect


Deafened
INIT: -4; SKILL: -4 perception



Dying

Placeholder Effect. Does not automate anything like in Pathfinder.


Encumbered
SPEED: -10; STR: -5; DEX: -5

Invisible
ATK:2; CA; TCONC
Not in the core rule book conditions chapter. Purely in the rule set by Pathfinder inclusion.


Nauseated

Placeholder Effect.


Off-kilter

Placeholder Effect. The effect should be ATK: -2; Flat-footed


Off-target

Placeholder Effect. Effect should be ATK: -2


Overburdened

Placeholder effect. I don't know if this is possible to automate. Requires individual effects to be created. The speed aspect would be a note for the player/gm, the rest would most likely be hard coded.


Panicked
ATK:-2; SAVE:-2; SKILL:-2; ABIL:-2
Should not include the -2 to attack as it is not in the condition per core rule book.


Paralyzed
AC:-4 melee
Treated as having zero Dex for AC calculation


Pinned
GRANTCA, AC:-4
Appears to be direct copy from PF. Effect could be GRANTCA; ATK: -4; AC: -4; SAVE: -4, reflex; INIT: -4; SKILL: -4, dexterity OR GRANTCA; ATK:-4; DEX: -8


Prone
ATK:-4 melee; AC:-4 melee; AC:4 ranged



Shaken

Stable

Placeholder effect.


Staggered

Placeholder effect.


Stunned
GRANTCA; AC: -2
This effect should not have the additional -2 to AC effect on it. It should only provide Flat-footed.


Unconscious
AC:-4 melee
Treated as having zero Dex for AC calculation, Prone effect should be applied separately

Excuse the delay in getting the rest of the effects up for the other classes. Real life has taken some time along with the games I am running. However, I have the remaining classes in layout and they should be done in a week or two. But in the mean time, here is a sneak peak at the other projects I am working on..

Effects System for 1.0.12
I am working on a some changes to the rule set for next revision.
First is Weapon Critical Effects. I got it working, now if you roll Critical it will show you the Critical Effect in Chat and also Apply the effect to the target for those that can be automated I.E burn 1d6 will apply the effect Burning; DMGO:1d6 and the damage rolls everyturn the target has it. Some effects I believe are allready coded in I just need to appy it, others I will have to code in.
But I plan on getting the weapon criticals done and the rest I will hold off on a bit so I can work on part two.
The second major change is to the character levleing wizard, I need to make some changes to it for the Armory Chap 2.

Once I get those two done I will work on release of the Armory.

Njust a update to whats goung on.

I am working on some of these Right now. (Mainly the ones that are tied to Weapon Critical Hit Effects.) the rest I will get in as soon as I can.
Note on the Encumbrance effect I should be able to get them coded in to change speed and such without any problems)

But I have one question. STACK-ABLE EFFECTS I.E Burning. Does the Reflex save to clear it, clear ALL Burning effects or is a Reflex save per Burning Effect required.
Right now I have them apply separate, but if it only requires 1 Save to clear them all I can have them combine into 1 effect to help make the CT cleaner.

Assuming you are talking about the modules I have in the pipeline, it depends. Right now, I have everything that is open content from the books in modules so you technically would not have to purchase any add on book products. These also include the Dead Suns player options since those were not included with the AP releases due to the rule set not being able to incorporate any class changes. Granted, Sam appears to be working on that issue, so my modules are most likely only going to be redundant or not needed for anyone that purchases everything released. These would be helpful for those that do not want to purchase anything beyond the CRB.

But, I am actually holding off on releasing these until 1.1.2 is released so I can see how the changes in the classes work with the mods.

Ok got the Weapon Critical Effects portion of 1.0.12 finished. (Hope to get it pushed to Test Server so some of you can start testing it to see if anything need changed of fixed).
I will now start on the changes required for adding content to Classes.

Weapon Critical Effects automation.
When a Critical hit is rolled if the weapon has a critical effect it now applies to the target(s). Most are either straight effects that are already coded or informational effects applied to let GM know what need done. I.E Arc. it's effect is 1d6 damage to 1 target within a 10' radius of the target. (we don't have a way to deal with AOE yet so I just put the effect up so the GM knows what he needs to do. The effect will clear at the end of the Target turn if the GM don't remove it.

But for Bleed, Burn/Corrode, Wound and Severe Wound there is extra coding.
Bleed (Replacable) If a target gets say bleeding 1d4 and then is again hit with a Bleed effect 1d6 the bleeding 1d4 effect will be replaced with the 1d6 version.
if again hit with a 1d4 version the effect just stays at the 1d6 version.
Burn (Stack-able) I didnt want a bunch of burning effects just adding to the target so I worked out a combining system.
A target get Burn 1d4 (Burning d4;DMGO: 1d4 fire) then again gets hit with Burn 1d4 his Burning d4 effect updates to (Burning d4;DMGO: 2d4 fire). If he gets hit with a 1d6 version then the effect (Burning d6;DMGO: 1d6 fire) is added to his list.
Corrode works the Same way as Burn.
Wound and Severe Wound
These effects when given will first generate a random d20 and apply the proper wound from the wound table 7-11 Wounding Weapons pg 183.
Severe Wound will do this twice and apply both for the character or GM to pick which one they want and delete the other one.

Hello, guys!
Maybe i'm being noob, but is there a way to add an effect into an enemy that adds bonus to attacks against him?
Like get'em, of the Envoy?
I understand that i can give an attack bonus effect to my allies, but it would be nice to get this bonus only against ONE enemy...

October 15th, 2019, 15:17
What I do for Get 'Em is to put an effect on all players like this:

IFT: CUSTOM(Get 'Em); ATK: 1

Then the Envoy has an effect that's just "Get 'Em" and she puts it on the enemy she's targeting. The IFT (If Target) effect spots the Get 'Em effect on the enemy and adds one to the attack roll.

If it toward only 1 enemy you can always do AC:-1 in the target, Attack +1 or Defence-1 is the same out come.

One thing to remember is Get em is a Moral bonus so it dont stack if a player already has a moral bonus..
After I get AA3 and COM converted thats my first priorty to set up so effects can have a type tag on them and it will check if that bonus type is being used alreadyand apply which one is higher. To prevent bonus stacking.

That's how you use the effects - they are dummy PCs that you import and then access the effects on the PC actions tab.

I think you are suppose to use these blank character sheets to create your character. If I am correct you will just import a new character sheet aka "BLANK TEMPLATE" for each PC for the class you are trying to create. If am am wrong perhaps someone else can "explain it like I am 5" :), because post #3 only explains how to import and not what to do with the sheets after you have them in your PC folder.

Some of the changes made to the SFRPG ruleset have opened the door for better "use of effects". The Actions tab allows more things to be created now. those sheets are not as complete as they could be "now".

I have been wanting to create a module with it all but since we can not re-drop spells or actions with the effects added so they can be exported it will be some time. If it happens?

Here's to hoping.

It looks like the Operative's Edge bonus "Operative's Edge (Level 1); SKILL: 1 insight" is applying a +1 on every skill (even if it already has a higher insight bonus).
Is there an issue with the formatting or is that just a limitation of the program+ruleset?

Insight bonus can be tracked on the skills tab.

Yes, although I was hoping the logic would exist in fantasygrounds for it to just pick the higher number as per the rules. This way, if one bonus outpaced the other, it would automatically switch over.

deer_buster
March 31st, 2020, 21:57
seriously though, that is a future part of the plan, which is why skill bonuses were broken out like they are...(that may not be the final solution). It just takes a lot of time to implement a lot of those types of automation changes (and we get arguments from others in the community that don't want that kind of automation, so which way should we go?) as well as implement major changes for things like AA3, COM, etc.

I'm totally new to FGU, so forgive the question if it seems simple to veterans, but how to you use these? FGU isn't exactly the easiest UI to learn from scratch, but I'm getting there! :)

I imported the files as users and I see all the created skills/feats/weapon crits/etc in the spells tab, but how do I actually use them during a session?

I'm going to use the various class xmls as templates for my players, so I get that part. How do the weapon crit effects get applied and how do I copy them to each user? Do I have to re-write anything for my players?

I'm relatively new to FG - picked it up when I heard about the Unity version last fall. There is a lot built into FG, but there is also a lot of frustration with the UI (imo). Your screenshots have helped me get more configuration of my team into FG as just being pointed towards the Effects Wiki was only partially helpful. Your content really needs to be added to the Wiki!

Bloodright
April 30th, 2020, 17:56
the wiki i use for coding effects is from the Pathfinder ruleset, since the original coder for SF pulled everything from the Pathfinder ruleset(I Believe). Just about every single one works perfectly with SF.

i will have to do a bit of research, and see how much each class differs from each other with the abilities. if i can figure out how to link a coding effect to an ability, that would be ideal. then the player or DM would just need to drag the ability to the action tab, some of these abilities already do this.. so try putting the abilities on the action tab first to see if it is already coded.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I was fiddling with the Operative's Trick attack myself before stumbling on this thread and I do have a way to automate the initial check.

