#

their sheets are public, and are imported using !beyond <url>

fickle salmon Dec 20, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

If they want Avrae to have access to the content they have access on D&D Beyond, they'll have to link their accounts as well.

kind fog Dec 20, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

got it. We'll give that a shot

#

Thank you

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

So i want to make a snippet that adds multiple different damage rolls, like this:
!snippet giantpsytwo 3d6[bludgeoning] + 6d8[bludgeoning] + 3d10[bludgeoning]

#

but it only adds the 3d6

#

where am i incorrect on the command

#

is this even possible to do

fickle salmon Dec 20, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

!snippet giantpsytwo -d "3d6 [bludgeoning] + 6d8 [bludgeoning] + 3d10 [bludgeoning]" OR
!snippet giantpsytwo -d "3d6+6d8+3d10 [bludgeoning]"

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

thank you!

fickle salmon Dec 20, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

What you forgot were the "quotation marks".

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

good to know

graceful seal Dec 20, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

is this for suffy

#

snuffy*

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

i should do that but no

#

its for a level 20 samurai fighter with the Grovelthrash artifact

#

changed it to "magical bludgeoning"

graceful seal Dec 20, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

alright

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

also:

#

snuffy has a statblock

graceful seal Dec 20, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

i didn't submit it to homebrew though

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

but he should also have a piece in the "natural hazards" section

graceful seal Dec 20, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

i kept the siege weapon ability

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

of course

I'm not saying you can't continue this conversation here; however, you may wish to continue it in a channel that doesn't whistle a Helper every line you enter. 🙂

wispy wyvern Dec 20, 2020, 7:42 PM

didnt know it did that 😬

fickle salmon Dec 20, 2020, 7:43 PM

Only when I'm online...

#

is there anyone who can help me attach a char sheet to avrae?

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

what are you uploading it from

silk cosmos Dec 21, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

beyond

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

!beyond (link to sheet)

#

have you connected your account

silk cosmos Dec 21, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

yes.

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

great

#

then do that

silk cosmos Dec 21, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

i used it on a different server but i left it. however, i never disconnected that sheet... will that cause problems?

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

shouldnt

#

iirc

silk cosmos Dec 21, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

does avrae have a setting ot show what prepared spells?

hushed lotus Dec 21, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

no.

silk cosmos Dec 21, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

ok thanks

#

and thanks ramen for earlier.

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

👍

#

glad to help

#

i like pretending that I'm good at avrae

hushed lotus Dec 21, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

same

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

it's fun

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

is this the place to get help when avrae is having an issue?

steady dew Dec 21, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

this or the Avrae Discord Server

fickle salmon Dec 21, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

It's a good place to start. I can check to see if there are any known issues and if not, guide you into how to report your problem.

steady dew Dec 21, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

yes

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

ok thanks

#

one of the players I DM for has a sorlock and avrae seems to have trouble with the Warlock spells

gusty egret Dec 21, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

A full description of the problem is useful.

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

can I send a screenshot? might be quicker

gusty egret Dec 21, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

File attachments are enable in this channel, yes.

steady dew Dec 21, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

what warlock level?

#

!g ss # #
first # is slot level. second # is amount of those slots.

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

📎 sorlock.PNG

fickle salmon Dec 21, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

Let's take a look at the problem before jumping to solutions. I have three possible problems that they could have.

steady dew Dec 21, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

what level of Warlock?

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

2 levels

steady dew Dec 21, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

2 levels?

#

2 level 1 spells.

fickle salmon Dec 21, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

The problem they're having is the player has not connected their D&D Beyond account with their Discord account.

steady dew Dec 21, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

!g ss 1 +2 should do the trick, for the short rest.
Also, connect it

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

ah okay

#

thx

gusty egret Dec 21, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

Those Unknown spells are not SRD. They can use !ddb to check if they're properly connected. A common issue is using a wrong Discord account.

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

so if the player doesnt have non-SRD stuff by themselves, but only through content sharing with me, is that an issue?

fickle salmon Dec 21, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Nope. Whatever they have access to through any means is available on Avrae, until that access is changed, by leaving a campaign for instance.

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

okay thx

steady dew Dec 21, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

also, make sure to !update

dull roost Dec 21, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

yeah it all worked out for my player, thanks again for the help

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

So I have the observant feat, and it's displaying on dndbeyond that I have a 22 passive perception, but on avrae it says I have a seventeen.

empty linden Dec 21, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

Did you run the update command after getting the feat?

#

‘!update’

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

yes

#

In fact, I started with the feat

#

I'm a level one variant human rogue

fickle salmon Dec 21, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

That's not the problem. It's a known issue with Passive Perception.

wispy wyvern Dec 21, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

It's no big deal that it doesn't display, just checking if it's known or if there's a fix

#

just a minor inconvenience

empty linden Dec 22, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

Looks like Avrae is not working here at the moment? Commands in #ddb-avrae-commands are not working.

fickle salmon Dec 22, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

Avrae and Discord occasionally have issues talking to each other. As a totally unbiased observer, I tend to #blamediscord for all the problems.

normal gull Dec 22, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

is there like a snippet that can be added to an attack/spell (that makes the target do a dex saving throw) if the target of that spell has evasion? Or maybe an effect alias that gives evasion?

candid flicker Dec 22, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

Looking to make a snippet for Swords Bards’ Blade Flourishes - what’s the notation to retrieve the character’s bardic inspiration die size? I’ve seen similar stuff to check Rogues’ sneak attack dice

#

Unless there’s an existing snippet made with Blade Flourish in mind?

candid flicker Dec 22, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

Alternatively, maybe an alias would be more effective, since Blade Flourish is optionally activated after an attack that hits

viscid kernel Dec 22, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

It’ll be something like {{get_cc('Blade Flourish')}} (or whatever your counter is called).

