Ranged Spell Attack damage no longer being calculated as Ranged Damage (Hex use case)

[NickGaidin]

I was doing some testing and found that ranged spell attacks (Eldritch Blast, Guiding Bolt, etc) are no longer being counted as Ranged damage by Fantasy Grounds. This shows up when adding damage only for certain types of attacks, specifically the Hex spell.

The Hex spell is coded to add 1d6 nerotic damage, but only for attacks (melee and ranged):
57859

It works for ranged bow attacks and melee weapon attacks, but not for ranged spells:
57860

The only difference I can see is that for the bow and weapon, the damage type shows up in chat as either "DAMAGE (M)" or "DAMAGE (R)" but the ranged spell attacks show only "Damage":
57861

*Edit: I should add that I tested this with all extensions turned off and this is for D&D 5E ruleset.


Thanks,
Nick

Spells have never been counted as ranged damage.

Ok thank you for the quick reply - I was sure I've been using it this way without issues but I guess I'm mis-remembering.

Thanks.
