alright thanks

neon leaf Apr 16, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

Can i use Avrae to setup/ speak through NPCs?

gusty egret Apr 16, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

I believe that !echo or a well crafted !embed would work for that.

true brook Apr 16, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

I've seen my dm use an alias that sets up an embed with a name + picture in a header, then the text in the body

neon leaf Apr 16, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

oh ok, I think I get it

pine sun Apr 16, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

There is an alias called !say available on the dev server you can use to setup different speakers

true brook Apr 16, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

^ thats the one my dm uses

neon leaf Apr 16, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

@pine sun @true brook Thank you both, i found the google doc with all the dev alias and snippets so I should have more than enough information to get what was I was looking for and much more.

true brook Apr 16, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

awesome!

#

This is hands down an amazing help site! Hats off to everyone! I have learned a tonne from just reading all these posts!!!

fickle salmon Apr 17, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

It's why we do this.

viral vine Apr 17, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Planning on running a game soon using Avrae, D&D beyond and Google Draw as our VTT to continue with a home-brew campaign that was halted due to the current situation. This bot is a game-changer.

viscid kernel Apr 17, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

What exactly are you trying to do with it? 🤔

#

Hate to say it, but you might not want to share that here...

toxic hollow Apr 17, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

oh?

viscid kernel Apr 17, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

It’s all copyrighted material, which is why it was removed from Avrae to begin with.

toxic hollow Apr 17, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

ahh

viscid kernel Apr 17, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

That’s what the upcoming DDB integration is supposed to solve, though. Because it will only read the content you’ve purchased, then there’s no more copyright issue.

toxic hollow Apr 17, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

yee

#

im excited for it

viscid kernel Apr 17, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

Yeah. Can’t wait!

hidden meadow Apr 17, 2020, 7:51 AM

#

I'm wanting to give an Air Elemental Myrmidon encounter to my players but as it's not part of it in struggling on how to do it

#

I can do everything but attack, though the command I have is extremely long

supple jackal Apr 18, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

Is there an easy way to regain a single consumables, such as spell slots, if one needs to do a "do over" because of misstyped commands or something?

hushed lotus Apr 18, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

as there is.

#

for spell slots, !g ss (slot number) +/- (slots to gain or lose)

hallow juniper Apr 18, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

I just wasted 40 or so minutes trying to figure out why arcane archers don't work well with avrae because a player on my server refuses to play something else.
I couldn't figure out what gvar the fighter alias was pulling bm maneuvers from, let alone arcane archer shots.

I just told him to do his shots manually and wait for proper DDB/Avrae integration.

nimble fog Apr 18, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

can you use avrae to do a long rest?

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Yes. !game longrest or !g lr for short.

nimble fog Apr 18, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

okay thanks!

rain bough Apr 18, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

Avrae isn't recognizing a couple of spells properly. I'm playing a sorcerer and two spells (Chromatic Orb and Phantasmal Force) gets listed as homebrew and I can't cast them with bot commands. What gives?

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

FAQ 9 - Why can't I look up [feat, spell, race/subrace, subclass, etc.]?
Avrae in its current state only supports lookup of SRD content, which can be found here: http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/systems-reference-document-srd

This is why, for instance, !feat will currently only return Grappler, as it is the only feat in the SRD.

If you've purchased content on DDB, once the DDB-Avrae integration is complete (which should hopefully be Soon™️), you will be able to use the lookup commands (and any other SRD-locked commands) with content you're licensed to use.

⭐ You can now go to https://www.dndbeyond.com/account and link your Discord account with your Beyond account. Integration isn't actually finished yet, but if you link now, you'll have access as soon as its up and running. ⭐

hushed harbor Apr 18, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

Is there a way to get warlock spell slots to reset on a short rest?

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

!csettings srslots true

hushed harbor Apr 18, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

thank you

rain bough Apr 18, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

That didn't answer my question at all, but whatever.

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Chromatic Orb and Phantasmal Force are not SRD spells.

rain bough Apr 18, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Yeah okay. Thanks.

viscid kernel Apr 18, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

@rain bough Avrae only natively supports SRD content — “the free stuff”.

#

In the near future, you’ll be able to link it to your DDB account and access your paid content as well.

#

Until then, you can add your own spells over on the Avrae website.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/homebrew/spells

Avrae

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

runic wolf Apr 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Hello, I am having trouble with the trasferchar command. What am I supposed to input for <user>

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

The person you're trying to give the character to. Basically, @ them to give the character to them.

runic wolf Apr 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

thank you! i had tried @ ing them before, but i must not have done it properly

stoic hornet Apr 18, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

I made some snippets but the other users couldn't seem to use them. Is there a way to make them global or share the snippets?

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Yes. See use !servsnippet instead of !snippet on your server. You will need to be server owner or have a specialized role, which can be found in !help servsnippet

stoic hornet Apr 18, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

Thank you

frozen summit Apr 18, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Is there a way for Avare to reroll 1's per Great Weapon Fighting?

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

Yes, but it involves creating another attack for your character. You can use !attack add "<weapon name> (GWF)" -b strengthMod+proficiencyBonus -d <weapon dice>ro<3+{strengthMod} -desc "Great Weapon Fighting"

frozen summit Apr 18, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

Ok noted. Thank you for the help

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

Please substitute the <weapon name> and <weapon dice> with the correct values. One more thing, you'll have to use an attack phrase like !a "greatsword (GWF)" in order for the system to choose the right attack.

slow quail Apr 18, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

I think Avrae will soon be able (If not now) to do GWF automatically if you have it in your DDB character

#

Croebh submitted some code to be added

unkempt bramble Apr 18, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

The commands for levels setting for hit dice and class features and the command for short rest are broken

pine sun Apr 18, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

Those aren't commands, they're aliases which are custom scripts not built-in to the bot natively

fickle salmon Apr 18, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

The !level alias and the !sr alias? Have you copied the code correctly?

unkempt bramble Apr 18, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

I’m not the one that running the sever but they wear working before

pine sun Apr 18, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

How long ago?

#

Do you have a personal copy of either of these aliases? (checked by running !alias in #ddb-avrae-commands and seeing the list that comes up)

nimble fog Apr 18, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

is anyone else having problems with monsters in combat?

unkempt bramble Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

The problem seems to be the sever lost their gvar and that’s caused the lost of some aliases and ua

pine sun Apr 18, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

gvars are global. Unless they altered the alias to use a different gvar, it should still work

#

I would suggest getting a clean copy from the dev server just to be safe

unkempt bramble Apr 18, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Ok they fixed the problem with the level command

slow quail Apr 19, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

Not a command* an alias aka user made code

viscid kernel Apr 19, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

Which makes it hard for us to help with, because an alias could do anything. You’d have to get help from whoever created it.

#

Anyway...

#

@nimble fog What kind of “problems with monsters in combat”?

nimble fog Apr 19, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

I tried to use a monster in combat using the !<monster name> attack -t <player name> and it doesn't work

viscid kernel Apr 19, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

You have two options for monster attacks.

