Actually, No... I got the content updates confused with the core release.Quote:

That's what I get for reading stuff late at night after a long work day!
Thanks for answering, Kel!
Hehe, no worries :D Indeed, the test server stuff is a bit delayed, so right now no worries :)Quote:

Not really, if someone is immune to a condition like paralyzed etc., then you just should not apply the effect :)Quote:

Curiosity question. My DM likes to randomize certain things and he was disappointed with the following limitation. Is there a reason that some things like ATK: 1d6 (so it can do dice and designates with a (D) ) and some things like AC: 3 (designated with an (N) ) are limited to single numbers? IOW to me its a limit that seems unnecessary and is obviously already coded for some effects. why limit it?
and I realize Kel, that you are not the cause of this LOL just thought you might know
hehe no worries :DQuote:

Using AC as the example; it's because that is a defensive effect against a fixed number; so there is no way to "roll" those dice as part of the standard rolls.
To implement, you would either need to pick a random number for those (i.e. completely automated/hidden in the effect string); or make some sort of chain rolling logic to break up the attack roll from a possible "AC roll" that would have to be linked to the original data. It creates a lot of complexity for little gain.

Hmm makes sense.Quote:

So randomize it once and the effect stays on, not randomize each round or attack.
So I suggested making "spells" at various buff levels and for various of the above stats and then casting them at the NPCs on the CT 1 time. I was wanting to randomize the effect buff as its cast (so say AC: 1d4 -1 would assign a 0,1,2,or 3 buff to each targeted NPC and that the result would be randomized separately for each target). is there a way to do that across the board?
sort of like a mass random effect that rolls separately for each target. I am guessing if its possible, he would have to singularly target each NPC if he wants the buffs rolled for each NPC. If he targets all NPCs, I would think they would all get the same result from the randomized rolls.
I think what you're describing Morenu would be a tag that is a die roll. That way when the effect is applied it will roll a die to get a random value. I believe Kel's extension has support for that, but it may only roll once per buff application.
Check under `(N)PC Specific Note` the `NdM + K` may be what you're looking for?

Quick example I think works: `AC: [1d4-1]`
Indeed, the extension provides a "random value on apply" :) And as Moon Wizard mentioned, it would be difficult to roll a die each time a combat roll happens for stuff like AC which are usually not rolledQuote:
