Do negative stat effects not work?
I was trying to make an effect of "DMG: -1d8 [-DEX]" but it doesn't seem to recognize the negative DEX value. It's documented in the wiki that it should work, but no luck. "DMG: -1d8 [DEX]" works just fine, but that works out to -1d8 and then add one back in.
(I need the Parry maneuver: reduce incoming damage by 1d8 + DEX--which I want to just make an effect to drop on the target.)
Anyone know what I should be typing for [-DEX]?"We all take our risks, here in the dungeon." --Bargle

Thanks for report. Double, half and negative are broken; I'll get in next update.
Cheers,

Ha, Xorn. Even without meaning to you have just shown me the way to set up the Monk's Deflect Missile class feature. I was trying to set up the effect on the target rather than the attacker!

So it's broken at the moment but if I set up an effect of DMG: [-DEX] [-LVL] that should properly reduce the damage?

There's been a couple of updates since this post but I'm not seeing anything that would suggest that this particular thingie has been addressed. Am I correct or have I just missed it, or alternatively am I doing it wrong?

See line 11 of the 3.0.11 patch notes: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/filel...atchnotes.html
[5E/4E/PFRPG/3.5E] Ability tags in effect text not being handled correctly if modifiers used (+, -, 2, H). Fixed.
When applying effects from PC sheet powers, bracketed ability tags ([STR],[DEX],...) can be added to the modifier dice and numerical portion to adjust by current PC attribute modifiers. The ability tags can be set to negative ([-INT]), half ([HWIS]) or double ([2CHA]).Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

How the bloody hell did I miss that!
Also I was doing it wrong as well. I am setting up the Monk's Deflect Missile ability (which reduces damage by 1d10+DEX+LVL). I was applying the effect to the monk but of course it needs to be applied to the aggressor.
Another valuable lesson learned. And thank you once again young Trenloe
