5E Extension - Change an NPC's damage output with the mouse wheel from the CT
Inspired by Alphastream's article How to Challenge Players? Just Add Damage!, this a very small extension that allows the DM to change an NPC's "offense" abilities by hovering over them in the CT entry's and then scrolling up or down.
How to
On the combat tracker, while holding the Ctrl key and hovering an Offence ability, use the mouse
wheel to increment or decrement either:
- the attack bonus;
- the number of damage or healing dice;
- the save DC;
- the recharge dice.
Hold the Alt key and use the mouse wheel to cycle through:
- the damage and healing die type (d4, d6, d8, d10 or d12);
- the saving throw's ability (str, dex, con, int, wis, cha).
Automatic cantrip increment for spellcasters
When added to the CT, NPC's with the "Spellcasting" trait will have their cantrip's DMG and HEAL die expressions automatically incremented based on their spellcasting level. Dice count is incremented once if 5th-level or above, twice starting at 11th-level and three times after 17th.

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

This is so great for NPC spell casters where their cantrip damage should higher due to their level.
Great but so simple.Last edited by spoonhead; June 15th, 2021 at 07:29.

Would it be possible to expand this out to other parts of effects, like HEAL effect, damage buffs, etc?
