Monster casting out of combat is one of the next things I plan on working on, you can track its progress or leave comments at https://github.com/avrae/avrae/issues/822
pale sky
Let me test
Im sure I did that and it wasnt working
Ooooh, I wasnt using init at the start
Was trying to just use !cast
Is the cast feature under the init section in the commands list?
It is and Im blind.
!sheet cult fanatic
derp wrong server
Okay - next question, if i have a monster cast a spell, its coming up with no spell slots
and cancelling the command
Should I just use the -i to ignore?
mental citrus
...huh! That's a new bug. Yeah, since monster slots aren't tracked yet (that's https://github.com/avrae/avrae/issues/790), just use -i and I'll log that bug

Ahhh, thanks!
Trying to get used to Avrae for full combat tracking since I have a group that faint at the thought of using Roll20...

Hello, im having a problem with the staff of striking. Avare doesnt consider it a weapon so its not included in my list of attacks.
pale sky
Staff of Power also has the same issue - it might be an issue with magical staffs?
round musk
Probably
dull aurora
sick mulch
yeah its an issue with all staffs. i do still get to use any spells that said staff would give me, but when i try to attack with said staff it doesnt let me.
pale sky
Probably need zhu or one of the team to take a look
sick mulch
while their at it should probabably fix the spellbook command for classes that prepare spells.
buoyant raft
You could set up an attack with the staff manualy
Or maybe add a magical quaterstaff to your inventory as a workaround
sick mulch
Yeah i did that, but its still kind of a pain. Ill live with it until its fixed

vapid dirge
has anyone had an issue with using gunslinger and avrae where the to hit on the pepperbox attack doesn't have proficiency added to it with avrae's roll but it does on the beyond character sheet
it also doesn't add the archery bonus on avrae but on beyond its got it.
I tried using a longbow and bad news, Long bow had the full +6 to hit but bad news was missing the prof and archery bonuses and was only +2 (dex). however on D&D beyond all 3 attacks are +6 to hit
sick mulch
@vapid dirge all guns in avare are glitched to my knowledge so they dont add your profficiency bonus to them. Go to the weapon stats and override the to hit modifier to what it should be and that should resolve the issue.
Same goes for the damage bonus
round musk
...No? Not sure what you mean or where you saw it
gusty egret
I don't think it's ever supported roll20, but it lists Beyond right on the site.
round musk
Avrae was acquired by D&D Beyond, and they hired the dev. Full integration with DDB is eventually planned for being able to access/lookup anything you own on D&D Beyond using the Discord bot, but in the meantime, you can (as always) import a D&D Beyond character sheet into Avrae as long as the character is public.
(the dev being @mental citrus )
mental citrus
Huh - well, that's certainly not true, Avrae can still import DDB characters, and V2 has the full story 😛
round musk
😄
mental citrus
what site are you looking at?

Avrae can read character sheets from Dicecloud, a Google Sheet, or D&D Beyond,
Also scroll to the bottom and "© 2019 D&D Beyond | All Rights Reserved"

As a note reading back on the issues on magical staves and gunslingers - we're aware that there are a few issues when importing DDB sheets (specifically centered around nonofficial classes and magic items); we're working on rewriting the entire way Avrae reads DDB sheets that should take out all those bugs in one fell swoop, but it might take a little bit!
(Also, I do tend to pay more attention to the Avrae Dev server, you can join us at https://support.avrae.io)

Literally this channel, alternatively there is an Avrae discord as well
sonic pasture
So I create a tortle monk on ddb and it has a AC 17, but when I load it with Avrae it shows a AC 20. Natural armor = AC 17, Unarmored defense = AC 17. this is the character https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/ae3erdion/characters/19931755
The only possible calculation is that is using natural armor + Wis mod
As far as I know is the wrong calculation

Is there a way to get the bot to use spell attacks like booming blade or greenflame blade? i use them alot but i always have to make a normal dagger attack and add the modifers to it myself by rolling extra rolls afterwards. same with sneak attack is there something i am missing here?
grim narwhal
I think snippets will work with what you're talking about. in their example they make a sneak attack macro https://avrae.io/commands go here then look at the snippet section under customization @sick dew you could probably add the spells onto attack rolls too, idk if you could macro it using a spell slot though. might have to cast then use the snippet
Speaking of macros. Does anyone have an idea of how to make a macro for people to roll a breath attack with the Dragon's breath spell? I know you could add a custom attack to everyone's character sheet, but could there be a server attack made for it?

