How would one start a grapple using the bot?

empty linden
#

Do a rule lookup with Avrae - it will explain the process - e.g. make a special attack action and use a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use).

I am trying to make the weather alias use my custom Synoptic weather pattern is that possible?

viscid kernel
#

If so, you’ll probably need to ask its creator.

crisp moon
#

if i buy compendium-only does it still work with avrae?

empty linden
#

I don't believe so - compendiums are just the book text with no functionality connections to DnDBeyond's tools/services and/or Avrae.

crisp moon
#

ah

#

thank you

#

do i need the dm guide for any functionality on avrae? or can i skip it?

empty linden
#

Only if you want any of the magical items listed in the DM Guide

viscid kernel
#

Those don’t really do anything in Avrae, though.

#

Other than letting you look up their info.

empty linden
#

Yep

viscid kernel
#

There’s a couple subclasses, subraces, and monsters.

crisp moon
#

my friend said either monsters of the multiverse or the monster manual for dming

#

which would be more useful?

viscid kernel
#

If your only interest is DMing, then the Monster Manual.

#

Half of Multiverse is player races.

crisp moon
#

i like playing too

#

but i can just use dicecloud so i dont really need the races

crimson vector
#

How do i wildshape into the animal i need

#

whats the command

hasty pumice
# crimson vector How do i wildshape into the animal i need

We always do !wildshape
then add the creatures health as thp (normally it would stack, so keep that it mind)
then do !ma (mosnter attack) for the creatures attacks
!ma wolf bite -t ZO1 <- example of attack a zombie as a wolf
And since your physical stats change, if you need to make a saving throw, do !ms wolf strength <- put different names for different score

#

oh and !mc wolf athletics
basically
!ma wolf (attack name) for attacks
!ms wolf (save name) for save

#

and
!mc wolf (check name) for checks

hasty pumice
#

Not sure how to change the ac tho

#

also, does anyone know how to make avrae use custom spells?

#

I'm trying to makea spell that damages yourself, and heals the target for the same amount of damage you took

hasty pumice
#

I have this, why does it not understand 1d6, or whatever else I tried. It understands whole numbers, but not this, so i'm confused

image.png image.png
#

@viscid kernel Hey, you usually know this stuff, and I checked in the rules, there were things about contacting mods, but it only mentioned contacting a mod in general, about problems, and didn't mention pinging them. So I hope I'm allowed to ping you, just tell me if I'm not

empty linden
#

Please do not ping all moderators or specific moderators. We will respond as we have time. You might also want to check with the Avrae development Discord - Avrae.io has the link to join.

hasty pumice
viscid kernel
#

I’d remove the Variable altogether.

hasty pumice
#

yeah

viscid kernel
#

Put the 1d6 in your damage.

hasty pumice
#

I found help on the other server, they told me to use roll instead

#

then lateer I remembered the lastdamage thing you told me abt, and used that instead

#

it works noow

viscid kernel
#

Then set the other damage to {{lastDamage}}.

hasty pumice
#

Thanks anyway tho

Avrae

Avrae is a Discord bot designed to streamline playing D&D over Discord. Featuring advanced dice, SRD and character sheet integration, and initiative tracking, you'll never need another D&D bot.

young arch
#

Is there a way in the tomes system to make it so that when an attack hits it causes a parent affect?

viscid kernel
#

Usually easier to add the parent effect before the attack.

white harbor
#

How would one switch characters? I have 2 characters and not sure how to switch between. Them

viscid kernel
#

Otherwise you gotta jump back and forth between targets.

#

But yeah, it’s doable.

viscid kernel
white harbor
#

Oh ok thnks

white harbor
#

Wait nvm I needed to add the other char

flat drum
#

You do need to import both characters.

white harbor
#

Yee I kinda figured that out once I realized it

viscid kernel
#

FWIW, !char list will show all your available characters.

#

Is anyone using the alias, Date and Time?

viscid kernel
#

I think that’s a known issue at the moment.

#

It doesn’t pick up spells from feats from backgrounds.

#

You could add them manually: !sb add prestidigitation

tawny kestrel
#

Preciate it. Yeah, had to add the cantrips in manually.

#

The leveled spells worked fine

main socket
flat drum
#

What specifically are you having trouble with making a calendar?

main socket
#

I am running !date -cl {adding my gvar} and it just breaks the alias

flat drum
#

It should be like !date -cl 99b628a0-bbc5-4f24-8e72-a18a6b26809d

#

No {}

#

Just the address

#

Or !date -cl ebberon

#

For one of the three built-in calendars

#

Based on the help

#

<> indicate manditory arguments
[] indicate optional arguments

#

In either case, don't include the brackets

main socket
#

Right, that was just for example here.
I was trying to implement a custom calendar, and I can't get downtime to go with it as I don't see it in the !date command but I see it in the coding

flat drum
#

I believe !date uses the Time Calculation Library but doesn't use any thing regarding downtime accrument.

main socket
#

I see, with the information provided there would there anyway to use it in conjunction?
I am running a westmarch campaign and putting all the information on World Anvil so the timeline correlates.

flat drum
#

!date cannot interact directly with world anvil

#

But you can make a custom calendar gvar to use with !date

#

It might be able to automatically progress based on real-life time progression.

