    Coding Effects Ancestral Protector UA Barbarian

    Hi guys,

    I have been trying to figure out how to code the Ancestral Protectors feature from the Ancestral Guardian Path in the UA article. (I know it comes up in XGtE as well, but we are playing soon)

    What it does is that the first target you hit while raging will have disadvantage on attack rolls that do not target you, and targets that aren't you will have resitance against the attacker.

    How do I build this?

    Thanks in advance, hoping to learn.

    You'll need to create an effect of DISKATK: and place it on the NPC. The DM will then need to use the targetting reticule to drag the effect from the CT on to every other PC.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here http://fgapp.idea.informer.com/

    Figured it would be anoying
    Any way to half damage something? Might be easier to make a single condition that does DISATK and then half damage if they target something else. Lesss dragging :P

    Unless your UA is different from mine there's no half damage thing. Basically if the the creature selected doesn't attack the Barbarian they get disadvantage on their attacks. There's no damage resistance.

    It is probably that you haven't seen the revisted subclasses UA.

    Ancestral Protectors
    Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. These warriors distract a foe you strike and hinder its attempts to harm your companions. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors. Until the start of your next turn or until your rage ends, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn’t target you, and creatures other than you have resistance to the damage of the target’s attacks.

    Ah, ok. Then an effect of RESIST: all will need to be placed on all party members apart from the Barbarian.

    You can create a custom effect for all PCs that aren't the barbarian, something like "Not Barbarian, and then the barbarian can create an effect Ancestral Protectors; IFT: CUSTOM(Not Barbarian); DISATK with duration of one round that it can apply on the target.