#

If it’s the monster’s turn in combat, you’d use !init attack <attack_name> -t <player_name>

#

(That command works for whoever the current combatant is: player, monster, or otherwise.)

#

Outside of combat, you can use !monster_attack <monster_name> <attack_name> -t <player_name>

#

So for a skeleton using a shortsword against player John...

!init attack shortsword -t John

(on the skeleton’s turn), or

!monster_attack skeleton shortsword -t John

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

Please note that the second command will not deduct the hit points from John. But John's player can use the !game hp command to modify his hit points.

nimble fog Apr 19, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

okay, I will try them out, thanks!

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

So i am thinking about addjng avrae to my D&D campaign. I want to have my players try it next session. I figure the best way for me to teach it is by trying it myself. Is there anyone who is willing to run 1 encounter with me, so i can get a sense of how the player comands work? I just dont eant to look like a jacka** trying to teach my players with no xp.

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

I guess I could... first, do you have a character loaded in Avrae?

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

I have a character sheet ready to go on dndb

#

should we jump into a gameroom down below?

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

Sure. #698994182059982958 looks free.

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

👍

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

As a dm what do i type to make a saving throw for a monster?

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

!monster_save <monster> <str/dex/con/int/wis/cha>

#

If you dinna want to type that massive command, it shortens to !ms

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

Thank you that is easier

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

Likewise the !monster_check command shortens to !mc

hushed lotus Apr 19, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

yeah, !ms <monster name> <stat>

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

and I am guessing for a player it would be: !check <stat>

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

!check <skill>, !save <stat>

hushed lotus Apr 19, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

or !check <stat> if you need a straight strength check instead, yeah

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

@fickle salmon any interest in helping me with putting together the cheat sheet? Or reviewing it when its done?

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cheatsheets/pc_combat.html is a good start

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

@fickle salmon My players will get over whelled with the link you shared so I got to make it stupid proof

#

@fickle salmon if not its cool

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Oh, so middle-school level. I'll take a look after your done. You don't have to ping me every time. I have this channel on signal every message.

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

HAHA yup a bunch of 30 something year old men that play at middle school level that makes

#

*sums it up

viscid kernel Apr 19, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

This was the cheatsheet our group used at the start:

Avrae Cheat Sheet
How do I do...

checks? !check perception / !c stealth
long rests? !game longrest (!g lr)
saves? !save str / !s wis
short rests? !game shortrest (!g s)

How do I see my...

attacks? !attack list (!a list) or !sheet
character? !game status (!g status) for things that change often (hp, spell slots, counters, etc.); !sheet for things that don’t (ability scores, attacks, spells, etc.)
feature counters? !customcounter list (!cc list) or !g status
hp? !game hp (!g hp) or !g status or !sheet
spells? !spellbook
spell slots? !game spellslots (!g ss) or !g status

#

But that was created after we’d already been playing a little, for the lesser-used commands they kept forgetting.

glossy sinew Apr 19, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

dose avrae auto update the char sheet from combat or is there a code for that ?

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

No, right now Avrae basically takes a picture of your DDB sheet and reads that picture to fill in the blanks in her database.

slow quail Apr 19, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

!update

hallow juniper Apr 19, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

@viscid kernel thanks for that, i made it into an alias

#

tame fulcrum Apr 19, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

sorry if this is obvious, but how do I add the healing from shortrests?

pine sun Apr 19, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

There is no built-in method for that. There is an alias (!sr) that you can use, which requires a little bit of set-up

tame fulcrum Apr 19, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

I see

#

thanks!

young arch Apr 19, 2020, 2:50 PM

how can i see all the commands

viscid kernel Apr 19, 2020, 3:17 PM

@fickle salmon !monster_attack will deduct hit points, as long as it is targeting someone in init

scenic brook Apr 19, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

New DM considering using Avrae here. When you link your char sheets on ddb do HP changes accounted for in the avrae sheet change the ddb sheet? Thanks!

#

I'm just scrolling up seeing this was just talked about. lmao nvm

fickle salmon Apr 19, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

Not yet. When the connection is made between DDB and Avrae there might be updates back and forth.

scenic brook Apr 19, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

Thanks!

How do I replace all 1s with 2s when I cast a spell?

viral vine Apr 20, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

How do I make a snippet that creates an attack for an off-hand strike? Say, a dagger strike in two-weapon fighting?? (just need to remove the Dex bonus and roll a straight d4).

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

!cast "spell name" mi2 for CC42.

whats CC42?

#

Thank you @fickle salmon

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

Sorry CrimsonChemist42, I abbreviated your name to answer questions faster.

whole eagle Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

ok thanks. But what if I try to cast with -i?

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

No problems.

whole eagle Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

which one do I type first?

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

Doesn't matter.

#

However, I made a slight error. It should be !cast "spell name" -i -mi 2

whole eagle Apr 20, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

thanks

viral vine Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

snippet still doesnt seem to work??

📎 unknown.png

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

Did you use !attack dagger offhand?

viral vine Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

!attack offhand then dagger....

wheat gardenBOT Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

Selection timed out or was cancelled.

viral vine Apr 20, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

A-HA! it's all in the wording....

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

A snippet is a means of adding supplemental arguments in one word.

viral vine Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

I am learning....now that I know how they work this will come in handy

runic peak Apr 20, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

Out of curiosity does Avrae have a way to use features such as A Celestial Warlocks Healing Light Feature? Or is that yet to be worked into it?

manic estuary Apr 20, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

There are no commands built in for any class features. You can make/find aliases that handle them though (not everything exists because it can be a lot of work to get some things working).

runic peak Apr 20, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

Alright, thanks for the help. Wasn't if it existed and I just didn't know how.

manic estuary Apr 20, 2020, 6:22 AM

#

If you join the Avrae Dev server, we have a whole bunch of handy aliases for common things.

runic peak Apr 20, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

Thank you for the heads up. I will be sure to check it out.

young arch Apr 20, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask...
But how do you guys usually handle features like that war cleric channel divinity? Do you look up the monster ac? Reroll? Or is there something else I should be doing?

true brook Apr 20, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

do you mean specifically on avrae or in general?

young arch Apr 20, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

On avrae

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

You can set a +10 bonus to attack with -b 10 in the attack string. This will not track the Channel Divinity being spent, however. To track both in a single command, you're going to need advanced concepts such as snippets and aliases.

true brook Apr 20, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

what's the best way to handle the idea of "you can choose to add this after you roll but before you know if you hit/miss?"

