I am trying to create an ability for a creature to have an ability to apply the effect Immobilize to a character and automate the characters Save DC roll after it has been applied so they have a chance to get un-Immobilized. I have created the automation on the creature as follows:

"immobilized"|Effect: Immobilized; Frozen in Place, SAVE:Will DC 24 [DC:24]

It gets properly applied to the character when they are targeted and I double click on the effect. Once it is on the character I see the four little buttons as expected and they say ON, ALL, VSBL, START, the text reads, "Immobilized; Frozen in Place, SAVE:Will DC 24, the Duration is set to 0, it shows the DC as 24, and the Init to Adjust On shows 18.
48564

When it gets to that characters turn I had hoped it would automatically roll the Will Save against DC 24 for the player.

Hopefully I just created the effect improperly on the creature.

The DC in an effect is for information only and provides a reference for any manual checks. The exception to this is the flat check for persistent damage (PERS effect).

Immobilized, for example, has this note in the Effects Wiki page: "Handle DC checks for external force moving immobile creature manually."
