Effect Targeting - 5e

[Zacchaeus]

This stems from a discussion here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...-Ward-2024-PHB

The effect ATK: -1d4 should be set to self and the character would then SHIFT drag the effect onto all enemies (or apply the effect to themselves and then use the targeting reticule to apply the effect to all enemies). However this doesn't work and the enemies aren't getting the -1d4 to attacks. So I suspect that there is a bug in the effect targeting system somewhere?

Doing it that way would set it so that you would have -1d4 to your attack roll when attacking the specified enemies, rather than giving them -1d4 when they attack you - it's the same as the Vow of Emnity setup from the wiki...

Of course you are quite correct. It would need to be applied to the target and then dragged from there using the targeting reticule back to the caster.

Nothing to see here.

Perhaps a new command is in order. There is already the GRANTADVATK and GRANTDISATK, maybe a new grant command for attack roll and damage modifiers would help and make it less confusing???

BCEG recently added "GRANTATK".

"GRANTATK: -1d4" seems to achieve what you are talking about.

Sounds like an idea for the Feature Request if its not there already. Maybe come up with a list of several rather than request individual effects one at a time.

Well, since BCEG has already added that command line, I guess everything that BCEG has ever added would be a good start, lol. It is pretty comprehensive.
