IFT: CUSTOM with DC effects

[Midge]

I've been building some automation for a character that uses the Knowledge is Power feat on their Wizard. I've set it up like:

Effect on Player:
Knowledge is Power 1

Effects on Monster:
IFT: CUSTOM(Knowledge is Power 1);AC:-1, circumstance; SAVE:-1, circumstance (Expends on One Action)

IFT: CUSTOM(Knowledge is Power 1);ATK:-1, circumstance; DC: -1, circumstance (Expends on One Action)


The first effect triggers correctly without issue, the second effect however only seems to work when the monster attacks a player. The DC: -1 effect never triggers when the monster casts a spell on player, yet DC: -1, circumstance seems to work fine on it's own as an effect when not included in IFT: Custom.

Just curious if this is intended or if it's possibly a bug

Only effects that are listed as targetable (T) can be used with IF/IFT condition effects. In the FG PF2 Effects wiki page both the DC and SAVE effects aren't listed as targetable, so this is working as expected.

That makes sense with DC: -1, we'll have to do that manually then. It's interesting though how SAVE:-1 still works with this automation despite being targeted.

Looking at the code in depth you're correct, the save source is used for calculating reverse IFT effects from a defensive standpoint. I'll review the code further and update the Wiki SAVE effect as needed. Thanks for making me aware.
