    Conditional effect for gnoll subtype

    hello, I have a quick question about the script of a gnoll killer success story, the script I'm indicating:

    IFT: TYPE[gnoll]; ATK: 2; DMG: 2

    When I try the script it works for gnoll, but when I try it on another non gnoll target, the effects also work, i don't understand why?

    Welcome to the forums!

    Make sure you follow the format of conditional effects listed here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/...onal_Operators

    Note that you shouldn’t be using square brackets. TYPE ([creature type]*) Replaces TYPE [creature type] with one or more from the list. So, use TYPE(gnoll) in your example.

    Thanks for your answer, but if I do the script like that: IFT: TYPE(gnoll); ATK: 2; DMG: 2, the effects don't work at all when I target a gnoll. As much as I replace gnoll with giant it works, as well with gnoll no.

    The effect IFT: TYPE(gnoll); ATK:2;DMG:2; works fine for me:

    Make sure that the creature you're targeting has a type entry that includes subtype Gnoll - the conditional effect triggers off the type/subtype, not the name.

    Ah, so you’re using Pathfinder, not 3.5E.

    This is indeed an issues with Pathfinder. Gnoll is missing from the creaturesubtype list in the PFRPG ruleset.
