Creating a custom effect

[lesliev]

Hi all!

I'm trying to create an "on fire" effect that I can apply to a party member, that damages them each round for 10 rounds, if they fail a dex save:

65796

This seems to work to a degree - I can drag it onto the victim and then drag the little target icon on the right onto them, so they are the target:

65797

Now the 10 turns count down as expected but the damage rolls never roll and they never get damaged. What am I doing wrong?

The effect for ongoing damage is "DMGO".

The "DMG" effect is for adding damage modifiers to damage rolls made by that creature.

Ah, that works. So I don't have to set the target either then I guess. Thanks!
