Anyone have any thoughts on how to apply direct damage from an NPC? I can't see to get the combat tracker to recognize a damage dealing action without a roll to hit (in this case, I'm creating an Illrigger, but this would apply to any NPC that has the option to deal X damage without any rolls or saves involved). I could accomplish it pretty easily on a PC, but not an NPC for some reason.

You can just drag a number onto the wounds field in the combat tracker from anywhere else to apply damage. Try typing /die # into the chat entry; and dragging that number to the wounds field.

You still target your enemy and roll damage, just skip the rolling to hit...

Sorted. The text in illlrigger says that it deals an extra 3d6 damage, but extra turns it into a self damage bonus, but just saying "deals 3d6 necrotic damage" turns it into a targeted direct damage as expected.
