5E - Requested Rolls

Have another question I'll try to test when I can. But, thought to put out into the ether.

Concentration is tested with a Constitution saving throw. But, if I send a request to a PC for a Constitution saving throw and they're Concentrating - a Cleric with Bless for example - the saving throw roll doesn't pay attention and affect Concentration. If I damage them, they are prompted to make a Constitution (Concentration) saving throw that can and will (on fail) remove the (C) effect from the concentrating characterand any other characters on whom they applied a (C) tagged effect.

But, unless I'm wrong that only happens from damage. Sending a non-damage triggered Con save is just another save.

But, in 5E, a DM can call for a Concentration save due to environmental reasons. How hard would it be to add Concentration as a save type to the "Request Save" type drop down? Where it *will* ask for a Con save, and *will* impact (C) effects on fail, and the DM can use the existing set DC box like any other save?

Or am I overthinking again and there's an easy existing solve (other than applying damage and then healing it after the (C) save has been adjudicated. :)

RR does not specifically support asking for rolls to remove concentration automatically.
You can't just add it to save drop down because the ruleset uses slightly different code for the concentration rolls.

No, I gathered that. I was more wondering if that muscle could be added under the hood, so it could be though.

It is possible. I don't think I'll have it in that drop down, but I can probably take a look at this sometime in the next 2 weeks to 6 months. I'm pretty busy at the moment.

Version 2.16
See the chat commands on the RR wiki for how to use the new commands.

• Add support for SFRPG2
• Add targetType parameter for /RRcmd
• Add stealth option for initiative in PFRPG2
• Add concentration roll for 5E

I finally found out what was going on in my game/system. For some reason, the "options" on the Players' side of FGU had the Option turned off for "PC: Prompt owner to roll saves." My GM side had that option turned on, but it wasn't causing that "option" to be on for the PCs. I didn't realize the Players could adjust that option. Now I know.

Easy fix. I just have my PCs turn that option on.

I am using the most updated version, updated today. (Sorry if this is old news. I just figured it out.) Thanks for the great Extension. It makes the whole game work better.

You can turn this on for your players with the chat command /RRclientsaves

Not sure if this has been reported elsewhere (or noticed) since last Tuesday's update (FGU 4.5.10).

If the new Core Theme - Dark is active, when the Staging Rolls window (not the prompt to roll, but the prompt to accept the result) opens the window is white and the text is also white - making it illegible. You can see the value rolled in the little box, but you can't see the modifiers or other text.

This is fixed in version 2.16.1

This might just be my version (I'm currently multitasking and haven't done any tests yet), but for a few weeks, the PC rolls being requested haven't factored in advantage/disadvantage or modifiers in the modifier window. Is anyone else getting this, or is it working as intended?