Does anybody know if Avrae has a command to long/short rest? Whenever I cast spells, it uses the spell slot, but it doesn't show that in Beyond for me to recover them when I rest. Is there a command in Avrae I should be using to do this?
whole root
I believe the commands are !g lr for a long rest and !g sr for a short rest. There is an additional thing to add on to the short rest commands to use hit dice, but I don't know what it is.
whole root
Not a problem!
buoyant raft
The hit dice thing is not build in, you need the hit dice counter (granted by the !level alias if used) and then either use the !hd alias or get the !sr alias to use the hitdice (best grab both as for certain class combos its importand to do !sr only once and then use !hd if mor hit dice are to be used.
Then also grab the !lr alias, which for example also recovers the correct amount of Hit dice per long rest.
All those things are to be found on the avrae dev server.

Big update to Avrae today! Here's a copy-paste from the Avrae Development server:
Chromatic Green 2: Monster Spellcasting!
v1.5.0, Chromatic Green 2, adds the ability for monsters to cast spells outside of initiative, and tracks monsters' (both official and homebrew!) spellcasting resources inside initiative. Additionally, lots of minor QoL changes were added:
Note that you'll have to reimport your bestiaries to make homebrew monster spellcasting work, and monsters in existing combats will not be able to use the new system until the combat is restarted.
New Features
AFR-439 Added the !mcast command
AFR-417 Added monster spellcasting resource tracking in initiative
Dicecloud: Added support for multiple spell lists with different DCs/SABs
GSheet 2.1: Added support for sheet vulnerabilities
AFR-436 Added -h argument to !monster
AFR-199 Monsters with legendary actions now display what legendary actions are
Aliasing: Made the alias added confirmation message look better
Docs: Added a Getting Started cheatsheet, moved cheatsheets to ReadTheDocs
Bugs Fixed
AVR-461 Monsters can now cast levelled spells in init without having to use -i
WEB-044 Added missing reference to SimpleCombatant.note to the aliasing docs
AVR-467 Fixed cases where AnnotatedStrings in IEffects would only ever calculate once
AVR-468 Fixed an issue where users could not subscribe to packs
Draconic: Variables referring to classes with a space in them will now be valid identifiers
AVR-473 Fixed an issue where deleting a homebrew object would make it impossible to look up other objects
GSheet 2.x: Base ability checks now take Jack of All Trades into account

It happened again. My artificer has the wrong number of spell slots.
My character is a 5/5 sorcerer artificer (do not reccomend personally) and has the wrong number of multiclassing slots.
Beyond says that i should have 2 slots at 4th level, but avere only lets me have one.
I think i know why this happens though. As far as multiclassing is concerned, artificer is a half caster, and you round up their level for multiclassing, where as with other classes you round down (like ranger and paladin.)
This was fixed last time when i went from 3rd level artificer to 4th level artificer. Sorc levels worked properly.

@narrow aspen In my group, we just had the player set up a separate attack.
!attack add "scimitar bonus" -b proficiencyBonus+strengthMod -d 1d4+{strengthMod}[slashing]
Note that hers was the standard DBS, not the revenant one. With yours having finesse only when two-handed, things get even more complicated.
narrow aspen
@viscid kernel “With yours having finesse only when two-handed, things get even more complicated.” How do you mean?
Thx, BTW.
viscid kernel
The biggest problem is that Avrae won’t know if it’s being held in one or two hands.
So you can mimic finesse easy enough. You could even set up a cvar to track if you’ve got it in one or both hands and apply finesse conditionally.
But honestly, the simplest solution might be to just add two attacks: “scimitar bonus str” and “scimitar bonus dex”, for example.

is there a way for the DM to tweak a roll to roll a specific number?