#

There’s a tutorial here for Relentless Endurance that covers a lot of that.
https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/stable/aliasing/aliasing_tut.html#half-orc-relentless-endurance-tutorial

silk cosmos Dec 23, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

is there someone who would be free to chat with in an hour and help teach me how to do the initiative tracking and other combat related commands?

fickle salmon Dec 23, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

I could do a bit of show and tell with you.

silk cosmos Dec 23, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

ok.

#

in one hr good? I'm busy till then

fickle salmon Dec 23, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

That's fine. I can work on other things until then.

silk cosmos Dec 23, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

I'm done early if you are still free.

fickle salmon Dec 23, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

Yep. To avoid interruptions, let's use one of the game-room channels.

#

Let's try #710732844011618314 and run a few simple combats...

steady dew Dec 23, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

How do you make avrae do that blank bar?

pine sun Dec 23, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

!br

steady dew Dec 23, 2020, 6:01 AM

#

huh. What's it stand for?

pine sun Dec 23, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

break

steady dew Dec 23, 2020, 6:15 AM

#

ah

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

is it possible to use avrae to track money?

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Yes? Not natively, but there is a popular !coins alias that someone wrote.

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

Yes - you can use custom countes (!cc) to do it right out of the box or you can use an alias (see Avrae developer discord server)

#

So !cc create gp creates a custom counter called gp for your character. To add gold use !cc gp +10 and you add 10 gold to your custom counter.

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

is there a way you could create it so it automatically applies for everyone as they enter the server

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

Remove gold would be the opposite !cc gp -5 and now you only have 5 gp in your custom counter.

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

or as they assign a character to avrae?

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

Uh... no, it's on a per character basis

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

ok

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

There's what's known as a !servalias that will allow everyone to use an alias on a server.

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

True - but custom counters are only on a per-character basis

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

If they don't use it, however they won't get a counter.

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

how would you do the server alias

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Basically, you copy the text in the box in #ddb-avrae-commands , but change !alias to !servalias on your server.

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Same way as creating an alias - but use !servalias instead of !alias and the commands used in creating an alias. But this is getting into advanced stuff so I'd point you at the Avrae Developer Discord server for more info/help.

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

!servalias coin cc create GP

#

?

#

then !coin

#

?

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

Check out the Avrae Developer Discord for aliases - but the coin alias is like this:
!alias coins tembed {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}args=&ARGS&{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}coinTypes=["cp","sp","ep","gp","pp"]{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}coinRates={'{'}"cp":100,"sp":10,"ep":2,"gp":1,"pp":0.1{'}'} {'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}defaultCoin="gp"{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}coinPouchName="Coin Pouch"{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{get_gvar("912e8eac-adcb-4d29-bcb6-23acc3624211")}}

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

.....

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

you can then make that a serveralias by changing !alias part of that to !servalias. This makes the alias available for everyone to use on the server

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

so if i made that a server alias, then everyone could use the same alias to add and subtract coin from their characters?

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

Yep.

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

ok.

#

!servalias coins tembed {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}args=&ARGS&{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}coinTypes=["gp"]{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}coinRates={'{'}"gp":1{'}'} {'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}defaultCoin="gp"{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{f'''{'{'}{'{'}coinPouchName="Coin Pouch"{'}'}{'}'}'''}} {{get_gvar("912e8eac-adcb-4d29-bcb6-23acc3624211")}}

if it only had gp is this what it would look like?

#

and would the commands be !coin pouch add 5 or !coin add 5

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

Um... I don't know if editing it is a wise idea. It's !coins + 5 gp

silk cosmos Dec 24, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

@empty linden see following.

  p = pouch[1][coin]//rate
      ^
Traceback (most recent call last):
KeyError: 'cp'```

#

i get this error message from the one that you made earlier. would you TEACH me how to fix it?

empty linden Dec 24, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

Sorry... I am not familiar with the alias code itself. I would check with the Avrae Developer Discord - alias developers there should be able to assist.

dim robin Dec 24, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

we got it sorted out there

unkempt crater Dec 24, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

How would I add dice to a healing spell in Avrae?

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

What do you mean?

unkempt crater Dec 24, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

Like, to add dice from like a feature or something to the spell's healing so that you don't have to do two different things?

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

So, you'll want to remember that healing is negative damage. And you can add damage to spells with the -d tag. So if you want to put a bonus to healing you have to do something like -d -5 to "add" 5 to your healing spell.

unkempt crater Dec 24, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

That's what I keep doing, but it doesn't seem to be working. Ood.

#

I keep trying to do -d -d4

fickle salmon Dec 24, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

-d -1d4

unkempt crater Dec 24, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Yeah, was trying to edit my mistake, but didn't get to it. So, I have to do the -1d4 okay.

#

Thank you!

steady dew Dec 24, 2020, 7:30 AM

#

Is there a way to do an attack but halve the damage? Like, -d /2 or something, but in a way that works

viscid kernel Dec 24, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

You can give them resistance to the damage type.

steady dew Dec 24, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

-t targetcode|resist
or something?

viscid kernel Dec 24, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

!a dagger -resist piercing

steady dew Dec 24, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

ahhh

#

does work

viscid kernel Dec 24, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

If you needed it to apply to a single target in a group...