Add a "spell" in the Actions tab for each of the three possible checks (stealth, bluff, intimidate)
Add and ability action of the Cast Type
Attack is Ability + Skill [+ Modifiers]
Defense is 20 + CR


Here's an example for the stealth check for a Lvl 1 operative with the Ghost specialisation
37556

Also, something I don't really understand - why apply a "Tricked" effect to the targeted enemy?
Isn't it less work for all parties to only apply an effect to the player, when the check is successful, which expires after their turn?

deer_buster
July 10th, 2020, 04:16
If I was setting that up, it would just be to indicate WHY they were flat-footed or the other one for debilitating trick....if it is just on the level 1 trick attack, setting a Tricked indicator for a single roll is pointless and too many extra steps.

My feelings exactly. If it was an effect with a duration longer than the same action that gives the effect, I would have done the same. As it is now, it just gives the GM an extra task to manually remove the effect after the next roll or two, which seems silly to me.


How do you create the "Ability Use" window? I followed your steps but non of the cast types I could create are like the screen shot you provided.
Sorry, like deer_buster mentions, it needs to be done from the Actions tab, which wasn't made clear, so I've updated my original post to better reflect this.

You should end up with something like this
37630

So start by making an ability class in the Actions tab
Select # of sections to b 1
Name the section (mine says Trick Attack)
And then follow the steps from the previous post

In the image, you can see 2 buttons: one for the check and one for the effect (the latter of which they only press if they were successful; easy as pie).

ATK:2 is to substitute for flat-footed, since mechanically it's the same.
The only downside to my solution is that if the effect is applied and the PC misses the target, the GM needs to manually remove the rest of the effect (the added dmg die)

I noticed that some of the Starfinder coding effects here don't always work on Fantasy Grounds Unity. Here is a version of Trick Attack for an operative that does work on FGU as of today's version (9/26/20). Some of the things that really threw me were semi-colons versus colons, and lower case vs upper case sensitivity. Also knowing to target self or targets is tricky. attached is a screenshot with the magnifying glass menus opened to see the coding effect.

deer_buster
October 12th, 2020, 19:05
Semi-colon vs colon usage hasn't changed between the two versions. Case currently matters, although a case (pun intended) could be made for it not to matter. Superteddy has a universal effects engine in the hopper that will hopefully simplify effects and make it more natural language....but that could be a while away.

User-friendly, quality of life changes are always great. What would rock would be a drop-down list effects statement builder with validation, so that users wouldn't have to leave FG Unity to figure out how to add Trick Attack IF statement or DMGO for example, quickly.

Well, even better yet is to have the effects built into the abilities, so you just drag, say, Trick Attack to the actions tab and it builds it for you...which would be much easier than doing what you suggested.

For the Trick Attack, in the image posted above by CommanderSalamander, I wouldn't put a Duration on the IFT statement(s); they should be permanent so that the Player doesn't have to keep clicking the IFT statement buttons. The CUSTOM text on the Target will determine which IFT statement will be utilized. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand how you feel because I felt the same way when I started GMing SF. I will try to help but others here may have better suggestions. The examples on page 3 of this thread are very helpful. The language that FG uses to automate effects is similar but not always exact between rulesets. This means that you can search how to do something in another ruleset and it will probably work. It's also important to remember that the SF ruleset is evolving into a more powerful ruleset as the Developers add functionality. The XML effects that you imported as PCs are to be used as an example. Create a new PC and refer to the XML PC to see if an Effect can be automated. Sometimes even though the example says you can't automate an effect you really can now because of an improvement to FG or an extension has been created to provide that ability.

Start slow and replicate some basic effects using the page 3 examples. Use the "Actions" tab to create categories of the PCs abilities that can be automated.

My understanding is that available Effects are based on the ruleset coding. Other than essential code maintenance and additions required to sell new Paizo Starfinder products, the Starfinder ruleset is mostly frozen at its current state. There is also a major FG update that @Moonwizard just announced that is also preventing rulesets from updating until after these new changes are released. SW also does not have a dedicated employee developer for the SFRPG ruleset currently. @Superteddy57 is doing his best to keep everything functioning here until someone is hired to work on SFRPG ruleset improvements full time. If anyone feels I have gotten something wrong, please comment and correct my explanation.

If you are a GM and you drag an NPC with a vulnerability to the Combat Tracker the vulnerability effect will fail to transfer to the Combat Tracker. This caused by the ruleset not properly parsing the NPC sheet. How do you fix this problem? You need to look at a NPC such as the Assembly Ooze, there is a category named Weaknesses and this is where Vulnerability will be listed. In order to fix this problem you should open the NPC and unlock it's sheet. If the sheet is unlockable then you must drag and drop the NPC within the NPC window. This will create a unlocked duplicate of the original locked NPC sheet.

