5E - Better Combat Effects Gold

Would it be possible to add an operator that activates/removes/deactivates an effect when you lose all of your current temporary hit points? As an example, if a creature had a feature that was something like "Flymoth gains 50 temporary hit points, and until they lose them have advantage on all attack rolls they make", would an effect automatically remove the ADVATK when the temporary hit points are gone be possible? Something like TEMPLOSER/TEMPLOSEA/TEMPLOSED? This kind of thing is common in third-party and homebrew content, so it would be neat.

I second this. I've run into a need for this feature with a bard in my game who makes use of the motivational speech spell.

This should do it

Code:

---

IF: TEMPHP; ADVATK

---

I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong, but the [SDC] for my cleric doesn't seem to be applying correctly. I'm trying to set the effect for spirit guardians like so:

Code:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; SAVES: WIS [SDC] (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C) : Movement Halved; [SELF]

---

My cleric has a 20 in Wisdom, and is proficient, and is at level 9. So, the save should be 8+5+4 = 17, but when I apply the effect to the player in the CT, it doesn't add the ability modifier, so instead of 17, it's at 12.

When I try and use the breakdown replacement from the ReadMe file and replace [SDC] with the following:

Code:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; SAVES: WIS 8,[WIS],[PRF] (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C) : Movement Halved; [SELF]

---

, the effect in the CT is wrong, like it's not parsing correctly. It shows in the CT like

Code:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; SAVES: 5 WIS 8 [PRF] (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C) : Movement Halved; [SELF]

---

So that doesn't make any sense.

Also, I've tried this, and the value is correct, but the save type isn't listed.

Code:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; SAVES: 8,[WIS],[PRF] (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C) : Movement Halved; [SELF]

---

and in the CT it just shows "SAVES: 17 (M)(H)"

I can hard code it, and just put in "WIS 17 (M)(H)", but I figured use the tools I have available to automate it.


UPDATE: I just realized I didn't try to put "WIS" at the end, but before "(M)(H)", and doing so fixed my issue.

So, it looks like this:

Code:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; SAVES: 8,[WIS],[PRF] WIS (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C) : Movement Halved; [SELF]

---

Try this:

Code:

---

Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION(notself); SAVES: [SDC] WIS (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C) : Movement Halved

---

The DC number should be before the ability. It mostly works after the ability but that is legacy support for how things where done in the past and I changed it to go before for situations like this and it is also how FG expects things to work. Putting the DC after is considered deprecated and at some point in the future after enough time has passed will probably be removed.

Thanks! I'll test that out~

Version Update 3.34
Feature: Conditional operator SOURCE. True if the source of the attack, damage, save matches. Useful for defensive advantages against specific creatures
Fixed: DYING

For the purpose of save syntax such as SAVEA, SAVEE, etc ...

It would cool if the [ability] range that allows you to specify an ability score like STR, DEX, etc, also allowed you to specify concentration.
There are spells such as sleet storm in 5E that force targets to make spell concentration saves when they are in the spell's effect, and there are all kinds of features that add bonuses or penalties to concentration saves, but not general constitution saves, so being able to parse between the two would be handy.

For the record, I'm also having an issue where the [SDC] is not calculating correctly.

For example, I have a PC who is a warlock, has a proficiency bonus of +3, and a charisma modifier of +3.
They have the fey presence warlock feature, and I've coded it as follows:

Code:

---

Fey Presence; SAVEA: [SDC] WIS (M) (R); frightened; STURNRE

---

The duration is set to 2 rounds, targeting is set to targets, and expend is set to never.
The power group under which the effect is placed are set to group type abilities, ability set to charisma, and save DC set to 8+base+proficiency bonus.

When I drop this effect token onto a target, that target should be making a saving throw against a DC of 14, but instead, it's only a DC of 11.

I've deactivated every other module and repeated the error to confirm that it's localized to better combat effects gold, and I have the same issue occurring on all of the characters.

I changed it to what you posted, but the now the save DC is only 12. The [SDC] isn't taking the PC ability modifier into account. See attached image, which has the character sheet, and CT.