#

because avrae generally tells you immediately whether you hit or miss

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

That's because the game presumes there's a human running the dice handling.

young arch Apr 20, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

Hmm

#

Is there a way to set an attack roll? So the attack roll remains fixed, but not the bonuses (?)

fickle salmon Apr 20, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

There's a way to make an attack roll automatically hit, if that would make a difference. If you just want the damage to be applied, add a hit into another roll and call it done.

young arch Apr 20, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

Ahh okay

#

Thanks!

slow quail Apr 20, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Yeah sadly avrae doesn't have a stage between "hitting" and "damage", thus a bit of manual work needs to be done

sand lichen Apr 20, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

question: is there a complete list of Avrae commands? as in saving throws and such

gusty egret Apr 20, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

You can use !help in #ddb-avrae-commands to have it sent to you.

shy tinsel Apr 20, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

Is there a way to set your role as GM so you can display the whole monster sheet? I noticed I can do it in private chat with the bot but not in a channel on my discord server.

#

(I tried to access the avrae discord but they won't accept my cell phone number, sad trombone)

viscid kernel Apr 20, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

Avrae actually uses Discord roles.

shy tinsel Apr 20, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Very cool, so do i need to make a DungeonMaster Role?

viscid kernel Apr 20, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Yup 👍

#

No special permissions or anything. It's just the name that matters.

shy tinsel Apr 20, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Awesome, did I miss docs on some of this or is this just a known thing?

viscid kernel Apr 20, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

You know, I'm not sure. Their docs aren't great. 😂

shy tinsel Apr 20, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Fair enough, thanks for the info! So other than that role I am guessing it treats everyone else as player?

viscid kernel Apr 20, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Correct

shy tinsel Apr 20, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

Oh now you are telling me this I see that they have this in the docs...

📎 unknown.png

#

Didn't click until you showed me the light.

viscid kernel Apr 20, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

Ah! That's where it was!

long hemlock Apr 21, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

Huh, I never knew it looked for a role, that's interesting!

pine sun Apr 21, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

As a note: Those roles don't require any special permissions. Avrae just looks for the name of the role

viral vine Apr 21, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

Interesting. So if I look up a monster, can my players see that too? I am guessing anything on the main server can be seen by players?

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

Yep. Unless you do it in a privated channel or even better in DMs to Avrae. (I never close my DMs to Avrae.)

urban onyx Apr 21, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

Can Avrae read the other pages of a character sheet? Like equip page, description page, etc...

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

It depends. Some information, such as Traits, Ideals, Bonds and Flaws are usually ignored. It will look at certain sheet's character portraits however.

#

Equipped items that add attacks or AC will be accounted for.

urban onyx Apr 21, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

So, I can’t read a character’s backstory then

#

Ok

iron yoke Apr 21, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

Generally yes

#

However this varies across sheets

#

And gets into the wildly complex territory that I frequently abuse for my own gains

#

But unless you're trying to do something like implement Pathfinder in Avrae, you won't really need it at all lol

manic estuary Apr 21, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

What Doge means, is that you can generally call the Description of a character, but not the Backstory. So you can have some details called in, but not more than that.

iron yoke Apr 21, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Actually no

#

DiceCloud returns into the Background cell where you fill in your background, which is a typical place to put backstory that I've seen

#

And GSheet has a cell to put your background, as intended, but does not return stuff in the backstory section

#

And beyond?
No idea, beyond is weird

#

But on all accounts, unless you need to do something weird, I would rely on a specific thing generally storying backstory lol

manic estuary Apr 21, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Granted, I don't use dicecloud, but I'm pretty sure it's the descriptive text that gets pulled in. It definitely is what shows up when you do !desc.
And gsheet puts together a !desc based on your vitals/etc. that you enter in.
I'm pretty sure Beyond also has a spot for description.
So even if that's not what you meant, that's how it is. And talking about implementing other systems and adapting things to other purposes isn't helping to clarify anything.

In Gsheet 2.1, copy-paste your image's URL in cell C176.

This may have been asked before, but when I cue up a monster, can my players see that sheet?

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Cue up? If you have the DM Discord role, any monsters you look up in public channels with the !monster lookup can be seen.
If you're talking about when loading in !init madd, the default is that stats are hidden.

viral vine Apr 21, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

So I guess I could have a private channel with Avrae so I can see stats and grab tokens so my players cannot see the stats

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2020, 11:58 PM

It's called DM with Avrae.

Go to avrae.io, log in with your Discord account, click on Homebrew> Spells

It should hopefully be Soon™️. When it's done, you will be able to use the lookup commands (and any other SRD-locked commands) with content you're licensed to use.

⭐ You can now go to https://www.dndbeyond.com/account and link your Discord account with your Beyond account. Integration isn't actually finished yet, but if you link now, you'll have access as soon as its up and running. ⭐

Out of curiosity will there be any way to interact with Magic Items directly from D&D Beyond as a future feature for loot and such? It would be really cool to be able to create or sub a custom item and it immediately falls into the loot pool.

for some reason, Avrae isn't adding Charisma mod to damage for Eldritch Blast either. Yes, the warlock in question has Agonizing Blast invocation.

pine sun Apr 23, 2020, 4:39 AM

Avrae doesn't look at invocations. You have to add it by using -d <charismaMod> when you cast it

how do you roll for initiative

If you are using Avrae's init tracker, use !init join to join with your active character

How would I use my paladin smite using the bot?

whole root Apr 24, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

You can add the amount of damage to your regular attack roll,by adding -d xd8 for however many extra smite dice you are using and then subtract the spell slot manually by using !g ss "level of spell slot" -1
The alternative to that is an alias that automatically rolls the damage and subtracts the spell slot. I have posted it in #ddb-avrae-commands . To use it, simply copy and paste it to Avrae DMs without the header and use !smite help t get a rundown on how exactly it works

Is there somewhere with more examples of using Automation scripts? I'm trying to figure out how to make a homebrew spell give the caster resistance to damage types and another to say the target is charmed on a failed wisdom save. I have not been able to do this. Of course, once I have this, I will be adding other spells, but these are the two I started with.

fickle salmon Apr 24, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

The first one is not hard. You just have to make automation with Caster as the target; ieffect as the sub-menu.

fickle salmon Apr 24, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

I don't know if this is what you're looking for @supple jackal but like this:

Acid Resistance.png

supple jackal Apr 24, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

Yup. That's what I'm looking for. More examples of how to actually implement different spell effects.

#

So if the spell is resist Bludgeoning, Slashing, Piercing. Would that be three iEffects, or is there someway to put multiple resistances on one effect? And I would just type "-resist bludgeoning" etc. in each iEffect?

fickle salmon Apr 24, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

-resist bludgeoning -resist piercing -resist slashing all in one effect.

supple jackal Apr 24, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Cool. Now to test

#

@fickle salmon So that seems to work for the resistances, but the durations seems to be off. A duration of "1" with Ticks on End clicked, and the duration says "Until the end of the turn", unchecking "Ticks on End" and it says the start of next turn, and putting "2" in duration, and I get Duration two rounds. How would I make it "Until the end of the next turn"?

fickle salmon Apr 24, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

Let me give it a test...

supple jackal Apr 25, 2020, 12:04 AM

!game shortrest or !g sr for a short rest. This will not spend any hit dice, merely reset any counters set up to reset on a short rest.
!game longrest or !g lr for a long rest. This will reset your death saves, spell slots, and hit points back to full.