!a dagger -t "WO1|-resist piercing" -t WO2

steady dew Dec 24, 2020, 7:38 AM

#

ver nice

#

just needed that for a Creep ability which is basically just half the damage of the regular special attack

#

and yes regular special

frigid torrent Dec 25, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

sos

fickle salmon Dec 25, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

I rolled a 15 on my Perception check to hear your distress call... what can I help you with?

crystal galleon Dec 25, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

i know this isn't beyond, but does anyone know how to add resistances and vulnerabilities to gsheet? trying to give a character of mine a vulnerability to cold damage but i don't know how

fickle salmon Dec 25, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Go to the Additional Tab on the GSheet, scroll to the bottom where it lists, Resistances, Immunities and Vulnerabilities and put 'Cold' in the Vulnerabilities section.

crystal galleon Dec 25, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

additional tab? alright, i gotta be missing something obvious. cause i scrolled all the way to the bottom and i'm at the allies and organizations/backstory section

fickle salmon Dec 25, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

At the Bottom, there should be a series of tabs, the one you're on is labelled v2.1(?)

crystal galleon Dec 25, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

yeah, v2.1

#

....i...did NOT know those other tabs existed

fickle salmon Dec 25, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

Go forth! Explore! (And save a backup just in case...)

crystal galleon Dec 25, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

this is certainly gonna help. looking to import a few characters over to gsheet just so i can finally open up some character slots on beyond. ~~i personally think 6 as a starting figure is.....a bit low~~

fickle salmon Dec 25, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

~~looks at the 45 characters on Hero Tier~~
I have used other systems as well when I've had trouble keeping my characters under limits, so I know how you feel.

polar lion Dec 26, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

I was using CritterDB to Homebrew a monster and I wanted to know how to add a DC based effect that isn't a spell

fickle salmon Dec 26, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

You can't. One of the few restrictions still not overcome yet.

steady dew Dec 26, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

Saving throws have to be done manually. Tis a shame, but you can probably do any damage with an attack
adding the arguments hit, nocrit
so that it hits guaranteed, doesn't crit. However half on success, and then resistance, will get finicky even more.

silk cosmos Dec 26, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

does someone have access to an xp alias?

#

or an invite to the avrae dev server

fickle salmon Dec 26, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

There's an invite link at the bottom of the !about command. I've posted it in #ddb-avrae-commands

empty linden Dec 26, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

There may be one on the Avrae developer discord. https://discord.gg/A25rW2dA

fickle salmon Dec 26, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

There is one. Unsurprisingly called !xp.

silk cosmos Dec 27, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

question what's the command for advantage /disadvantage attack?

steady dew Dec 27, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

just put adv / dis on the end

#

!a longsword -t targetcode ((dis) / (adv))

silk cosmos Dec 27, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

ok. thnks

viscid kernel Dec 27, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

Please use #ddb-avrae-commands to interact with Avrae.

silk cosmos Dec 27, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

sorry.

#

how do you use abilities during init? example: action surge

fickle salmon Dec 27, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

At its most basic, you tell the DM "I use Action Surge." If they say OK, you take another action.

silk cosmos Dec 27, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

rephrase, how do you mark it as used on avrae?

fickle salmon Dec 27, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

If you've built your character in Beyond, it should have given you a counter you can track it with. You mark it off with !cc "Action Surge" -1

silk cosmos Dec 27, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

ok. thnx

silver void Dec 29, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

How do you heal a character?

#

Nvm, figured it out

empty linden Dec 29, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

For others looking for the answer to healing:
!g hp # to heal your active character the specified number of hitpoints. See !help game hp for more details.
Or if in initiative:
!i hp # to adjust HP of current turn creature's HP. See !help initiative for more info.

viscid kernel Dec 29, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

!init hp <name> [hp] works for any creature in initiative.

empty linden Dec 29, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

ah I missed the <name> part! Thanks for noting that!

#

Ooh and a medal too! 🙂

steady dew Dec 30, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

otherwise, !i hp <arg> X does the current combatant, yeah

nova jay Dec 30, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

Can one person in discord, add multiple PCs and monsters to a fight, and then run them all? (all the PCs are associated with that person's account)

fickle salmon Dec 30, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

Yes. It will be challenging keeping track of all the possibilities, but I once had one character go up against all four elementals.

nova jay Dec 30, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

so do i need to switch between each PC one at a time and then join the fight?

#

(I'm trying to playtest a monster by playing 5 characters)

fickle salmon Dec 30, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

Yes, you'll have to switch to add each character, but then you can use !init attack or !i a for each character on their turn.

nova jay Dec 30, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

ah got it, thank you, much appreciated, right, off I go

nova jay Dec 30, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

fickle salmon Yes, you'll have to switch to add each character, but then you can use `!init at...

FWIW, you still have to switch every time during the fight as well (i.e. !i next, then !char name, then you can !i attack ...), it's doable, but it's going to be harder than doing it on paper I think to test out the stuff I had. Was worth a shot though, thanks for the help.

#

ah no hang on, you said !i attack ...

#

beetles off

nova jay Dec 30, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

fickle salmon Yes, you'll have to switch to add each character, but then you can use `!init at...

You are of course, 100% correct, and I need to learn to read.

fickle salmon Dec 30, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

I try to give accurate advice, but have been known to err from time to time...

nova jay Dec 30, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

that extra i is sneaky. right, back to seeing if that's quicker.

steady dew Dec 31, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

no?
If you have a warlock a barb and a rogue, you can go !i next

!i a shortbow -t Gunter

viscid kernel Dec 31, 2020, 3:07 AM

I’m betting !monster_atk isn’t init aware.

#

!init attack should work, yes.

steady dew Dec 31, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

to attack out of turn order, use !i aoo GO1 Shortbow -t Gunter for example. name of the thing in initiative, and then the rest of their attack.

viscid kernel Dec 31, 2020, 3:09 AM

!help ma says it accepts targets, though. 🧐

But I can’t get mine to hit either.

No, there’s something weird going on. Look here in #ddb-avrae-commands. I ran the same thing twice. One time it found the target, and the other it didn’t.

how do I hide monster name again when starting initiative?

viscid kernel Dec 31, 2020, 3:58 AM

I don’t think you can hide the name in init. 🤔

-h hides their HP, AC, etc, but not their name.

Ah, but if players don't know what PU1 is...

Is fine, I got it.

#

(it was -h I was thinking of, btw)

viscid kernel Dec 31, 2020, 3:59 AM

You could !i madd <monster> -name ???

#

And then change the name again when it’s time. !i opt ??? -name PU1

hushed lotus Dec 31, 2020, 4:01 AM

suppose that's fair.

viscid kernel Dec 31, 2020, 4:01 AM

Curious, as a DM, can I disable homebrew? every time I add a monster to combat, its asking if i want the homebrew version, and I think its interfering with my ability to add multiple monsters at a time.

viscid kernel Dec 31, 2020, 5:17 AM

You can !bestiary delete <name> to stop following whatever bestiary contains that monster.

steady dew Dec 31, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

or switch to a different one

viscid kernel Dec 31, 2020, 5:17 AM

Or you can remove that monster from the bestiary itself and !bestiary update

then it stops pulling from that bestiary

How do I set my race to a silver ravenite dragonborn?

viscid kernel Jan 1, 2021, 5:08 AM

#

Truth be told, your race doesn’t matter to Avrae at all beyond displaying the name in !sheet.

#

But your ASI, breath weapon attack, resistance, and counters should all import automatically from DDB.

uneven rapids Jan 1, 2021, 5:30 AM

#

yeah but i didnt use beyond for the character sheet

#

which is why I'm trying to use !setrace

manic estuary Jan 1, 2021, 5:37 AM

#

Is that one of Mercer's? If it's in the Whatever's Guide to Wildebeests, then you have to sub to that source through !setrace (which requires you to own it on beyond) or you can read the !help for !setrace and then create your own personal gvar with the relevant info in it. And if you have more questions, it's really best if you join the dev server and ask in #666401385335750666. This channel doesn't delve too deeply into getting aliases going at that level.

viscid kernel Jan 1, 2021, 6:04 AM

☝🏻The dev server will also get you better answers for when you’re not using DDB.

Hello, is there an option in avrae for turning undead?

viscid kernel Jan 2, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

Avrae doesn’t typically have built-in automation for specific class features.

#

To do it manually, you’d subtract the use of Channel Divinity. !cc "Channel Divinity" -1

#

Make the saving throw. !ms zombie wis -dc 14

#

And if they fail, probably add an effect to track it. !i effect ZO1 turned -dur 10

#

There are ways to automate that, though, and I’d bet someone already has. If you ask over on the Avrae dev server, they can probably point you in the right direction.

Is there a way to set a fixed initivate counter?

fickle salmon Jan 2, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

Yep. !init join -p and a fixed number will set a player's initiative to a fixed place.
!init madd <monster> -p and the fixed number will put the monster in a fixed initiative.
!init add <fixed number> <name> -p will create a fixed position which you can name, like "Lair Action".

steady dew Jan 2, 2021, 9:45 PM

#

i join -p X to be precise

#

but you can also do something like add a custom combatant and have it just be the lair for lair actions, as said

#

hello

#

i want to make Insignia of claws in dndbeyond

#

but cant find a way to make it make my natural weapon magical (i m lvl 5 beast barbarian)

viscid kernel Jan 3, 2021, 3:31 AM

#

Actually, it looks the official Insignia doesn’t quite work in the way you’re hoping either.

#

One option you have, though, is to go to the Actions tab on your character sheet and click Unarmed Strikes. In the sidebar the appears, open up the Customize section and uncheck “Display As Attack”.

#

Then you can !update and readd it manually in Avrae itself using !attack add

#

!a add "Unarmed Strike" -b {strengthMod+proficiencyBonus} -d "1+{strengthMod}[magical bludgeoning]"

#

Alternatively, you can make any attack magical by adding the word magical.

#

!a "unarmed strike" magical

narrow thicket Jan 3, 2021, 4:03 AM

#

oh i see

#

so if i do the "readd it manually", it is gonna give me quite a few attack on my !sheet

viscid kernel Jan 3, 2021, 4:28 AM

#

No more than you had before.

#

Unless you’re adding additional ones.

narrow thicket Jan 3, 2021, 5:42 AM

#

Oh i now i get it

#

Thank you

viscid kernel Jan 3, 2021, 5:48 AM

#

Oh! Yeah. Sorry.

#

The first two steps there were basically to remove the DDB version.

#

So you’re effectively just replacing it.

narrow thicket Jan 3, 2021, 9:26 AM

#

@viscid kernel if you are still here, so after i uncheck “Display As Attack”. my Unarmed attack disappear

#

how do i make it appear again?

steady dew Jan 3, 2021, 9:28 AM

#

actions, unarmed strike, still there, but you can re-tick it

#

it just won't appear in attacks

#

it's in actions under the attacks field

viscid kernel Jan 3, 2021, 2:54 PM

#

narrow thicket how do i make it appear again?

