Exciting News for Fantasy Grounds Users: Introducing Better Combat Effects Gold (BCEG)!
We are thrilled to announce the availability of Better Combat Effects Gold (BCEG) for Fantasy Grounds, specifically designed to enhance Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (DnD5E) gameplay. This premium extension brings a revolutionary approach to using special tags in NPCs' effects, creating a more dynamic and automated gaming experience.

What Makes BCEG Stand Out?
Special Tags Adaptation: BCEG allows the use of parentheses (()) instead of the standard square brackets ([]) for special tags like [STR], [PRF], [LVL], and [CLERIC], making them functional for NPCs in the Combat Tracker.
Integration with 5e Automatic Effects: Unlike its counterpart BCE, BCEG correctly translates these tags in NPC power definitions used by 5e Automatic Effects, offering a crucial functionality upgrade.
Why You Should Consider BCEG:
BCEG not only simplifies the management of NPCs during gameplay but also enriches the overall game experience by ensuring effects that adjust based on NPCs' stats and conditions. It's an indispensable tool for Game Masters aiming for efficiency and depth in their campaigns.
