5e - Toll the Dead

[hrscarvalho]

Hello guys! Need some help here!

The cantrip "toll the dead" deals 1d8 if the target is not wounded and 1d12 if it is.

How can I automate this? Any one know?

tks!

Not sure you can. Maybe something along the lines of

IFT(bloodied) DMG...

I would have to check the wiki to figure it out better and even then only think you can add additiona damage, not change damage dice completely

It would be IFT:(Wounded);DMG: 1d12.

However it would be a lot easier just to add an extra line into the actions for the cantrip to deal with the additional damage.

[LordEntrails]

Wouldn't that add an additional 1d12 to the existing 1d8 damage?

I would just add a second damage line to the action and ask the DM, but...

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, as noted it would add an additional 1d12. I was just using that as an example. There isn’t an elegant way to change the dice rolled using effects as you say. It is easier to just add the second damage line to the cantrip and use whatever line is appropriate.