Let me restart from the beginning.

#

Avrae looks at all the attacks on your character sheet, and makes a read-only copy of them to use here in Discord.

#

Read-only means that Avrae won’t let you edit those attacks in any way.

#

Normally, you’d do that by editing the attack in DDB instead, then using !update to pull in the changes.

#

In your specific case, though, that’s not an edit that is possible on DDB’s side.

#

The steps I suggested essentially remove your Unarmed Strike from the character sheet so that Avrae won’t see it anymore, and will remove it as well (after you !update).

#

Once it has been removed, you can then using !attack add to create the attack again directly in Avrae.

#

It will then work as you expect, but will only exist in Avrae itself — not your character sheet.

#

If you do still want it displayed on your character sheet, go back to the Actions tab and look for the text description for Unarmed Strikes. You can click that and then go back in and recheck “Display As Attack”.

#

Unarmed Strike
You can punch, kick, head-butt, or use a similar forceful blow and deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1 + STR modifier

#

If you do that, though, and you also !attack add "unarmed strike", Avrae is going to see two versions of it and ask you to pick one every single time.

#

To fix that, you can simply call it something else, something unique. !attack add fisticuffs, for example.

#

As you surmised earlier, that will indeed leave you with more attacks than you started with.

I was trying to learn how to use avrae and noticed the flurry of blows attack didn't reduce Ki Points, What am I doing wrong?

fickle salmon Jan 5, 2021, 12:36 AM

#

Nothing. Avrae doesn't automatically deduct anything when you use an attack; however, you can do so manually with !cc "Ki Points" -1"

hearty mesa Jan 5, 2021, 12:37 AM

#

OK, cool. I see I could make an alias to use with the flurry attack but cant figure how to set the multiple commands into the one alias

#

something like
!alias flurry multiline
!i a %1% "Flurry of blows"
!i a %2% "Flurry of blows"
!cc "Ki Points" -1

#

but it wouldnt work

fickle salmon Jan 5, 2021, 12:40 AM

#

The nice thing about aliases is that you can automate the deduction of counters when you run the alias. However, that's better discussed in the #alias-help channel on the Avrae Development Server.

hearty mesa Jan 5, 2021, 12:40 AM

#

OK thanks

viscid kernel Jan 5, 2021, 12:46 AM

#

Are the args there supposed to be targets?

#

If so, try !i a "Flurry of Blows" -t %1% instead.

#

In your current version, the args are being interpreted as the attack name.

steady dew Jan 5, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

yeah that's not gonna read right

#

the way you do it for avrae to read it is, !i a Flurry -t %1%

#

which is attack with flurry, target targetcode

hearty mesa Jan 5, 2021, 2:29 AM

#

Thanks, I had sorted that out but still cant get the !cc "Ki Points" -1 to run after it in the alias

You will not keep your previous coins, and will need to update your coins on the new alias. Aliases are generally not connected like that.

Theoretically it could. For example, if they both tracked using a custom counter named “GP”.

#

But as a rule of thumb, I’d assume they don’t.

Since aliases can be written any number of ways, it’s hard to give any concrete answer without more information about the aliases themselves.

There isn't a singular command to use a class feature. For your Second Wind example, you'd need to !cc "Second Wind" -1 to mark off the use of the feature, !roll 1d10+{FighterLevel} Second Wind to get the HP restored, and finally !g hp +<dice roll result>

wise siren Jan 15, 2021, 10:26 AM

#

how do you make the avrae bot roll a stat?

steady dew Jan 15, 2021, 10:26 AM

#

Aite, it's
!c

#

that's for a check

#

!a is attacks, !s is for saves

wise siren Jan 15, 2021, 10:27 AM

#

oh, thanks!

steady dew Jan 15, 2021, 10:27 AM

#

and you can specify a skill for an ability skill check

wise siren Jan 15, 2021, 10:27 AM

#

how do you select the weapon

steady dew Jan 15, 2021, 10:27 AM

#

!a list for an attack list, or
!a longsword for a longsword

#

for spells, you use !cast <spell name>

wise siren Jan 15, 2021, 10:28 AM

#

ok

night oxide Jan 15, 2021, 11:09 AM

#

Do you have to 'load' your character each time you want to use it?
Can this be used when you have multiple session going on with different characters?
If so, how exactly?

steady dew Jan 15, 2021, 12:09 PM

#

!character list
then type in the name of the character

#

you don't need to do !beyond since that'll make a lot of iterations on avrae

wise siren Jan 16, 2021, 10:23 AM

#

how do you roll an attack with a weapon

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 10:24 AM

#

see above

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 10:24 AM

#

steady dew `!a list` for an attack list, or `!a longsword` for a longsword

this

wise siren Jan 16, 2021, 10:24 AM

#

ok

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 10:25 AM

#

I just did a few attacks so you can see

wise siren Jan 16, 2021, 10:25 AM

#

when I do !a then a weapon it says unarmed strike

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 10:25 AM

#

that's because that's your only attack

#

have you equipped the weapon in your sheet and ran !update?