Hi, question, sorry if it's obvious, but how do you guys usually handle animal companion? Should I make a monster in critter db?

fickle salmon Apr 27, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

That's one way. The other is a Dicecloud sheet, but that has a steep learning curve.

young arch Apr 27, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

I though dice cloud are for characters (?)

fickle salmon Apr 27, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

You could build a "character" for your animal companion.

young arch Apr 27, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

then I have 2 characters?

fickle salmon Apr 27, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

Yeah, it's a lot of switching back and forth. I've never played a animal companion character, so never had to deal with that.

young arch Apr 27, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

I see...

#

thanks!

manic estuary Apr 27, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

You could also make a critterdb bestiary for your animal companion, so you'd be able to do !monster_check <companion> <check> instead of having to switch to them, do the check, and switch back.

young arch Apr 27, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

okay ^^

#

I think I'll go the critterdb route

long hemlock Apr 27, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

@viscid kernel Moving the discussion here because it's more appropriate for the topic. We're keeping our rolling channel in initiative and using !i reroll to save time, but that doesn't take advantage into account. I've been told that if I could add it to the character sheet it would probably work, which is why I was asking whether there was a way to add it to the sheet manually.

viscid kernel Apr 27, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

@long hemlock Doesn't seem to work. I just created a character here and gave them init advantage through a custom feat (note the "A" on the initiative score). The init check in #ddb-avrae-commands did not roll with advantage, though. :/
https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/spamandtuna/characters/27613319

#

You could probably work up an alias that would handle things for you though... 🤔

long hemlock Apr 27, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

Avrae doesn't automatically take feats into account, so that wouldn't work anyway. The !manage alias can add feats, but I'm not sure whether that works with homebrew feats.

#

If I recall correctly, it also doesn't automatically consider the benefits of feats added with !manage, so even going that route wouldn't work.

#

Our current solution is rerolling, then having whoever has advantage roll another initiative check and using -p # if the second roll is higher. I 'm still trying to work out how an alias to do that sort of thing would work, but I haven't come up with anything.

iron yoke Apr 27, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

I believe it does work on sheets other than DDB

long hemlock Apr 27, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

That's what I've heard.

iron yoke Apr 27, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

It's kinda funny to me how DDB is probably the least supported sheet out of the 3 currently lol

#

But that isn't really the fault of anyone, tbh
D&DBeyond wasn't initially designed for that kind of use case, while the others worked on a framework which already supported or was going to support APIs in the future anyways

#

And the support of DDB will only get better now that the teams are working together on the Engine(™️?) and the integration overall

#

While I may have moved away from D&DBeyond in favor of Dicecloud or GSheet, I am definitely looking forward to being able to use my paid content on Avrae lol

long hemlock Apr 27, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

Really? That's kind of ironic lol.

#

I'm definitely looking forward to the new framework and full Avrae integration, especially since I have the legendary bundle and master subscription. Workarounds are fine for now, but once that's up and running it will be super helpful.

iron yoke Apr 27, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

Same though lol

#

Tbh I mainly have the legendary bundle for my players rather than myself

#

But I do love DDB for lookup lol

long hemlock Apr 27, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

That's my main reason for it too, but I certainly love the quick lookup and the unlimited character slots.

iron yoke Apr 27, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

Yep

fickle salmon Apr 27, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

Agreed, I make DDB my alpha testing area for character creation. Any worth playing in an online game I then transfer into another format.

i have a FAQ that i cant really find so bare with me. im just starting out my campaign on discord and have avrae and all that. but i dont understant the SRD thing. im running curse of strahd and i do understand that that content isnt available in the SRD to use but is there a way to get that in there? ive bought the campaign book and the PHB and the monster manual and all that i cant figure out how to plug in my DDB account into avrae so it can access that. thank you!!

fickle salmon Apr 27, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

It's not connected yet.

last ravine Apr 27, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

thats what i thought. whats all of this that im seeing about connecting your DDB to discord. i thought i saw something about buying the digital books on DDB then youre able to access them after your party connects to your DDB campaign?

fickle salmon Apr 27, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

It's being built. Right now, all you can do is link your DDB account to Discord at https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

how do you switch between characters

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

!char <character>

strange salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Is there a way for Avrae to pull up a picture of a monster? I know it has the small token when you pull up the full monster but I'm wondering if you can like just get the token,

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

!token <SRD monster>

strange salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

Okay, awesome,

urban basin Apr 28, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

so what all do I do when adding a new attack to avrea?

#

I put in the name

#

what do I do with "choose effect to add"?

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

For a single target attack, you choose Add attack and damage (Preset).

urban basin Apr 28, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

is that all?

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

Then click on the plus on the right side.

urban basin Apr 28, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

oki

#

it says "target" with an arrow on the right

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

You'll get a box that says target, and it opens up further when you hit the arrow.

urban basin Apr 28, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

yup

#

what do I do with all that

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

Keep opening up until you find the damage field.

urban basin Apr 28, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

found it

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Set the damage dice and type there.

urban basin Apr 28, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

i changed on hit to 1d4[slashing]

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

I think all that's left is to uncheck the Custom Attack Bonus and save.

urban basin Apr 28, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

okay

#

i'll test it out

viscid kernel Apr 28, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

For a simple attack like that, I find it easier just to add it here in Discord.

!attack add knife -b 5 -d 1d4[slashing]

#

But adding through the UI is great for something like a poisoned knife, where it deals extra damage if they also fail a save.

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

Exactly. Like the Staff of the Adder attack.

craggy hazel Apr 28, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

I'm not really sure what's wrong with Avrae for us atm. It wont roll !d20 or any damage. It works perfectly fine on my server, but on another server it won't roll those. It will still roll ability checks fine, but specifically not !d20 or any damage. I'm not sure what's wrong and I've tried kicking the bot and re-inviting twice. I've also checked the servers permissions and it has everything it needs.

fickle salmon Apr 28, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

!d20 is not a command that Avrae knows. !roll d20 should work.

craggy hazel Apr 28, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

Oh I see, another bot was rolling that and it got mixed up. I never noticed that, I feel stupid lmfao, thank you 😂

viscid kernel Apr 28, 2020, 3:56 PM

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 4:14 PM

#

Dashboard is arguable the best way to add most things to Avrae that your sheets can't add inherently.

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

hey y'all! new to avrae, playing around with it. does anyone know how to use a companion attack?

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

You either need to use a built in SRD monster, make a homebrew monster on CritterDB, or make another sheet for them

#

For the first two options

!ma <monster> <attack>

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

it's a srd monster (giant wolf spider), but !attack just gives me melee/ranged options. how do i use the companion feature, or is that why i need to add it as a separate sheet?

