I am brand new to coding Aura's but I must confess i had the same problem when I tried to just make it and effect. I am trying set up AURA of Courage for a 1E Pathfinder Paladin
AURA:10 friend;SAVE:4 fear
AURA:10 friend;SAVE:4 will fear
neither of these are working. Any advice? Thanks in advance
I cant get the color coding to work with the friend term either.
Not at my FGU computer atm
From bmos's forge description
Try this:Quote:
AURA: 10 friend; Aura of Protection; SAVE: 5
AURA: 10 friend;aura of courage; IFTAG: fear;SAVE: 4
I think that applies the IFTAG that will check for the fear tag and then apply the Save if it sees the fear tag
Finally got a chance to test it. Unlike most effects where they work with or without a space after the colon (AC:5 or AC: 5) AURA: 10 MUST have a space between the : and the number.
so this works for me:
Quote:
AURA: 10 friend;aura of courage; IFTAG: fear;SAVE: 4
Thanks a ton! I will be posting a few more spells and aura effects and share some of my sucesses. I really appreciate this kind of thread
Update: tried it and it worked on the fear spell but it failed on the cause fear spell. Dont know how it would work against dragon fear or lich fear.
RE EDIT:
Changed the coding to the following and it worked
AURA: 20 friend,color[yellow]; aura of courage; IFTAG: fear; SAVE: 4;IFTAG:cause fear;SAVE:4
EDIT:2 Added Aura of fear as well by adding
AURA: 20 friend,color[yellow]; aura of courage; IFTAG: fear; SAVE: 4;IFTAG:cause fear;SAVE:4;IFTAG:aura of fear;SAVE:4
Arcane Condordance:
A shimmering, blue and gold radiance surrounds you, enhancing arcane spells cast by your allies within its area. Any arcane spell cast by a creature within the area gains a +1 enhancement bonus to the DC of any saving throws against the spell, and can be cast as if one of the following metamagic feats was applied to it (without increasing the spell level or casting time): Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Silent Spell, or Still Spell (you choose the metamagic feat when you cast arcane concordance).
THis is how I coded it but it failed
AURA:10 ally;CL:1
Try DC:1 not CL. CL = Caster Level not at computer atm
AURA:10 ally;DC:1; silent,still,enlarged, or extended
add a label for the metamagic type, make it 4 different spell effects to choose from.
Entropic Shield
A magical field appears around you, glowing with a chaotic blast of multicolored hues. This field deflects incoming arrows, rays, and other ranged attacks. Each ranged attack directed at you for which the attacker must make an attack roll has a 20% miss chance (similar to the effects of concealment). Other attacks that simply work at a distance are not affected.
my code:
Entropic Shield;IFTAG:ranged;CONC:20
That one worked perfectly tested and added the aura effect with cololr. Works like a dream! ThanksQuote:

Make sure you have the space AURA: 30 or it won't work (I believe)
LOL, I keep responding when not at my PC or I would test them myself, but If I remember correctly, try these to shorten them up a bit:
Quote:
AURA: 30,color[pink];Inspire Courage;ATK:1;DMG:1;IFTAG:fear, cause fear, charm person;SAVE:1
Quote:
AURA: 20 friend,color[yellow]; aura of courage; IFTAG: fear, cause fear, aura of fear;SAVE:4
I tested it and it does work. Thanks!Quote:

At 8th level, enemies within 10 feet of an antipaladin take a –2 penalty on all saving throws. This penalty does not stack with the penalty from aura of cowardice.
This ability functions only while the antipaladin is conscious, not if he is unconscious or dead.
AURA:20;foe;SAVE:-2
Been thinking about how to code Pathfinder Pally Smite Evil. Frankly I have no idea how to do it. Was thinking you could make the damge type force because that overcomes all Damage Reduction and miss chance. But how on earth do you set it up so it scales with level and changes to your charisma ability score? Anyone attempted it yet?
Already in my mod under special abilitiesQuote:
Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.
In addition, while smite evil is in effect, the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma modifier (if any) to her AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. If the paladin targets a creature that is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect.
The smite evil effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the paladin rests and regains her uses of this ability. At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per day, as indicated on Table: Paladin, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.

The only issue is if it is a multi class Paladin. I do not think there is a way to do something like [LVL paladin]. I typically make a spell section for each class so Paladin abilities and I set the CL to equal the paladin level and then use CL instead of LVL
I didnt know about this! Oh man this will save so much time I am currently coding a bunch of stuff not realizing this was available!!!Quote:

It is a Mod, so once you "own" it, you turn it on in your library. Read the Mod list though, for everything to work, you need all 18 or so extensions.
If you have things coded I havent done, feel free to post them in one of my 2 forum chats
I am happy to do so. The more we can help the community the better.
I tried to code giving advantage to rolls other than attack. No success so far. Tried the following for the Spell Borrow Fortune
Borrow Fortune;ADVSKILL
Borrow Fortune;ADVSAVE
those dont work.
Kelrugem is looking into adding ADV/DIS to Skill and other rolls but not up yet
I am working on the PF1e Coding effects spreadsheet to update it
I got the the save one to work with Borrow Fortune;ADVSAV and that did itQuote:

Sorry but I think you misunderstood. The ADVSAV is for saving throws not skills just wanted to clarify.Quote:

You summon a wasp swarm, which fills your space (up to 5 feet by 5 feet) but does not attack you. The dense cloud of vermin gives you partial concealment against ranged attacks. Any creature that makes a successful melee attack against you takes 2d6 points of swarm damage and poison from the wasp swarm, but is not affected by the swarm’s distraction ability. As a free action on your turn, you may have the swarm cling to you tightly, giving you a fly speed of 20 feet (poor maneuverability); when using the swarm to fly, it does not provide concealment or harm creatures that strike you. You can return the swarm to its protective shape as a free action on your turn.
Cape of Wasps;CONC:20;TDMG:2d6
Nice! You do know about the spellbook extended mod i hope. Most spells have effects done. (No idea if that is in it)
But that feeling of using the provided effect programming to accomplish the automation is awesome. Its why i am enjoying doing the feat+ mod.
Trying to get Vicious to work:
Viciousness;DMG:2d6 negative, melee; SDMGADDS: 1d6 negativeQuote:
Vicious
This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. When a vicious weapon strikes an opponent, it creates a flash of disruptive energy that resonates between the opponent and the wielder. This energy deals an extra 2d6 points of damage to the opponent and 1d6 points of damage to the wielder.
tried several different things, no luck to get the 1d6 damage to the attacker. I can do it as a second click and by adding labels but I feel like there is a way to make it all 1 automation..
The "easiest" way could be to add a 5-ft aura and a tag "viciousweapon" on self, so you get "AURA: 5 !self; IFT: CUSTOM (viciousweapon); TDMG: 1d6 melee" but this will always trigger even if you're not using that specific weapon (so, gotta remember to turn it off). Auras can be pretty heavy to process for FG though.Quote:

on my version of barkskin spell i have effect
Barkskin;AC:1 [d3CL4], naturalenhancement
this works.....exactly as the spell specifies....The effect grants a +2 enhancement bonus to the creature's existing natural armor bonus. This enhancement bonus increases by 1 for every three caster levels above 3rd, to a maximum of +5 at 12th level.
i have run tests and the d3 on the front is divide by 3.... but then im lost.....
where can i find the math rules please.
i know this effect works but i am missing some important rules and want to look them up myself.
great question that I do not have an answer to, I have been trying to piece it together but rarely succeed
You should check the effects' wiki for the standard rules :) But besides that, these particular rules come from this extension: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/1/view
Its description defines that type of stuff, especially under the header (N)PC Specific Note :)
so many thanks to krugulem
the answer is
This is what i wanted... its not everything i would have liked in terms of maths functions but i can now work thru it.Quote:
(N)PC Specific Note
Tag
Notes
STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA
Ability bonus, now respects changes through effects, too
NdM + K
M positive or ”F”, N non-zero, K arbitrary number; die evaluated as random table when applied from actions tab
d X {other tag}
X = 1, . . . , 9 (if none, it will assume X = 1). The other tag will get divided by X.
For example ATK: [d4STR]; additional attack mod given by the strength mod divided by 4
{other tag} X
X any non-negative total number (also more than one digit possible). The other tag cannot be bigger than X then; this operation is after all multiplications but before a sign change
^ {other tags}
Put at the very beginning (or before or directly after the minus sign, if at all); will force a rounding up instead of down. This happens before a sign change is applies, that is, the absolute value will be rounded up. E.g. [^-HCL] halves the CL, rounded up, then makes it negative.
One can also combine numbers with the letter tags like in [H3STR]; first the letter, then the number, as for the new d tag from above.
Hey folks,
Going with the old intro, 1st time poster, long time reader.
Thank all the TTRPG & Fantasy Grounds Gods for this Forum otherwise FG would be very cumbersome and you might as well stick with the old paper method running TTRPGs, at least in my opinion.
Anyway, I have two coding questions:
1. How does one code for doing half damage? I am trying to set up some coding for underwater combat and the tools I'm using right now don't allow a multiplication of .5.
2. How does one code for doing 1.5 damage? This is pretty straight forward in the standard character sheet but I can't get it to work in the NPC character sheet under the attacks.
Apologies if this has already been covered in another post. I still can't get the hang of the search function in these forum settings. If there is already a thread with this info, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone would post the link.
Thank You!
I have the spell book and its great! Thank you.
The enlarge person spell is not working quite the way I want. It doesnt change the weapon damage dice. I've tried to recode it a couple times without sucess. Here is what I am writing....
Enlarge person;ESIZE:1, 2d8
So I am wanting one size increment change and the weapon they use changes from 1d8 to 2d8 I believe.

This is what I use for Enlarge Person:But you'll need the Size Changes extension to make it work.Code:Enlarge Person; SIZE: 1 size, melee; STR: 2 size; DEX: -2 size
Question on how to code Black Tentacles - https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=23
it is a Spell Attack roll vs. targets Fortitude DC.
In my install, it is coded as a Fortitude Saving throw vs. Spell Attack DC, which is close but the opposite of what we want. (want attacker to roll D20 + Spell Attack and compare to Targets Fortitude + 10, not have target roll D20 + Fortitude and compare to Spell Attack + 10)
Any way to code Spell Attack vs. Target Fortitude DC ?
Thanks in advance
As far as I am aware, I don't know if that is possible in 1e. Then again, why are you using the PF2 version of the spell? The PF1 version of the spell would be a modified CMB attack.Quote:

Hey all, sorry for the disappearing act, Life kinda blew up as it does. all is good and I am around. I will keep adding to this once things settle down
I hope everything is okay :)Quote:
