Combat Tracker initiative rolls not showing up in chat

[Zacchaeus]

Hmmm...not sure where to go from here. I verified what you said. When I roll an individual Initiative from the Combat Tracker the Effect is applied. Unfortunately, I'm using auto-rolling of Initiative. I would really hate to manually roll initiative instead. I have some pretty in-depth Custom Crit/Fumble tables and many of the results modify Initiative for the next rnd or next # of rounds either of an individual PC or NPC or of an entire Faction.

On a related question, Do you know if an Effect can be applied to an entire faction instead of 1 combatant at a time?

I appreciate your help. I'm still very much learning the Fantasy Grounds system.

It would seem that applying an effect as in Trenloe's example to one NPC will apply that effect to the whole group.

This is probably gonna seem like an exceptionally stupid question, but I'm gonna say that despite being a relatively intelligent person I avoid "forums" like the plague, because something about them just doesn't work well with the way my brain works...In fact, I don't think I've ever posted to a forum until I started using FG.

Can I move this thread to that 2e Ruleset somehow or do I need to start a fresh post?

No, you have to have permissions. But I've moved it for you.

NPC initiative rolls do not show unless you manually roll for them because most of the time there are a large number of npcs and will flood the chat window. INIT effects are applied whether you roll the initiative manually or if the initiative is auto triggered by new round.

So if I write a custom Effect and test it on an individual PC or NPC, then it should work for the group Initiative as well. That helps!

Is there a way to apply any Effect to an entire Faction without needing to click on each individual combatant?

I so appreciate all the help everyone's providing. I do attempt to search extensively most of the time before using forums to ask questions.

If you target all of the tokens on the MAP and then apply an effect to the group, it will apply to all of them. That's the only thing that comes to mind based on what you are describing.