#

i assume !ma wouldn't account for companion bonuses

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

Avrae doesnt inherently work like that, if you want to use !a youd need to add the attack to your character that has the same stats

!ma "giant wolf spider" <attack name>

#

But yes

#

It won't do bonuses, BUT

#

You can do -b and -d for extra attack and damage

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

so, since it's getting the specs from the attack portion of the character sheet, i'll have the same issue with druid wildshapes?

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

Yes and no, it is similar to it should you use the !wildshapealias on the dev server too for example

#

(If in init, you can do !i a)

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

if i did !ma "giant wolf spider" bite b5 d4, would it continue to use those bonuses, or would i have to "edit" the spider's stats to make the bonuses permanent?

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

If you wanted to do it permanently you'd need a Homebrew spider or add an effect to the spider

!ma "giant wolf spider" bite -b 5 -d 4 is the command

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

ah, ok. does avrae or discord save the homebrew or would i/he have to do that each week?

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

Neither, for homebrew you need critterdb

#

(Monsters there only)

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

is critterdb another bot?

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

A site

#

That you load hb monsters from into avrae

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

ok, i looked that up. can't pull from ddb homebrews yet?

slow quail Apr 28, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

Nope

spice wasp Apr 28, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

So, I'm trying to run a dnd group with discord and when they linked their accounts and try to make a roll it says that there is no dice to roll, anyone have any suggestions to help it?

fickle salmon Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

Did they use the !beyond command to copy their sheets into Avrae?

pine sun Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

Did they upload their characters?

celest fjord Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

yes

pine sun Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

What kind of roll are they making?

#

like, what's the command?

wheat gardenBOT Apr 30, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Flow of the River (River) makes a Persuasion check!

1d20 (5) + 2 = 7

celest fjord Apr 30, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

whoops

#

! check persuasion

fickle salmon Apr 30, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

OK, so it's not a lack of character being loaded. At least on your part.

celest fjord Apr 30, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

That's for a different campaign, for the roll the person is making it keeps coming up no dice to be rolled even though the character was uploaded

pine sun Apr 30, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

What happens when they run !char?

celest fjord Apr 30, 2020, 2:55 AM

Never mind I figured it out they were making the command wrong, but thank you everyone!

avrae hates me

i don't know how the pseudo random number generator works

but it consistently gives me awful results

#

could it be just luck?

manic estuary Apr 30, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

It is just luck.

#

The RNG is based off the Mersenne Twister algorithm seeded by random data whitenoise over the disk - while technically a PRNG, it is still more fair than even physical dice

buoyant yarrow Apr 30, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

incredible

#

and thanks for taking it seriously

#

in a campaign i am

#

there's 1 player pull consistent high results and having nat 20s in a row

#

meanwhile

#

every investigation i attempt is a low result, unless once in a blue moon when i investigate something useless just to be thorough

#

i asked the dm to accept me rolling on beyond20's VTT over a stream

cus using avrae would make my character useless in the game and make me quit dnd

Gambler's Fallacy

~~ ~~
The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy or the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the mistaken belief that, if something happens more frequently than normal during a given period, it will happen less frequently in the future. It may also be stated as the belief that, if something happens less frequently than normal during a given period, it will happen more frequently in the future. In situations where the outcome being observed is truly random and consists of independent trials of a random process, this belief is false. The fallacy can arise in many situations, but is most strongly associated with gambling, where it is common among players.

An example of a retrospective gambler's fallacy would be to observe multiple successive "heads" on a coin toss and conclude from this that the previously unknown flip was "tails"

pine sun Apr 30, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

A yes, I've found it in the commands list. Thanks!

lucid lichen Apr 30, 2020, 4:40 PM

west grove May 1, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

I'm not sure if anyone else has ever wanted to do this, but... is there a way to unload a character sheet without deleting the sheet from my list? I've been asking around for a few days, and I'm not sure this functionality exists.

viscid kernel May 1, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

What is it you’re trying to accomplish by that?

manic estuary May 1, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

The closest you can get is importing a character you don't want and deleting that one. You'll then have no character active.

#

There's also no purpose in having no character active though.

west grove May 1, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

@viscid kernel I'm trying to accomplish having no sheet loaded for myself. As to why - I'm new to DMing, and pretty new to using Avrae too, and when I make a mistake (like forgetting to put the init at the front) it'll default to using my most recently loaded character - which can be pretty distracting in the middle of a combat that doesn't even include my PC at all. @manic estuary When used perfectly, this won't be an issue ever, but as I'm learning... I've solved this by simply deleting the character from my sheets, which just requires me to load it from the link again.

manic estuary May 1, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

You won't learn if mistakes don't matter.

west grove May 1, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Wow.

#

That's a really helpful position.

#

smh

manic estuary May 1, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

I don't mean it to be dismissive, but it's true that we learn from our mistakes.

#

hybrid lodge May 2, 2020, 7:36 AM

#

Is there a way to use one monster attack command to roll multiple different types of attacks at once? I've recently started trying to use it for quickly rolling attacks from undead controlled by a necromancer, but I got stuck on a wight's Multiattack. Could I roll one attack each with the wight's longsword and Life Drain with a single command or would I need to break it up into two?

pine sun May 2, 2020, 7:40 AM

#

The easiest way is to do it seperately

#

You could do a !multiline, but I wouldn't reccomend it

hybrid lodge May 2, 2020, 7:42 AM

#

I see. Well, it is an option I forgot about, so thanks!

hybrid lodge May 2, 2020, 8:17 AM

#

Also what's the specific syntax for having the wight use its longsword two handed so I don't have to keep confirming that's the one I mean?

pine sun May 2, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

!ma Wight "Longsword (2H)" or !ma Wight 2H for short

If you've crafted the tome spells correctly in Avrae's Dashboard, they should cast the same way as any other SRD spell.

sturdy temple May 2, 2020, 1:29 PM

It opens a multiple choice window without the spells I actually want when I try to cast.

fickle salmon May 2, 2020, 5:30 PM

Avrae does not natively support any class features; however, there are many ways to add the effects of raging.

pallid depot May 2, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

Oh i see what can i do ?

fickle salmon May 2, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

The simplest to do, yet hardest to remember, is to add the -d 2 tag to every attack you make while raging.

pallid depot May 2, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

And what about resistance to slashing piercing bludgeoning

#

How do I add that ?

fickle salmon May 2, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

That depends on whether you're using !init or not. If you are, you use !i effect "<character name>" "Rage" -d 2 -resist bludgeoning -resist piercing -resist slashing. (Which I would make into an alias.) If you aren't in !init, just halve the damage before using !g hp to adjust your hit points.

#

And if you drop rage before the combat is over, you remove the effect with !i re "<character name>" Rage

fickle salmon May 4, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Did you equip the rapier and other items on your character sheet? Avrae doesn't recognize unequipped equipment.

viscid kernel May 4, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

Yeah, you've only got the one attack set up is the problem.

#

On your DDB character sheet, go to the equipment tab and click the checkbox next to your weapons. Then come back, do an !update and try again.