Attachment 55496

Replacing [SDC] with "8, [WIS], [PRF] WIS" in the string does the trick.

Please let me know, if there is something I'm missing.

And just so I'm not missing something else, here is the player's character sheet main tab.

Attachment 55497

ugh. I thought I had that fixed. I'll take a look at [SDC] again

Version Update: 3.35
Fixed: conditional operator filter [creature type] was never implemented

I should note that with BCEG the "IMMUNE: condition" check is case sensitive, unlike FGU raw version. Just FYI for users as author is already aware.

AURA: 10; test; Blinded
IMMUNE: Blinded (won't work)

AURA: 10; test; blinded
IMMUNE: blinded (will work)

I looked at this an it appears to be working as intended. It appears you just have the syntax wrong.

Code:

---

IMMUNE: CUSTOM(blinded)

I'd use another word to describe this "syntax" :)

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this, if it's not, I'll ask it there.

During my session last night, my warlock was attempting to cast Hex on a baddie, and I was getting an error popping up in my console/log window. There's a note for the automatic effects about the "Hex Damage" effect, but additional 1d6 necrotic damage on the hexed creature doesn't appear to be working.

I first apply the Hex Damage effect to the player:

Code:

---

$# Hex Damage; IFT: CUSTOM(Hex); DMG: 1d6 necrotic; (C); 'note';[SELF]

---

Then I drop:

Code:

---

#Hex; DISCHK: strength; (C)

---

onto a creature, I get the following popup in my console/log window.

Code:

---

[12/22/2022 9:30:21 AM][ERROR] Handler error: [string "CoreRPG:scripts/manager_effect.lua"]:649: setValue: Invalid parameter 1

---

I also tried to add the hex effect to the creature manually, but the 1d6 still didn't trigger.

For sure shouldn't have a script error. From the information it is hard to tell if this is BCEG related or not without a stack trace. I assume you are running other extensions? If not that points to BCEG so that is good info too. Can you reproduce the error and if so can you do so with /debug on and share the stack trace that is in the console when the error happens?

Here's the stacktrace:

If you hex code starts with at # then you'll also need that in the IFT: CUSTOM(#Hex)

I can't reproduce the error. Can you disable all other extensions and reproduce it with BCEG? What if you disable BCEG as well?

The "# Hex" has something to do with equipped effects, I believe.

I don't get the error when I disabled everything up BCEG.

I guess I need to go through every extension one by one, to see where the issue is.

Closing the loop here.

It appears to be something with the Aura effect extension. The PC has Aura of Protection active on the CT, and when applying the Hex effect to the creature, I get that error. When I removed the Aura of Protection effect from the player in the CT, and add the Hex effect to the creature, it works as intended.

Game Rules: D&D 5E
Active Extensions: Better Combat Effects Gold
- I had had a lot more active, but disabled them and re-tested, then tested without BCEG

Situation: I created a series of effects based on the Olothec (a monster in the Flee Mortals! preview documents). The effect is supposed to get worse each round (assuming the actor continues to fail their saving throws).

Effect 1 (applied by monster, 0 Rnd): DegenerativeSlime00; SAVEA: 19 CON (R); SAVEADD: DegenerativeSlime01
Effect 2 (applied by above on fail, 2 Rnd): DegenerativeSlime01; SAVEE: 19 CON (R); SAVEADD: DegenerativeSlime02; ATK: -1d4; TURNRS
Effect 3 (applied by above on fail, 2 Rnd): DegenerativeSlime02; SAVEE: 19 CON (R); SAVEADD: DegenerativeSlime03; ATK: -1d6; TURNRS
- this continues through Slime05 where each subsequent effect applies the increasingly worse penalty die to attacks (up to -1d12).

My Conundrum #1: The first head-scratcher (as I've learned during testing) remains unsolvable. The new effect cannot remove the old effect, only time can do that. Neither can a failed saving throw remove the propagating effect while applying the new effect (well, it can't remove it in general). So, I added the TURNRS in case I forget to manually remove the previous effect. Ultimately, there's a risk (during opportunity attacks) that the poor victim would have two penalties applied, if I didn't manually remove the previous one.

