    The 5e Automatic Effects Dungeon Master's Guide has also been updated following its new requirements.
    As for the Player's Handbook all power descriptions have been replaced by links to the official core rulebooks.
    But for the Dungeon Master's Guide this ment a new challenge: What about magic items which are (by default) not available to be loaded by players.
    MeAndUnique and I found a subtle solution for this problem: "Shareable links"
    If you never heard of them, don't panic, we didn't either. Found it by trial and error.
    How does it work? When shareable links ("public" in xml terms) are inside a "Story" entry and you share that single story to your players, all shareable links inside will also be shared to your players.
    Well, me made such a Story entry with hidden links to all those magic items that are normally unavailable to load by players.

    Your players will be able to open the link provided in the magic item power description or let Equipped Effects do the 'hard' work for them, transferring the description from the official DMG inside the power.

    Important: Everything that is provided in the DMG Player version is linked accordingly. When a player version exists, it is used.
    The above text only applies to those not available in DMG Players

    Alternatives:
    - It is also possible to share those links individually, if you dont want to share all of those. E.g. the moment a player equips a magic item, go to his action tab, click the power link and share the underlying link to the Dungeon Master's Guide.
    - Sharing the whole DMG will also work just fine, but may not be desirable to do carte blanche for many DMs.

    The screenshot shown above will share only the items that are linked by Automatic Effects' powers.
    It strikes a middle ground between having to manually share items one at a time, while still keeping the bulk of the module private for the DM.

    To be clear, this particular statement is patently false. Just FYI.

    Since I've been called a liar, I feel the need to defend myself. For clarity, I will quote the original post I was responding to my entire post as everything I said adds context, while quoting only one line explicitly removes context.

    If I load Rob's coding and then drag an item named "Scroll of Fireball" to my inventory, nothing happens except I have the scroll in my inventory.

    If I load up Silent Ruin's extension and Aridhro's coding and drag the same item named "Scroll of Fireball" to my inventory, it AUTOMATICALLY adds single-use Fireball spell coding to my Action tab. And the same is true of ANY scroll, ring, rod, staff, weapon, armor, or other item found in the Player's Handbook or Dungeon Master's Guide that needs coding. And they went above-and-beyond and made these ready to work with Lighting FX when those additions get added to LIVE.

    So saying that "Rob already did this" is both false and rather ignorant. Watch the video and see what the extension + module does before you say nasty things.
    And now, video evidence that I wasn't lying or posting "patently false" statements.

    I should point out that in this video the links are really all that Aridhro's data has. Equipped Effects has one of those options that can be turned on to interpret the first link in the text/description of an item, NPC other tab, or spell/power description and look up the reference of the original source without putting anything in the DB. Purely display only - to conform to SW/WOTC directive to only provide links in order to insure source modules cannot be left out.

    Also as a note on this excellent video - you can see some of the abilities have been automatically added into the Actions tab - those were done by equipped effects looking up the feature/trait/feat in abilities tab and finding a name match in powers - then added it in. The Features and Traits categories are specifically those. The Equipped Items is the category that occurs with equip/unequip specifically. If a feature/trait/feat/item has a name match (or template name match) in custom effects (combat tracker) or spell powers (action tab) it will always automatically add them in (if options allow). Works for PCs and NPCs also.
