5E Advanced Effects (items, npcs, characters)

[MrDDT]

You can't change the base ability score (at least not with an effect). You'll need to calculate what the additional modifier will be and add that as an effect. Note also that you cannot do this with this extension since the PCTag effects (STR in this case) needs to be on the characters action tab in order to be effective.

I don't think you understand how this EXT works you are posting in as that is not the case.

This EXT is made to not have to have these on the action tab at all.

The issue with STR: X etc. is though, it doesn't seem to adjust things like encumbrence, if I remember correctly. That's why, it was always easier just changing the strength score on the character sheet to 19, I found.

I am aware of what the extension does; and have actually used it a long time ago. However what I didn't know was that it had been updated to allow the use of PCTags in items which it didn't when I used it. I should have tested that before making the post. My bad.
