So, I've searched all around the place but was unable to find it.
In our 5e game, I am using dice tower and 'Show GM rolls' is set to off. This effectively hides all the rolls and their results from players in chat window.
But this is not exactly what I need, as it slows the game and also I'd like for players to be able to see what is the outcome of their and also NPC actions. For example, when attack roll is made, the system shows whether it is attack or cast, it shows the type of the roll, the resulting d20, all bonuses and the final result. Then, the system compares it to target defense (such as AC or Save) and calculates the result, displaying the message that looks like below:
NPC
[ATTACK (M)] Attack 19+2=21
Attack [21] -> [at Player] [HIT]
or, for casting
Player: [SAVE] Dexterity 15+5=20
Save [20][vs. DC 12] -> [for Player] [vs NPC] [FAILURE]
[DAMAGE] Sacred Flame - Cantrip [TYPE: radiant (1d8=1)]
Damage [1] -> [to Player] [ABSORBED]
From what I understand, Fantasy Grounds options allow me to eithers set my players to see all this, or see none at all (just some dice rolling).
What I would like instead is for them to see only the outcome and not rolls/numbers themselves. For example, they would be able to see something like:
NPC
Attack [21] -> [at Player] [HIT]
Damage -> [to Player]
or
Player: [SAVE] Dexterity
Save -> [for Player] [vs NPC] [FAILURE]
and display the resulting effect, as needed (like 'grappled' or 'unconscious')
I know this may sound a bit awkwardly explains, so I'll put a screenshot for reference>
26853
To sum it all up: is there a way for players to only see the resulting outcomes like [MISS], [HIT], [FAILURE], [SUCCESS] etc but not the numbers rolled?
If not yet possible, I guess an extension that does that would not be to complicated to make?
