Automatic Die Roll for an Effect

[njhiker]

Hi all-

My players are going to battle during a lightning storm. Ideally, I’d like to set up an auto roll on each person’s (and each NPC’s) turn. Just something simple like a d6 roll. If the roll is a 6, then 3d6 lightning damage applies to that person or NPC.

I could do it manually but automation is always fun. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks!

You could set up an NPC in the combat tracker with an Action that does the electrical damage. (similar to a trap)
The d6 will always be a manual roll.

Or you could just use ongoing damage, ie 1/6 of 3d6 averages to about 1 and 2/3rds damage per round. Just give everyone ongoing lighting damage of a d2 or a d3.

Good Day NJHiker :)
I wonder if you can set up an NPC and use the Aura's extension? Just put the NPC on the map somewhere and make the Aura big enough to cover the entire map? Instead of a 1d6 just make it a saving throw of some sort that is set at the start of the characters turn. :)
