5E - Resistance is Futile

[MrDDT]

Hey there. I've been trying out the DMGTYPENEW effect on the Javelin of Lightning, but it doesn't change the damage type or react to damage being dealt even when set to expire on roll. The syntax should be

Javelin of Lightning; DMGTYPENEW: lightning (targeting self, expending on next roll)

Correct?

No you can't put extra stuff in the damage type.

Javelin of Lightning; DMGTYPENEW: lightning

You can also use this if you want to keep your note.

Javelin of Lightning; DMGTYPENEW: lightning; (targeting self, expending on next roll)

Also wanted to note, that in the next update of FG coming next month, the new coding for this will be DMGBASETYPE and it will be core FG coding effect.

I just put those brackets there to indicate the options in the Spell/Ability Effect field; they aren't part of the actual code.

I'm not sure if you're having a problem with Resistance is Futile or something else, but this effect tag will be deprecated in the next patch anyway. DMGBASETYPE will be part of base FGU functionality. DMGTYPENEW will be taken out of Resistance is Futile

I.... forgot to add the extension in Forge.