#

try it in #ddb-avrae-commands

wise siren Jan 16, 2021, 10:26 AM

#

so I needed to do update

#

ok

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 10:27 AM

#

just running update won't do it, you will need to have it equipped in the sheet and display under the 'attacks' field

wise siren Jan 16, 2021, 10:27 AM

#

yes

#

I had it equiped but not updated

#

all done now

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 10:28 AM

#

right then, so you should now be able to see and use that longsword attack?

wise siren Jan 16, 2021, 10:28 AM

#

I can attack with my weapon now

#

yay

young arch Jan 16, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

How do I update all 6 of my characters at the same time?

fickle salmon Jan 16, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

There's no mass update feature in Avrae. You'll have to switch between each character that needs updating and run !update on each one.

young arch Jan 16, 2021, 8:56 PM

#

How do I switch?

fickle salmon Jan 16, 2021, 8:57 PM

#

!character <character name>. However, please run Avrae commands in the proper channel: #ddb-avrae-commands

#

No space in between the prefix and the command, and again, please run the commands in #ddb-avrae-commands

copper wing Jan 16, 2021, 11:34 PM

#

I switched the prefix for my avrae not from ! To /
How can I switch it back?

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

same command but with / prefix, and set prefix to !

fickle salmon Jan 16, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

/prefix !

#

You can also @Avrae#6944 prefix ! if the prefix got changed to some unknown character or sequence of characters.

copper wing Jan 16, 2021, 11:38 PM

#

thank you very much, that last command was the only one that worked

#

Also, how can I add a character from D&D beyond?

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

!beyond 'share url'

fickle salmon Jan 16, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

Get the sharing link from your character sheet and place that in Auditor's command where he has 'share link'

steady dew Jan 16, 2021, 11:40 PM

#

without the 'this'

#

around it

#

!beyond url

copper wing Jan 16, 2021, 11:41 PM

hello all,
if anyone is able to help me understand this please,
For encounter commands of Avrae do they link to ddb "encounter Builder" for fast building and set up?

fickle salmon Jan 17, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

No, the !init system does not speak with the DDB Encounter Builder.

steady dew Jan 17, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

no, but you can refer to it quick

thank you for all the help
🙂

copper wing Jan 17, 2021, 12:51 AM

#

I have another question, I an the DM for my campaign and I added three characters to my channel, and I can only make chacks and saves for the last character I added. Is there any way to make it so I can specify which character I want to make the save/check for?

#

can anyone answer my question?

empty linden Jan 17, 2021, 12:58 AM

#

I think this is a limitation of Avare and Discord - a person on Discord can only run one character out of Avrae at a time.

#

So only one of your characters can be active at a time.

copper wing Jan 17, 2021, 12:59 AM

#

but is there a way to specify which character I want to use at the time?

#

And, if a certain person on D&D beyond is assigned to a character, can they use their character, and only their character on Avrea-Discord, or can they use anyone's character on Avrae-Discord

empty linden Jan 17, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

Yes - !char <name of character you want active> assuming you've already loaded the characters into Avrae.

#

Users can only load characters they have access to.

#

To see a list of all your loaded characters, use !char list

copper wing Jan 17, 2021, 1:06 AM

#

thanks

#

what command do I use to remove a character from a channel?

empty linden Jan 17, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

Just switch to a different character

#

If you truly want to "remove" a character from Avrae, use !char delete <name of character>. This will unload the character from Avrae. You will have to reimport the character into Avare again if you want to use that character.

fading siren Jan 17, 2021, 9:07 AM

#

And if you are the dm using your players characters on avrae. Just be aware that changes you make on avrae won't also change for the players if they have it loaded too

lethal ridge Jan 20, 2021, 5:39 AM

#

Is there a snippet for the Piercer feat?

viscid kernel Jan 20, 2021, 5:48 AM

#

That one might be hard to pull off. I don’t think snippets can read the size of the damage die used for that attack.

#

But for argument’s sake, a longsword does 1d8 damage.

#

So with piercer, you’d need !a longsword -d1 1d8[piercing] -c 1d8[piercing]

#

That -d1 will add damage to the first hit, and the -c will add damage on a crit.

#

I suppose you could make a snippet called p8 that uses that for a d8 damage die.

#

Then add variations for other sizes. p4, p6, etc.

#

!snippet p8 -d1 1d8[piercing] -c 1d8[piercing] -f "Piercer|(enter rules text here)"

#

But maybe someone else knows a cleaner way to solve this one.

steady dew Jan 20, 2021, 6:14 AM

#

that's if you stab with a longsword

lethal ridge Jan 20, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

viscid kernel That one might be hard to pull off. I don’t think snippets can read the size of...

Well I use a rapier, but that will work tacking that onto the roll for Piercer

viscid kernel Jan 20, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

Yeah. As Auditor pointed out, longsword’s not actual eligible anyway. 😅

#

But it should work for a rapier all the same.

#

How do I add my artillerist force cannon to init?

viscid kernel Jan 22, 2021, 1:01 AM

#

You could use !i add for that if you didn’t want to homebrew an actual statblock.

#

!init add <modifier> <name> [args...]

#

!i add 0 "Force Cannon" -h -hp 30 -ac 18 -immune poison -immune psychic

#

You’d want to sub in the correct HP there, of course.

#

You can set it to match your init by entering your roll in place of that 0 and adding a -p.

#

Or by putting the both of you in the same -group.

uneven rapids Jan 22, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

oh oki ty

viscid kernel Jan 22, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

Of course you can alias that, too.

#

Which would also let you auto-calculate the hp.

#

!alias fc i add %1% "Force Cannon" -h -p -hp {5*ArtificerLevel} -ac 18 -immune poison -immune psychic

#

And then you’d use !fc <your-init-score>

How do I remove a group without removing combatants?

viscid kernel Jan 22, 2021, 2:39 AM

#

The good news is that you can target the group itself for that, and unassign them all in one go.

