Damage reduction.
Is there a way to reduce damage dealt to character that has the Heavy Armor Master feat by 3? Its kind of a pain to just go in and modify the damage in the combat tracker after damage is applied. Is there a way to automate this? Thanks for any replies.

Hmm.. you can do both parts of what you'd need, but I can't seem to get them to work together. Like you can reduce damage by 3 no problem, DMG: -3 and you can resist the damage types as in RESIST: bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, !magic but something like: IF: damagetype(bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, !magic); DMG: -3 isn't working. It's the "damagetype" conditional that seems to be missing for IF or some other way to test for incoming damage types.
Reading the earlier posts about this on the forums it seems mostly people just either use a DMG: -3 effect on themselves or have the GM apply the -3 mod as they roll damage.

Seems it might have worked in 3.5: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...-overcoming-itLast edited by kylania; August 2nd, 2015 at 08:55.

I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.

Numerical resistance effects are supported in 5E. This was specifically added to support Heavy Armor Master.
The effect Nickademus posted should work. Let me know if it does not.

I swear it wasn't working, then I went and reset the chat log and started to test every variation of the command and now it's working! But I'm sure the first few times I tried it it didn't work...
Someone should add this as an example to the Wiki. Just having the (N) in the syntax chart isn't obvious enough that this works without an example. Especially since the functionality changed from the DR of previous rule sets apparently.
