[2LVL] in effect not working

I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I assume that this type of processing is game-system specific and the issue is in a Pathfinder Remastered campaign.

I am trying to add the effect for Kineticist Deflecting Wave feat (provides resistance equal to PC level for bludgeoning/slashing and twice PC level for acid/fire). I coded the effect as:

Code:

---

Deflecting Wave; RESIST: [LVL] bludgeoning; RESIST: [LVL] slashing; RESIST: [2LVL] acid; RESIST: [2LVL] fire

---

When added to the combat tracker for a level 1 Kineticist, it yields:

Code:

---

Deflecting Wave; RESIST: 1 bludgeoning; RESIST: 1 slashing; RESIST: [2LVL] acid; RESIST: [2LVL] fire

---

From my understanding, the computation is done as the effect is being added to the combat tracker, so this will not work correctly when the damage is applied.

This has been discussed recently in the Release 19 thread. The issue is when there is something after the [2LVL]. I'll get this fixed in a future release. In the meantime, as a workaround, use [2LVL], fire - i.e. put a comma after the ].

This works. Thanks!

It probably won't get fixed in a future release. The best "fix" would break data with a space - e.g. cold iron damage types. So the syntax going forward will require a comma.

Or maybe it will...

Issue with extra effect data after [xLVL] entries has been fixed: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...uary-23rd-2024

It was deep within a complex regular expression - but the fix is pretty risk free for existing effects, so I got it updated today.

Yay!
