Can't get custom effects to work

[Aphasial]

Hi all

I am trying to create a custom weapon but I am having trouble getting it to work. I heave entered the following code into the weapon's damage section:

IFT: TYPE (undead); DMG: 1d6

However when I tested it, the result came back as "TYPE: untyped" in the chat box. I'm using the 5e monster manual for my monsters. I've tested the code against undead and non-undead with the same result. I have also tried target a creature and clicking the "damage" butto in the PC character sheet and dropping the damage onto the target token

Does anyone know what I have done wrong?

Hi Aphasial, welcome to FG.

You cannot (normally) attach effects to a weapon; the effect would have to sit in the character's action tab and be applied from there. You can however use this extension to do what you want https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40833-5E-Advanced-Effects-(items-npcs-characters)

What you can do though(if you don't want to download another extension), is code the weapon like you would a spell.

Yeah, a missed opportunity by the 5e ruleset...

Thanks very much
