I hope this question isn't too ridiculous, as I'm still learning my way around everything in Fantasy Grounds, particularly automation. I've read up on how to define effects, but I'm alittle confused as to the extent of the automation, and IF I am apply the effects correctly. As an example, attached is my wifes druid, with a simple entangle spell <AE Version>.
Firstly:
# All in AoE: Entangle; (C); Restrained; 'Escape DC: (SDC) Str
When apply this effect to a target, am I supposed to see some automated Escape checks? Or is this text only a reminder that I need to do something. I guess I was expecting that each round, the target would automatically roll for escape.
Secondly,
$ Entangle; (C)
Am I supposed to apply this to self via combat tracker effect targeting.? As I understood from reading about effects, that concentration checks were automated?
Lastly..
# Entangle; (C); 'Difficult terrain; AoE: 20 square; R: 90
IS this actually going to do anything when applied to target(s), or is it again, a simple note/reminder to the DM on the CT.
I'm very curious if when I apply these effects, I'm doing it correctly. They do get the 'restrained' condition, but I'm failing to see what the other definitions are doing.
I also saw one for thorn whip, where there is a simple IF statement vs. target size, but I didnt see it do anything other than listing that if the size <= large, they can be pulled.
# Thorn Whip; IF: SIZE(<=large); 'Pull 10 ft; STURNRE
In conclusion, I'm very curious if I'm applying/using things correctly, as I'd love to get the most out of this data.
I thought I understood completely, but im not seeing the results I was expecting.
Thank you very much for any help, you guys put in alot of tedious work on this.
