I have AEs here and I need them there.

#

@rancid oxide @tranquil gyro

#

🙂

fading marsh
#

so, hello, winterwulf, where are we

rancid oxide
#

hi

#

I don't mean to cause annoyance

fading marsh
#

not at all 🙂 we were close

#

just getting noisy

rancid oxide
#

haha ok

tranquil gyro
#

yeah, it was just very two active conversations at the same time

fading marsh
#

yea, changing AC calc when you need to is definitely the simplest

rancid oxide
#

I understand it is easier to just flip, but I was trying to automate all the spells for this player

fading marsh
#

the Active Effect on the actor approach is...fine...but still feels weird

#

question, do you use midi or better rolls?

rancid oxide
#

midi

fading marsh
#

oh, midi should be able to apply that, right?

tranquil gyro
#

oh, if you already use it it can be configured to transfer effects from spells to actors

fading marsh
#

i am far from an expert on that module

rancid oxide
#

but when I transfer it instantly apply, unles I click to keep it suspended

#

I will look into midi

fading marsh
#

should be like...dont transfer on equip, target self in the spell details, and settings to support active effect stuff

tranquil gyro
#

in Midi's workflow settings, if you have "Auto apply item effects to targets", that will transfer AEs

rancid oxide
#

Ok thats is active

tranquil gyro
#

you would have to remember to remove manually after 8 hours of in-game time though... or use another module (Simple Calendar?) to remove it

rancid oxide
#

I have simple calendar too

fading marsh
#

about time?

rancid oxide
#

I have like 100 mods

fading marsh
#

times up?

rancid oxide
#

yes

fading marsh
#

i always forget

rancid oxide
#

for all those

#

hahah

fading marsh
#

lol, fair, so you would use one of them if you wanna auto-remove

tranquil gyro
#

same, Times Up is for short-term effects (mainly those that would expire during a combat, i.e. 1 minute or less)

rancid oxide
#

I have set 28800 seconds in the AE spell duration

tranquil gyro
#

you need the other ones that rely on a calendar to expire the long-term effects

fading marsh
#

"Times Up" - right now = short term
"About Time" - a book about time = long term

#

i will remember this one day

rancid oxide
#

hahaha good idea

tranquil gyro
#

Luckily my games don't have enough things that require AEs, and those that do are short-term so Time's Up is good enough for me

rancid oxide
#

So I have all these, I wanted to have the spell to activate when I cast it only. and it deactivate when the time pass.

#

I had it with the light spell for example

tranquil gyro
#

Or I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if I already wanted a calendar to help keep track of time... then it's no big deal to slap on an extra mod to expire AEs

rancid oxide
#

I am stupid!

#

should I be targeting when rolling the spell

#

ooof

tranquil gyro
#

If the spell/feature targets Self, you shouldn't have to

#

I don't have experience with spells that way, but I configured the barbarian's Rage feature to target Self and it worked

#

should be the same for spells though

rancid oxide
#

yeah haha

#

now that I am targeting a pop up shows up

rancid oxide
#

my bad, i feel so dumb

#

lol

#

thank you so much for bearing it with me, you guys rocks ❤️

tranquil gyro
#

No worries, automation is hard. It shouldn't be, but I think that's just the way it is with dnd5e because a lot of stuff is exception based (there's a certain core set of rules then a bunch of exceptions). And spells have a lot of exceptions

rancid oxide

I agree, thanks!!