#

Alternatively, you can add it directly in Avrae. Try !help attack add for instructions.

quartz condor May 5, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

how do you set a character? im asking because !char says i dont have one

orchid walrus May 5, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

!char <name> to change active character. if you don’t have a char loaded you will have to load one. More info at !help

viscid kernel May 5, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

Since this is #ddb-avrae-help, I’ll assume you’re using DDB. First copy the share link for your character sheet, then use !beyond <url>

compact schooner May 5, 2020, 6:38 PM

Does anyone know if when avrae and beyond are fully integrated will dms who have the subscription still be able to share with players and have it show up on discord?

Players who have access to content through content sharing on DDB will be able to view it in Avrae

#

Is there an avrae command for lay on hands - paladin skill?

slow quail May 6, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

There are no base commands for most classes, as well as hit dice

#

But on the dev server there is an alias named !sr and !hd which can take care of that

#

And On the dev Server I have my alias for lay on hands

I'm trying to set up a custom counter for a fighter's superiority dice but can't figure it out. !create_cc(superiority dice, minVal=None, maxVal=4, reset='short', dispType='bubble' This doesn't work, should it or am I doing this wrong?

whole root May 7, 2020, 2:34 PM

!cc create "Superiority Dice" -min 0 -max 4 -reset short -type bubble

Try that, I think that's the corect way to do it

tribal ice May 7, 2020, 10:40 PM

wow i just was impressed to find out that this works like in a calculator:
!r 3*(1d4 +1) if the d4 rolled a 2 this shows a result of 9. pretty neat. but not what i was looking for.
is there a build-in way to roll several dice with a multiplier added to each roll in one command? that would be super usefull like when you have for example magic missile id like to roll 3 times 1d4 and add +1 to ever roll.
or when you have a dis-/advantage and you want to roll 2 times with a multiplier added to each roll

#

i mean sure i could just roll 3d4 and add +1 to each number in my head. but still i wonder if there is nothing build-in

fossil elm May 7, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

!r adv d20 + 5 seems to work

pine sun May 7, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

Magic Missile, per RAW, rolls only once for all the missiles' damage

#

but there is adv/dis for advantage or disadvantage and !rr for multirolls

fossil elm May 7, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

!rr 3 d4+1

#

indeed

#

@tribal ice That may be what you're looking for

tribal ice May 7, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

@fossil elm @pine sun Thank you thats awesome

#

all of it the adv / dis is also great

silent lotus May 8, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate channel for this but I found something that might be a glitch, idk if it was intentional but the avrae bot doesn't show ice knife cause it's not what WOTC offers for free but they show it in DDB even though I haven't gotten any bundles yet

#

Just figured to pass this along, maybe it's intentional but who knows

mental citrus May 8, 2020, 7:42 AM

#

Correct - Avrae currently only displays SRD content while the website displays all free content. There's an update coming very soon that makes all free content available on the website available to everyone in Avrae

silent lotus May 8, 2020, 7:44 AM

Ahh okay, though it was a little funny that DDB shows ice knife but avrae doesn't

Dont know if this is the right place for this question but how do you activate a flame tounge in avare?

A flame-tongue weapon? Do you mean how do you apply the fire damage?

cedar spruce May 8, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Yes

viscid kernel May 8, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

@orchid walrus You can add the fire damage as part of the attack command, like so:
!attack longsword -d 2d6[fire]

orchid walrus May 8, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

@cedar spruce see above

viscid kernel May 8, 2020, 6:50 PM

D’oh! Wrong tag. Sorry.

Anyway, to make things easier, you can also pack that into a snippet.

#

Thxs both of you

!snippet ft -d 2d6[fire]

And then use that in the attack instead.

!attack longsword ft

Is there a rough timeline of getting non-SRD content (spells, feats, items, etc) you own on DDB into Avrae? I'm expecting a long wait and that's fine, but I'm curious if that's months away, years away, or what

fickle salmon May 8, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

Well, let me test something....

#

As of thirty minutes ago, EE and some UA content that has been licensed by D&D Beyond is now available in Avrae.

@gusty egret thanks, is there a good way to do surprise rounds prior to combat

gusty egret May 8, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

There are no surprise rounds. Per https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/combat#Surprise You simply cannot take an action, nor movement on your first turn, nor can you take a reaction until after that first turn.

spare steeple May 8, 2020, 9:04 PM

@gusty egret is there an extended documentation for avrae commands somewhere?

gusty egret May 8, 2020, 9:05 PM

Yes at !help and https://avare.io/

I find that is sometimes limiting though

spare steeple May 9, 2020, 1:17 AM

So I've added a monster to combat let's say a goblin, how can I see what options it has for actions; attacks/spells/special actions etc

fickle salmon May 9, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Well, you can usually get a lot of that from the monster block. And if you don't want your players seeing what they're going to be facing, just DM Avrae and keep the stat block there.

grand shore May 9, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Is there any way that I can import my homebrew items to avrae straight from the dndbeyond?

hushed lotus May 9, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

If they're just items instead of monsters, it should read it like any other item

grand shore May 9, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

Meaning? Should I just copy paste the item in Avrae's Dashboard?

hushed lotus May 9, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

you don't need to, if they're just items. or at least, you shouldn't need to

grand shore May 9, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

Thing is, I created them in DnDBeyond, but can't find a way to import them to Avrae.

hushed lotus May 9, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

if they are in your character sheet

#

they will be put into Avrae when a character has them

#

you don't have to put anything into avrae for those items

grand shore May 9, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

I am a DM and want to include the items in Avrae homebrew pack.

#

These items do not belong to a character yet

#

but I guess, I can just give the items to the PC through DnDBeyond and Avrae will find them that way.

hushed lotus May 9, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

exactly.

#

the only thing Avrae imports (to my understanding at least) is Monsters (via bestiaries from critterdb), spells (via tomes on the dashboard), and character sheets

grand shore May 9, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

Good to know, thanks alot

viscid kernel May 9, 2020, 3:06 PM

@fickle salmon could you give me an example command of a lookup block for a goblin, thnks

!monster goblin will give the stat block for the SRD goblin. (Or ask for clarification if more than one match occurs.)
!ma goblin <attack> will make an attack that's on the goblin's stat block.
!mc goblin <skill> will make a skill check for the goblin.
!ms goblin <stat> will roll a saving throw for the goblin.

How do a I add a monster in avrae that isn't quite standard? Like a kobold with a +1 dagger? Or with a shield?

slow quail May 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

You'd have to homebrew them in via CritterDB at this time

#

Or use a kobold and then for their attacks !ma kobold dagger -b +1 -d +1 and change their AC with !i opt

half schooner May 10, 2020, 3:48 AM

do we know if the avrae link will only access what we have ourselves purchased, or will it also allow us to access what we have through content sharing?

