Effect Coding Questions & Answers

[wakhere]

so many thanks to krugulem

the answer is

(N)PC Specific Note
Tag
Notes
STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA
Ability bonus, now respects changes through effects, too
NdM + K
M positive or ”F”, N non-zero, K arbitrary number; die evaluated as random table when applied from actions tab 

d X {other tag}
X = 1, . . . , 9 (if none, it will assume X = 1). The other tag will get divided by X.

For example ATK: [d4STR]; additional attack mod given by the strength mod divided by 4

{other tag} X
X any non-negative total number (also more than one digit possible). The other tag cannot be bigger than X then; this operation is after all multiplications but before a sign change
^ {other tags}
Put at the very beginning (or before or directly after the minus sign, if at all); will force a rounding up instead of down. This happens before a sign change is applies, that is, the absolute value will be rounded up. E.g. [^-HCL] halves the CL, rounded up, then makes it negative.
One can also combine numbers with the letter tags like in [H3STR]; first the letter, then the number, as for the new d tag from above.

This is what i wanted... its not everything i would have liked in terms of maths functions but i can now work thru it.

Hey folks,

Going with the old intro, 1st time poster, long time reader.

Thank all the TTRPG & Fantasy Grounds Gods for this Forum otherwise FG would be very cumbersome and you might as well stick with the old paper method running TTRPGs, at least in my opinion.

Anyway, I have two coding questions:

1. How does one code for doing half damage? I am trying to set up some coding for underwater combat and the tools I'm using right now don't allow a multiplication of .5.

2. How does one code for doing 1.5 damage? This is pretty straight forward in the standard character sheet but I can't get it to work in the NPC character sheet under the attacks.

Apologies if this has already been covered in another post. I still can't get the hang of the search function in these forum settings. If there is already a thread with this info, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone would post the link.

Thank You!

I have the spell book and its great! Thank you.

The enlarge person spell is not working quite the way I want. It doesnt change the weapon damage dice. I've tried to recode it a couple times without sucess. Here is what I am writing....

Enlarge person;ESIZE:1, 2d8

So I am wanting one size increment change and the weapon they use changes from 1d8 to 2d8 I believe.

Nice! You do know about the spellbook extended mod i hope. Most spells have effects done. (No idea if that is in it)

But that feeling of using the provided effect programming to accomplish the automation is awesome. Its why i am enjoying doing the feat+ mod.

This is what I use for Enlarge Person:

Enlarge Person; SIZE: 1 size, melee; STR: 2 size; DEX: -2 size

But you'll need the Size Changes extension to make it work.

Question on how to code Black Tentacles - https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=23

it is a Spell Attack roll vs. targets Fortitude DC.

In my install, it is coded as a Fortitude Saving throw vs. Spell Attack DC, which is close but the opposite of what we want. (want attacker to roll D20 + Spell Attack and compare to Targets Fortitude + 10, not have target roll D20 + Fortitude and compare to Spell Attack + 10)

Any way to code Spell Attack vs. Target Fortitude DC ?

Thanks in advance

As far as I am aware, I don't know if that is possible in 1e. Then again, why are you using the PF2 version of the spell? The PF1 version of the spell would be a modified CMB attack.

I am trying to code ATK: 1 and the bonus goes up by 1 at 8th and 16th levels. I know for +1 every 2 levels its ATK:1 [HCL] (and there is a way to make it +1 at 3,5,7...) and I can do [QCL] for every 4 levels. is there an every 8 levels?