You can just use the roll command and type a number instead of the typical xdy format, and Avrae should give back that same number you just typed, I think
You can also use Avrae as a calculator by using the roll command and simply type your equation
I've been doing that for quite some time

The simplest solution is to just manually add the value, e.g. !roll 1d12+3.
You could set up an alias if you want it to look up that value instead.
Something like !alias stones-endurance roll 1d12+{charismaMod} first, then use it with !stones-endurance

Hey @urban stump!
For sneak attack, there's a few things. If you have advantage, you can add adv to the command. For the damage bonus, you'd add it with -d <value> (in this case, -d 1d6). All together it would look something like this:
!attack dagger adv -d 1d6
Meanwhile, !sheet will show your raw stats. !game status will show your current HP and counters.

Once you've figured out what options you want for your sneak attack, you can create something called a snippet.
!snippet sneak -d 1d6
You can add other things in there like those text changes if you want.
But then when you attack, you don't have to remember or retype all the specifics. You just use the snippet instead.
!attack dagger sneak
Again, you can use !help snippet if you want more details.

Is it always going to show "Effect
Proficiency with a dagger allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it."? Seems a little unnecessary.
viscid kernel
Unfortunately, yeah. It just shows whatever DDB has for the description.
More useful on magic items; less so on the mundane.

What is it you’re trying to do?
Huh. That link really only talks about spell automation, not how to add custom spells to begin with. 🤔
Short version is to go here:

Create a tome. Add your spells (with or without automation).
And then use !tome subscribe <tome_url> to access them from Discord.

what does the "ticks on end" checkbox in the homebrew spell editor mean? Does it mean it counts down effects from the end of your turn or something?
viscid kernel
@pearl folio Yeah, it's for effect duration. Say you've got an effect that lasts 10 rounds. By default, that turns to 9 at the start of your next turn. Check that, and it'll happen at the end instead.

Oh! My bad.
narrow aspen
Great weapon fighting is the fighting style that allows reroll of 1s & 2s in dmg
viscid kernel
I don't think there's a way to add it as-needed to an existing attack.
You might be able to use Avrae's website to automate something, but I'll admit, I'm not sure if those tools would cover this scenario.

Fighter, ranger, paladin all get this as a fighting style, how is it not available, this is insane.

so if i was great weapon fighting using just a normal greatsword
how would i write the command?
,!a Greatsword ???
viscid kernel
Like I said, I don’t think you can just add it to an existing attack like that, but I could be wrong.
viscid kernel
But you can create it as its own attack, at least. Something like...
!a add "GWF Greatsword" -b 4 -d 2d6ro<2+4
toxic hollow
lemme see if that command is right
viscid kernel
Then you’d use !attack "GWF Greatsword" instead.
toxic hollow
that damage isnt right though
viscid kernel
Oh, I didn’t actually look up the stats for a greatsword.

question re the discord bot - how is it set up so it ignores commands other than in #ddb-avrae-commands ? (is there a better way than just denying it Send Messages everywhere else?)
trying to do it with Roles but seem to be missing something.
young arch
Edit the category to deny the role the ability to read the text channel of any category you don't want it to be in. Once you get it denied in all of those categories, in this category (where the #ddb-avrae-commands channel is located) you will have to deny the role's ability per channel.

@young arch A simple way to handle Two-weapon fighting (for not two weapon fighting fighters) is to set up a snippet for offhand attacks like this !snippet offhanddex -d -{dexterityMod} or this !snippet offhandstr -d -{strengthMod} Two handle the "no ability score added to offhand attack" rule
For party wide actions such as saves, you can run a command that looks like this !use -save [save type] -dc [dc] -t [PC1] -t [PC2] -t [PCn] provided you have the !use alias on your server. Long rests as far as I know have to be handled by the player themselves @young arch

