Your coding should work if you change CHR to CHA and you need Better Combat Effect Gold ext.

3) This is how I think you want it to work.

Use from the Caster's Action Tab to an OBJECT NPC to denote an AREA effected.

Code:

---

Zone of Truth; AURA: 15 all, once; AoE Zone of Truth; IF: !CUSTOM(Object); IF: !CUSTOM(Truth); SAVEA: [SDC] CHA (M); SAVEADD: Truth; SAVES: [SDC] CHA (M)

---

Custom Effect List Item

Code:

---

Truth

FFS, I was looking at all the ; : , [ I didn't even catch my CHR...
I also forgot about the Object thing, I had made specific tokens that worked, but I called them PC's to make it easier on my brain.

Thank you!

Does this extension still work?

Yes.

The Paladin in our group uses it every week. Indispensable, especially for a forgetful player. ;)

And it does so beautifully, I should say.

Sorry, need help.

I cannot figure out why my syntax will not force the saving throw. I am using the Dretch's Fetid Aura for 2024 D&D:

Quote:

Constitution Saving Throw: DC 12, any creature that starts its turn in a 10-foot Emanation originating from the swarm. Failure: The target has the Poisoned condition until the start of its next turn. While Poisoned, the target can take either an action or a Bonus Action on its turn, not both, and it can't take Reactions.

---

I am using the following aura: Fetid Aura; AURA: 10 all; SAVES: 12 CON; SAVEADD: Poisoned

It applies the poisoned effect, no worries, but, I cannot get it to force the saving throw. What am I doing wrong?

Just tested your coding and it works, it only makes the save when it starts its turn in the aura, not when it first enters. so cycle through the combat tracking after inside the aura and it does the save.

Weird, I tested it and it still won't force the saving throw. What extensions do I need for this? I've got the Aura one, obviously, but, is there another extension I should be running?

Yes, for SAVEADD you need Better Combat Effects or Better Combat Effects Gold