Once the NPC sheet is open you will need to add it to the Defensive Abil. category which currently has this entry "Immunities ooze immunities; SR 0". Because there are already defenses listed you will need to add the following without the quotes, add a ";" and a "space" followed by "Weaknesses Vulnerable to electricity". Here is how you Defensive Abil. entry will look. "Immunities ooze immunities; SR 0; Weaknesses Vulnerable to electricity". I would also delete the text in the Weaknesses category. You can lock the NPC sheet now. Now drag the NPC link to the Combat Tracker and you should see "VULN: electricity" listed in the NPC effects.

What if you have an NPC with two Vulnerabilities such as the Maintenance Robots from Dark Suns AP5. The Defenses Abil. entry is "nanite repair; Immunities construct immunities, Weaknesses vulnerable to electricity, vulnerable to critical hits"

Half damage from a effect: Like Fire
So I get this: RESIST: 15 fire
And that will reduce the damage by 15 but if I want to Resist half the damge what do I put in: Tried
RESIST: H fire thinking that would be half
RESIST: fire thinking that would be half

So what is the correct Effect?

There currently is no effect for that. You'd have to use the manual half damage button in the global modifiers.

Trying to figure out how to download the .xml and must be missing something. I see at the bottom where it says "Attached Files" but there is nothing to click

Threw the effect strings into an Effects module (I hope I attached it correctly). I tried to remove duplicates and conditions provided normally by button push (unless it was tied to a specific ability).

Before I go all in, is there anything currently like this?

It's just a sample of what I'm working on and includes the Technomancer and Soldier entries that had effects coding. But as spells. There is no class or level restrictions but you do need to have a Spells grouping defined to drag it in to on your character sheet Spells tab.

Should clarify, the spells group name can be anything. The group just has to exist so you can drop a "spell" on it.

Happy New Year!

The attached module contains all the effects, I hope, from the class XML files in both Effect and Spell formats. These are just the effects without the corresponding texts - unsure on OGL implications of my full version so stripped out most texts. Granted, you can fill them in if you want. Hope this helps.

This is a excellent contribution to the Starfinder community. You can include the descriptions as long as you include the required legal statements. You need the OGL statement in your module and you can take a look at https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?22402-OGL-material-for-use-in-Fantasy-Grounds and https://aonsrd.com/Licenses.aspx also look at how user Evolivolution created their modules and what they inculded for legal purposes. https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/430/view

This might be of interest to you. It's those effects in a module: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?71964-Starfinder-Effects-and-Effect-Spells

In regards to using them, how deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

While this video is for classic and the 5e ruleset, the basic principles apply:

This is the FGU wiki on the subject:
https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996641187/Reference+-+Effects

In addition to this forum and FG's discord server, there is an organization named Fantasy Grounds Academy that does a lot to help new players.

You would import them as PCs (Character selection Window - Import - Import from filesystem). After that you could drag and drop it over to other PC sheets.

As Thelgor suggested, the linked module is another option.

Edit: There is also the new updated wiki page (https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/2011037697/Starfinder+Advanced+Effects).

Looks like there is a dedicated page now for Starfinder Effects in the wiki, https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/2011037697/Starfinder+Advanced+Effects.

Can more be added to it? For other classes.
If someone could double-check if the below, for Biohacker, is accurate?
I could work on more if it's helpful.

Thanks Evolivolution!
I wasn't sure on SKILL assuming all since some lines above specifically called out all. Updated.
Changed reductions to informational.

IMMUNE | (-) | [damage type], all | (T), Immune to damage type. Assumes all if no [damage type] descriptor.
vs.
SKILL | (D) | [bonus], [skill], [ability] | Skill checks

Hey the link you provided for finding information on importing these effects appears broken

If you are referring to Trenloe's posting on page 1, there's been some modifications made to the wiki since he posted that link. I could not find a corresponding page so the information may be have been moved to other pages or just deleted.

However, to import the files:

Save the XML files to a folder on your machine. Start FGU and create or load a Starfinder campaign. On the right side of the screen, expand the Player category and click on Characters. On the bottom right of the Characters GUI, you should see 3 little symbols. Click on the down arrow symbol to Import Character. This will change the Characters GUI to the Import Character GUI. In the Import Character GUI, you should see two symbols at the bottom right. Click the down arrow symbol to Import Character File. Then select the XML file you saved earlier to your local folder and click Open.