@gleaming apex You can make a snippet, which is a little of both. 😛
Normally you'd add the damage like so: !attack axe -b -5 -d 10
Instead you can create a snippet to hold those extra arguments. We'll call it "gwm". !snippet gwm -b -5 -d 10
Then you can call the snippet when you attack instead. !attack axe gwm

Easiest way to do that would be with a snippet that detracts strength snd uses dex:

Same syntax as a regular attack. You just have to put init first.

i didnt use bite. so the monster im using for test in my server is a twig blight. its attack is claw. but i cant even get avrae to list any actions/attacks the twig blight has
but i can use !a and it list my pc attacks (all available attacks) and lets me chose them

You added that through homebrew, I take it?
Try !monster twig blight to get a list of its attacks.

If you use !init list again or !init status Merrick it should show them as charmed.
I doubt it automatically repeats the save, though.
You probably have to do it manually. On success, you can use !init re Merrick charmed to end the condition.

how does avrae handle rogue and sneak attack?
whole root
@woven belfry There is a snippet called sneak that you can add to an attack command, provided that you previously set up your character with the !level alias.
!snippet sneak {{dice=ceil(int(get('RogueLevel',level))/2)}} -d1 "{{dice}}d6" -f "Sneak Attack|Once per turn, you can deal an extra {{dice}}d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll."

Basically, if you use the !a shortsword sneak command, it automatically adds your sneak attack damage.
Go ahead and copy/paste the snippet into Avrae DMs
You'll also want to add !level rogue levelnumber after copy pasting this here to Avrae DMs:
woven belfry
Ok sneak added. We are using beyond sheets. So how do I tell avrae to get our rougues lvl

gusty egret
Hello! CritterDB is currently experiencing issues at the moment. Please rest assured that the issue is being worked on on the CritterDB dev's end, and CritterDB's services will resume as soon as they are able to.

When will there be more content than just the SRD?
buoyant raft
Some day, i think there is no estimated date for delivery.
It probably isn't that easy to correctly link to beyond and considder subscriptions and methods of sharing ect.
young arch
Honestly it shouldn't be that much different from the website's ability to lock content that you don't own
@buoyant raft
Everything is tied to your beyond account
buoyant raft
well Avrae does function a bit diffrent, and its still recent that the integration begun
woven belfry
is there an alias and snipped for great weapon amster feat?
whole root
Yes there is:
!snippet gwm -b -5 -d 10 -f "Great Weapon Master allows you to take a -5 penalty to hit in exchange for 10 bonus damage"
woven belfry
so how does my barbarian use that exacly? an example for avrae to understand that
whole root
!a greataxe gwm
woven belfry
where do i put that snippet then
whole root
Just copy/paste it to Avrae DMs
whole root
Oh, yeah, the player in question does it. Or you could replace snippet with serversnippet and add it to the server
woven belfry
ok thanks again
woven belfry
next barbar question, how do i add rage damage or reduce damage because of rage
whole root
There is an !rage alias that deals with all of that, provided the character is set up with the !level alias (which I believe I have already given you).
Anyway, here's !rage:
!alias rage embed {{set_cvar_nx("rage",'["acid","bludgeoning","cold","fire","force","lightning","necrotic","piercing","poison","radiant","slashing","thunder"]')if"Bear"==get("l3totem","")and'"BarbarianLevel": "Totem'in get("subclass","")else""}}{{args=argparse(&ARGS&)}}{{i,c,cc,lvl,r,b=args.get("i"),combat(),"Rages" if cc_exists("Rages") else "Rage",int(get("BarbarianLevel",0)), args.last("t") if "t" in args else name,load_json(get('rage','["bludgeoning","piercing","slashing"]'))}}{{C,v=c.get_combatant(r) if c else"",(cc_exists(cc) and get_cc(cc)>0)or i or lvl>=20}}{{tname = C.name if C else r}} -title "{{f'{tname} {"Rages" if v else "tries to Rage"}!'}}" -desc "{{"You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and are unable to cast or concentrate on spells. Your rage ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then, or as a bonus action on your turn." if v else "You must finish a long rest before you can use this ability again." if cc_exists(cc) else f"""You do not have this ability {'(Missing a custom counter named `Rage`)' if lvl else ''}"""}}" {{mod_cc(cc,-1) if v and not i and lvl<20 else ""}} -f "Rages{{f" (-1)" if v and not i and lvl<20 else ""}}| {{"Unlimited"if lvl>=20 else cc_str(cc) if cc_exists(cc) else"*None*"}}" -footer "Barbarian | PHB 48" -color <color> {{mod_cc("Fanatical Focus",1) if cc_exists("Fanatical Focus") else ""}}{{"-f 'Fanatical Focus|"+cc_str("Fanatical Focus")+"'" if cc_exists("Fanatical Focus") else ""}}{{t=C.resists.immune if C else ""}}{{T=["-resist "+x for x in b if x not in t]}}{{C.add_effect('Rage',f'-d {2+(lvl>8)+(lvl>15)} {" ".join(T)}',args.last("dur") if "dur" in args else 10) if v and C else ""}} {{f'-f "Effect|{C.get_effect("Rage")}"' if v and C else ""}}

