With the latest patch for the 5e ruleset comes a completely re-written effects system with many new features and effects (It's worth noting that many of these effects are in CoreRPG so any ruleset based on that will have these effects as well). To help get you caught up with all of the new stuff I'm recording a series of videos on what's new, how the new system and all of the effects work. Videos will be added as they become available. You can see the complete playlist here. (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvtWYj3HpGj4TBWtfnxiWEbX_ua7T7t1Q)

The wiki has also been extensively re-written and updated so if you want to read about the new effects and bookmark for reference, or instead of watching videos you can see that here. (https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996642031/5E+Effects+for+Advanced+Automation)

As always, great work from Zaccaeus.
I updated FG just before a game, and all Target effects from paladin stopped working. lol.

I'll have to restudy FGU from zero and try to understand it all.

But i think it's a long term improvement.

I could never actuallly learn all those FG effects coding.

Three more videos added including our first look at @tags.

Note that some changes have been made to healing tags so I will re-record that video in due course. Note also that EXHAUSTION is now available in the effects dialog and that there is a new effect STAYEXHAUSTED which will prevent exhaustion from being 'cured' following a long rest.