#

I don't think so based on !date help

main socket
#

Okay, I am not trying to automatically interact with World Anvil through Avrae, it was just for keeping track of tracking time

flat drum
#

With !date, you would manually advance the days as needed

#

If you used a custom calendar, other than the three offered with the alias, you would have to make it.

viscid kernel

!help

flat drum
#

!help attack

viscid kernel
#

Or !help cast or !help init effect

flat drum
#

🥷

viscid kernel
#

It all depends on what you’re using this snippet to do.

#

Assuming this is an attack, -c adds crit damage, -d adds normal damage (which will also follow whatever crit rules you use), and -b adds a bonus to the attack roll.

minor jackal
#

Is it normal that the Artificer Infusions don't trigger bonuses like repeating shot +1 on a weapon? because my musket or even my crossbow don't get this bonus even though it is shown on beyond

viscid kernel
minor jackal
#

I did. I redid the whole set up infusion and attune to it again. now it works. Maybe just a ghosttrouble of the trouble of accessing the sheets

flat drum
#

Sometimes if you have Beyond window open for too long you need to refresh before making changes.

#

Else they don't actually update your sheet.

merry vector
#

Does anyone know how to disconnect your DnD beyond account from Discord?

#

I don't want to get the Avrae messages that I rolled something on dndbeyond anymore

flat drum
merry vector
flat drum
#

!campaign remove

#

remove is a subcommand of the !campaign command

#

Yes you have to be the DM of the campaign to link/unlink the campaign from a channel in Discord.

merry vector
#

So then as a player, all I can do is unlink my discord from dndbeyond?

flat drum
#

Where are you getting these messages?

merry vector
#

If I show the roll to everyone on dndbeyond, then it's in the channel of my campaign discord that my dm linked it up to. If I show the roll only to Self, then Avrae PM's me directly

#

I thought it was cool at first but at this point it's a little annoying

flat drum
#

You can ask the DM to unlink the campaign.

#

Or remove your character from the campaign.

#

Setting it back to "everyone" would at least not PM you.

If you don't use Discord for your character, you can mute the channel where the rolls show up.

#

Not sure how unlinking Beyond from Discord would affect things.

merry vector
# flat drum You can disconnect your campaign with the `!campaign ` command. See `!help camp...

The other problem is that the link you provided goes to the account section of ddb, where it shows the accounts that I do and don't have linked. But there is no option to "unlink", only to "change linked account" which doesn't seem to be helpful at all. I've loaded character sheets into ddb before, but this is the first time I've linked my discord, so it's now reporting every roll I make to either my PM's or the campaign channel

hushed lotus
#

so uh... a friend of mine coded a monster in CritterDB to have resistance to nonmagical BPS.

but for some reason, our magical weapons are still being resisted?

#

but if we capitalize Magical Piercing... it works just fine

flat drum
#

Capitalize it where?

hushed lotus
#

when setting a damage type

flat drum
#

Yes but where

hushed lotus
#

!i a "unarmed" -d "Magical Piercing" gets around resistance.

!i a "unarmed" -d "magical piercing" does not (as shown above)

I... am surprised those commands do anything

v4.2.17 (1651)

@Changelog Follower
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v4.2.17

Improvements

  • Significant upgrades to the Dicecloud v2 AutoParser (Thanks @assert!(Byronius.ping().is_ok())!)
  • Allowing more complex behaviours to be properly captured, like hit and miss effects, proper saving throws, conditional effects, and even indexed lists of effects
  • The cache for /lookup monster, /lookup spell and /lookup item now clears for a user when they switch their personal bestiary/tome/pack, letting you find the selected homebrew without having to wait for the cache to time out

Bug Fixes

  • Setting Max HP via an ieffect now works properly to reduce a targets max hp
  • Fixed a floating point error on parsing float gold to the coinpurse (4.6gp was converting to 4gp 5sp 9cp)
  • Various backend and automation improvements and fixes, including but not limited to:
  • Added an attack action for the Monks Way of the Ascendant Dragon's Draconic Strike
  • Rakdos now properly has Hellish Rebuke available in their spellbook
  • Fixed a typo in the Stirge automation causing it to not properly latch onto the target
  • Wrath of Nature's Rock attack now does nonmagical bludgeoning

Known Issues after Patch 4.2.17 (May 24th)
We've noticed an issue with the patch that came out today, specifically with the updated autoparser for Dicecloud v2 sheets.

Certain automations are being parsed incorrectly, causing an error when trying to use them.

There will be a hot fix going out at <t:1684990800:f> (<t:1684990800:R>) in order to address this issue. There will be a 10-15 minute downtime at that time while the bot restarts.

After the patch is live, Dicecloud v2 users who experienced the issue will need to !update their sheet in order to get the properly parsed automations.

Edit: The fix is now in place. Sorry for the disruption!

What's the command for Great Weapon Fighting style?

viscid kernel
#

If you've got a DDB character sheet, I think it's just included in the weapon attack automatically.

#

If you're using GSheet or DiceCloud, you'd probably want to manually create the attack in Avrae instead.

#

It has to be included in the damage itself.

Hi, wondering if Avrae can help. I want the party to play games of chance, and was wondering if there was an online multiplayer dice roller that supports hiding and unhiding individual rolls? E.g. first roll is public, second, third, and fourth are hidden, last is public, and at the end of that round all of the hidden dice become public?
Is that something that Avrae can support? I read the docs but didn't see anything that would allow hiding and later revealing a roll.

viscid kernel
#

An alias could do it, but there’s probably not an existing one.

Hi i tried using avrae but something went wrong and now it wont let me use initive cause i used it before in testing on another server that is now deleted, can i somehow restart it? also it keeps using a deleted character
can i somehow have it not use any character as i will be using it as a dm

viscid kernel
#

What happens when you try to use initiative? What command did you enter, and how did Avrae respond?

hollow jacinth
#

i tried to do the tutorial for it and it just said this:
Taking Your Turn II - Spellcasting
Orkira the cleric is up next. Normally your players would run their own commands here, but when it's their turn in initiative, you can also act for them. The same !init commands always work for the current combatant, whether it's a monster or a player.

As for Orkira herself, she has one big advantage over your death dog: spellcasting! The command this time is !init cast <spell_name> [args].

Let's summon a spiritual weapon and target our death dog (-t DD1). Don't forget those quotes around the spell name since it's more than one word.
!i cast "spiritual weapon" -t DD1
Initiative (DM) | !tutorial skip to skip | !tutorial end to end

#

when i tried to use the !i cast ... it just says this:
This channel is not in combat.

hollow jacinth
#

any way to restart the bot or something?

viscid kernel
#

For that, you’ll probably want to !tutorial end and start over.

4.2.19 (1653)

@Changelog Follower
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/4.2.19

Improvements

  • Various backend and automation improvements and fixes, including:
    • Fixed the Undead Fortitude automation to correctly set the health of the creature to 1 when using -d to modify the DC of the save
    • Added an action for Satyr's Mirthful Leaps ability, to override the 'attack' imported by DDB
    • Added the ability to use -choice damage on Rage actions to have it include the Rage Damage as part of the effect. Default is still to not grant this global damage bonus.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with certain automation imports from Dicecloud v2 sheets (Thanks @assert!(Byronius.ping().is_ok())!)
    • While the imported automations were not strictly erroring, they were not functioning as expected (Attacks would apply damage regardless of if they hit or not, for instance)
    • Dicecloud v2 users who had imported or updated their sheets and were running into the issue will need to !update again in order to fix the error
  • Looking up longer spells with /lookup spell on servers set to send all lookups to PMs will now properly send the entire spell

# gleaming sedge hi, sorry for the late response, but this wasn't what i meant: i was asking for ...

Sorry for the delay but I don't believe there is a way to do this - Avrae only works with the currently loaded and active character and doesn't have a way of quickly loading a series of portraits from your list of characters. You might be able to create an alias to run several !embed commands that pull images from the various sources (assuming they are on the internet and publicly accessible) but that's still going to be one command after another I think. Maybe check with the amazing folks on the Avrae developer server.

viscid kernel
#

Embeds are the right direction, and you could totally do an alias to show a given picture based on a specific argument.

#

Like !pic armor

#

But I don’t know of any existing alias for this. You may have to write your own.

We've noticed an issue with the patch that came out today, specifically with the DC Bonus Init Effect feature.

  • If you attempt to cast a spell from a combatant that does not have a default spell DC, and do not provide a dc via -dc, it errors when going to add any DC bonuses. The workaround for this currently is to provide the -dc argument to set the base DC.

so i have an account on the mobile dndbeyond app. Our party just started Avrae and when i linked my account it linked the wrong one. only issue is that i have no idea how to sign into my account from my phone to my laptop so that it will register the proper account with the subscription and books i have on my mobile account. cause on my laptop i have nothing with the account it’s signed under and it doesn’t log me into the proper account when i fill my information in. i’m just struggling to figure everything out with Avrae so that i can properly play with the rest of my party.

viscid kernel

Are you trying to say you have different DDB accounts on your phone and your computer?

#

Or different Discord accounts?

potent urchin
#

different ddb accounts on my phone and computer i’ve tried literally everything i can think of to properly log in and use the same account on both my phone and laptop but i haven’t had any luck no matter what email or sign in option i use

viscid kernel
potent urchin
#

it shows the one from my computer i think that’s the one that was already linked to my discord cause i previously used it but the account on my phone is the one i’m trying to sort out. if i can get the phone account on my laptop and link it to discord i’ll be able to figure out the rest i think with Avrae

#

maybe if i delete the other accounts i can have just the phone account and see if that helps

v4.2.22 (1656)

@Changelog Follower
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v4.2.22

New Features

  • Added -cantripdice to override the amount of dice used by automation that calls for cantrip scaling, and can be used to go above the normal 4 limit, allowing additional support for epic level homebrew (Thanks @Blue(Purple)!)
    • Also removed the limitation of cantrip scaling only working for spells
  • Added a series of arguments (-selfability <ability>, -selfcb <bonus>, selfcadv/selfcdis, and -selfmc <minimum roll value>) to affect the casters roll in a contested check (thanks @using(Kedar="p1ng-abl3")!)
  • Added a "Tick on Caster" option for ieffects, which allows them to tick down on the casters turn as opposed to the targets, without the need for a parent effect (Thanks @zhu.exe)
    • In Draconic, you can use this via the tick_on_combatant_id argument in add_effect(), where you can provide a specific combatants ID (SimpleCombatant.id) that the effect should tick on

Improvements

  • Added a confirmation when using !init re to remove all effects, or a specific effect that doesn't exactly match the provided name
  • Removed the requirement to provide a discriminator when adding editors on the dashboard
    • It will currently add a "#0" to the end in the background, which accounts for Discords new "No Discriminators! Yay!" system

Bug Fixes

  • !init note remove <name> was saying it was removing a note, but not actually removing it

Hey @everyone!

Let's get this out of the way: Today marks my final day as an official developer of Avrae and as an employee at Wizards of the Coast.

