5E - Aura Effects

[bmos]

Yeah, thats what I have been doing.

When testing in 5E the IF: FACTION does keep the effect from applying on the caster.

Are you testing with exactly that same effect?
To me it basically just looks like you'd have to mark the caster as neutral since a PC caster is marked "friend".

EDIT: here is v0.5 which fixes the excessive "effect already exists" chat messages.
Now it only posts when entering/exiting an aura.

Yes, it does that in PFRPG as well. I assumed that was normal behavior based on how the example effect is written.

I would write that as: ATK: -2; AURA: 5 friend; Example; ATK: 2

That works in most situations but this example it does not work:

SKILL: -1 diplomacy; AURA: 10 friend; Aura of Diplomacy; SKILL: 1 diplomacy

I have not tested your updates but wanted to mention the negative number bug in the original code that was fixed in this post:

Have you tried with the new version I just posted? I think I might have just fixed that on my own haha

I will give it a good testing today and report back :-) Thanks for working on this extension!

Here is an issue I found on large creatures. The token has to be centered on the large token to get the aura effect to apply. If in the square the aura effect is not applied.

p.s. Still don't know what the IF: FACTION does.

I think you're getting confused about how factions work (or else I am misunderstanding it). "foe" doesn't seem to mean foes of that creature, it means any creatures marked as foes on the combat tracker.

Well you do have it set to AURA: 1... so I'm surprised it even works there.
I think what you're looking for is AURA: 5. In this example I think you want "AURA: 5 friend; Otyugh Stench; ATK: -2".

P.S. Still don't know what the IF: FACTION does.

IF: FACTION(foe) means the part of the effect after that will be ignored for anyone who isn't marked in red on the combat tracker.
IF: FACTION(friend) means the part of the effect after that will be ignored for anyone who isn't marked in green on the combat tracker.
IF: FACTION(faction) means the part of the effect after that will be ignored for anyone who isn't marked in yellow on the combat tracker.
IF: FACTION(neutral) means the part of the effect after that will be ignored for anyone who isn't marked in white on the combat tracker.

In 4e if its AURA: 5 then it goes out 5 Squares. I did try AURA: 2 and it worked so I imagine it might need to be AURA: 10 for other rulesets.

Let me break down the Effect code and how its working (or not) in 4e. Is this working differently in Pathfinder?

Aura Effect is applied to the Large NPC creature in Red.
ATK: 2; AURA: 2 foe; IF: FACTION(neutral); Otyugh Stench; ATK: -2

"ATK: 2" I have to add this so the "ATK: -2" is not applied to the Red NPC giving the Aura.
"AURA: 2 foe" This causes the effect to be applied to the PC's (shown as the red down arrow on its token). If I put "AURA: 2 friend" the Aura effect will be applied to the other hostile NPC's.
The IF: FACTION(neutral) or any other faction does nothing. The Neutral yellow highlight creature is still getting the ATK: -2 shown with the red down arrow.




So in all the test iterations the "IF: FACTION(foe), IF: FACTION(friend), IF: FACTION(faction), IF: FACTION(neutral) has no affect on anything.

Regarding the range issue you're seeing, try re-downloading v0.5. I just pushed a hotfix that should address that.

I have not done much testing with IF: FACTION, so you'll have to wait for an answer there.
