Custom IFT check

[jkeller]

I'm trying to do a custom IFT check (5E, 2024 rules). Here's the syntax that I think should work:

[Rune] IFT: CUSTOM(Something); ATK: 1

My character has that effect on him. He's on the Combat Tracker. He's targeting a basic Orc (with no conditions).

But, when he attacks, I see the [EFFECTS +1] in the chat window, and 1 is added to the roll. I only want that to happen when I target an NPC with the "Something" condition.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

Edit: If I take that effect off, then it doesn't happen, so it's not caused by some other effect.

Remove the [Rune] portion. IFT has to be within a unique section of the effects - FG is looking at [Rune] IFT, ignoring it as it's not a valid effect name, and applying the ATK: 1 effect as normal, because it's ignored the first effect as it's invalid.

If you want to put a description in the effects line, end it with a semi-colon. For example: [Rune]; IFT: CUSTOM(Something); ATK: 1

That worked, thanks Trenloe!
