Trying to quickly grab token where players in other discord wouldn't see

I have a gif as my character's portrait. It shows correctly in DDB, and even on the Avrae dashboard, but it doesn't wanna play in Discord, no matter where I do it. Any advice on getting it to work besides the file size?

pine sun May 16, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

Does the link point directly to the file, ending in a file type?

#

Like .gif

sour gyro May 16, 2021, 12:16 AM

#

do you mean the name of the file? I uploaded it from my computer's gallery.

viscid kernel May 16, 2021, 1:13 AM

#

You might try uploading the image on another site (or even directly in Discord), then use !portrait update <url> to use that version instead.

sour gyro May 16, 2021, 1:16 AM

Yaay! Thank you thank you!

Is it possible to combine 2 commands into 1 command using avrae? (eg - !attack longbow + !attack sneak attack)

#

does anybody know?

keen mauve May 16, 2021, 1:54 PM

#

There’s a snippet for sneak attack on the official Avrae server that automatically adds the damage for sneak attack

#

I could get the snippet for you?

marble osprey May 16, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

the sneak attack is just an example. Im thinking more whether its possible to combine 2 !attack options into 1 command. lets say 1 is a generic "!attack weapon attack" and the other is a custom "!attack homebrew effect". is it possible to combine them into 1 command or do i just have to do them individually.

keen mauve May 16, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

I think you’d have to do them individually, but you could send them out at the same time with the !multiline alias

minor vessel May 16, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

It depends on what the second 'option' is

marble osprey May 16, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

keen mauve I think you’d have to do them individually, but you could send them out at the s...

i see ill give that a look

minor vessel May 16, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

For things like Sneak Attack or Booming Blade or Green Flame Blade for example, there are snippets for that.

For things like Divine Smite, there are special aliases for that

marble osprey May 16, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

minor vessel It depends on what the second 'option' is

most of the time it would be a custom homebrew effect

keen mauve May 16, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

I can show you rq in #ddb-avrae-commands

minor vessel May 16, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

Sure, that can be done with snippets depending on what they are

#

You'd have to expand on what you mean by 'custom homebrew effect'

marble osprey May 16, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

minor vessel You'd have to expand on what you mean by 'custom homebrew effect'

a custom !attack that deals additional elemental damage. imagine sneak attack but elemental damage instead.

minor vessel May 16, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

Sure. That can be done with snippets, just as sneak attack is.

marble osprey May 16, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

keen mauve I can show you rq in <#552960259799515147>

sure if its not too much of a problem

#

i see

keen mauve May 16, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

But yeah that’s definitely easily done

minor vessel May 16, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

I can write up an example for you now if you wish?

#

What's the additional elemental damage based off of?

keen mauve May 16, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

If it's fundamentally the same principle as sneak attack, you can just copy the snippet, change the damage type, class, description, and die amount

minor vessel May 16, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

Depends on how it scales really, so I'd suggest not defaulting to Sneak Attack's code since that scales by level, where there may be features which scale by proficiency bonus or ability modifier instead for example. Overall though, checking out !help snippet will give you the knowledge you need to create snippets for your own needs

marble osprey May 16, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

minor vessel Depends on how it scales really, so I'd suggest not defaulting to Sneak Attack's...

ill definitely check that out.

steady dew May 16, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

simplest put you could just do !snippet ice -d 1d6[cold] which would make it so whenever you attack, you can just put 'ice' on the end (no quote marks) and it's see -d 1d6[cold] and add a d6 of cold

i need help with An Avrae command input for Blood Hunter collection alias

viscid kernel May 16, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

You need help with an existing alias, or with creating a new one?

flat drum May 16, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

Looking to use their crimson rite

#

Avrae doesn't have built-in class or race abilities.

viscid kernel May 16, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

In that case, I believe there’s an alias available on the Avrae Worshop.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/workshop

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.

flat drum May 16, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

Oof yeah I was going to continue that thought with roll dice to figure out the effects and if you have a counter for it !cc "NAME OF COUNTER" -1 will mark a use in Avrae. (Can also be tracked on paper)

!ms hell hound con

"Not a valid save"

#

some kind of weird bug of the MS command for Avrea

manic estuary May 17, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

You're telling "hell" to make a "hound" save.

#

!ms "hell hound" con

wheat tide May 17, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

that could explain it

viscid kernel May 17, 2021, 2:14 AM

#

Same goes for spells and attacks, too. If it’s got a space in the name, you always want to wrap it in quotes.

manic estuary May 17, 2021, 2:14 AM

#

Mostly always.

viscid kernel May 17, 2021, 2:14 AM

#

Mostly always

manic estuary May 17, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

The lookup commands that only accept the monster/spell/etc as the argument, you don't want to include quotes.

#

But anything that can take multiple arguments, then always put multiword arguments in quotes because Avrae sees spaces as telling her there's another argument unless you use quotes.

wheat tide May 17, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

makes perfect sense

i need someone to ehlp me step by step on making it a gvar

#

thank u

flat drum May 17, 2021, 11:01 AM

#

Making what a gvar?

#

For bloodhunter? There is a gvar on the workshop collection if you follow that link above. It is for use with the !level alias.

