Hey guys,

Can't figure this out.
I'm trying to make a character effect that does the following:


add 2 fire damage to any fire damage the character generates.


Simple question: Is this possible?

Well we would need more information to answer. First what ruleset? Some can add it as an effect.

Hey!

Thanks for the reply: It's in 5E D&D.

What I'm trying to replicate is this:

Psychic Focus. While focused on this
discipline, you gain resistance to fire damage,
and you gain a +2 bonus to rolls for fire damage.

Trying to shoehorn Dark Sun into FG. The resistance to fire damage I have figured out. It's the second part.

I helped move the post to the 5E forum as you will get more responses if the effect is currently there. I would also check this link for our wiki on 5E effects to help as well

The resist bit is easy enough with just an effect of RESIST: fire - see the wiki that superteddy linked.

The next bit isn't so easy since it can't be automated. An effect of DMG: 2, fire can be applied with an expiry of on next action. The character would apply the effect just before doing any kind of fire damage.

Some videos on effects for you as well, https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?41478-Effects-Videos-for-5E