ok so then its !a att gwm rage?
whole root
Does your server use Avrae initiative tracker?
woven belfry
yes... very basic right now
i just use basic I madd, i join and notiing else complicated yet\
young arch
I'm waiting for the rewrite before I use avrae
I've been using the combat tracker recently and it's amazing
whole root
Basically, when your barbarian uses their bonus action to rage, they use !rage and when they attack later, it auto adds the bonus and calculates in the resistances, if they get hit
whole root
Also, you might want to use !i a instead of !a while in initiative tracker
woven belfry
? how does that change?
whole root
Nevermind, it's irrelevant. I wasn't sure if the bonus damage was added if you simply use !a, but (as I just tested in #ddb-avrae-commands) it does
woven belfry
ok, my barbar sent !level and !rage, we are in test rounds, he tried using !rage and it says hes missiing the ability or custom counter rage
whole root
Would you mind sending me a DM with an invite to your server so that I can check it out quickly? (I'll leave again after)
buoyant raft
that sounds, that he has not used !level to set up his barb counters
sly pebble
https://avrae.io/ yeah?
gusty egret
Yes.
median bison
Is there a way to get the bonus damage from magic items to work?
gusty egret
You would use -d for that, there may be an alias at the Avrae discord server though.
median bison
ty i'll check
hushed harbor
Whats the best way to handle non-SRD spells like Zephyr Strike or Hex?
viscid kernel
@hushed harbor You can set them up as homebrew spells here. The automation takes some work, and some spells are easier than others.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/homebrew/spells
In the future, though (no ETA), Avrae will be able to read the purchases from your DDB account and let you use any spell you can access. 🙂
dense hemlock
Is the !xp command broken?
whole root
You can still add and subtract xp, though for some reason you can't see your current xp value
fickle salmon
Tis because !xp is an alias, not a base Avrae command. And there was an update to the scripting language that... interrupted the proper functioning of several useful aliases.
dense hemlock
@fickle salmon what aliases are impacted?
fickle salmon
!bag and !coins were affected, but were fixed with a backend change to the alias. !xp and !sr aliases have also been fixed and can be looked at on the Avrae Developer Discord.
fathom gulch
Hello, I am hoping someone might be able to answer a few questions for me about Avrae. My group is trying to move onto Discord so we can keep playing, but I am trying to figure out how I as the DM can look at their characters
Is there a command that allows me to review the other players character sheets?
We are importing from D&D Beyond
prime forge
I have a tab open to my campaign on DnD Beyond to review my player's sheets, keeping a little notepad on the monitor with things like passive perception, saves and AC
fickle salmon
AFAIK, there is no native command to view another character's SheetManager in Avrae. Nez's solution is the easiest. (There is a small possibility of pulling another person's information with a complex alias, but that'd best be discussed on Avrae's Development Discord.)
fathom gulch
Thanks for the update, i will give that a shot. it is better than nothing that is for sure.
prime forge
yea, kinda cumbersome if you don't have multiple monitors, but you can keep it up on a cellphone or tablet and again assuming you are using the campaign feature on DnD beyond you can see/adjust the character's full details.