My Conundrum #2: The TURNRS is supposed to remove it at the start of their turn (if the duration is 1 round). It was not. It did not remove it at all, and they kept stacking up.

My Conundrum #3: The duration for each effect is 2 Rounds (so it lasts until the end of the current round, then depreciates to 1, so the TURNRS will remove it at the start of the suffering actor's turn. (Assuming that was working). However, each time I add the effect (with BCEG active), the duration is bumped UP to 3. The duration doesn't seem to count down, each time the next effect is added, the duration seems to be reset to 3, so they never fall off.

Few things here

1) Don't use SAVEA; it's used to automate stuff, and this is a save before you apply an effect like you would a spell so do so as such. Using SAVEA will simply cause issues.
It's meant for things like a trap or a trigger like that. Simply, roll the save, if they fail apply the effect just like most 5E saves should be done.
2)Don't set the turns to 2 with TURNRS, set it to 1, it will put it to 2 automatically, if you set it to 2, it will put it to 3.
3)The issue is that when you fail a roll, it keeps the old effect on because the (R) removes it on a successful roll, well you want it removed on both a successful roll AND on a failed one, only on the failed one you also want to apply the next tier of effects. So that's one issue you will have to overcome.

What I would do is this if I were DMing this. I would roll a save to apply the first effect. Don't use the SAVEA one at all, so first one is roll save, 19 or higher they succeed and don't get the effect, fail you apply effect

Code:

---

DegenerativeSlime01; SAVEE: 19 CON (R); SAVEADD: DegenerativeSlime02; ATK: -1d4; TURNRS

---

(set to 1 round)
you can also use

Code:

---

DUR:2

---

if you want to manually set it with the coding however, just setting it to 1 round works because TURNRS puts it to 2 anyways.

If they fail the save, simply remove the 01 effect, it will have already applied the next effect which should be

Code:

---

DegenerativeSlime02; SAVEE: 19 CON (R); SAVEADD: DegenerativeSlime03; ATK: -1d6; TURNRS

---

(set to 1 round) again

Keep doing this for all your effects last one should be

Code:

---

DegenerativeSlime05; SAVEE: 19 CON (R); ATK: -1d12; TURNRS

---

(set to 1 round)
Another option is changing the monster slightly and simply just add a -1 ATK and stack the effects until successful saves.
Or start with a -1d4, then each new effect adds another -1d4, or something. Setting the duration for however long it lasts, which it looks like no more than 6rounds.

Thanks (as always) for the thorough walk-through!

Two questions, one I hope is an easy one, one head scratcher:

1) Is there anything that works like DUSE, but removes? I'm doing some testing on my re-write and here's what I have:

Code:

---

Spell Effect - Motivational Speech; IF: TEMPHP; TDMGADDT: Motivated
Customer Effect - Motivated; ADVATK; DUSE

---

The issue, this lasts for 1 minute (C) and every time my test character gets hit, the effect goes on properly, disables properly, BUT if I hit them every round, the effects tab just starts stacking up! If I turn off the option "Allow Duplicate Effects" it doesn't allow more to activate, unfortunately, it doesn't reactivate it either, and adding STACK gives the same issue (stacks of the same effect, all disabled). I have even tried setting the duration to 1, unfortunately, this has 2 negatives, one, it removes the advantage if the character doesn't use it on their next turn and 2, when disabled, it doesn't remove it.
The basics of the spell; If the target has temphp from the spell and takes damage, they have advantage on their next attack roll. I tried [ROLL] in the custom effect, but it shows up in the CT as the following so I can't use it:

Code:

---

Motivated; ADVATK; -1

---

2) This isn't removing when damage is done:

Code:

---

Sleep; Unconscious; DMGRT

---

That is the actual copy and paste code from the read me. I was testing it with something else and it wasn't working, so I thought I'd go direct to the source and test a copy paste job.

Second question first;

Use:

Code:

---

Sleep; Unconscious; DMGRT: all

---

First question second;

Questions about it.

So let me understand this right so I know what is going on.

