Hello, my friends!

I would like to make an effect for the spell Synaptic Static so that affected creatures reroll their Int Save at the end of each of their following turns and remove the effect if they are successful.

Is that possible? If yes, how do I write this effect?

Thanks in advance

Not without an extension. I believe the better combat effects extension would allow you do do this. You'll find it on the forge.

Good Day Ghandi39 :)
As Zacchaeus says using Better Combat Effects Gold works: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/155/view (I think it works with the free version as well: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/76/view).
We set it up as an effect:

Synaptic Static; SAVEE: INT [SDC] (R); ATK: -1d6; CHECK: -1d6

Now I am not sure this is exactly the spell as written because it rolls the -1d6 each time an attack, ability, or concentration check is made. The spell is not clear to me if it is just a single roll at the beginning of the spell that lasts until it ends or if it is rolled each time as we have it.
If you decide to play it as a one time roll, I guess you could adjust the effect prior to placing it on the target with just the number instead of the -1d6.

Thank you both. I’ll try out the extension
