Is there a tutorial someplace for putting Traps and Hazards (primarily HAZARDS) in the NPC blocks for 5E? I'm vexed by what goes where and how to make it functional. In 3.5E (on FGC) there was a distinct difference between a NPC and a trap, 5E has no such distinction.
Thanks in advance

There is a long discussion on it here, as well as an exampe mod with some cusotm & SRD traps and hazards. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ards-amp-Traps I know there are other trap modules on the forums and DMsGuild. Though I think they all pre-date te MToF format.

You can also see example traps and hazards from both the DMG and I think MToF has examples of a newer format. Plus Unearthed Arcana has examples that pre-date MToF format.

Actually, you're just the guy I need to address this to. In Tasha's Cauldron, for example, there is text for "avalanche" (page 169) and the storms (page 163). I haven't seen the mod that you did for this yet, but it's a perfect example of my question. Seeing that you did the conversion, how did you translate this text into the NPC block? I looked at the mod and the discussion before posting, but it doesn't really get through my skull about the hazards. Traps, I think I got. Hazards seem like a bad algebra word problem that won't sink in.
Thanks again

I didn't actually do anything with those. But if I were to then I'd create an NPC add an action with whatever name I chose and then copy the text into that action. The text would read something like "A creature must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw taking 1d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, with half as much damage on a success".

You can find information on how to set up actions on NPCs here https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...rs#NPC-Actions

Great Thanks,
I guess I misunderstood the "Adapted for Fantasy Grounds by: Zacchaeus" on the Tasha's page here in the FG shop. As usual, I was over complicating things, Thanks again

I did adapt Tasha for Fantasy Grounds; I just didn't create the items you mentioned as NPCs in the module.

Hello,

The new dice packs are very nifty (though I am still startled by how big the dice are now in the UI). I'd really love to be able to use specifically themed dice for specific actions - e. g. fire dice for fireballs, lightning dice for thunder effects. Is it possible now (or planned to be possible in the future) to add that as an attribute for effects and actions?

It is in the works. See the sneak peek from earlier this week.

Hello.

The new dices are really big, but it looks cool. However, they are overlapping the mod field in my screen. Can we move the new dice position? Where? I couldn't find it in the options.

If you hover just to the left of the d20, you should see a lock icon appear. Clicking it will allow you to move the dice.

The ruleset also controls where the dice are placed. Any ruleset that uses extra buttons next to the modifier box will need to be updated to move the new dice panel to the correct location. Please reach out to the developer for the ruleset to get them to address.