!randchar is a basic command that uses the dice rolling functions. Having it lookup an equivalent value on a table and summing those values would be much more complex. There may be ways to do it with an alias, but that goes outside the scope of the basic help that's generally offered here.

So using your earlier example, !i attack Claws(DEX) -t (monster) -rr 3 -d 1d10[lightning] magical

#

That will make both the claws and the lightning magical. Not sure whether that’s an issue for you.

#

-d "1d10[magical lightning]" would make just the lightning magical.

#

Doing it for just the claws is trickier if they’re not saved as magical. You’d have to replace the base damage type.

#

-dtype "slashing>magical slashing"

#

But that’s only if you’re adding a second, non-magical damage type.

can someone help me understand how to keep the damage going after Witch bolt has alreday been cast and successfully hits? Should I just roll a D12 for damage? I am playing a level 1 warlock and I am confusesd with thw avrae bot

viscid kernel Jan 30, 2021, 1:05 AM

#

@sullen plinth You have to join initiative first. Then when you cast it, it will give you an effect that adds an attack. You can use !attack "witch’s bolt" to deal the subsequent damage.

#

If you’re not in initiative, then yeah, you have to roll and adjust the hp manually.

sullen plinth Jan 30, 2021, 1:06 AM

Thank you for that

If you reroll and get another 1, do you keep rerolling? If so, yeah, that’s rr1.

The Eldritch Claw Tattoo does not seem to set unarmed damage as magical, is there a quick way to do so?

fickle salmon Feb 1, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

Not easily. The quick fix is to remember to add magical to your !attack unarmed sequence.

unkempt crater Feb 1, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

Oof, that's a little rough, but alright. I added a custom counter for Eldritch Maul already, so I'll try and remember.

viscid kernel Feb 1, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

The more permanent fix is to remove the unarmed strike from your character sheet and readd it directly in Avrae so that it's always magical.

#

On the sheet, you'd have to click your unarmed strike attack, go to the sidebar and open the customize menu, then uncheck "Display as Attack".

#

Then !update and !attack add "Unarmed Strike" -b {strengthMod+proficiencyBonus} -d "1+{strengthMod}[magical bludgeoning]"

unkempt crater Feb 1, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

I could just call it something else and use that instead tho, right?

fickle salmon Feb 1, 2021, 5:45 PM

#

Right.

unkempt crater Feb 1, 2021, 5:45 PM

#

Cause I also have Tavern Brawler, so it gets a bit difficult with all of the bonuses and such.

#

Would that attack add the +1 bonus from the Eldritch Claw or do I need to add it myself?

#

It doesn't, from what I found out.

viscid kernel Feb 1, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

The manual attack I listed above will not include bonuses from any items.

#

But it should be pretty easy to adjust as needed.

#

Just use that command again, add the +1, and it’ll override the old one.

unkempt crater Feb 1, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

Yeah, I figured it out. Just had to test it out.

The problem I've been having is that when we were doing test combat encounters using the bot, Avrae would mention I have no character active.

#

!cc "counter name" -1 so for you, !cc "bardic inspiration" -1 (if the counter is called that. Shorter versions work too if there is no duplicates so you can call it bard if it is the only custom counter with bard in it)

young arch Feb 9, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

Thank you

viscid kernel Feb 9, 2021, 5:45 PM

A plus or minus there (+1, -2) will adjust the counter by that amount.

#

A number by itself will set it to that number.

So !cc bard 1 will change the counter to 1, regardless of what it had before.

It isn't starting with that matters, it is containing in general (or at least used to be). Technically you could just as easily do !cc pi -1 if nothing else contained pi as it is in the middle of inspiration

stark pagoda Feb 10, 2021, 3:55 AM

will that also work for the "lucky" feat counter

steady dew Feb 10, 2021, 4:09 AM

yep

it's a CC, it'll work

what the command for looking up status conditions

fickle salmon Feb 10, 2021, 11:38 PM

!condition

Yeah, it can be a little hard to find the right command in the lengthy !help list.

My friend is playing in my discord server and has joined my shared campaign but his rolls from dnd beyond dont appear in discord does he need to link it and if so how. I don't remeber

viscid kernel Feb 12, 2021, 2:50 AM

#

He’ll need to link his DDB and Discord accounts, and import his character.

#

!ddb will get him instructions for the account link, or confirm if it’s already set up.

#

And then he can grab his character sheet url and use !beyond <url> to import it, if he hasn’t already.

cloud depot Feb 12, 2021, 3:08 AM

#

Perfect yeah he already did the beyond 《url》I will try to link account thanks

steady dew Feb 12, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

rolls from the beyond sheet appearing in discord would rely on the Beyond20 browser extension and the Beyond20 discord bot.

This falls outside of Avrae's jurisdiction entirely

Connection Issues (Feb. 12)
Avrae is currently experiencing severe connection issues with Discord, causing the bot to appear offline in about 70% of servers. This issue is caused by an internal error in the Discord API and is being monitored; FAQs and updates will be provided here.

FAQs

How long until Avrae is online again? It's Friday night and I've got a D&D game.
Unfortunately, there's no ETA on a fix from Discord; another issue upstream appears to be affecting the Discord team's ability to deploy a fix. You can find more information at https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/cloud-networking/21002 and https://discordstatus.com/.
Why is only Avrae offline?
The API issue affects how bots create new connections to Discord, not existing connections, which means that smaller bots using existing connections (like Taine or Nightly) were not affected. Avrae maintains over 240 simultaneous connections to Discord, and as new connections started failing, the overall health of the bot deteriorated.