Wait! Does this mean Avrae isn't going to be updated anymore? (Shamelessly stealing this from Zhu's 'exit post', shhh)

It does not mean that! 😅 Rest assured, there's a fantastic team of dedicated developers over at D&D Beyond/Wizards of the Coast, led by @Solao Bajiuik. Not only will they be taking on the mantle of bot development, automation updates, and managing new content releases, but also to help build the community I've come to cherish so deeply.

Where/why are you going?

My one-year contract with the company has concluded, and due to budget considerations, a full-time position isn't immediately available for me. It's going to be at least six months before I could return as a contractor, assuming an full-time role doesn't open up before then.

I'll still be around, but not in an official capacity. This community is definitely one I still call home, even if I'm not the captain at the helm anymore haha. Who knows, maybe now I'll have time to do that !map rewrite I've been talking about for ages now.

I'm unsure of what lies ahead for Avrae, but I'm still excited about where the journey will lead. And with a bit of luck, maybe there will be an opportunity for me to step back into the arena in the future.

The adventure I've had with Avrae, starting from when I first discovered it in 2017, then becoming part of the staff, and ultimately landing my dream job working on a game that I truly adore, has been an exhilarating roller coaster ride. Who would've guessed that a simple question from my friend, "How do I use Divine Smite?" would set me on a path of exploration, sparking a love for Python and software development, and even leading to my name being printed in actual (digital) D&D books.

This bot... this community... I can truly say it has saved and changed my life. From working on various intricate aliases, learning new concepts, to assisting newcomers to discover the awe-inspiring capabilities of Avrae, it has been a transformative journey. I type here today, between tears, a person worlds apart from who I was when I first joined this server, and I genuinely believe it's a change for the better.

Words fail to express how much each and every one of you mean to me. I'm filled with immense gratitude for having had the opportunity to be a part of this community. Thank you all so much for having me.

Avrae v4.2.23 is now rolling out. Please expect up to 15 minutes of downtime, as Avrae may not respond to commands during the update process. This message will be edited once the update is complete.

v4.2.23 (1657)

@Changelog Follower

https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v4.2.23

New Features

  • You can now use target.name for automations for simple targets as well as normal combatants. ( Thanks @Croebh.not-dev (They/Him))

Improvements

  • Updated Black to 23.3.0 and ran against current code.
  • DiceCloudv2 removed slotFillers and replaced them with Folders/Features. Code has been updated accordingly ( thanks @assert!(Byronius.ping().is_ok()))
  • Added Prompt for yes/no on Initiative Note ( Thanks @Rev )
  • Added parsing for Remarkable Talent for gSheet. ( Thanks @dragoomind)
    • To utilize this, you need to add the following formula to AQ67: =iferror(if(and(vlookup("Fighter",$AR$6:$AS$15,2,false)="Champion",FighterLevel>=7),CEILING(proficiencyBonus/2),""),"")
      • There will be ZERO impact if this formula is missing, it will only be used if it is present.

# hidden mist not sure where else I was supposed to ask this. but how do I use the dyno comman...

Read #find-a-game very carefully - it explains how to use the commands. It's /looking-for dm (replace dm with whatever fits where you want to post). The bot pops up a form for you to fill out. Once filled out and submitted, the bot creates the post in the appropriate channel and adds a thread to it. If you need to make any corrections or handle any queries/responses, use the thread to handle that communication. In the future, for questions about the bot or server rules or moderation, ask for help in #moderator-support.

hidden mist
#

That's quite not what I asked, as what I was searching to use the following commands such as '?new' '?pnb'

gusty egret
#

This is the channel for help with Avrae. Not every command is available in every channel.

hidden mist
#

then where am I supposed to use the command? as I cannot locate any other command channel besides avrae. despite them being dyno commands? Should I go to Dbd general?

gusty egret
#

This is still not a channel for anything but help with Avrae.

hidden mist
empty linden
#

Correct but I was answering your question as best as I understood it. For questions about the server bot commands, best to ask for info in #moderator-support. As noted not all commands are available in all channels. And with that, let’s leave this channel open for Avrae questions.

I'm not seeing coordinates in the init tracker despite using the map alias. Seems like a recent change. Is there a way to reveal coordinates in the initiative with a command?

For alias help, you’ll probably get better answers on the Avrae dev server.

avrae won't recognize attacks from a homebrew creature

#

i've imported the bestiary i made in critterdb but avrae's init commands won't recognize the creature's attacks

viscid kernel
# 
!a longbow eadv
viscid kernel
wicked leaf
#

it shows up blank

#

even though there are actions in critterdb

viscid kernel
#

It will only import simple attacks by default.

wicked leaf
#

what does that mean

viscid kernel
#

i.e. a bonus to hit, and damage.

wicked leaf
#

i tried importing attacking with a shortsword

#

it still refused

viscid kernel
#

That shouuuld work. 🤔

#

Can you share a link to the character?

wicked leaf
wicked leaf
viscid kernel
#

Yeah, sorry.

#

The CritterDB link.

wicked leaf
wicked leaf
#

the only thing edited is for the ranged attack to be 1d6 instead of 1d4

viscid kernel
#

That miiiight be the reason its failing.

#

It might not be able to differentiate between which damage to use.

#

The automatic imports have to follow a pretty specific format.

#

So you could either try reducing it to a single damage, or write the automation yourself.

#

Alternatively, you could try to split it into two separate attacks...

wicked leaf
#

okay so i tried having a regular shortbow

#

still doesn't work

#

i cannot for the life of me figure out why this wouldn't work

viscid kernel
#

You did a !bestiary update after adding that?

wicked leaf
#

yep

viscid kernel
#

And did you !init madd a fresh version of that monster?

wicked leaf
#

o h

#

wait gimme a sec

wicked leaf
#

i can't believe i forgot the first rule of technology, if it doesn't wrok restart it, I'm so stupid I've been at this for the past hour HAHAHA

#

thank you so much

viscid kernel
#

lol

#

Does that mean the dagger works, too?

wicked leaf
#

wait i just did it with the shortbow

#

let me check

#

it works except it always uses the melee damage die

#

also can i ask what the -choice arg does

viscid kernel
#

Which shield you pick gives you different effects.

#

So the automation uses -choice to let you pick between them.

wicked leaf
#

so how would that work,
!attack fire shield -choice warm
or does it use numeric values like 1 and 2

viscid kernel
#

Well, it's a spell, so !cast "fire shield" -choice warm, probably.

wicked leaf
#

ah

#

thanks

viscid kernel
#

-choice just takes a string, so it could in theory be set to use numbers.

#

Or a string containing a number, anyway.

wicked leaf
#

so i can avoid*

viscid kernel
#

If you wanted to use -choice, you'd need to write the automation yourself.

wicked leaf
#

f

viscid kernel
#

The simplest solution is probably to split it into separate attacks.

wicked leaf
#

yep, I'll go do that

viscid kernel
#

Dagger (Melee) and Dagger (Ranged), for example.

wicked leaf
#

thanks for the help!

wicked leaf
#

when making an attack how does one go about using a player's stat mod for the bonus to hit

#

!attack add "Chained Daggers" -d 2d4 -b dex -verb "unleashes a flurry of"

#

this is what I have

viscid kernel
#

I added a damage type there, too.

lucid lichen

How do i make it so that a homebrew monster i just made is added as a usable monster in avrae?

Homebrew monsters can only be added through CritterDB.

#

Not possible, I'm afraid.

Quick question. Can you setup multiple campaigns in Discord using DDB and different characters so long as each campaign has its own channel within one server?

viscid kernel
#

I don’t think they even need separate channels.

minor fractal
#

Interesting. So Avre can distinguish between two separate campains in the same server?

viscid kernel
#

Yes

#

Each character is tied to a specific campaign, and each campaign is tied to a specific channel.

That’s all it really needs.

  • Have your DM link the campaign to a channel in Discord

How do I leave a thread under find a game?

empty linden
#

This channel is for help with Avrae - I think your question would be better suited actually for #moderator-support as it has to deal with (potentially) how the server's threads are set up. Usually you can just context-click (right-click) on a thread and select "Leave thread" to leave it.

teal tusk
#

I tried to delete and reinstall it.

empty linden
#

Avrae does not natively have or provide maps.
You can do one of two things:

  • Send an image via Discord text chat
  • Get the map alias from the workshop and use it to load a map backdrop and use the various commands to mark tokens on the map, and move the tokens turn by turn using Avrae. This can be a bit more complicated to run but provides a away for Avrae to show maps with tokens (and area of effects) overlayed.

hello, avrae rolls from DDB arent showing up to discord chat

#

its not connecting the campaign with the discord server

#

Also check the !ddb command.

The other thing to check is to make sure Avrae has the right permissions for the channel/server you want to use the DnDBeyond shared roll functionality in.

Using Slash Commands With Avrae

It looks like you're trying to use slash commands! Due to the complexity of certain Avrae commands, Avrae does not support Discord's slash command framework for every command. To use most of Avrae's commands, add a prefix before the command you want to use - like !roll 1d20.

Next Steps

To get started with Avrae, try out our interactive tutorials! You can list the available tutorials with !tutorial, and start one with !tutorial <name>. If it's your first time using Avrae, we recommend trying out the Quickstart tutorial with !tutorial quickstart! You can also view the full command list with !help.

Disabling Slash Command Suggestions

When using prefixed Avrae commands, you might see recommendations from Discord for other bots' slash commands. To disable these suggestions from Discord, right-click on your message bar, hover over "Suggestions", and make sure that "Slash Commands" is unchecked.

Correct. In that case I'd set that spell up as an action the creature has and maybe a limit

hollow jacinth
#

alright then, thanks a lot anyways ❤️

empty linden
#

I am not as familiar with bringing in homebrew creatures - sorry!

#

You could also just have the creature cast it without putting any features/actions in with the !cast <spellname> -i (i to ignore casting costs/spell slots)

#

Or I guess that would be !moncast

hollow jacinth
#

yeah but its a counterspell basically so she`ll take damage before i get to have her cast it

You can remove damage after it all.

Just listing the spell in the monster’s Spellcasting feature should be enough, assuming you’ve also added the spell itself to Avrae.

Using Slash Commands With Avrae

It looks like you're trying to use slash commands! Due to the complexity of certain Avrae commands, Avrae does not support Discord's slash command framework for every command. To use most of Avrae's commands, add a prefix before the command you want to use - like !roll 1d20.

Next Steps

To get started with Avrae, try out our interactive tutorials! You can list the available tutorials with !tutorial, and start one with !tutorial <name>. If it's your first time using Avrae, we recommend trying out the Quickstart tutorial with !tutorial quickstart! You can also view the full command list with !help.

Disabling Slash Command Suggestions

When using prefixed Avrae commands, you might see recommendations from Discord for other bots' slash commands. To disable these suggestions from Discord, right-click on your message bar, hover over "Suggestions", and make sure that "Slash Commands" is unchecked.

haven't used Avrae in forever, how do you do this?

#

A rules lookup? !spell <name of spell>

#

Well spell lookup in this case

#

See !help for more Avrae help

wet junco
#

!spell call lightning

#

!lookup spell call lightning

#

i really need to relearn Avrae, it's been too many months

empty linden
#

Try in #ddb-avrae-commands - this channel doesn't allow avrae calls as too many folks were cluttering it up

wet junco
#

and i don't mean rules, i mean how to activate it on your turn after the initial spell without using a spell slot in Avrae

empty linden
#

Ah... just recast it with the -i attribute to tell Avrae not to consume a spell slot.

#

So !cast "call lightning" for the first time (uses spell slot)
Then !cast "call lightning" -i the next time.

wet junco
#

thanks

empty linden
#

Wait... call lightning is a saving throw from the enemies or else they take full damage - success is half damage.
So really all you have to do is remember to do your 3d10 roll (halved for enemies who make the save).

wet junco
#

i mean in combat isn't it just !i cast call lightning -t "<target name>" -i -dc 17?

#

or wait, wouldn't Avrae auto calc the dc?

empty linden
#

Huh. Not sure. It might work?

vagrant gull
empty linden
#

Yes - just don't overly use it if that makes sense.
If you need to do lots of testing, we'd recommend setting up your own Discord server and invite Avrae there and test there.

viscid kernel
#

So you can simply !a "call lightning" for the subsequent rounds.

wet junco
#

thanks Spam

is there a list of drinks "!drink" has that can be pulled from?

That would be an alias, so you'd have to ask whoever wrote it.

#

Is it possible to do a "blind roll" with Avrae, like in Foundry?

e.g. Player rolls but only GM can see result

empty linden
#

So if you've connected Avrae to your DnDBeyond campaign, you can set up your rolls on DnDBeyond to only show to the DM and the player that rolled it.

#

Otherwise, create a "secret rolls" channel and have players roll there for only the DM and player rolling at that time to view. But that requires players to do the right thing and not peak.

#

But really, this is D&D and it's a social game and having the rolls in the open is typical.

Can someone show me how to homebrew a spell so it works with avrae

viscid kernel
#

What have you got so far? Where are you stuck?

outer notch
# viscid kernel What have you got so far? Where are you stuck?

I think i'm working with the same thing as @compact cobalt

So far: I have a homebrew spell, published, called 'The Works'

I see it in my character sheet on DDB.

I've run '!update' on the server the char is in.

I try '!cast The Works' and the first time it tries casting 'Toll The Dead'

The second time after !update it asks what I want to cast and presents with a list which is far incomplete from what my char has, but it's all healing based spells.

viscid kernel
compact cobalt
# viscid kernel What have you got so far? Where are you stuck?

This is what happens when i try to castA blast of lacerating wind in a line 100ft long and 5ft wide blast out from you in a dicertion you choose. Each creature in that line must make a constitution saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 cold damage 3d6 slashing damage on a failed save and if they are a large or smaller creature is pushed to the nearest unoccupied open space at the opposite of the line to the caster. On a successful save creature takes half as much damage and is not pushed.

#

No spell automation found.

viscid kernel
outer notch
viscid kernel
#

You’ll have to manually re-enter it in Avrae. There is no export option from DDB.

@viscid kernel you still around ? :D We're getting this far. My spell is working. The 'Copy of Cone of Cold based on this nifty homebrew' is not.

Which commands are shown there? !tome list and !cast BitingCold2?

outer notch
#

!tome list

viscid kernel
outer notch
#

This is the result of !tome list

image.png
viscid kernel
#

So it looks like you’ve got it set up to cast.

#

If you want to take it further, you can add automation to it as well.

#

If you open the spell on the website, there should be a tab that says Automation.

#

That’s how spells (and actions) roll dice and effect targets and such.

outer notch
#

Yeah; and on the site I copied Cone of Cold to get the automation framework.

#

aaand it's not letting me cast it.

#

Error in roll: Unexpected input on line 1, col 11: expected $END, got ,

#

Okay, that I managed to fix by reducing the split on damage type...

Now, how to tweak it so it's 3d6 cold and 3d6 slashing ?

viscid kernel
#

3d6 [cold] + 3d6 [slashing]

#

Whenever I control a monster in a fight (I’m a DM), do I always have to add !i to every attack in front of the every action I’d like to do as a mob in controlling?

viscid kernel
#

Yes

#

!init attack controls whoever’s turn it is.

#

!attack controls your active character (which a DM doesn’t typically have).

empty bronze
#

Also about the spells… if the enemy is like a magician (the monster), I can use any spell available from the DnD?

empty linden
#

Yes - !cast or !init cast to cast spells. Use the -l 7 addition to cast at a specific level (the number being the spell level). And use -i to not use a spell slot when casting. See !help cast to learn more.

viscid kernel
empty bronze
viscid kernel
#

Yep

#

Just like if you had a physical book with that statblock. You’d still need access to the details of the spell itself, probably from another book.

How would you input a weapon name in [square brackets] like you do with [name]? I have a little to no knowledge about this one, so please advise?

viscid kernel
#

Those brackets simply indicate that the argument is optional. You don’t include them when using the command.

#

So you’d just !attack longsword, for example.

#

It will also partial match, so !a longs is probably enough.

#

If the name has multiple words, you’ll need quotes around it, though.

#

!a "flame tongue"

Any eldritch tech/wizzard in here to help out with a mean Avrae bot ? 🙂

empty linden
empty linden
grizzled path
#

I wil check also on their discord too. Thx.

empty linden
#

Likely not related as they are separate services - also sometimes Discord’s API can get flakey and break things. You may try unlinking and relinking the campaign in Avrae again and see if that helps.

grizzled path
#

Did that, did it with the characters too to no success. I also tried by kicking out Avrae from the discord and inviting it back, there again, no success.

empty linden
#

Very weird - I’d check with folks on the development server.

grizzled path
#

Okay more intel. I did transfert the campaign to complete other discord server and it worked.

#

Back to our regular server, no rolls. Maybe something is askew on the roles .. I will compare the two servers settings.

grizzled path
#

nope. nothing different on the commons settings.

empty linden
#

And all the server roles and permissions are configured correctly to allow Avrae to post in those channels?

#

I’m stumped.

grizzled path
#

yep. On their discord server we are mulling over but I am not alone in this situation. Anyhow, they plan to restrart Avrae tomorow at 2:00PM eastern will see then.

vagrant gull
#

Is there a way to make sure a check can't be higher than a certain number?

I don’t believe so. You can set a minimum (because there are rules where that happens) but not a maximum (because there are no such rules).

vagrant gull
#

Question: can you still use a character in avrae even if the sheet was deleted in, let's say dndbeyond?

empty linden
#

As long as that character hasn't been removed in Avare, it should still work I believe. One issue that might pop up is DDB campaign dice rolling and the !update command would be a problem.

#

Best not to delete the DnDBeyond character really.

vagrant gull
empty linden
#

Campaign dice rolling? Quite a few folks use it as it's nice to have a way for folks who aren't as familiar with Avrae be able to click on their DnDBeyond sheet and have that roll shown on both the shared dice log and inside Discord.

vagrant gull
#

Ah

#

Well i basically don't use that, like, at all, so I'm good on that front-

empty linden
#

Again it's not ideal to not have the Avrae character data connected to a formal character sheet (DnDBeyond, Dicecloud, or Google Sheet) but I think the Avrae character would still work.

vagrant gull
#

Be me:

  • doesn't really get that much money
  • doesn't know my way around dicecloud and gsheets so use dndbeyond instead
  • get too many character ideas than what dndbeyond can have for free
#

Idc if it ain't ideal, if it's possible, I'm using it

Is there a way to add an ability's modifier to smth's damage in a way so that the number is synced up to the ability mod without you actually needing to type that number in?

still panther
#

I'm using Gsheets. How would I go about adding in my Wildfire Druid's pet attacks? The initial summoning is a dex save 2d6 fire damage, and then the pet makes spell attacks with my bonus action

#

It also forces dex saves with its teleport to deal damage as well on my bonus actions

viscid kernel
#

If you have access to that subclass on D&D Beyond (and linked your accounts), you just need add a feature called “Summon Wildfire Spirit”.

#

Otherwise, you’d be better off making the attacks directly in Avrae instead.

vagrant gull
still panther
#

It rolls the damage for each target

viscid kernel
vagrant gull
viscid kernel
#

Yes, that was intentional.

vagrant gull
#

person needing assistance says they are using gsheets, not dndbeyond
you mention dndbeyond, not gsheets
you say they were instructions for gsheets
you said it was intentional
????

viscid kernel
#

If you want to use the official automation — regardless of what sheet type you’re using — you need access on D&D Beyond to the thing being automated.

#

In this case: the Circle of Wildfire subclass.

vagrant gull
viscid kernel
#

It’s the only way to verify whether a user has legal access to the content.

#

Anyway… for GSheet specifically, you can add simple attacks directly to the sheet.

#

For anything more complicated, you’d need to write the automation yourself.

viscid kernel
still panther
#

I tried it out and it works, yeah. It's very neat

viscid kernel
#

The easiest way to do that is through the Avrae dashboard, linked above.

still panther
#

Any way I can set variables like my profeciency bonus or my spell save DC?

#

Right now I just have those as numbers

viscid kernel
#

If the line you’re adding them to shows {} at the end, you’ll need to add braces around it.

#

{proficiencyBonus}

viscid kernel
#

The subclass is only $2 anyway.

#

But if you’d rather spend time than money, everything the official automation does can be done by you. All the same tools are available.

sudden steeple
#

does anyone know how to roll a reckless attack with rage and GWM using avrae?

viscid kernel
#

Snippets would make it easier, though.

# 
!snippet reckless adv
!a battleaxe reckless
#

Then you just have to remember the name instead of the individual arguments.

#

You can also build on to it and add stuff like the rule description, or have it automatically calculate the right rage bonus.

sudden steeple
#

!snippet reckless adv
!snippet rage
!a halberd reckless

#

like this?

viscid kernel
#

You’d need to give some args to the second one.

#

!snippet rage -d 2

#

Or whatever your rage bonus is.

#

And then !a halberd reckless rage if you want to use both.

If it's in a DnDBeyond campaign you can check (and as DM can add/remove/modify) things there

I'm not sure if the DM can do that directly in Avrae though

I don't see a command for the DM to view a specified character sheet - you'll likely need your player to run the !sheet command so you can view things that way.

I added a custom counter. What’s the simplest way to decrement it? Avrae commands does not seem to have a mention of that and I’d expect sth like ‘!cc use <name>’

empty linden
#

!cc <counter name> -<amt>

rancid dragon

Thank you 🙏

Yeah I don't know

viscid kernel
#

It is. It’s the base command there.

