Effect on damage

[g0ntzal]

Hi guys,

If I apply an effect [Damage +2] (for example) on a active character, I get the modified damage roll only for fighting attacks but no for ranged attacks.

Someone else?

(Core RPG 3.1.7 and SW 4.2.5)

Thanks,

Gon

That's how it was implemented, ie. Damage keyword only applies to non-ranged damage rolls

However, here is small sample extension that provide more effect modifier keywords such as:

• [MeleeDamage +1] -- Applies damage modifier to melee damage rolls
• [RangedDamage +1]-- Applies damage modifier to ranged damage rolls
• [ThrownDamage +1]-- Applies damage modifier to thrown damage rolls
• [ArcaneDamage +1]-- Applies damage modifier to any arcane damage rolls
• [MagicDamage +1]-- Applies damage modifier to magic-typed damage rolls
• [PsionicsDamage +1]-- Applies damage modifier to psionics-typed damage rolls
• [MiraclesDamage +1]-- Applies damage modifier to miracles-typed damage rolls

Adding new effect modifiers is very easy to do if you are savvy-enough to write extension

NOTE: This extension is no longer needed because these new effect keywords are included into SavageWorlds ruleset. The extension is still left here as sampler

Is there a way to let players apply effects themselves or am I missing something?

Thanks so much, Ikael. You are the light into the darkness

Yeah I really wish I could figure out how to let players apply effects themselves if it's even possible. It's keeping me from fully using effects right now because if I have a big group with Arcane Background folks and players who uses a lot of tactics I have to scramble through an already cluttered screen to drag and drop effects.

Spot on. This feature would be so helpful. The SW ruleset doesn't really need much but this is top of my wishlist

Unfortunately players cannot manage effects at the moment. You could add it to SW wishlist if it's still used

Could the opposite be done as easily? As in adding to Toughness/Armor or Parry when defending against a type of damage? More specifically, medium and large shields add +2 to the Armor when hit by ranged attacks, can it be done in code as an effect?