You want to have it set to the source of the spell effect takes damage they get an effect if they have Temp HP that gives them ADV on their next attack roll.

How long does the first part last? Also, how many rounds does the second one last if they don't make an attack roll?

Or just give me the whole spell verbiage and let me work from there =P

I posted this on discord.

Motivational Speech; IF: TEMPHP; IFN: CUSTOM(Motivated); TDMGADDT: Motivated
Set to 1 HR

Effect in the Effects list

Motivated: ADVATK
Set to action; 1 HR

This requires Equipped Effects; Better Combat Effects Gold; and Untrue Effects extensions.

Untrue effects is needed only to stop the stacking issues.

Setting the tag to "Action" vs adding the [ROLL] to the effect worked. That was the fix you mentioned on discord, thanks!!!

I'm trying to automate this, but cant seem to get the syntax right.

Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the darakhul must make a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the darakhul's Stench for the next 24 hours. A darakhul using this ability can't also benefit from Master of Disguise.

Here you go.

Code:

---

Stinky; AURA: 5 all; Stinky; IF: FACTION(notself);Stinky; Poisoned; SAVES: 13 CON (R); EXPIREADD: ImmuneStink

---

Then in the effects window you want.

Code:

---

ImmuneStink; IMMUNE: CUSTOM(Stinky)

---

Set to 24h

I think there is a minor typo in the instructions/readme for RESTS/RESTL

The readme PDF shows
https://i.imgur.com/evHitY4.png

I think it should be reversed.
Shouldn't RESTS fire on either a short or long rest, while RESTL only fires on a long rest? It would seem strange to have something that expired on a short, but NOT a long rest.

After more thought, I don't think this is what you wanted, I'm going to work on how best to do this.

I just tried a simple "SDC:2, self, roll" effect and it didn't do anything. I replaced it with "INT: 4, self, roll" and that correctly increased the caster's save DC by 2. Is there a special format for SDC to modify spell save DCs?

Can confirm, it's fixed in a test version I was using sorry.

I think it should be reversed.
Shouldn't RESTS fire on either a short or long rest, while RESTL only fires on a long rest? It would seem strange to have something that expired on a short, but NOT a long rest.

Thanks. I think functionally it works and this is a documentation error. I'll have to test.

You'll need a filter, so if you want all then you need all

Code:

---

SDC: 2 all

I have a version I'm still testing where it will assume all if omitted.

I have a question about an existing feature and if this could be added or if someone could suggest an alternative. I have used ATKFADD to make it so that if someone has a critical miss their weapon loses its effectiveness (ATK:-1). Now I am trying to make an effect that if someone is hit by a crit, their armor class will drop by one. Thoughts?

Yeah I can take a look at that.

Version Update 5.0 - Refactor
Feature: conditional operator WEAPON which will return true when a weapon property matches (requires Advanced Effects Extension)
Feature: BCEG saves support (RA) which will remove the effect on a failed or successful save
Feature: ATKCADD add effect/condition on critical hit
Feature: DMGR will now stack with itself
Changed: Damage filters SDC DMGAT, DMGRT, DMGDT no longer require all
Under the Hood: Moved signifgant code around to more fall in line with the FG paradigm and pipelines. Should be easier to maintain and less prone to errors
Under the Hood: Added a binary sorter for better performance when searching custom effects window with a lot of effects.
Under the Hood: Cleaned things up for 3.5e, still not supported but closer.
Performance: Output performance statistics for future performance enhancements to file BCEG-Performance.csv in campaign folder (it won't mean much to you)

This has been in playtest for about a month to help eliminate issues. Thank you @MrDDT, @SilentRuin,@nephranka @Vex for the help in playtest

If you are an extension dev and are hooking into BCEG, you are likely broken

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this can be automated but figured I'd ask. I have a magic item ("Blazing Longsword") which does the following:

"This blazing longsword creates a brilliant flash of light and heat when you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a 20 for a Critical Hit on the attack roll. That target takes an extra 1d8 fire damage. Additionally, any hostile creature within 5' of the creature struck must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or suffer 1d8 fire damage."

Is there a way to automate something like this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
