    New videos on Effects

    With the latest patch for the 5e ruleset comes a completely re-written effects system with many new features and effects (It's worth noting that many of these effects are in CoreRPG so any ruleset based on that will have these effects as well). To help get you caught up with all of the new stuff I'm recording a series of videos on what's new, how the new system and all of the effects work. Videos will be added as they become available. You can see the complete playlist here.

    The wiki has also been extensively re-written and updated so if you want to read about the new effects and bookmark for reference, or instead of watching videos you can see that here.

    Video One: What is an Effect
    Video Two: Anatomy of an Effect
    Video Three: Duration and Timing
    Video Four: Targeted Effects
    Video Five: Cast/Heal/Damage Dialogs
    Video Six: Conditions
    Video Seven: Combat Modifiers
    Video Eight: Skill and Ability Tags
    Video Nine: Damage Adjustment Tags
    Video Ten: Immunities, Resistances, and Vulnerabilities
    Video Eleven: Ongoing Tags
    Video Twelve: Healing Tags
    Video Thirteen: PCTags
    Video Fourteen: Advantage and Disadvantage
    Video Fifteen: @Tags Part One
    Video Sixteen: @Tags Part Two

    As always, great work from Zaccaeus.
    I updated FG just before a game, and all Target effects from paladin stopped working. lol.

    I'll have to restudy FGU from zero and try to understand it all.

    But i think it's a long term improvement.

    I could never actuallly learn all those FG effects coding.

    Thanks for the great work. I really appreciate how thorough you are.
    If we do not succeed we risk the chance of failure.
