Hi there.

I am just building in the Dwarven poison resilience - so far so good on the resist, not a problem (RESIST : poison; [SELF]). (NB:- no spaces when I put it into the effect - when posted here, I get emojis :-) )

However, when I try to put in a power effect that grants ADV on saves just for poison, it does not seem to work. I am using:- ADVSAV : poison (as above, no spaces when I use the effect - spaces here just to prevent it changing to an emoji). When I do this, it grants advantage on saves, but it seems to be ALL saves, as if it is not reading the : poison modifier, and applying advantage to everything...

Is this because the ADVSAV only works on type of saving throws (i.e. STR, DEX etc), and not damage types? If yes, any suggestions on how to build this effect?

Cheers

Paul

As mentioned in the Effect Wiki page, ADVSAV only accepts the ability name or concentration: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/884913/5E+Effects+for+Advanced+Automation#Modifiers

Basically, in standard FG, you can't automate advantage for a save against a specific keyword or damage type. There may be an extension that allows you to do something like this.

I think this is the extension you're looking for:
