Better Combat Effects

[BlazingAzureCrow]

Can you point me to something specific that I can use as a use case?

Tasha's Hideous Laughter
Dominate Beast
Dominate Person
The charm effects from a succubus.

There are other examples, but those are some of the common ones. I specify having a version that also prompts advantage because effects like Tasha's Hideous Laughter cause you to to make damage-triggered saves against it with advantage.

It was mentioned a few pages back, but SAVEA does not seem to work still, just me?

Here is the context in which I am attempting to use it. The SAVES and damage work great.
Spirit Guardians; AURA: 15 foe; Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION(foe); SAVEA: WIS [SDC] (M) (H); SAVES: WIS [SDC] (M) (H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C)

I have also attempted to use the SAVEA by itself, but still nada. No errors are presenting in the Console

I use the following and it triggers as is both when they move into it and at the start of the turn. It also works if I drop the SAVEA or drop the SAVES.

AURA: 15 foe; Spirit Guardians; IF: FACTION(notself); SAVEA: WIS [SDC] (M)(H); SAVES: WIS [SDC] (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 necrotic,spell,magic

Yep! good call, that works perfectly. All I had to do is change the FACTION to (notself) and its working. I was a bit worried that it would impact allies, but the AURA: 15 foe keeps that from being an issue I think.

Thanks nephranka!

You are correct. The Aura line puts in on the foes and the notself keeps it off the source. Glad it worked!

Wouldn't you still want the (C) at the end?

[ShadowedHand]

I'm using (C) in mine, works as intended.

The only thing I changed in my original string is the (notself)

[nephranka]

Yes. I had a different configuration before the update to how concentration works in the ext. Good catch.

I've noticed an error when I place the dodge effect on a PC and it expires. It seems to expire correctly after the error is generated. I am placing the effect off of the created effects on the right hand side of effects that are added by the extension I believe.

I'm not exactly following. BCE doesn't modify or do anything with Dodge. Are you sure what you are reporting is a BCE issue?

Unless I am mistaken (and I may be), BCE has an accompanying bettercombateffects.mod that includes premade enhancements to the effects list window, one of which is a dodge effect that uses BCE with the correct expiration of Dodge. Exhaustion used to be part of that as well before it was pulled into it's own extension.
