Maybe even try to add commas or something. May just be a bug in FGU dropping it when you have modifiers also - you never know.

You can't have ranged on this modifier. There is no "heal for ranged attack only"

This effect is a manual effect you have to apply after you've been hit by a ranged attack, there is no ranged trigger needed, it should be removed and there is no checking to see if the damage it is healing is a ranged/spell/melee attack as FGU doesn't store this information.

but this didn't work for me. I had to remove 'ranged' from it to get it to work.

$# Deflect Missiles; Reaction; DMG: -1d10 [-DEX] [-MONK]; 'Apply to target who hits with ranged attack

I tried combat with shortbows and longbows but it never worked. When I removed 'ranged' it worked fine. Not sure why.

Hey, RedOrcMonk,

For me it does work with 'ranged.
See my screenshot:
- Archer and Monk (lvl 4 with dex 12 (mod 1))
- Put effect on archer when it does it's damage roll
- When archer damages with longbow: Effect kicks in
- When archer damages with shortsword, nothing happens.
And the effect is set to -1d10-5, which is right.

I cannot reproduce your issue.
Do you follow the same steps as I do?

Thanks for the info, I understand now my statement is correct however, I was misunderstanding this a heal effect and not a damage reduction (applied to the attacker).

Yeah that's a good way to do it.

I also didn't realise it was an effect applied to the attacker.

Ok, great it works for you too.
One note: I ment damage rolls (and not attack rolls), will edit

Ok I see what the issue is. For some reason the Orc's ShortBow didn't have the kind of attack it was doing. Meaning it didn't have the '[R]' ranged modifier. Don't know why that is the case but as soon as I typed that in it worked. Thanks. I'll have to check the encounter data to see what is happening.

UPDATE: In the Orc's actions for the encounter the Shortbow action started with Ranged Attack. I changed it to Ranged Weapon Attack and the encounter is working properly and the deflect missiles effect is working too.

Still have this issue though.
Now for one other issue with deflect missiles. If the attack role is a 20 then it rolls the double dice for the damage but it also rolls 2d10 for the damage reduction. Shouldn't it only roll 1d10 for damage reduction? Or am I wrong about this.

Ok, that last double dice issue is a problem. Will look into it tonight

Do not use it on a crit for now. FG effects code has it's limits.

No worries. BTW, I love all the 5e automatic effects. Overall they are great. Sure there are a few quirks but it's nothing you can't live with.
