spells cast (burning hands) but saving throw not working / rolling at all.

see image of extensions i have on... anyone have hint which ones might be the culprit?

i added top 2 most recently, but think this was a prob before too.

The best would be that you turn off all extensions to see whether you then still have the problem (in a test campaign for example) :) Then turn on the extensions slowly again first just singly ones to see whether there is the problem, I just tested some: Full OverlayPackage, Mirror Image Handler, PFRPG - Raccourcis Actions v3.3.3_A, Remove Effect Tag, Fantasy Language Fonts, Customised Item Generator. All of them didn't produce that error, also not when all were activated :) So, it might be one of the first four ones you have :)

Also make sure that you do not hit the small reticle at the small modifier box below the chat. When you turn that off then targeting will be turned off and thence no saves will be rolled :) (but a restart of the campaign will turn that on again, so you can't check now whether this was the problem)

I now even tested with the character inventory manager (because I can't imagine that the other three ones will interfere here but maybe still test them, especially the creature gen), and also with that additionally I can't replicate your issue :)

I have the feeling that you accidentally hit sometimes that small reticle at the small modifier box :D in 3.3.11 this will be red when turned off then it is more obvious when that happens (or at least it is red in FGU, therefore I expect that in 3.3.11 for FGC, too :) ). In my experience 99% of issues about wrong targeting were due to this small reticle there :) (Well, except the ones in FGU, but that's another subject :D)

EDIT: So, maybe just start your campaign with all these extensions and test again, probably it works now again :)

thx @kelrugem for the insights.

i am not clear what "that small reticle at the small modifier box" is -- would you isolate-screengrab and post?

i was also trying to guess what you were referring and saw the target graphic at top-left of modifier box (see attached)... realized don't know what that does! lol and not sure if that's what you're talking about.

anyway... the issue is fixed after clearing my head from sleep (late game and my mind was groggy; feeling irritated is not a good state of mind for troubleshooting :-P):

i swear i thought i had checked, and saw that save was set up, but apparently it was not, so no roll was made. deleted and populate spell again (from my fav spells mod: farnaby's), double-checked effects setup with save, then tested: worked.

so not extensions conflicting.

Ah, I see :D

Yes this small target button is a switch for turning targeting on/off :) When it is grayed out then you won't use your targets even when you have one :)
