How to code the Hex spell

[Ltbadger]

That sir was genius

Thank you very much for all the questions you have answered these last few days.

Hopefully now I have seen you video the Hex will no longer VEX [me]

You don't need to be as specific as that since there are a lot of possible spells with a ranged attack. All you need is a second line in your Hex Spell DMG: 1d6, necrotic with an expiration of on next action. The Player will need to apply that effect to their character before rolling damage if they are casting an appropriate spell.

So it sounds like there is no way to automate Hex damage at this stage appropriate to the various attack circumstances without having to click a button each time the player attacks? Would it be simpler (but basically the same) just to add a 1d6 necrotic damage attack to the sheet and when appropriate they just add that damage roll?

Yes.
