Does this EXT detect when an NPC has the Shield spell and can defect the attack? Like Parry can on NPCs?

Shield
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you are hit by an attack or targeted by the magic missile spell
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round
Range: Self
An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +5 bonus to AC, including against the triggering attack, and you take no damage from magic missile.

Currently it doesn't. Some third-party monsters put shield spell into the reaction list. So far the extension checks only reactions and traits lists.

Checking the spell lists might be a feature to add.

Thanks for the fast reply. Thanks for your hard work on this.

Hey, loving this extension, but for some reason it stops working when Mad Nomad's Filterable Inventory is loaded.

Would it be possibile to look into it? Thanks

Hi, sure, I'll try to take a look on the weekend.

Hello Nalistar, I found out that this "Filterable Inventory" extension is a paid extension and I don't have it. For this reason I can't look into its code and check what's going on. Since that extension's author took your money, maybe they can look into this problem. From my side, I'd be happy to make any reasonable change in my extension to make it compatible.

Sorry that I can't be of much help otherwise.
Cheers!

Hey MrDDT, some good news: I added parsing of reaction-type spells so the shield spell should work. Please update to the version 1.1.4.

Currently it works with Shield, Absorb Elements, Hellish Rebuke, Soul Cage and Counterspell from the WotC sources. Silvery Barbs are not supported yet as it uses some trigger types that aren't implemented yes (saving throw or skill check success). I will add it later.

It detects reaction spell if it has casting time: "reaction, which you take ..." and then it looks for different kind of triggers like casting a spell, taking damage, being hit by an attack etc. The wording of triggers can vary, just as with other reactions.

[MrDDT]

This is so awesome. I will check it out once I get a chance. Exciting.

Version 1.1.5 is out that also can process Silvery Barbs reaction spell correctly. Also includes some bug fixes when reactions that referred to creature types for example: "When an Undead under X's control ..." were not parsed, because parser expected words like "ally", "creature" etc. instead of a monter type. Now it should parse such reactions correctly (type is still not involved in triggers evaluation, so even if the reaction says "a friendly undead takes damage", any creature can trigger that reaction).