Updates (times in PST)
[17:45] - We are currently monitoring the situation. Thanks for your patience!
[18:20] - Avrae is now completely offline. We're continuing to monitor and will provide updates when available.
[19:20] - Still waiting on a fix from Discord.
[20:12] - Still waiting on a fix from Discord. Note that while both the GCP and Discord status pages display no incident, we are still waiting for Discord engineers to roll out a fix before we can begin the restart process of Avrae.
[20:23] - Avrae is starting to reconnect to Discord.
[20:43] - Avrae should be back online globally. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience; happy adventuring!

empty linden Feb 13, 2021, 2:12 AM

It's actually not Discord this time! It's actually Google Cloud Services, which is impacting Discord, and therefore impacts Avrae. See #296175773469900808 message

#

Oh hey need to read - looks like it was posted...

empty linden Feb 13, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

So it sounds like Zhu is just waiting for Discord to make some updates to an API and give the all clear before they can kick off restarting Avrae...

waxen moss Feb 13, 2021, 6:29 PM

#

so i just connected my discord and ddb account but my dice rolls dont show up in discord chat.

fickle salmon Feb 13, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

Is your character in a campaign?

waxen moss Feb 13, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

yes

#

i !updated it today to check and still nothing

fickle salmon Feb 13, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

Have you used the campaign link with the !campaign command in the channel?

waxen moss Feb 13, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

i did

fickle salmon Feb 13, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

Hmmm, and you've covered the next question. I have to try running this on my own.

waxen moss Feb 13, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

using the !beyond then my char link correct?

fickle salmon Feb 13, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

Actually, you running the !update command in that channel was my next step.

viscid kernel Feb 13, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

Are your other party members having this same issue?

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

some. couple of the dice works but mine and i think one other dont get the dice rolls in discord

fickle salmon Feb 14, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

Can you run !ddb in #ddb-avrae-commands please?

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 1:58 AM

#

ive connected my account. i even discoonected and reconnected earlier today and let it sit for a couple hours. then started my campaign. and still nothing

fickle salmon Feb 14, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

So somehow your Discord account you're using now isn't the one signed up in D&D Beyond. That explains the dice roll problem.

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 2:01 AM

#

hmmm. it should be

fickle salmon Feb 14, 2021, 2:01 AM

#

The thing that can mess up frequently is the number after the # in your Discord name.

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 2:02 AM

#

i have 1 i see #7311

#

so how do i fix that?

fickle salmon Feb 14, 2021, 2:02 AM

#

And what is the name in the D&D Beyond link?

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

ok im sorry. im confused now. it shuld be the same on both. do you mean my real name

fickle salmon Feb 14, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

No, no real name. Just Discord names need to match.

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

so i need to change the cosmic spyder then?

fickle salmon Feb 14, 2021, 2:06 AM

#

You need to log into the cosmic spyder#7311 account in D&D Beyond account page. https://dndbeyond.com/account

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 2:07 AM

#

oki think i saw where i needed to change it.

#

so should i close and reopen ddb and discord?

fickle salmon Feb 14, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

Not necessarily. You may just need to wait up to 15 minutes for the back end to synch up properly. Once you get a message from the !ddb command that your account is linked up, !update your character to be extra sure everything is set and try the dice roll again.

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

ok. tyvm.

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 3:16 PM

#

Still didn't fix

empty linden Feb 14, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

Hmmm. Weird. You may need to open a support ticket with DnDBeyond staff so they can dig into this in more detail.

gusty egret Feb 14, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

At https://www.dndbeyond.com/account under Discord, what is the full name including numbers given?

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

on ddb its 7365 on discord its 7311, i never noticed that before

#

cosmicspyder 7365 on ddb and cosmicspyder 7311 on discord

viscid kernel Feb 14, 2021, 5:04 PM

#

That’s your answer, then. It’s linked to the wrong account.

#

You need to link it to the one you’re currently using, #7311.

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

Ok. How do I change that.

viscid kernel Feb 14, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

On your DDB account page (linked above), you need to unlink #7356.

#

Then make sure you’re signed in as #7311 when you link again.

waxen moss Feb 14, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

done

#

done and done. thank you, now why is it i had 2 links? was it because i had originally opened discord on my phone then did it on the pc seperately?

viscid kernel Feb 14, 2021, 5:31 PM

Yeah, you must have been signed in to different accounts on them.

Use discord permissions. Just remove avraes permission to post in channels you don't want it in

fickle salmon Feb 15, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

Create a Discord role and assign it only to Avrae. Shift that role to below @everyone in the Roles in Server Settings. Give the role you assigned Avrae permissions to that channel only.

viscid kernel Feb 16, 2021, 2:15 PM

!i opt <name> -neutral <damage_type>

Or you can use -neutral <damage_type> on an attack or spell, too, to bypass that resistance just once.

fickle salmon Feb 16, 2021, 9:48 PM

A gvar is short for a Global Variable. It's a constant that can be referred to by any alias.
A cvar is short for a Character Variable. It's a means of saving information about a specific character that can be loaded in later.

So I'm trying to make a homebrewed flesh mound in my bestiary on critterdb. Everything works fine except I can only seem to make a slam attack show up in Avrae when imported. The monster has another attack that forces saves and adds an effect that deals damage on the start of a player's turn but I can't seem to get the attack to work. Any help or am I doing something dumb?

fickle salmon Feb 18, 2021, 3:14 PM

Avrae can't import monster attacks that requires saves or adds effect automation from CritterDB.