You will be able to access what you have available to content sharing when that feature is added.

iron yoke May 10, 2020, 6:46 PM

The easy rule of thumb is that if you can view it on D&DBeyond in general, then you can access it in Avrae

spare steeple May 10, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

It's there a way to see what I have in my Inventory; equipment, currency, etc? Based on my DnD beyond sheet

slow quail May 10, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Nope, Avrae doesn't look at your inventory

#

There is an alias on the Dev Server named !bag but that is still independent of your sheet

main night May 10, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

For running combat and the init system, I have tried multiple different ways to target specific mobs with attacks but haven't figured it out, and searched all over. Example is a bar room fight with 4 commoners. I've tried CO1, CO2, etc as avrae assigns them but when attacks happen from my players it just attacks the same commoner

viscid kernel May 10, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

!attack <name> -t CO1 -t CO2

slow quail May 10, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

-t = target

#

But if you want whoever in INIT to fight

#

!i a <attack name> -t target

#

!i a uses whoever's turn it is in the tracker

main night May 11, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Thanks I will try that again. When I was testing with the players. One would attack CO1, then the other would type the command line to attack CO2....but when dmg is applied it was applying to CO1. I will run a few more tests, maybe user error on my players parts

#

Thank you kindly again

pine sun May 11, 2020, 1:15 AM

mint summit May 11, 2020, 4:10 PM

Is there an easier way to attack with a longsword with 2 hands? I'm using a +2 longsword and hate writing out !a 2-handed longsword since I'm never attacking with only 1 hand. Can I somehow remove the one handed option and let !a longsword default to two-handed?

fickle salmon May 11, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

You can delete the attacks that automatically populate in Avrae, and then re-add them with better names, but you may have to redo that every time you !update your sheet.

mint summit May 11, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

How do I do that then? It sounds like the thing I'm looking for and if it comes with extra work I'll just have to take it

fickle salmon May 11, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

!attack delete 2-handed, then !a delete longsword to remove them, the !attack add "longsword, +2" -b strengthBonus+proficiencyBonus+2 -d 1d10+{strengthBonus+2}[magical slashing] -desc "Two-handed versatile"

viscid kernel May 11, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

If you want to stop !update from bringing them back, just unequip the items in DDB.

mint summit May 11, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

I can't get it to work, only receiving 'There are no choices to select from.'

#

When using !attack delete 2-handed that is. !a delete longsword doesn't work either

viscid kernel May 11, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

Huh. Just tried it myself and yeah, it seems you can’t delete attacks imported from DDB.

#

So the solution would be to remove them in DDB and !update

#

Then manually add the attacks in Avrae.

mint summit May 11, 2020, 5:55 PM

Got it to work, thanks!

I've added so many aliases and snippets to avrae I'm not sure what's new and what's not with this feature.

Basically, any paid content you have on DDB (spells, monsters, etc.) can now be accessed in Avrae.

hallow juniper May 11, 2020, 6:35 PM

yeah but at this stage Avrae's appeal to me is more automation than full content

I mean...

#

You get more automated spells?

#

More monsters you can automatically add to combat?

Ok, I thought so. I have the MM monsters from CritterDB but would love to buy the spells from DDB and use them in my campaign.

viscid kernel May 11, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

@limber wind Yeah, it does work. Just tried it with a CritterDB monster and the paid spell Gift of Alacrity.

Awesome! Thanks so much.

Has anyone had any luck setting up an alias and multiline attack? This multiline command works on it's own but I get nothing back when I run it (not even an error prompt:
!alias MainMainOff "!multiline !a Quarterstaff 1 !a Quarterstaff 1 !a Unarmed"

fickle salmon May 11, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

Take out the quotes, and remove the ! from in front of multiline.

analog gyro May 11, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

That just makes one Quarterstaff attack happen.

fickle salmon May 11, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

Ok. Before each of the remaining ! hit Shift-Enter.

analog gyro May 11, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

Ah the line spacing worked. Thank you!

buoyant raft May 11, 2020, 11:06 PM

Dynamic and hidden ini is the best,
Store char data in a gvar, and pull from it to make an dm-exlusive combat, which inturn writes back the ini to some sort of session gvar and then players call an alias to pass turns to the next one in line, without ever seeing the whole ini^^

fickle salmon May 11, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

?

buoyant raft May 11, 2020, 11:13 PM

Just as a random comment to the above striked through statment about games without init^^

how do i unsubscribe from a tome?

viscid kernel May 12, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

!tome unsubscribe <name>

urban onyx May 12, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

how do I tell avrae I wanna use a class feature, blood hunter´s rite of flame, for instance

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

you need to have an alias for it.

#

unfortunately, I do not have one on hand for blood hunters... sorry

#

meanwhile, I'm trying to get rid of some bestiaries I have (thanks to the recent Subscriber Alpha for Beyond integration into Avrae), and uh... I can't seem to get rid of the bestiaries even using the bestiary IDs.

viscid kernel May 12, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

Using !bestiary delete <name> ?

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

yeah, it just keeps trying to use them instead

#

huh

#

and now it works.

sage root May 12, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

is there a way to get avrae to delete its messages? for example if you made a few rolls that weren't necessary and wanted to clean up the chat, and didn't have mod control on the server to delete the messages manually

orchid walrus May 12, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

I dont believe that is built in. a few servers im on use another bot to help prune messages and keep things tidy.

urban onyx May 12, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

thanks @hushed lotus

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

np friend.

fickle salmon May 12, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Agreed. I know Avrae is supposed to have the 'Manage Message' permission, but there is no command to have her clean up her own messages. Of course, if there was one, people would find a way to abuse it.

sage root May 12, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

maybe if the user origin of a message was recorded and only that user could cause avrae to delete messages tagged with their name, but it's not that important

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

is there a way to have a tome be applied to an entire server? because everywhere except ONE server, I can cast Fire Bolt without issue, but on this one server, if I cast Fire Bolt, I get the original, a homebrew version, and Phantasmal Force for some reason??

gusty egret May 12, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

You really should read !help tome with all the questions you have on it.

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

The problem is it doesn't say if it can be applied to a server

#

I have 0 tomes personally

#

yet homebrew spells are coming up in only one specific server

#

so is it even POSSIBLE, or is Avrae glitched out?

pine sun May 12, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

Sounds like that server has a server tome

#

!tome server list

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

so it is possible.

#

okay, that's what I needed.

pine sun May 12, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

also, are you using !cast Fire Bolt or !cast "Fire Bolt"?

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

doing !cast Fire Bolt because I don't have any personal tomes, and I never knew server tomes were possible.

pine sun May 12, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

that's why you're getting a choice of Phantasmal Force

#

use quotes for multi-word names

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

How, Phantasmal Force has literally 0 to do with Fire, or Bolt

pine sun May 12, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

or don't use quotes then

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

and also, it was still a homebrew spell version of it

#

I'm just saying, if multiple spells have the same words in it, that's one thing, but it makes no sense for Avrae to be pulling Phantasmal Force from Fire Bolt...

gusty egret May 12, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

It searched the text of the spell I'll bet, found fire in it.

