Hi Everyone,
I was running through the some of the optional features for the fighter class that came through with Tasha's Cauldron of Everything module, and preparing tutorials on how to setup some of the features within a characters actions tab and ran into an interesting problem:
I was attempting to create an effect for one of the new Fighting Styles called Interception, and my first reaction was to do something like this:
Fighting Style (Interception); DMG: -1d10-[PRF]
The intent was to apply the -1d10 die roll and mix in the value of the proficiency bonus to ensure it was also subtracted from the overall total.
However, when I did that, I got the following result when the effect was applied:
43199
I then modified the effect to do something like this:
Fighting Style (Interception); DMG: -1d10; DMG: -[PRF]
Which gave me this as the result:
43200
This had me confused, so I continued to play around with this.
Eventually, I ended up with this:
DMG: -[PRF]
43201
To help narrow down if it was simply a miss-parsing of the description, or something else, and that still failed to parse out the [PRF] value and apply a -6 result which is what I was expecting to see (Level 20 fighter was my example character for the tutorial).
To keep the tutorial moving, I simply replaced it with:
DMG: -6
And that seems to have solved my issue for now, but according to the effects guide I should be able to prefix any of the [xxxxxxx] tags with the - and have that parse out to get the results, if I remove the "-" character from the effect, the [PRF] tag properly functions and I get a +6 as the result value.