Is it possible to look up the spell table for a class?

How do I add monsters from sources I own on DNDBeyond that arne't in the SRD?
gusty egret
Please don't ask questions in multiple channels.
You would have to use Avrae's built-in bestiary functions to homebrew equivalents of them.
haughty oracle
Okay. I'm new to Avrae and new to running on Discord, so this is all new and confusing
Our normally in person game is switching to online.
viscid kernel
@haughty oracle
- Go to CritterDB. https://critterdb.com/#/index
- Create and publish a bestiary.
- Add monsters to the bestiary.
!bestiary import <bestiary_url>
haughty oracle
Thanks
gusty egret
A reminder, doing so publishes the content, and you should not publish works that are not free.
woven belfry
how do you tell avea that you are using two-weapon fighting, (not using ability mod for damage)
gusty egret
Create a new attack.
woven belfry
attempted to, avrae is still adding ability mod to damage
gusty egret
What command did you use to add it?
woven belfry
beyond character sheet. 1dx str with overide of -4
gusty egret
You need to add it to Avrae.
!help attack should show you how to do it.
Please run commands over in #ddb-avrae-commands

brittle burrow
Just starting to use this. As a check to be sure I understand things, if one of my players wants a non-SRD spell, do they need to add it to their tome, or will it allow them to cast it if I add it to my tome and it's on their character sheet?
young arch
If the tome is set to be server wide then anyone with it in their sheet can use it.
brittle burrow
That makes sense, thanks!
haughty oracle
Is there a website like critterdb but for spell tome?

okay ty
also how does cantrip scaling work
like what does the bot do when you check that?
toxic hollow
How does one make avrae read a weapon as magical
Damage: ( 2d6 (3, 3) + 2 ) * 0 [slashing] cause this damage to a lich should be magical slashing damage
but its not reading as magic
or would i just have to manual roll it
i found manual rolling easier so im good

Hey I scripted some homebrew spells to replace the ones not in the SRD and some of them aren't showing up when a player runs !spellbook

viscid kernel
@mellow void Cantrips scaling multiplies the starting die when your character reaches certain levels: 2x at 5th, 3x at 11th, and 4x at 17th.
@toxic hollow One option is to add something like -neutral piercing to your attack command to temporarily ignore their resistance.
But I haven't found a way to just add [magical] to an existing attack.
@serene lion Not sure where you're getting hung up, but you can give them this link as an alternative.
https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cheatsheets/get_started.html#step-2-add-a-character
@umbral spade You can add your own spells here, then use !tome subscribe <url> to import.

how would I roll damage for a character withe the Savage Attacker feat? They are wielding a longsword two handed and have a plus seven to damage. They get 2 attacks per round. Is it "r2d10+14rr1,2"?
can I have avrae roll the two seperate attacks and generate the damage individually?
Thanks

Which aspect of it? You could make a snippet along the lines of !snippet dread -b +{wisdomMod} for the initiative thing (But I think ddb does that by itself)
viscid kernel
@steep zenith Use !prefix
steep zenith
@viscid kernel thanks I figured it out! :)

@whole root the portion that adds 1d8 to weapon attack, whanting to add something like sneak, !i a (att) -t (tar) dread
and yes ddb already added wis to init so thats not needed at all

