5E Better Combat Effects Gold

Forge Link: 5E Better Combat Effects Gold

Better Combat Effects Gold (BCEG) is an extension that allows for fine tuning of when effects are enabled, disabled, removed, and added. Better Combat Effects Gold is specifically tuned to support 5E Automatic Effects packages. The features added allow BCEG and 5eAE to automate NPCs and PC effects to work as written in Fantasy Grounds Unity.

Building off of the wildly popular free extension Better Combat Effects (BCE), BCEG is the next evolution of the product. It is backwards compatible, while adding new and exciting features. All future development will happen within BCEG.

Note: A module is included with this extension which contains complete documentation.

Additions BCEG has over BCE:

• Save vs Condition - Saves against conditions will automatically be granted adv/dis based on the traits of the actor making the saving throw.

• ADVCOND,DISCOND: [condition] - Explicit advantage/disadvantage when rolling a save vs condition

• Documentation module - A module is include with this extension that details a complete list of effects tags for BCEG

• Ongoing Saves (ADV) (DIS) - (ADV)(DIS) can be added to BCE ongoing saves to grant advantage or disadvantage

• DUR: (N) - Dynamically set the duration of the effect at time of add. (N) can be number or dice string

• SAVERESTL - Perform ongoing save on long rest

• SSAVES, SSAVEE - Perform ongoing save on the source of the effects turn.

• EFFINIT: (N) - Set the initiative of the effect on add

• NOREST, NORESTL - Actor gains no benefit from short rest/long rest

• DMGA,DMGD,DMGR now accept damage and range types as filters

• ATKD,ATKA,ATKR - Activate, Deactivate, Remove effect when the attack action is taken

• SAVEADD: (N) (effect) - Will only activate when the save fails by (N). Think of this as a "Hard fail". If (-N) will fire when the result is N or less.

• Replace FGU [] Tags - Tags like [PRF][LVL][CLASS] can now be defined in the NPC sheet effect list as (PRF)(LVL)(CLASS) to process as expected

• (DE) - Will disable the effect on use

• SDC - Can be written as [SDC] or (SDC)

• (E) - Will remove the effect when the source of the effect drops to 0 HP

Hi rhagelstrom, should the instruction module be live already? I've refreshed the FG updater multiple times but I can't see it in my module list. (as an aside, the extension is available).

***Sorry, please ignore. I just read the Grim Press Discord and it's not there yet.

[rhagelstrom]

It seems the .mod wasn't in the original upload. The fix is awaiting SW approval. I've attached the mod to the first post in the meantime

[Grimlore]

The module should now be included. Sorry for the mix-up.

I have to say Ryan, this is crazy awesome, so much time saved for DMs and players, can't believe how much work you've put into this. Hands down couple this with 5eAE (Automatic Effects mods) it's just so easy and clean now.

Would you also provide a PDF of the documentation as a handy reference without opening a module reference in game?

Have you heard of the Effect Builder extension? https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...Effect-Builder

He is the second post in that thread.

You can find all the documentations in the FORGE post btw.

It's not to hard to make a PDF if you want it, however, I just use the FORGE posts as they are updated.
