Figured out how to code the Penache effect in Actions. I couldn't find this posted anywhere, so if its out there already, I apologize. (see attached for working example)

58552

1. Apply the Penache tag to the Swashbuckler.
Penache; [SELF]

2. Apply the effect to the hostile creature.
DISATK; IFT: CUSTOM(Penache); ADVATK

In effect, you are giving the hostile creature disadvantage on all its attacks by default, but adding the IFT to look for the Penache tag. If present, you are giving the hostile creature advantage, which effectively cancels the disadvantage and makes the attack a straight roll.

Hope this helps others!

Good Day ShadowedHand :)
Looks like this could be used for a Battlemasters "Goading" attack too. Well Done. :)

Hey, yeah! Good catch!

Probably several variations of abilities that this (or a variant) will work for but I am just not thinking about.

I have been learning to use the IFT: CUSTOM() for a lot of cool stuff.

I try to automate as much as possible, especially useful for high level campaigns.