I have a user trying to import a DDB sheet that they have a homebrew subclass in, it gives the error in attached screenshot. Here is the character sheet: https://ddb.ac/characters/16608199/SmmQbZ
I've replicated the issue, and other users on our server can import without issue--my best guess it's something to do with the homebrew? Avrae should probably either a) work with any homebrew, or b) give a user-friendly error to tell them "sorry, this doesn't work because it has homebrew" 😅
Is there something she can do to fix it, or is this a known issue?
I tried asking in the Avrae discord and the answer I got was basically 🤷♀️
trying here in case y'all know more info.
full crater
I believe Weni, the user, is doing so.
lucid lichen
Thats the best way to get the bug fixed 👍
@full crater did you try removing the quarterstaff?
full crater
I'll ask her, thanks
lucid lichen
and
Avrae should probably either a) work with any homebrew, or b) give a user-friendly error to tell them "sorry, this doesn't work because it has homebrew" 😅
I wish it was that simple
Unfortunately, due to the way that Avrae (currently) has to access the character sheet
it isn't as simple for her to just work with everything
or to just tell you exactly whats wrong
and it was less of a 🤷♂️ and more of a "we've done what we can to figure it out, the next step is to make a bug report" :-(
full crater
no worries! I guess I more meant I hope it gets to that point (and possibly gives users instructions on "got an error? you can report it here! <link>" because as this becomes more mainstream, not everyone using it will have a mod on server that knows how to track down error reporting information in the instructions)
She removed the quarterstaff, error persists
full crater
no worries! I've asked her to file a bug report, was just trying to be intermediary and see if there was a straightforward answer since the more technical stuff intimidates her
appreciate your help. We've used Avrae for years and I'm glad to see it being integrated with DDB. Looking forward to non-SRD lookup from accounts that own the content 🙂

feral rain
How do cast spells using a higher spell slot
orchid walrus
There is a -l (lowercase L) argument on the cast command. Should allow you to cast at higher level.
Chaz: from my understanding this is a feature for future implementation.
Hobo: use “!attack list” to see what attacks were automatically created. If it shows there then use the 2h one. If you are talking about a versatile weapon and it doesn’t show you can use “!attack add” to add one for the 2h version.
whole root
My turn to ask a question: I've been having trouble adding a snippet to my serversnippets. What exactly am I doing wrong? Here is the snippet I'm using:
!serversnippet sneak {{dice=ceil(int(get('RogueLevel',level))/2)}} -d1 "{{dice}}d6" -f "Sneak Attack|Once per turn, you can deal an extra {{dice}}d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll."

So, during this Coronavirus thing, my players and I have discussed playing D&D online, and I just found out about The Avrae Bot, which sounds cool. I especially love the part where it can run encounters!
Quick question though, how does it run encounters, exactly? And since I have the Legendary Bundle on D&D Beyond, are all published monsters and homebrew monsters that I have on my account available to be put in combat?
young arch
Only the SRD ones so far, although you can create them as homebrew monsters via critterdb.
meager depot
SRD?

that was my guess, but short of telling her not to use homebrew, lol, I wasn't sure how to direct her to fix it (and figured y'all may want to see what's causing it to hopefully help Avrae parse it). Thanks for taking a look at it--I saw she marked it as a high priority bug, sorry about that 😅 pretty low priority, but we'd appreciate any guidance you can give!

I'll make sure to take a look at it soon - any issue that prevents a character sheet from being loaded is pretty high priority 😄

white harbor
I tried searching the channel but couldn't find an answer, so let's see if anyone else has come across this. My DM and I created a homebrew magic item (basically a variant of the Dagger of Venom created from transmuting the Spider Staff from LMoP). I'm able to attack with it using Avrae, but it's supposed to deal an additional 1d6 poison damage on a hit which doesn't show up in the attack output. Is Avrae capable of rolling the item's modifiers, or is that something that's just going to have to be rolled manually after the attack roll?

Hi, is there a secret way to enable Avrae posts on my Discord server to show up in the Discord OBS chat widget? I can get other bots like Sidekick to show dice roll results, but Avrae doesn't show at all
gusty egret
Neo, add it as a snippet.
lucid lichen
I'm not familiar with the widget
cinder dew
Discord streamkit widget: https://streamkit.discordapp.com/overlay
My goal is to use dndbeyond for character sheets, Discord for voice chat and dice rolls, plus some other TBD mapping program to show the combat grid. I would then use OBS to make a display with all of it together in a single view. Only thing tripping me up right now is that Avrae output isn't being picked up by the chat overlay but other discord chat text is.
