Naming custom effects?

**Seems** · September 29th, 2020, 22:29

I found a thread about this for 5E but it doesn't seem to pertain to PFRPG, and most of the "how to" videos seem to focus on 5E. I'm accumulating a nice little list of custom effects to slap on when needed - we're all pretty new to FG and I need to be able to move things along without them having to worry about coding their own effects just yet. Is there any way to name the custom effects so I can keep them all straight? At the moment it all looks like "STR:6; CON:6; AC:-4; SAVE:3 will", which I have to remember is for the barbarian's abyssal bloodrage, not to be confused with "ATK:2; DMG:2; CMD:2; AC:4; CMD:4; CON:4" for the druid's atavism spell!

Add the name followed by a semi colon. So Abyssal Bloodrage; ATK:2; DMG: 2 etc

Thank you!

This doesn't seem to work anymore. I put in the name, semicolon followed by the resist coding for an ability and it still includes the coding and not just the name for me.

What ruleset are you using? And can you show us the effect that you are trying to make work?

Adding a label doesn't hide the effect coding. It just allows you to have a name reference for the effects.
