#Active Effects documentation suggests to look for Effects tab on actors

Such tab is not even remotely guaranteed to exist on actor sheets or be named that. It's entirely up to the game systems to decide how and where they are, if anywhere, so the suggestion seems rather arbitrary guess on what systems might have.

The most important thing to do before trying to get started is to make sure that your game system provides a way to manage Active Effects. Beyond the system telling you that Active Effects are supported on their package page- the simplest way to know if they are is to check Actor and Item sheets to see if there is a tab called "Effects".

I did take the time to verify-- a majority of game systems which use active effects do provide an 'effects' tab on an actor. Though i understand this is not always the case it is is a good indicator. There is no universal indicator that a system supports active effects, hence the caveat that without the system outright stating it supports active effects there aren't a lot of ways to identify if it does or not

I've adjusted the formatting of the paragraph to hopefully improve readability slightly.

This is pretty but unclear on what active effects are doing

Was that meant to be an example tab?
