[NEWB] Character Sheet - AC not computing

[StarDebut]

I am creating a 12th level character with magic items for D&D 5e.

I've added the effects to all magical weapons. Included Cloak of Displacement, Staff of Power, Headband of Intellect, Dual Wielder Feat, Bladesong and Mage Armour (we'll leave Shield out for the moment)

Now I do want these as effects. Because there are triggers in all the effects which Fantasy Grounds probably won't pick up on, so I don't want to add manual entries to the AC as there is a lot going on here and its easier to track as effects in the combat order.

Unfortunately, although I thought I set it up all correctly (and I understand the AC on the character sheet won't change) the NPC attacks are still hitting a debuffed AC.

Effects need to be separated from descriptive text and other effects with a semicolon. More info, with examples at the bottom of the page, here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Effects

For example: Staff of Power; AC: 3

And the AC: [INT] effect needs to be applied to the combat tracker from the powers section of the character sheet, the INT bonus will be inserted as the effect is applied to the CT.

Have a look at some of the videos linked in this post (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?41478-Effects-Videos-for-5E). Especially video eight.

Hi Trenloe,

Thanks. Unfortunately I had to go to work, and had just stepped out the door in my van to see your reply on my phone. I thought that was really fast. I've just got home and going to try what you said. I don't think you're wrong, little things like semi-colons. Who would have guessed ! Thank you !
