A Halfling gets this - Bold: You gain a +5 racial bonus to saving throws against fear.
Is there a way to automate this?
An example of a Fear keyword attack:

In this example I would like the Halfling to get a +5 to his save roll to remove the -2 penalty to all defenses.
No, because you can't have a saving throw against a condition. The addition would have to be added to whatever ability score is being used for the save and that varies depending on who or what is forcing the save.
I believe that there is an extension available from the DMsGuid which automates this. https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?...t%20McCullough
Hah! Just noticed this is the 4E forum not 5e. So ignore my answer :)
Well, at least the bit about the extension anyway.
Thanks Zacchaeus, maybe I can deconstruct the extension you sent for 4e use.
So the problem comes if they have to make several saves and some of them are fear effects and some are not. That is a situation that the program can't handle.
If it's only one or the other, so only fear effects or other effects, it can be automated like this:
Have this on the halfling:
IF CUSTOM(Fear Effect); SAVE: 5
And have all your fear effects, that are [Save Ends], like this
Fear Effect; ....................
where the dotted line is replaced by whatever the fear effects actually does, for example
Fear Effect; DEF: -2
If it is mixed conditions, the halfling would get a +5 to all saves though, not only the ones that are fear effects.
This is a great solution.Quote:

Secondly, I notice on the CT the Effects on the NPC Sheet Stat Block which reads
Effect: The target takes a -2 penalty to all defenses (save ends).

This shows on the CT as [EFF] but does not do anything.

I must drag the effect from the NPC Stat Block onto a character.

I don't think so. If there is, I haven't found it. Sadly the monster or NPC blocks are much harder to fiddle with get right than the PC sheets.

Have you tried to drag and drop that [EFF] onto PCs in the CT?
The [EFF] is not selectable, clickable or dragable.Quote:
