But could add it to my character?

viscid kernel
#

There’s two versions of Mind Sliver: the one from TCOE that you added to your character, and the one from the 2024 PHB.

elder prawn
#

Ah

#

I'll double check I've loaded everything in right

viscid kernel
#

Since your character in Avrae is set to use the 2024 rules, it’s trying to run the latter, which you don’t have access to.

#

Try running !csettings version 2014 to switch.

#

Your DM can also change it to 2014 for your whole server in !servsettings

elder prawn
viscid kernel
#

Happy to help!

#

Just make sure your DM also runs !servsettings so you don’t hit the same problem there.

#

If the server is set to override you back to 2024 rules, it still won’t work there.

OK stupud question here.... I have some friends trying to link discord to their D&D Beyond account, but it keeps giving them both the same error. I don't remember exactly how I did it a couple years ago. What am I missing? They went to account on Beyond and clicked link discord, then it asks them to enter their discord login info. After that, it tells them incorrect email or password. Even though they can go to discord and use that same info to login to discord.

viscid kernel
#

Not sure. I’ve never heard of that happening before.

#

how does one do names for monsters? (like adding monsters with the !init madd)

#

my brain is kinda farting lol

empty linden
#

By default Avrae gives them a two letter identifier and a number (like goblins will be GO so the first goblin will be GO1).

#

You add them to initiative as you noted via !i madd <name of monster>

lavish night
#

yeah ik, just asking for custom names as GO1 and what not isnt what i want lol

empty linden
#

Oh how to give them custom names?

#

Let me look it up real quick

lavish night
#

yeah sorry for being unclear

empty linden
#

No no, you're good

lavish night
#

ik you can do it with the other monster/creature adder (!init add <modifier> <name>), but thats alot of things i gotta add to make it work

empty linden
#

So the options for a creature in initiative is under the opt subcommand.
So you'd use !i opt <name of creature in initiative> -name <new name>

lavish night
#

ah

#

fair enough

#

thanks

empty linden
#

You can also use the opt subcommand to tweak creatures as well (adjust HP, give/remove vulnerabilities, adjust AC, etc.)

#

Use !help init opt to learn more

lavish night
#

yeah i did do that command trying to figue it out but missed it or did the !help init add command and it didnt show

#

either way it works now, abit slow but eh, its fine

empty linden
#

Avrae will direct message you when using !help - but also maybe you asked when Avrae was being update/refreshed so nothing got returned.

lavish night
#

thanks very much

im making graviturgy wizard on dnd beyond for 2024. How would i make a concentration feature on there so avrae would recognize it? (Graviturgy wizard's lvl 14 Event Horizon)

#

not sure if thats worded properly

viscid kernel
#

Or probably even just !a event

woeful zephyr
#

Adjust density doesn't, violent attraction doesn't, and event horizon doesnt

viscid kernel
woeful zephyr
viscid kernel
#

To get started, you can mouse over your character and click the wrench that appears.

#

If you add an Event Horizon action there, then you’d be able to call it with !a event as you would for any built-in action.

#

For concentration specifically, you’ll want to target yourself (i.e. “caster”), then add an Initiative Effect that has “Requires concentration” checked.

woeful zephyr
empty linden
#

Make two different versions the user can pick

#

Kind of how a longsword attack has two attacks - one for one handed and one for two handed.

viscid kernel
#

That’s the easier option, yeah.

#

There’s also a -choice arg that could be used if you want an all-in-one solution.

woeful zephyr
viscid kernel
#

There’s a runtime variable called choice that you can use in your automation.

#

So if someone used !a "adjust density" -choice halve, then in your automation, choice would give you 'halve'.

#

So you can use a branch node to check if choice === 'halve'.

Cloud-Based Service Outages Affecting D&D Beyond

Hey all, as you've likely seen, D&D Beyond is currently being affected by the cloud-based service outages affecting many other sites.

We are monitoring the situation and doing what we can from our side to help expedite this being resolved, however it is currently not something we have direct control over. We are already starting to see things returning to normal with some service providers, though it may take up to 24 hours for all providers DNS servers to correct the issue.

hot imp
#

So if I’m a barbarian and I rage with frenzy and I have the savage attack feat do I type
“!a greataxe -t <enemy> frenzy savage attack”?

ebon rain
#

Am I able to look up my homebrew items with Avrae? If my Beyond acc is connected?

dim trout

#

Heya! Is it possible to make it so that clicking buttons on a D&DBeyond Character sheet will automatically generate avrae commands? I'm joining a PbP server and I'm hoping to still be able to use my D&DBeyond character sheet for more than just linking the data

empty linden
#

Avrae can connect to a DnDBeyond campaign and share the dice rolls (created by character sheets, etc.) into Discord chat.

#

See !help campaign to learn more.

humble musk
empty linden
#

Are you the DM? If not you don't use that command

humble musk
#

Ah, I am not.

#

I'm just a player

empty linden
#

Instead you use the !import <url to your character sheet>

#

That imports that DnDBeyond character into Avrae.

humble musk
#

That's the question I'm trying to solve

empty linden
#

Yes - if the DM has used the !campaign command to connect Avrae to their DnDBeyond campaign. Then any DnDBeyond characters in that campaign should send their dice rolls into the channel that has had that !campaign command used on.

humble musk
#

Gotcha. I'll ask him if there's a designated channel for avrae outputs from D&DBeyond

viscid kernel
humble musk
# viscid kernel Use the link for the campaign page itself, not the campaign invite link.

I'll give that a shot. However, I don't think they have it setup, since this server is a West Marches server with more than a dozen separate questing channels. I asked and they said they don't have this setup due to the micromanaging that would be involved to change where everyone's exported DDB rolls go.

It makes me curious if a command could be made to post D&DBeyond rolls to the channel you typed that command in last? I.E. if you're questing in room 1, go to #pbp-ooc-1, type !DDBInt, and now any rolls you make on your D&DBeyond sheet, are pasted there

humble musk
#

(I suggested this on the Avrae server, it sounds like it's not possible due to D&DBeyond tightly linking to a specific campaign, rather than a specific character, thus not giving enough data to differentiate where character rolls go)

2024 Automation Updates

Heya, Avrae users! Today we pushed out a bunch of fixes, updates, and additions for automations that were included with the recent books, from the 2024 Player's Handbook and on. You may have already seen these reflected in Avrae, but we're putting the full list here for you to see.

If you're on the server already, check out the thread below for a full list of changes! (There are so many that I cannot fit them into a single announcement!) If you're not on the Avrae Development server yet and curious to see all the cool changes that our developers have been working to implement, come join us to view the list. Thanks for your patience while we worked on collecting and resolving these issues!

Update:
Hello, everyone! As an update to the above, it seems that there are some issues regarding Avrae properly recognizing the changes made and ensuring they are accessible to everyone. The development team is taking some time to look over what could have gone wrong to ensure that these changes are properly ingested so as to ensure that Avrae behaves as expected. Thanks for your patience!

My friend’s rolls aren’t showing up in a discord with the Avrae bot linked. We have tried updating his character, re-connecting his account, and even checked to see if both apps were updated. He is apart of this server and I don’t have any other ideas on how to help him with it

Heya, I'm one of the mods from over on the Avrae server. Could you try a few things for me?

  • Try to join again without changing anything, maybe it was a Discord issue.
  • If you have a phone number linked to your account, remove it and try again, re-linking the phone number after successfully joining.
    If you still can't join, let me know. I've never seen this issue happen before, but I'm going to try and see what could be causing it. Thanks for your patience!

Hello, all!

We'll be restarting Avrae for debugging the issue with the missing automations from the last update. We don't expect any interruption to service but it's possible that the bot may be unavailable for up to 15 minutes. Thanks for your patience! This post will be updated when work is complete.

Update: The automation updates have been reloaded and are ready for testing! If you spot any issues, please report them in #795768989729030165.

I've noticed a fault with the Weapon Mastery "Graze" Feature through Avrae.

When a Barbarian is raging and misses with a Graze Weapon.. the Graze action adds the Rage damage. Which according to how Graze is written, it shouldn't.

Wizards is going to Gen Con!

Hello everyone!

Next week, Wizards of the Coast will be headed to Gen Con to participate in the Best Four Days in Gaming™, including some members of the team working on Avrae. Therefore,** we will not be delivering updates on Avrae next week or the week after** as we take some time to recover from the convention. We will be back with updates during the week of August 11th.

If any of you will be at Gen Con, come and visit the D&D Product Showcase or the D&D Beyond booth at Lucas Oil Stadium! We'll also have games and learn to play events going on all weekend, as well as a chance to see upcoming products for the first time! You can learn about our weekend events in this D&D Beyond article.

Hope to see you there!

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.

true bay
viscid kernel
#

I'm guessing it's a content sharing issue, then.

#

The spell was likely being shared with you when you added it to your sheet, but is no longer being shared.

#

Which would explain why you can't view that link or use it in Avrae.

#

I'd recommend checking with your group to verify that:

  1. Content Sharing is still enabled for that campaign.
  2. The person who enabled it still has an active subscription
  3. Someone in the group has purchased that book.
true bay
viscid kernel
#

Right, but you won’t be able to use the automation in Avrae if you don’t have access to the spell itself, regardless of whether the spell exists on your character.

#

If you can’t view the spell link above, you can’t use it in Avrae.

#

You’ll need to either purchase XGTE to get access to that spell, or work with your group to figure out what happened with Content Sharing.

How do you use a classfeat on avrae?

viscid kernel
#

Anything with built-in automation would typically show up in !a list, and then you can use it with !a [name].

fathom dawn
#

I have 3 characters on my avrae dashboard that I don't use anymore on DND beyond. How do I remove them just curious?

viscid kernel
#

!char delete <name>

fathom dawn
# viscid kernel `!char delete <name>`

Thank you so as I said i don't have them on DND beyond anymore but I just checked avrae there are still there. So I input this command somewhere and if should remove them, yes ?

viscid kernel
#

Yep

#

If you want to remove a character from Avrae, that’s the command to do so.

fathom dawn
#

Thank you I will msg here if I am stuck

#

I don't see where to enter the command

#

I'm in the characters tab

#

I see my 3 characters

#

In each of them I see the view character Which takes me to DND beyond and the edit attack options

Boon of Recovery

  • Added -amt support to Glory Paladin's Glorious Defense so that damage can be reduced similar to the Shield spell automation

Ranger

  • 2024 Ranger’s level 10 Tireless “Temporary Hit Points” action renamed to “Tireless”: Temporary Hit Points”. You will need to update your Ranger’s character sheet with !update to see the actions.

Rogue

  • Consolidated 2024 Soul Knife attacks. Soulknife Rogue’s Psychic Blades have been consolidated into 2 automations (1 action, 1 bonus action). You can choose to use your Strength or Dexterity modifier by using -choice <strength|dexterity>, if not specified, the higher of the two is used. You will need to update your Rogues’s character sheet with !update to see the updates.
  • Assassin Rogue’s Sneak Attack: Poison (Envenom) now properly ignores poison resistance.

Sorcerer

  • 2024 Sorcerer Metamagic fixed. The Sorcerer’s Metamagic options now show up and consume Sorcery Points. You will need to update your Sorcerer’s character sheet with !update to see the actions.
  • 2024 Wild Magic Surge fixed. The Wild Magic Surge action no longer throws an error and no longer applies all possible effects to the caster.

Hi, Avrae is no longer showing rolls dice on my discord server in one of my channels
works fine with an other channel + other character
i already tried to delete and reimport the campaign, same thing for the character i use, one of my players can't show rolls either anymore
did the update earlier changed something resulting in this ? is there something else i should try to fix this ?

#

i also tried to reinvite avrae

#

i can see avrae trying to write in discord when the die is rolled, but it doesn't post anything

#

it has all rights needed in the channels to post

#

you can see the campaign and ddb are setup, and i show u on short video when i roll a character sheet, avrae tries to write but nothing happen

image.png image.png
#

and it works perfectly fine with an other campaign in an other channel

#

i tried to move the campaign in an other channel which was working in this one for an other campaign, and it doesn't work either

#

as if the problem was coming from the campaign itself

#

and if i move a character to an other campaign the roll shows up properly

viscid kernel

v4.2.68

Bug Fixes

  • Reverted "Fixed attack bonus parsing for expressions with multiple bonus variables" as it is causing unexpected issues with < and > in formulas.
floral pagoda
#

Does anyone know what this means

IMG_3292.png
empty linden
#

It means you did something with your Google sheet that changed an expected field so now Avrae can't use it.
When using a Google sheet character sheet with Avrae, it is essential that you do not move or remove the fields from the way the sheet was provided.

modest comet
#

hihi!

#

How do you remove a spellcast effect from a character, like favor of the divine?

viscid kernel
#

If you wanted to remove it from Bob, then !i re Bob "favor of the divine"

#

!i re bob favor would work, too, if there's just one match. Otherwise it'll prompt you to choose.

Hello, all! Here is your weekly update on new Avrae features/content releases, automation updates, and bug fixes. Please report any issues you see with these updates in the #795768989729030165 channel of the Avrae server!

sage jacinth
#

is someone available to help me with customer actions / counter for the blood fury tattoo?

#

trying to set up one for the heal where I can put in -amt X

viscid kernel
#

Why would you use -amt here?

#

Shouldn’t it just heal based on the damage dealt?

sage jacinth
#

is there a way to do the damage and heal all in the same thing?

#

I was thinking I would need two different custom actions

viscid kernel
#

Nah, you can do it all in one.

sage jacinth
#

awesome

#

any chance you can walk me through how to do that?

viscid kernel
#

Just hover over your character and click the wrench that appears.

#

Then create a new attack, and set the Effect Tree to something like this:

  • Use Counter
  • Target
    • Damage
  • Target
    • Damage
  • Text
sage jacinth
#

cool, got that done

viscid kernel
#

Now click on Use Counter and it’ll open on the right.

#

Put in the name of your counter, set it to 1 use, and set the Error Behavior to “Stop Execution”.

#

That last part with prevent it from running if you don’t have any uses left.

sage jacinth
#

cool, done

viscid kernel
#

The first Target you can leave as-is.

#

For the first Damage, put 4d6 [necrotic]

#

For the second Target, switch it to caster.

#

Caster always refers to the creature running the effect.

#

For the second Damage, put -{lastDamage} [heal]

sage jacinth
#

aha

#

didnt know you could do that

viscid kernel
#

And then for Text, just copy and paste that bullet point from the item.

sage jacinth
#

awesome, thank you for the help!

viscid kernel
#

I’d also open the Advanced Options at the top.

#

Change “attacks with” to “uses”.

#

You may want to check the box for Proper Noun, depending on the name.

#

And I’d set Action Type to Special.

#

Then all you gotta do is save it and give it a try!

sage jacinth
#

fantastic, thank you so much!

what is Avrae?

empty linden
#

Avrae is a Discord bot that can help folks play D&D.
It includes dice rolling, lookup from DnDBeyond, importing characters from DnDBeyond (and some other approved character sheet sources), can run initiative, and has aliases which is a way to provide custom commands/features not provided by core Avrae commands.

fathom dawn
#

I'm so interested in the new features of avrae yet I'm intimidated in the sense that I don't know where to begin, whether it's aliases, snippets, user made commands.

viscid kernel
#

Those have all been around for years. I wouldn’t call them “new”.

#

But starting on the easy end: what Avrae command do you use the most?

#

Or what’s a more complicated one that you use often or have trouble remembering?

fathom dawn
#

I know the core ones
!g lr… !g sr, !cc.. attack with adv or dis, death saves. Some others, like the casting a spell and putting - i at the end so it doesn't take a spell slot. Are the ones I remember at the moment. I'm sure there are more

native galeBOT
#

@Changelog Follower
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v4.2.69

Some small but useful new changes added this week.

New Features

  • Specific save bonuses can now be added to anywhere -sb is accepted by 1drturtle
    • For example, giving +1d4 to dex saves would be -sb 1d4|dex
  • Added capital aliases to !g hp and !i hp for mobile accessibility by @Dusk-Argentum

Improvements

  • Casting a spell now displays its range by cclypeatus (with additional fix by 1drturtle)
fathom dawn
#

I also know that !sb shows the spells for spell casters

empty linden
#

Yeah that's short for spellbook

fathom dawn
#

yeah so my avrae knowledge is limited

#

so with these other features will be new for me

viscid kernel
#

At their simplest, aliases and snippets are just shortcuts for official commands (aliases) and arguments (snippets).

#

Say you’re a Rogue making a sneak attack with your dagger.

!a dagger -b 2d6
#

If you don’t want to have to keep remembering how much sneak attack damage you do, you can make a snippet.

!snippet sneak -b 2d6
#

And then use that snippet when you attack instead.

!a dagger sneak
fathom dawn
#

Oh thank you for the explanation and clarification

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.

I currently have this bot in my server however I am having trouble with the dnd beyond interface.

gusty egret
#

What issue, and was it functioning previously?

rocky gull
#

Hello! Need some assistance when someone has a chance

#

Does the person who runs the world have to give characters? Or can anyone just load it in after typing !character link

viscid kernel
rocky gull
#

Okay! And they need it to be public too right

#

Is there any specific settings they need?

viscid kernel
#

If they're using a D&D Beyond character sheet, then either the sheet needs to be public or the player needs to link their DDB and Discord accounts (which they'll probably want to do anyway).

#

They can use !ddb to confirm their accounts are linked or get instructions if they aren't.

wicked geyser
# gusty egret What issue, and was it functioning previously?

The dice rolling seems to work however the character sheet is not (seems like) it is not fully functional. I can use the import function however, thre is no character sheet preview and when I use a command such as rolling for slight of hand the roll doesnt pull from my character sheet

#

How do I ensure my character sheet is public?

#

found it. Mine is public

empty linden
#

Was that using the !check perception command?
Have you ran the !update command recently to make sure Avrae has the latest from your DnDBeyond sheet?

rocky gull
#

How do I delete my char? Isn’t I
!char del Sinbad

#

!char

viscid kernel
#

!char delete Sinbad

rocky gull
#

I did😭😭😭

#

Idk I just had to type it fully out. Thank you 🙏🏾 @viscid kernel

wicked geyser
#

Okay well all seems to be going good now except When my players roll via DDB the roll appears in my mod channel and not where they imported their character sheet

viscid kernel
#

It goes to whatever channel you linked it to when you used !campaign.

#

If you want to change the channel it’s linked to, you’ll need to run that command again in that channel instead.

wicked geyser
#

thank you

viscid kernel
#

@elder quiver Does that mean the spell is correctly showing in DDB, just not in Avrae?

elder quiver
viscid kernel
#

And !ddb?

#

Can you share a link to your DDB character sheet as well?

#

Make sure in your character settings that "Character Privacy" is set to "Public," too, please.

elder quiver
viscid kernel
#

That's very weird... dndThink

#

You've definitely got everything set up correctly on your end.

#

I'd suggest asking for help over on the Avrae dev server. They should be able to take a closer look.

is it possible to roll stats for a character with the added instruction to keep rerolling 1s until there aren't any left?

If you're using the built-in !rollstats, you can customize that as well.

  2. Click "Custom Stat Roll Settings"
  3. Click "Set Dice"

Can you explain a bit more? What feature are you trying to account for?

Is this common for Avrae to roll this bad? These are D20 rolls by the way.

8 rolls isn’t nearly a large enough sample to make any meaningful statistical analysis.

#

Try a billion rolls. ☝️

white whale
#

Yes, in my average game of Discord DnD I will roll 1,000,000,000 rolls to average decently i’m sure

#

Thank you

bitter bluff
#

Mathematically speaking, yes. With only a few rolls you don't get a great snapshot but the more you roll the more you should see the average get closer to 10 or 11.

Heyo 👋 My players have unlinked and relinked their Discord accounts from Beyond, but still can't lookup 2024 spells in our server. They are able to look up 2024 versions of classes and feats though, so it shouldn't be an issue of not having access to content through the Beyond campaign. Is it possible that there are some settings in the server or on the individuals' ends preventing them from finding 2024's spells? I doubt it's something to do with the server though since I can look it up just fine

viscid kernel
#

Or you can use !servsettings

  1. Set “5e Rules Version” to 2024.
  2. Set “Allow Character Override” to False.

hey there! I am not sure if this is the right channel, but Avrae rolls from D&D beyond is not working properly. its not showing up in discord. It says that it is typing but doesn't actually post anything in the channel. The campaign is connected and everything but it is still not showing up

Make sure Avrae has the permissions needed, and that you aren't using any extensions that can interfere. Otherwise you'll get more help on the official Avrae server.

yes! it has the permissions and I have it listed as a admin...not sure what is going on :/ i'll go to the discord!! thank you!

There is a way to add homebrew to avrae, but I personally am unfamiliar with the specific steps

@Changelog Follower
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v4.2.73

Today we launched a fixed to !init shuffle as well as an optional new way to make selections in Avrae.

What's Changed

  • Updated !init shuffle to take ieffects into account by vaguely-happy and 7he4lph4 #2225
  • Added an option to use interactive button selection across all selection menus by 7he4lph4 #2199

Button Selection
This new feature, if enabled, will allow you to use buttons rather than text input when you get interface. This is especially useful for DMs adding monsters to initiative as the buttons can be clicked in the DM sent by Avrae.
You can enable this feature on your server in !servsettings → Lookup Settings → Toggle Button Selections.
Known Issue: It's been reported an confirmed that some users are receiving the This interaction failed error when making a selection in a DM. We are looking into this. If you come across this error you may still make your selection by inputing the number as text (the good old fashioned way)

Upcoming Discord Permission Change - Action May Be Required

Hey, all! Wizards will be dark for the Thanksgiving holiday, so there will be no updates this week, BUT we wanted to make everyone aware of some upcoming Discord changes that may affect Avrae. We'll be reminding everyone again closer to this actual implementation date.

Everyone take care and we'll see you next week!

What Are The Changes?

Discord is splitting the PIN_MESSAGES permission out of MANAGE_MESSAGES (read the changelog) . Starting February 23, 2026, Avrae will need this new permission to pin initiative summaries.

What this affects:

When you start combat with !init begin, Avrae pins a summary message showing turn order, health, and effects. Without the new permission, combat will still work normally, but the summary won't be pinned. You'll need to scroll up to find it.

What You Need To Do:

If Avrae was added to your server before this change, you'll need to either:

  1. Re-invite Avrae using the official invite link, OR
  2. Manually add the "Pin Messages" permission to Avrae's role in your server settings.

New servers that invite Avrae after we update the application settings won't need to do anything.

Planned Maintenance
Hi everyone! We’ll be performing infrastructure maintenance today from <t:1765216800:t>–<t:1765220400:t>.
This affects all Avrae services, including the Avrae bot, Taine, and Avrae.io. During this window, the bot and site may be temporarily unavailable or unstable.
We’ll post an update once it’s complete.

late elmBOT
#

We've finished maintenance for the day. Thanks for your patience!

lilac jetty
#

Hey i hope this message finds the right person.

With the new Artificer subclass Cartographer: level 3 feature Create Magical Maps there’s a command problem when running “!cc create -#” where it’ll instead create a new cc with that number.

“Map” and “Magic” are also used for other CCs so you can’t reliably use those words.

Not sure if this can be fixed. The only other way around it that I know is typing the whole “Create Magic Maps”

viscid kernel
#

If you're using D&D Beyond for your character sheet, it should add that CC automatically.

#

Otherwise, you're not using the correct format for that command.

# 
!cc create "Create Magical Maps" -reset long -min 0 -max {{1+intelligenceMod}} -type bubble
lilac jetty
#

Like doing

!cc Create -1

That’s how I ran into the problem of it instead creating a new CC titled “-1”

viscid kernel
#

Ahhh, I gotcha.

#

!cc create is a command that creates a CC.

#

If you just want to subtract a use, you’ll need something like !cc "Create Mag" -1

#

You could also set up a simple alias to make that one easier.

lilac jetty
#

That’ll have to do yeah. I’ve never made an alias so I’ll just stick to using quotation marks lol

viscid kernel
# 
!alias map cc "Create Magical Map"
!map -1
lilac jetty
#

Oh it’s that simple? Cool

#

Thank you so much for your aid!!

viscid kernel
#

Yeah, you just give a name (like map) and then whatever command you want that alias to run (like cc "Create Magical Map").

#

Any args used in the alias get added to the final command.

#

So !map -1 translates to !cc "Create Magical Map" -1.

lilac jetty
#

If I’m in combat with a map command will that mess me up?

viscid kernel
#

If you're already using another alias called map, then yeah, you'll probably want to give this one a different name.

lilac jetty
#

Cool cool thank you 🙏

Announcement - Code Freeze and Holiday Schedule 🎄

Hey everyone! As we at Wizards are preparing to spend the winter holidays with our friends and loved ones, we wanted to give you all a heads up that we will be going through a Code Freeze from tomorrow, <t:1766007900:D> until <t:1767649500:D>.

What Does This Mean?

Basically this means that no new features will be deployed during this time, so you won't see Community Updates from me for a few weeks. This also means that you'll see less WOTC staff around as we go dark for the holidays.

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday doing exactly what it is you'd like to be doing. (I personally will be playing the Expedition 33 DLC.) We will be back in business from January 5th onward! See you then, and Happy Holidays!

How do I use legacy spells with Avrae?

It keeps using new spells instead

empty linden

Set your settings to prefer/use legacy spells

small loom
#

How do I do this?

#

And can this be done per/charcater or will I need to keep changing my settings?

empty linden
#

Actually it may be a server setting - give me a sec to double check

#

Okay so on the server, assuming you are Admin, DM or Dragon Speaker role, run !server_settings and then configure your server to use 2014 rules lookup and prefer legacy content.

#

Then in your character sheets, make sure to only use 2014 base characters and legacy content.

#

At this time I don't think so. But you could always check with the developers on Avrae.io

The server settings only sets a default for characters newly-imported in that server.

Thanks Spam!

Unless the server is also set to enforce a version.

or is this some sorta bug

They would need to make the characters inside the campaign that is sharing the content to be able to use it on their character sheets and thus usable in Avrae.

They can run !ddb to confirm or get instructions.

Hi! Is there a way to modify sneak attack to reduce the damage by 1d6 when a rogue uses their Cunning Strike to Withdraw or Poison?

🚧 Extended D&D Beyond Maintenance Planned 🚧

D&D Beyond will undergo an extended maintenance period <t:1768899600:F> that is expected to last about six hours. This maintenance will include optimizations to reduce site latency during high-traffic periods.

This will be a full outage—D&D Beyond, the D&D Beyond Marketplace, and the D&D Beyond mobile app will be unavailable for the duration of the outage. Avrae, the D&D Beyond Discord Bot, will still work as normal, but players will not be able to import new characters or run the !update command on imported DDB characters.

For updates on this maintenance, visit the D&D Beyond status page.

We thank you in advance for your patience as we work to improve the D&D Beyond site experience for you!

Happy New Year! Avrae Updates!

Happy Friday, Avrae aficionados, and Happy New Year! (Yes, I know we’re six days into February, shhh)

January can be busy for us coming back to work after the holidays, which usually results in us going fully heads down while we catch up and try to remember how D&D works, so I apologize for our silence while we did just that.

As some of you might know, there are new hands touching the Avrae beacon this year, so I would like to introduce Daniel and Zac to everyone, in their own words:

@__greyhame (DDB Software Development Manager): Hey everyone! I’m Daniel, the Manager of the Maps and Avrae teams. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing board games, mountain biking, and of course, D&D. I’m excited to be here and looking forward to getting to know you all. Thanks in advance for your patience as I get up to speed on all things Avrae!

@WOTC_Zac (DDB Product Manager, Maps VTT): I've been playing D&D for 20 years, and it's a great honor and responsibility to be in this position. Avrae is an incredible tool, with an incredible community powering it. Daniel and I are, admittedly, newcomers to Avrae. Our role here is to help shepherd Avrae along, ensure things keep running smoothly for you, and ensure the Avrae community can keep doing what it's been so successful at doing all these years.

Welcome Daniel and Zac! 🎉 Please give them your patience and support as they get acclimated to the Avrae server and our beloved bot.

Changes to the Avrae Update Cadence

To that note, the update cadence is going to change a bit going forward. Instead of weekly updates, they will be spaced out to bi-weekly (that’s one every two weeks, but I don’t think ‘bi-weekly’ suffers from the same confusion that ‘bi-monthly’ does), and the first one for the year will be next week, so we'll see you then!

New Features

Bug Fixes / Automation Updates

  • Fixed issue with deleting aliases. Upgrading to Python 3.12 allowed for newlines in alias creation, which broke alias deletion.
  • Fixed automation issues:
    • Wastrilith is missing Corrupt Water trait
    • Ghost Dragon cannot recharge its Breath attack
    • Ice Devil from MM-2024 cannot cast their spell Ice Wall / Wall of Ice
    • MM-2024 Banshee's Deathly Wail should only drop a target to 0hp if they are below 25hp and do 3d6 otherwise. Currently the automation checks only the first target's hp: targets[0].hp <= 25
    • Ancient Magnetite Dragon (HGtMH)'s Storm of Swords should have one set of damage dice for all targets. Currently has one set of damage dice for each target.
    • The Tarkanan Marauder has Disengage in it's spellbook instead of Disintegrate
    • MM-2024 Tiger "rend" attack applies the prone effect on miss.
    • MM-2024 Dire Wolf "Bite" attack applies the prone effect on miss.
    • The Ghost Dragon (FToD) is missing a button to recharge it's Breath attack. Also missing buttons to resist the fear/paralysis on the targets
    • Wastrilith (MPMM) does not have an action for its Corrupt Water trait.
    • The Crystal Dragon (FToD) is missing a button to recharge its Breath attack

Hey everyone. WOTC_Zac here, the new PM for Avrae. We have a bit of a content automation backlog we're working through, and I want to make sure we're prioritizing the most valuable and in-demand things first. So what better way to prioritize than to just ask y'all directly.

Below is the (non-user submitted) content automations still in our backlog, and how many items are included in each.

** Feats**

  • 🌙 The Crookeed Moon Part One Player Options (12)
  • 🔫 The Gunslinger Class Valdas Spire of Secrets (2)
  • 😭 Grim Hollow Player's Guide (27)
  • 🧛 Astarion's Book of Hungers (17)
  • 🗼 Valda's Spire (4)

Classes

  • ❓ Misc with no distinct source (36)
  • 🫖 Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (78)
  • 💍 Lord of the Rings (87)
  • 🦭 Illrigger Revised (54)
  • 🛍️ Griffon's Saddlebag Book Two (177)
  • 🏹 Helianas Guide to Monster Hunting Part 1 (2)
  • 🌛 The Crookeed Moon Part One Player Options (200)
  • 😿 Grim Hollow Player's Guide (247)
  • 🏗️ Valda's Spire (6)

We're going to do a two-part emoji-poll here!

FIRST: Please emoji react to this message with 🏛️ if you want us to generally prioritize classes, or 🦶 if you want us to generally prioritize feats.

SECOND: Please emoji-react to this message with the emoji of any content you or your group would use.

Please have your votes in by Sunday the 22nd, as we'll be incorporating the results as we kick off next week. We won't necessarily stick to the outcome of this poll perfectly, but it will absolutely weigh heavily on the order in which we work through this.

To all our friends on servers following this channel, please come to the Avrae Development server to emoji-vote! https://support.avrae.io/

Grab your Discord ID (full Discord handle with any digits), go to D&DBeyond and log in to your account and go to your account settings (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account). In the Discord box, add your Discord ID and that should link things. Give it 10-15 minutes then run the !ddb command to check and confirm it's linked (should result in a message confirming it's linked if everything is correct).

A Message from the Team: Our Next Sprint Plan

We’re going to try a little experiment for a few weeks. The Avrae team plans our work in two week sprints. The next sprint is February 25th through March 11th.

Below is a screenshot of our actual Jira board for the next sprint. Here’s a few notes:

  • Each line here is a ticket number and short description. Clicking into each ticket has a lot more implementation details. Those details aren’t quite as easy to share right now, but the title should give you a decent idea of what it’s about.
  • The second column is the category. Different members of the team have different specialities and skills, so we can’t just throw everyone at a single topic. That also means we’re able to make progress in multiple areas at the same time. Some book ingestion, some backend or operational improvements, some user submitted automations, etc.
  • The third column is the status. You’ll see a few different ones here, but the most common are Backlog (Haven’t Started), In Progress, Code Review, Testing, and Completed.
  • Most importantly: We are offering a high level of transparency here into upcoming work and what’s in progress. But that does come with one big caveat: Sometimes plans change. People get sick, there’s some emergency work that interrupts the sprint, something is more complex than we anticipated, we discover something isn’t going to be possible. This is a working document, not a sanitized marketing or PR presentation. We want to keep offering this level of transparency, and in return we ask for your grace if things get bumped around a bit by reality.

Avrae Community Update - 3/13/2026

Good time zone, everyone! Here's your update on new Avrae features/content releases, automation updates, and bug fixes. Remember to please report any issues you see with these updates in the #795768989729030165 channel of the Avrae server, and let us know how we can better deliver these updates to you!

Bug Fixes / Automation Updates

  • Dirge: The spell Dirge overwrites the concentration effect with another effect of the same name. Reported by thereverendb
  • Cthonic Tiefling issues: Cthonic Tieflings do get a False Life free cast automation, but they do not get the Ray of Enfeeblement one at level 5 when they should. Reported by kedarothort

Regarding Last Update's Skipped Automations

We have an update for you about last week's skipped automations (all the ones marked [skip => true]). After evaluating those automations, we found the following patterns:

  • The automation involved distances or durations
  • We could only partially support the feature (Automatic Weapons, Revolver, Vex, Critical Shot, Gut Shot, Slick Talker)

What We're Doing: We’ll create tickets for each of the skipped automations and will prioritize them accordingly. If we can partially support it, we’ll add partial support. If the feature can’t be supported at all we will have the automation output the action’s text. Thanks to everyone for pointing this out to us!

Next Sprint Plan

Our next sprint runs from March 11th to March 25th.

I'm having issues with rolls made on DDB showing up on discord. is it still down? or am i missing something?

late elmBOT
#

Hi everyone. Quick announcement: we are aware of an issue where rolls aren't showing up through Discord via the D&D Beyond website.

We've identified the issue and will be deploying the fix in the next day or so.

If you want to know what happened: The high level explanation is there was an optimization in how D&D Beyond sends data about dice rolls that eliminated some empty strings. That team wasn't aware that Avrae was expecting an empty string, and broke when it didn't receive anything. The fix is handling this error case more gracefully on the Avrae side.

late elmBOT
#

We have deployed the fix for rolls not showing up through Discord via the D&D Beyond website. Sorry about that, and I hope you all roll many nat 20s.

I have a question and I hope this is the right place to ask it. Will Avrae still work if I change its name and/or change the name of its role? (I just have a theme on my server I like to enforce.)

Yeah, the names shouldn’t matter.

Greetings. Can any player, especially the DM of a campaign, summon the specific inventory of a player in discord through Avrae?

#

Avrae doesn’t normally even track inventory.

#

There are user-made aliases that do it, but the functionality there would depend on whoever wrote it.

#

What do you need help with? And have you tried the !help command?

#

Is it possible for a dm to manually add a player to initiative? One of my players isn't on as often as the others so I feel it would help speed things up, but I couldn't find anything through my own searching

If you're the DM I think you can add a creature (including character) to initiative with the !init add <name of character>

Oh for monsters/creatures use the !init madd <monster name>

See !help init for more info

I'm sorry if I'm repeating what someone else said. But apparently, now when we roll from Beyond (specifically using the drop down menu to activate advantage or disadvantage) it doesn't come through to Discord from Avrae.

Avrae Community Update - 3/27/2026

Is everyone aware that the 2024 barbarian via Avrae is just adding Rage damage to every attack instead of just Strength-based Attacks?

Its even adding Rage Damage to Spells.... I was just playing around to check... Cast Healing Word as my Barbarian while raging in Initiative.... and it healed 2 less damage because after rolling the healing dice... it also did 2 Rage Damage.

#

Is that something I or my players can manage.... or is it just a bug that needs to be ironed out?

viscid kernel
#

So in your case, you’ll probably want to add a snippet that you can use to signal when to add it (or when to remove it).

#

(ICYMI, though, Rage normally prohibits barbs from casting spells.)

fallow stratus
#

Are there any known issues happening at the moment with avrae where it is having trouble pulling character sheets or finding active characters?

My players imported their character sheets correctly, they did the !ddb status and it shows they have access to everything, but when they try to join initiative it is telling them they have no active character

brazen geyser
#

Does anyone know how to get features on a gsheet to come up as action options in avrae?

#

Because I’m making a sidekick and the sidekick abilities don’t come up when I load it into avrae

viscid kernel
#

!char bob

fallow stratus
#

they tried that as well and it is giving them the same issue, no active character

What does it show if they do just !char

#

Or !char list

#

but they did import their characters and they do have their accounts linked to discord

We are aware of some occasional instability occuring over the last week in Avrae, as well as reports of Avrae data not syncing to your D&D Beyond character sheet/DDB authorization problems for the last few days. We have been, and will continue to, investigate these issues and get them resolved! Sorry for the inconvenience.

late elmBOT
#

A more detailed update on the instability issues we've been facing.

Non-technical version: There seems to be an issue that can cause cruft to build up over time on our servers, although it hasn't typically caused issues. Recently, we recently set up a tool that we use across D&D Beyond that gives us insight into the server health and stability - lets us see errors, monitor CPU and memory usage, etc. That tool seems to be interacting unexpectedly with the aforementioned issue, and is occasionally causing memory usage spikes that crash a cluster. The cluster comes back online automatically after 15-20 minutes. Through our investigation, while the observation tool does seem to be contributing to the instability, it's also critical in tracking down what's going on and solving it. Once we're on the other side of this, it will also help us be more proactive and fast in identifying and addressing future issues.

Technical version: We've traced the memory leak to individual ECS tasks, rather than being a systemic issue. Affected tasks may run normally for several days before suddenly spiking to 100% memory utilization and terminating. Datadog, the monitoring and observation platform we use across D&D Beyond and recently integrated into Avrae, appears to contribute to the increased memory pressure, but it also provides critical visibility needed to investigate and identify the root cause.

I'll keep everyone up to date as we continue our investigation.

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.

To continue my update from last week: There were actually two separate issues happening (which is some pretty incredible timing). One was related to the server monitoring software we installed. At the same time, there was an issue with certain automations triggering infinite loops that could take down the whole server.

Happy to report that both of these issues seem to be resolved and Avrae is back on stable footing. We continue to monitor Avrae server health (with our new observability tools!) and will be looking for additional issues. If you do experience anything though, please report them in the #269276431605956609 channel of our main server: https://discord.gg/Zhccjrsv.

Thanks to @Destroyer-GMT+2 (Reply pings ok) for finding the trigger for that second issue. A huge help to the dev team!

Yo what’s good y’all

I’m building a DCUO/Nexus City RP server and I’m trying to use Avrae to run it like my own mini D&D system. I want Avrae to handle stuff like dice-based PvP outcomes, simple character profiles, and tracking tokens/items (rerolls, shop items, “memory shard” progression, etc.).

I’m still new to building custom Avrae systems, so I’m trying to figure out the right direction:
What’s the best way to set up a custom system like this in Avrae?
Should I be using aliases + uvars, character sheets, or something else?
Any tips or examples on how you’d structure it so it stays simple for players?\

outer lark
#

What is AVRAE? Or stand for? Is this some coding thing?

viscid kernel
indigo pumice
#

If I am using action surge as a fighter to make another attack, how do I tell Avrae that? Do I give the action surge command (which I presume is ! action surge) then a separate command or is there a way of doing it in one step. Similarly, what if as an echo knight I’m using unleash incarnation?

empty linden
#

!a action surge - this will reduce the counters for it.
Then you would need to run the !a <attack name> -rr x where x is the number of attacks you normally make on your attack action.
There isn't a "one command" for it all but you could create a custom alias that puts it all together.
See !help alias for more info on how to do that (you can also use the Avrae dashboard to create the alias with a UI - go to Avrae.io and login (it uses your Discord account to authenticate) to edit your character's attacks, make aliases, and make snippets).

Ah - that would be it! I did have access to it but then campaign sharing was lost.

You've got two options, then:

  • Purchase Explorers Guide to Wildemount and switch to the official subclass.
  • Automate it in Avrae yourself.

Fair enough! Thanks!

Anyone able to help me link a campaign for bot rolls in a discord server?

viscid kernel
#

What was the exact command you used? What did it say in response?

hollow spear
#

!campaign

#

Then a space then the campaign link

#

Then it said “You are not in this campaign, or this campaign does not exist.”

#

Here’s the chat

#

Plus I tried some other variations and nothing is working

viscid kernel
#

You definitely used the right command (at least for the ones that said you’re not in the campaign). 🤔

#

Did you create that campaign yourself?

Yes

guys question about bastions

I just picked unarmed Expert from Training Area (When you hit with an unarmed strike, the attack deals an additional 1d4 bludgeoning damage)

does this automatically add up on avrae?

or do I have to add it manually on damage

viscid kernel
#

Probably won’t happen out of the box.

#

If you’re using GSheet or Dice Cloud, you can probably change your unarmed strike damage there and then !update.

#

On DDB, you might be able to add a homebrew feat or magic that does it, and then !update. Not sure if it’s actually possible, though.

#

I’d probably solve this in Avrae itself by adding my own action. See !help action create for instructions.

#

Alternatively, you could make a snippet and add it to attacks as needed.

onyx marlin
#

Oooh i have not update it yet

onyx marlin
#

still nothing even after the update

viscid kernel
#

!update pulls in changes made to your character sheet. How did you apply this to your character sheet?

i got a tip on how to manually add 1d4 on damage on avrae

Hey there, I have set up a server and invited players. We are all in initiative. I created the map, set it up and added monsters. But players seem to be unable to add themselves to the map.

#

I thought it was an issue with permissions but I gave every permission possible a d still nothing. They do !move (coordenates) and nothing happens

#

Any ideas why this happens?

#

I have another server and there I never had this problem. I don't recall changing anything so that players could use map commands

#

FYI, they can roll dice and add themselves to combat

#

They just can't add their characters to the map

#

Any ideas?

viscid kernel
#

Avrae doesn’t have any built-in map support. If you’ve got a user-made alias for that, you might be able to get help on the Avrae dev server instead.

Avrae Community Update - 5/11/2026

Hello, everyone! Here's last week's updates delivered a little later than planned—my apologies—but as always, remember to please report any issues you see with these updated in the #795768989729030165 channel of the Avrae server!

New Content

Nothing to report. We having been solely focusing on stability, security, and impactful bugs.

Now that the Drops content is out, we can begin actualizing the relevant content for Avrae. It will get balanced with the other book content we're currently working on.

Bug Fixes / Automation Updates

  • Stabilized Datadog. The version of dd-trace-py that we were using caused a memory leak in aiohttp. We resolved this issue by pinning to an older version.
  • We deployed a quick fix to prevent certain automations from infinitely recursing and then followed up with an improvement using DisplayOnlyAutomationEvaluator. Shoutout to Destroyer for figuring this one out!
  • Fixed issue with character sheet syncing.
  • Fixed issue causing dice rolls on DDB to not appear on Avrae
  • Removed action name from automation footer at community request.

Changes to Update Delivery

We wanted to let everyone know that we will be making some changes to the way we deliver Avrae updates to you in the coming weeks (think ✨ automation ✨); we will be communicating these updates out once they're a bit more solid.

Next Sprint Plan

Here is the plan for the sprint that begn last Wednesday, May 6th.
Note: 2 sensitive tickets have been left off the list

How do you hide a roll from the players that you roll in front of them?

You can’t. You’d need to roll it in a private channel, or DM Avrae directly.

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.

Getting Started With Avrae

Avrae is a powerful bot, but it can be pretty daunting to get everything set up! Here's four quick steps to getting a character sheet linked with Avrae, and ready to play in a game!

1. Roll Stats

Use the !randchar command to generate a set of stats. You can skip this step if your game is using a different method.

2. Make Your Character

Once you have your stats, think of what character you want to play and make them a sheet on D&D Beyond!

3. Import Your Character

Once you're done making your character, make sure it's publicly viewable (Avrae needs to be able to see your sheet), grab the sharing URL, and run !beyond URL. You should see your character's stats pop up in Discord!

4. Ready to Roll

You're ready to roll now! You can use the !check command to roll skill checks, !save for saving throws, and !attack to attack with your weapons!

Examples

!check arcana - rolls an Intelligence (Arcana) check
!save dexterity - rolls a Dexterity Save
!attack longsword- rolls an attack with a longsword

Detailed Usage

For more detailed documentation on how each command works, you can use !help COMMAND to view a list of supported arguments, or come join us at the Avrae Development Discord!

how do i roll for hp maximum

buoyant raft
#

What you mean?

lucid lichen
#

Looks like you figured it out

prisma lake
#

im trying to figure out how to get my max hp for new character

primal rivet
#

you can just !r the dice

uneven wing
#

You don’t roll for starting max hp

#

It’s the maximum of your class’ hit die plus your Constitution Modifier.

lucid lichen
#

Well, you do if you start at level 2 or higher

#

1st level is max though, yes

uneven wing
#

That’s fair

prisma lake
#

im at lvl 3

lucid lichen
#

I've never started at level 1

prisma lake
#

dragonborn paladin

lucid lichen
#

What's your constitution modifier?

prisma lake
#

+1

lucid lichen
#

!r 10+2d10+3

wheat gardenBOT
#

@prisma lake :game_die:
Result: 10 + 2d10 (7, 8) + 3
Total: 28

lucid lichen
#

So your max hp is 28

#

Good rolls

prisma lake
#

thx

primal rivet
#

man rolling hp

#

i always use average 😅

lucid lichen
#

I used to roll

#

Then silver started one shotting me

prisma lake
#

i no dices yet

#

i havethe book

#

how do i find passive perception

primal rivet
#

10 + your bonus to perception checks

peak terrace
#

I always roll... Only because in my long-running campaign I have had insane luck and rolled an 8-10 almost every level for my Ranger. Every other game I roll in I get weeeeell below average. Oh well.

prisma lake
#

so 2 martial weapons count as melee and ranged

trail rose
#

Does anyone know when Avrae is going to be fully integrated into Discord?

buoyant raft
#

What you mean, fully integrated into Discord?

primal rivet
#

???

#

avrae is a discord bot

trail rose
#

with linked campaigns and cahracter sheets for my pc's

primal rivet
#

you mean integrated with dnd beyond?

trail rose
#

yes.

#

thanks, that's a better way to put it

primal rivet
#

fully, no idea

#

it'll happen step by step

#

i think the next thing on the list is getting the ability to view non-SRD content

#

if you own it on ddb

trail rose
#

that's awesome

primal rivet
#

avrae can already use character sheets

#

see !help beyond for how to do that

#

campaign stuff I don't think is planned at the moment

trail rose
#

i'll try it

#

thanks @primal rivet

#

@primal rivet that was very straight forward thank you

prisma lake
#

what happens when a player dies do u lose everything, can a random player pick their items

primal rivet
#

That's definitely not an avrae related question

still elm
#

@prisma lake Yeah that's a question for your DM, or at least #dnd-discussion 😄

copypasting from #ddb-avrae-commands so the conversation's visible to others and not lost among a sea of commands and Avrae responses:
"Matthias von SchwarzwaldToday at 6:54 PM
What? No EEPC?

V2BlastToday at 7:37 PM
@zhu.exe probably stuck to the non-SRD stuff (even excluding free EEPC stuff) since they made that change before Avrae was acquired by DDB
can ask about it in #ddb-avrae-help if you want

zhu.exeToday at 7:39 PM
EEPC, while free, is non-SRD and I can't have it available without licensing
linking up with your DDB account is very high priority though

V2BlastToday at 7:45 PM
now that it's owned by DDB, don't you sorta inherently have the right to display EEPC content in it? or will that only be the case even after it can link to your DDB account (even though the EEPC content is freely accessible even without an account)?

zhu.exeToday at 7:49 PM
will have to check with the team on that
I'm preeety sure I can show EEPC for free since the old bot did? but yeah, need confirmation on that

V2BlastToday at 7:51 PM
Yeah. I think there might have been issues showing EEPC content before D&D Beyond owned it, since it is technically non-SRD, but it seems like D&D Beyond does have a license to show WotC content outside the SRD (including EEPC and some UA)"

Though as a note you're using damage tags to show what abilities you're using

Yeah, I don't want to add them all together. GFB has a separate damage roll for a secondary target.

I don't quite understand how to add that to the 'ssg' snippet.

Hrm, I can't seem to figure it out for Booming Blade: {{vroll(str((("2" if level<11 else "3" if level<17 else "4") +"d8 + " if level>=5 else"") +" [thunder]"))}} damage What do I change in the '5 else' bit to make it work?

#

might help if i had context for

If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes {{vroll(str(("1" if level<5 else "2" if level<11 else "3" if level<17 else "4")+"d8 [thunder]"))}} damage, and the spell ends." This is the booming blade snippet i have

fickle latch
#

I'm kinda having to work around a few things. One because DDB doesn't do shadow blade properly so I have to add a d8 for damage since I'm using a customised magical rapier. So I have to go !a shadow <snippet> to get a proper summary of everything.

fickle latch
#

I'm sure someone has noticed this already but thought I'd point it out: Avrae doesn't draw from customisations of weapons, only base weapons. So for instance, a sun blade still appears as slashing damage and doesn't consider it a finesse weapon.

lucid lichen
#

A good portion of that is that up until the aquisition

#

Zhu had to basically dissect the character json

#

and a lot of it was/is fairly obfuscated and hard to figure out

#

so things like that should improve dramatically over the new few months

fickle latch
#

Nobody expects... the Acquisition!

swift valve
#

This is more funny in light of the whole "Acquisitions Incorporated" book coming out.

For the duration, you understand the literal meaning of any spoken language that you hear. You also understand any written language that you see, but you must be touching the surface on which the words are written. It takes about 1 minute to read one page of text.
This spell doesn't decode secret messages in a text or a glyph, such as an arcane sigil, that isn't part of a written language.

How? I have a snippet set up to do a sneak attack + booming or greenflame + shadow blade attack with ea but it'd be nice if I could type out something easier than !a shadow ea ssbb

pine harbor
#

You cant do snippets within snippets because of infinite snippets

#

You can do a shortcut attack line

fickle latch
#

I thought snippets were shortcuts...

lucid lichen
#

They are. Your typing out ssbb instead of -d 1d8..... etc

#

takes a bit of setup

#

i think @lucid lichen uses it and might have a good idea on how it works

#

i don't personally use it

lucid lichen
#

tfw you @ me and not the guy who wrote it

primal rivet
#

derix isn't super active here

lucid lichen
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

gray stratus
#

thats really cool...but it seems to make me reload each tim ei use it....like the page breaks

lucid lichen
#

what?

#

page breaks?

gray stratus
#

each time i use the command discord goes "well this is embarassing" and reconnects

lucid lichen
#

thats

#

very very odd

#

like, i've been using Avrae for over 2 years

#

and thats never happened

#

and i've never even heard of it happening O.o

gray stratus
#

i have a screen shot but cant upload it

#

great starting point though! thanks so much

gray stratus
#

so, i've been working on this yesterday evening and I cant seam to get embed to work.
Here is what im trying:

#

!alias say3 {{n = name}}{{l = level}}{{msg = "&*&"}}{{header = str(n) + '[' + str(l) + ']'}}{{de = str(msg)}}{{embed -title n -desc header}}

wheat gardenBOT
#

Alias !say3 added for command:
!{{n = name}}{{l = level}}{{msg = "&*&"}}{{header = str(n) + '[' + str(l) + ']'}}{{de = str(msg)}}{{embed -title n -desc header}}

gray stratus
#

It says there is a syntax error at -title (n) Error @ n*

#

name and level being the character name and level

lucid lichen
#

Quotes, its trying to find a variable named embed

#

{{f'embed -title "{n}" -desc "{header}"'

#

Or

#

embed -title "{{n}}" -desc "{{header}}"

wait what

Ice Knife isn't in the SRD, so it found a spell with IFE in it.

#

Anyone can help me create a serveralias for making counters?

primal rivet
#

you might want to check the avrae dev server

#

we've a nice big list of server aliases, and also do support for aliasing and more advanced avrae stuff there

rocky hawk
#

awesome really appreciate it

fickle latch
#

What's a serveralias?

fickle salmon
#

An alias is a shortcut to entering a number of commands. Generally, an alias is based on the individual. A servalias is an alias set up so anyone on the server can use it.

gray stratus
#

So I’m looking to try a little mod to ability checks. Is there a method for setting up an alias to roll 2d12 +mod +proficiency bonus if proficient and 1d20 + mod other wise?

primal rivet
#

it's possible with an alias but

#

not possible as part of avrae's native features

#

you basically would have to write an alias that fakes an ability check

#

for more help on that, join the avrae dev server

ocean matrix
#

Does DDB handle feats like Reliable Talent natively, or do I need to account for it myself?

pale sky
#

Is that an Avrae question or a DDB website question?

primal rivet
#

Avrae can do reliable talent, but requires you provide -mc 10 when you make the check. For example: !c stealth -mc 10.

#

If your question is unrelated to Avrae, then this is the wrong channel for it

ocean matrix
#

Thanks!

nimble pivot
#

Is there a command to have a PC do a roll check with avrae to send a direct msg to a DM role with the result?

primal rivet
#

nope

#

for that, i usually use private "whisper" channels

#

which only the DM, the player, and Avrae can see

nimble pivot
#

Ah, I see. Thanks for the quick reply!

spark kettle
#

Why can't Avrae pull non-SRD spell information from a character sheet?

bronze kestrel
#

probably for legal reasons

spark kettle
#

If the character sheet has the spell, it would be just pulling that data already entered. Not from a database elsewhere. So the character would be part of a campaign or account that has access to that content.

#

I can understand it not pulling the data if you're using it to lookup a spell or something and not something from a character sheet.

primal rivet
#

it's for legal reasons

#

but don't fret

#

we're working on getting Avrae to read the content you have available to you on DDB

#

so soon™, you'll be able to view any content you have purchased on DDB from Avrae

#

the difference between looking up a spell as pure lookup versus looking up a spell from a character sheet is none

#

so

#

thus why non-SRD isn't supported at the moment

spark kettle
#

It should be different though...

#

I can create custom attacks and use them through Avrae.

primal rivet
#

i can tell you that it is not

#

you can, yes

spark kettle
#

So why can't the !cast spellname do the same thing and pull the data from the sheet instead of a database?

primal rivet
#

avrae's lookup and spellcasting all pull from the same database

#

in a way, you can store "custom spells" as part of a character sheet, but not through any base avrae functionality

#

there are aliases that we have which allow you to store certain abilities as character variables, and then reference them when necessary

#

but, as those are aliases, those aren't core avrae functions

#

those are custom commands written by other avrae users

lucid lichen
#

Also storing that information in avraes database would explode the amount of data stored per character, and loading it from the sheet everytime you looked it up would explode api usage and wait time

#

And the automation syntax is unique to avrae, so casting the spells wouldn't even do anything

ocean matrix
#

So, When(TM?) the AvraeDDB merger thing is done, and everything's all synced, things like Reliable Talent and whatnot will be automatically factored in and whatnot?

primal rivet
#

reliable talent is not slated to be a thing supported afaik

#

it can already be done by using -mc 10

#

!snippet reliable -mc 10
and then whenever you make a check you're proficient in, !c stealth reliable

ocean matrix
#

Ah. I already have something similar set up, but was curious if anything Official was in consideration.

#

👍

#

Thanks.

rocky thorn
#

Quick quesiton. In Avrae's initiativ tracker, can it track lair actions on count 20 ?

primal rivet
#

you can add a "combatant" to initiative if you want it to stop at init 20

#

!i add 20 "Lair Actions" -p

rocky thorn
#

Legend! Thank you

So, I have a tome set up on avrae.io for homebrew spells and such, and it isn't finding it when I use the cast command.

lucid lichen
#

Did you add the spell to your spellbook

#

And did you activate the tome with !tome name

spark kettle
#

Not here, but on my server, yes.
