5E Advanced Effects (items, npcs, characters)

[Ozsome]

Thank you very much. I feel better as to why I couldn't make it work.
At least my manual method works for now.

Thanks for the quick reply.

No this was added to his weapon and dose not show on the ct.

If the effect doesn't show up on the PC then it will never trigger. unequip the item and re-equip it.

Just so I am understanding a possible application of this extension:

I've been looking for a means of adding weapon speed into my 5e game. If I loaded this extension and applied an INIT +X to all of the weapons and NPC (Monsters) would this work? Would it automatically add this to initiative rolls on the CT? I am looking to use the 1e/2e 1 to 10 weapons speed, except I'd have to flip the range so that 1 is slowest and 10 is fastest. Is there an upper limit on initiative in FG?

The effects stay in effect until removed, correct? They don't expire with the session?

Thanks for your time and the work you've put into this and other extensions/mods. I don't think you folks that make these additions understand how much we really appreciate what you do. Thanks again!

So I loaded the extension and was able to trial run a weapon speed effect. Worked great and was easy to put in. Thanks for making it so user friendly.

Is this only available on a per campaign basis, or can it be loaded in from a mod? I have made my own version of the PHB which consolidates information from the PHB and Xanath's as well as adding races/classes from other sources. If I were to go into my modded PHB with your extension active, put effects in for each weapon to simulate weapon speed and then export that into a mod, would it work where ever I loaded that mod, providing I also load your extension?

However, I'd have to figure out a way to deal with characters that have multiple weapons equipped. Dual wielders would be crazy fast!

Thanks

Is it possible in FGC to code exploding die? Or a similar effect.

I homebrew a weapon that rolls 2d4 for damage. If you roll the same dice, you can roll an additional d4. You can keep going as long as the numbers match.

This weapon also cannot crit. I'm also not sure if that can be coded

If you can't do it with an effect you make by hand you can't do it with this extension. If you can, then the answer is probably yes.

I believe MoreCore has exploding dice in it. You can pull apart the code to make your own 5E extension that would do it.

Looks like your thread for an extension turned into a "How do I make effects" thread lol.

I do have a question/request for the extension though. The 2e version of this hides the effect from the Combat tracker, making it nice and clean, especially for the GM. It would be cool if the "hide" option didn't put the effect on the combat tracker at all. I've got players with a lot of buffs that I don't really need to see, but still need them running. Things like bonuses to skill rolls and AC. Racial immunity modifiers. All of that would be great to have applied, but hidden in the background.

Is there some setting I have to turn on to get the Advanced Effects on the character sheet to take effect? The effect shows up on the Abilities tab but they don't show up under effects in the CT. Effects on items is working just fine.

*EDIT* - Nevermind... I realized that after you make changes and add effects onto the character sheet, it only applies into the CT once you delete the old character sheet and re-add the updated version to the CT.

[Shireling]

Hold up, if I am adding Advanced Effects on the character sheet under the Abilities tab, can they not use variable-based values like [CHA] but you have to manually put in what that numerical value is?