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

...kay, that makes a bit more sense. still dumb since it should only be pulling from names too, but whatever. XD

gusty egret May 12, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

Why should it only pull from names?

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

because you're specifically telling it "Cast this spell I am naming because this is the spell I'm trying to cast"

#

doing !spell searches is one thing, but !cast <spell name> should only be pulling from names.

gusty egret May 12, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

I know I want to cast that spell with the fire, can't remember the name. It finds it for me.

hushed lotus May 12, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

in which case cool... it pulls spells with "Fire" in the name

gusty egret May 12, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

Not every spell with fire has fire in its name.

fickle salmon May 12, 2020, 2:18 PM

OK, getting the characters loaded is a good step. Now you have the option to run !attack list to see your attacks, !check <skill> to run a skill check, !save <stat> to make a saving throw. If you have more questions about running a combat with your characters, start with reading !help init.

Hi. I linked my ddb account and discord and I tried "!ddb" but avrae says the two are not connected. What am I doing wrong here?

pine sun May 12, 2020, 7:01 PM

How soon did you try it? It can take up to 15 minutes or so based on caching times

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

Does anyone know if the DDB/Avrae linkage allows for content sharing yet?

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

Yes. If you’re a DDB subscriber, any content shared with you will be accessible in Avrae.

#

Eventually that feature will roll out to non-subscribers as well.

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

I'm not sure that is what I am asking precisely. I have a group of players who are using my dsicord server and we have a DNDBeyond campaign that the characters are located in. If they are playing on my server will they be able to leverage my campaign shared content or am I the only one with access at this time to my content? I have a lot of content, they have very little. Some are subscribers on their own but none have as much content as I do.

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

At this moment, DDB content linking is in early access and available to subscribers only.

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

wait - I'm re-reading what you said.

#

SO if they are subscribers - and I share with them, they should see my content

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

Bingo

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

but if they are not subscribers they won't see it. and it doesn't matter which discord they are on - if I share to them they can use it if they are a subscriber.

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

Anyone who has an active DDB subscription can access anything they can see in DDB here in Avrae.

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

Got it I think. Thanks. Sorry - I was running a game when one of my players from another group ambushed me with the good news.

#

hi all, when i run an "!update" it seems to set my hp to max rather than what is on beyond. Is there a command or argument I'm missing to have it update to the current hp rather than my normal max?

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

🍿

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

I’m afraid not, @safe mist.

#

You can track your hp directly in Avrae instead using !game hp

safe mist May 13, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

ok, that's good to know

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

Related question - are any of the status type effects - like HP, changes to conditions, preserved between Avrae and DDB or just starting state --> Avrae with !update?

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

And if you’re using !init and targeting attacks, it’ll even adjust the HP automatically.

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

(( I already use Avrae extensively with !init and understand that ))

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

No, conditions won’t import either.

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

My assumption is that !update just takes steady state items and updates them. Well not steady state - but AC, abilities, items equipped effects only.

viscid kernel May 13, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Nor will things like spell slots.

foggy latch May 13, 2020, 12:24 AM

Fairly certain iirc that both of those can be done with aliases

I was just looking at the big alias list from the avrae discord, is why I say

#

Hm, glancing over the list now, you might be outta luck for inventory. There is a snippet for great weapon master, though

pine sun May 13, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

There is a !bag alias for inventory, but it requires you to manually enter everything. Avrae has no built-in features for inventory tracking and no way to read your inventory from your sheet

@weak pier Yeah. Anything you can see in DDB — whether you paid for it or it was shared with you — is accessible in Avrae with the new integration.

#

However, that integration is currently in early access for subscribers only.

So anyone who has a subscription (or picks one up) can use it now.

Otherwise, they can wait until the feature is released to everyone.

IDK if it just me but I've ran like 3 sessions now using Avrae and all my members are commenting saying Avrae is rolling consistently numbers in the lower than the average , its always between the 5-10 range more often than any other bot we've tried

#

Anyone else noticing this ?

orchid walrus May 14, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

I’ve played with it quite a bit recently and noticed varied results (as expected). Sometimes rolling better the others. Though I have never noticed a long period of time where it constantly rolled low.

#

When I have a group at the same init and attack, is there a way to specify a specific attacker?

#

Also noticed that a PC at 0 hp was allowed to roll an attack. Why is that?

viscid kernel May 15, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

For the first one, just make the attack as normal. If it finds multiple matches in the group, it will then prompt you to choose an attacker.

#

For the second, what exactly did you expect to happen?

round musk May 15, 2020, 7:22 AM

#

To whoever used that command, please use #ddb-avrae-commands for testing commands instead 🙂

obtuse knot May 15, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

For the first one, just make the attack as normal. If it finds multiple matches in the group, it will then prompt you to choose an attacker.
@viscid kernel so let’s day I have 3 kobolds. !i a sling -t Fred responds with 6 matches KO1 sling and KO1 Dagger and same for KO2 and KO3. Why does it give me options for dagger when I specify sling? And is there a way to just have the command set with KO1 already?

#

I guess I should just not group them to avoid this

viscid kernel May 15, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

Huh. I have no idea why sling shows dagger. 🤔

obtuse knot May 15, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

And generally speaking I would like a PC at 0 HP to not be able to attack, or at least say “Fred has 0 hp, are you sure you want to attack?

#

It the attack case sensitive?

#

Is Sling different from sling?

viscid kernel May 15, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

Casing doesn't seem to matter. Just tried it in #ddb-avrae-commands

#

However!

obtuse knot May 15, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

With more grouped combatants with multiple kinds of attacks this can be something to slog through several times a round.

viscid kernel May 15, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

I also discovered you can do !i a "sling (KO1)", and it'll automatically use KO1.

#

So if you do stick with groups, that's probably what you're looking for.

obtuse knot May 15, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

A little syntax heavy but at least possible

#

Will try not grouping and I thing that will be better.

viscid kernel May 15, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Yeah, that's the biggest reason I avoid groups, honestly.

#

You can still give them the same init score if you want to keep them together.

#

!mc kobold init
!i madd kobold -n 3 -p <value>

obtuse knot May 15, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

What is -p ?

fickle salmon May 15, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

-place in initiative.

viscid kernel May 15, 2020, 3:30 PM

So -p 14 would place all three of them at initiative 14.

I've been testing with a friend in my server and it seems they're not able to use the content I've shared with them. So far, we've been able to determine some information:

They are on the Heroic Tier. I am on the Master Tier.
They are attempting to !cast synaptic static but are unable to do so.
When I attempt to cast it, it works fine.
We have both of our Discord accounts linked on DNDBeyond.
They are in my campaign with content sharing enabled.

Any ideas on what could be the issue?

viscid kernel May 16, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

@abstract flax Have them try !ddb to verify everything is linked correctly.

#

They might also try !cast “synaptic static” -i which will ignore any requirements for casting the spell.

#

If THAT works, try !spellbook to confirm whether it’s a spell their character can normally cast.

!ma is used for attacks outside of init.
