What was the issue Celestian causing that?
Looks like you found out the issue I had from the thread ;)Quote:

Never mind... I understand everything I was reading now about it not actually applying to the dice visually... I thought it was still reflected in the + whatever after the die roll... Sorry.
Maestro: a word of advice please. can i use this extension to create the following conditions: if the player attacks with this weapon, they get an AC debuf, until their next attack.
so an effect tied to one weapon, that triggers on attack and lasts til the next time the attack action is used?
Unfortunately no. Advanced Effects manages the effects on items/pc/npcs. It doesn't create them "on use".Quote:

does that mean i can set up that debuf now sir?
No, this bugfix was fallout from moving to the global script method that made permission management no longer required on the database nodes. I didn't include the ct node, just the charactersheet nodes.Quote:

Hi Celestian, thank you very much for the extension is awesome. (got an issue but its now resolved ;))
Is this compatible (or portable) to 3.5 or Pathfinder rulesets? Or is there a version already in place for those rulesets that I haven't found?
This extension is rooted deeply into 5e's effects management/style. Someone could certainly do something similar for 3e.Quote:

I don't believe there is a way to automate that. It would be something to do with a using a power for melee and then having a save but there is no way there to make that save be against self.Quote:

Now although this ought to be MIN in the inventory that this is attached against, IT DOES WORK as exepected in the CT. Showing the 80 rounds that i was expecting it to. So for all intents and purposes, just letting you know there is a unit discrepancy. Cheers!
HAH! That's some bleed through from the AD&D Core ruleset where I did most of the work on Advanced Effects.Quote:

I'll see about cleaning that up ;)
Hi Celestian, cant managed to get the "Rakish Audacity" feature to work when placing the effect on the Abilities tab of a PC.
I tried with "INIT: [CHA]", "INIT_AE:CHA", and even using the inbuild Description choice that result in "INIT_AE:4;" when forcing to "Initiative 4" (see pic) Attachment 23425
I am doing something wrong?
Thank you
You'll have to forgive me, 5E is not my game. What is the result you are expecting it to have?Quote:

This needs to be done from the character sheet. Adding in modifiers related directly to a character needs to be done by the character from their own actions tab; otherwise FG has no way of knowing what modifier to use. The way that this extension works does not relate the effects to the character in such a way that such a thing as you want can be successfully achieved.Quote:

I've played one or two games but my main game is AD&D ;) A lot of my extensions come from the building of AD&D Core. Since they are both quite similar it's not that hard for me to create an extension of the same features for those that want them in the 5e ruleset.Quote:

Ok got it thank you very much.Quote:

If i do it manually it does work.
Thanks
The video is a little fuzzy but it seems that there's some extra letters being added which is why it doesn't work. Looks like the effect being created is INIT_AE: 4 The _AE bit is what's causing your issue.
Yeah sorry, i have corrected it already. I mean the quality of the video.Quote:

Any ideas?
Has anyone else got this extension working with the current 5e rukeset?
in What way does it not work with the current ruleset?
Generally its more fun if you dont actually say what you are having trouble with and you let everyone try and guess.Quote:

Howdy Celestian,
Just noticed that adding something like "ADVSKILL: Thieves' Tools" or "SKILL: 1 Thieves' Tools" isn't working as an added effect to a Thieves' Tools. So ultimately I created a "Thieves' Tools" or "Thieves Tools" skill on the SKILL TAB, and then added those 2 effects. Rolling the Thieves Tool skill results in:
[SKILL] Thieves' Tools [PROF]
The ADV or the extra +1 doesn't show on the rolled results. So I'm wondering if the ext doesn't work on SKILLS that are added to the SKILLS TAB (e.g. Thieves' Tools, Herbalism Kit, Forgery Kit, etc.)
Does that make sense?
Otherwise ... FYI ... damn good ext! Love being able to put a curse on the item and make it hidden, so player doesn't know what's happened. It's a bump when they realise that something is off on their rolls. Then eventually they start cluing in that something is off, and have a royal time figuring out what's happening :) Then the discussion comes as they learn of the curse. It's a nice touch for RP. Just saying.
apologies ... ignore above post ... apparently i had a brain fart. works just fine!
Good to know. There is one issue that can't be corrected and thats the one where the effect requires the source to be the PC/NPC. Such as something like "INIT: [CHA]" wont work.Quote:

Also, the effects are not removed from the player if the player gives the item to another player (via dragging the shield icon to other player's inventory).
So, the first part I found and fixed (2.10 update) for the shown effect...but the last part im a bit confused about and will do more digging. When dragging an item from a player to another I would expect the node to trigger "onChildDeleted" but it's not. There might be a reason for this so going to poke around and figure out. If it's intended behavior I'll have to figure out a kludge.Quote:

What was the issue celestian?