#

That very first line in your screenshot.

#

![customcounter|cc] [name] [modifier]

rancid dragon
#

Oh~ so the modifier is the +1/-1 etc?

empty linden
#

Huh. I'd say that could be more clearly written or at least provide an example.

rancid dragon
#

I thought that the modifiers were the extra commands below or sth but now I understand

viscid kernel
#

You have to expand it to see the description.

Im taking part in a game and helping the DM set it up becuase they've never done a virtual one. In Avrae, to link a char I need to have my char set to public. (it gives me a warning if I don't use the shareable link). In this particular campaign, the DM doesnt want us to know eachothers stats, meaning our character sheets need to be set to private.

#

If we set our characters to public to link them into avrae, and then toggle them to private, wil that cause any update or compatibility issues?

viscid kernel
#

You can sync a private character if you’ve linked your DDB and Discord accounts.

#

!tutorial beyond can run you through the setup.

whole ruin
#

they are linked, but the shareable link doesn show up in DDB if the char is set to private.

#

Unless I am missing something. I will review the tutorial

viscid kernel
#

You don’t need the shareable link. Just copy whatever’s in your address bar.

whole ruin
#

easy. Thank you.

Hello! I am a DM and have a question. We use the bot on discord and D&DB. I have a player character who wants to use the spell Booming Blade. Since it is thunder damage on a successful hit, we were trying to see how to apply in one command. We did the normal attack roll and then did a cast. Is there a better way?

viscid kernel
#

As-is, yeah, you’d have to make a separate attack with whichever weapon you want to use.

#

You could write your own automation to combine them into one, of course.

#

Or add an alias for !multiline to run both commands together.

whole ruin
#

Is there a way to list the current conditions that a character has and/or when they are given to the player?

#

"conditions" and "status" just list them in general, they aren't directly associated with the character sheet.

viscid kernel
#

Effects are only tracked in initiative.

#

But !init status [name] will give you the details.

#

The same info that pops up at the start of their turn, anyway.

whole ruin
#

Hmm okay, as a semi related follow up. Why are initiative rolls from beyond not tracked when combat is started, but rather the players still have to init join?

#

Like you can roll for initiative from beyond, but you arent included into combat unless you init join

hushed lotus
#

because the initiative rolls on beyond go to the encounter builder, while Avrae's initiative tracking has always been separate.

viscid kernel
#

That’s not entirely accurate.

#

The rolls go to the Game Log, which is visible in the encounter builder and can also be displayed by Avrae.

#

I don’t really know why it doesn’t join automatically, but if you roll, say, a 15, then you can !i join -p 15

hushed lotus
#

lol.

viscid kernel
#

It’s true that the encounter builder and Avrae’s init tracking are separate.

#

It’s not true that the rolls are sent only to the encounter builder.

#

Avrae gets them too, if you’ve got things set up correctly.

#

And when Avrae has the roll itself, it’s conceivable that it could use that to add you to initiative — but it doesn’t.

#

I don’t know why.

whole ruin
#

Seems odd. But thank you.

whole ruin
#

I do have the rolls from beyond set up to display in avrae and the encounter builder, its just not super intuitive for the players and stuggling to figure out how/what will be displayed to them exactly as the group was going through combat.

#

I'm too tired for this right now.

hexed swallow
#

what do i do if my player has like a pet , how do i add that pet in an encounter so it can help my player ?

viscid kernel
#

What kind of pet?

hexed swallow
viscid kernel
#

!i madd cat

#

The same way you’d add any other monster.

hexed swallow
#

oh and what if i wanted to add an npc to the fight? is that even possible ?

viscid kernel
#

Again, it depends on what exactly you mean by NPC.

#

If you mean an official monster, with a statblock, then !i madd does the job.

#

If it’s a homebrew monster, you’d need to add it through CritterDB. See !help bestiary for more info.

#

And if you want to add just a generic combatant, !help i add can work, but it’s the most limited option.

hexed swallow
#

ight it helped alot TT thank you dndLove

hexed swallow
#

how do i add splash damage? for example my player cast ice knife and how do i add the explosion into the count ?

honest ermine
#

does anyone know which source books would be the best for player creation when using avrae?

If they shoot at Bob, but Jane and Tom are in the blast radius, then !cast "Ice Knife" -t Bob -t Jane -t Tom

Not in this case, no.

hexed swallow
#

oh rly ? dayum nice thank you. again TT

I cant set an active character, we have done !campaign and it linked the campaign, but it is just saying that I have no characters

viscid kernel
#

Did you !import your character?

#

!tutorial beyond can walk you through all the setup.

Hi I’m new to dnd

#

I need help creating a character sheet

viscid kernel
vocal topaz
#

So there is a site called critter db that lets you make homebrew critters and import it to avrae. Is there a site for homebrew items?

# pallid crypt So is there a command too trigger glyph of warding

No - looking at the spell through Avrae's Dashboard tools (Avrae.io and login to the dashboard using your Discord account) there is no automation for the spell as you can pick from two choices of effects, neither which have necessarily an immediate effect. So it's something that you have to determine:

    1. When does the spell get triggered?
    1. What is the effect of the glyph going off - e.g. explosion or casting a spell of the right level at a single target or an area
    1. How to resolve any damage or effects from the spell
#

Ultimately it's just easier for folks to manually figure that out and roll the needed things when it's triggered.