#

https://avrae.io/dashboard/workshop/5f7385fe647bb0a416316d1d

#

If you have this alias, you do !level sub that-gvar-address

#

Then !level should allow you to select BloodHunter as a class with subclass options

gusty egret May 17, 2021, 11:38 AM

#

manic estuary The lookup commands that only accept the monster/spell/etc as the argument, you ...

I always use quotes there and it doesn't have issues with the string.

teal stone May 17, 2021, 12:21 PM

#

whan you use the token command on avrae, why are the frames golden and sometimes greyish

flat drum May 17, 2021, 12:21 PM

#

It is gold if you have a master subscription and silver if not I believe.

#

!help token has options for player character's tokens

teal stone May 17, 2021, 12:23 PM

#

oh ok, thanks

gusty egret May 17, 2021, 12:26 PM

#

Removing the border only works for character tokens, per the !help.

daring thistle May 17, 2021, 1:46 PM

#

i have a quick quastion on more blood hunter stuff

#

i can use my first blood maladict expendancy slot just fine but i cant seem to activate the 2nd curse slot i get at 3rd lvl to use my curses twice per short or long rest

daring thistle May 17, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

i want to know how to utilize my second curse slot from curse specialist

viscid kernel May 17, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

If you imported from DDB, I'm betting it's set up as a separate counter: Blood Maledict - Curse Specialist.

#

So !cc "curse specialist" -1 would probably do the trick.

#

How or if that works in whichever alias you're using, I'm not sure.

daring thistle May 17, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

well the alias im using gives me a command ! bpup -t target and uses my first slot only but it doesnt have any snippets for my aditonal slots of usage at later levels

#

ok i figured it out thank you i just needed to pur hb for hunters bane check after i put bpup

viscid kernel May 17, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

FWIW, you'll usually get better help with aliases over on the Avrae dev server. They're typically a lot more familiar with the specifics of those.

How do I add a monster that's Mounted on another monster in intiative

viscid kernel May 18, 2021, 7:35 PM

#

If your character has already rolled initiative -- say you got a 12 -- you can add the mount at that position with -p.

#

!i madd horse -p 12

fickle salmon May 18, 2021, 7:35 PM

#

!init madd goblin -group Mounted
!init madd ogre -group Mounted

viscid kernel May 18, 2021, 7:36 PM

#

^ Grouping them together works, too.

#

In which case they'd share a single turn, rather than sequential ones.

wheat tide May 18, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

Ah, okay

#

Thanks

viscid kernel May 18, 2021, 7:38 PM

#

And if you mount another creature mid-combat, you can use !i opt to accomplish either of the above solutions.

#

!i opt HO1 -p 12

or

!i opt "Tel Locus" -group Mounted
!i opt HO1 -group Mounted

Is there a way to roll with advantage with the bot? Like roll an attack with advantage? or roll 2d20 and pick the highest/lowest?

hushed lotus May 20, 2021, 12:51 AM

#

!i a "claw" adv

#

for skill checks, !c <skill> adv

#

disadvantage is using "dis" instead of "adv"

daring thistle May 20, 2021, 1:13 AM

#

is there away to target a group with a spells effect that is an explosion

#

without hitting them with the rest of the spell

fickle salmon May 20, 2021, 1:13 AM

#

Is this "ice knife"?

empty linden May 20, 2021, 1:14 AM

#

Use the -t <target name> in the attack/spell to target creatures.

daring thistle May 20, 2021, 1:20 AM

#

yes ice knife

#

ok but will it hit only one with the knife and the rest with the explosion

fickle salmon May 20, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

That I'll need to test.

daring thistle May 20, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

ok

#

how do you target multiple any way do you just put -t target target target or something else

fickle salmon May 20, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

-t <first target> -t <extra target> -t <last target>

daring thistle May 20, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

ok

fickle salmon May 20, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

So targeting a group with ice knife will attack the first person in the group with the piercing damage and hit the whole group with cold.

daring thistle May 20, 2021, 1:28 AM

ok

#

Or at least a good alternative

#

can someone tell me the command to use my breath weapons slot

daring thistle May 20, 2021, 10:33 AM

#

i use it in ! attack but it lets me keep using it over and over with out rests i want to know how to expend the usage slot for a dragonbornd breath weapon

tiny flicker May 20, 2021, 10:38 AM

#

If you use !cc or !cc list you should see a list of all your custom counters, and your breath weapon should show up there. To modify the counter for a feature, you can use !cc [feature name] ±X. For example, using one use of the Psychic Breath Weapon for an Emerald Gem Dragonborn, you'd type !cc "Psychic Breath Weapon" -1

#

!tutorial Playing the Game covers this at some point, I believe 🙂

daring thistle May 20, 2021, 10:41 AM

#

so is the feats metalic gem and other things for the ability scores and feats in dragonborns a new feature on beyond

tiny flicker May 20, 2021, 10:44 AM

I'm not sure I understand the question... Although if it's not Avrae-related it may be best to clarify in a different channel

I made this alias for attacking with Wails From The Grave and would work from breath weapons with a few tweaks.

!alias wails {{cc = 'Wails from the Grave'}}{{v = (ch:=character()).cc_exists(cc) and ch.get_cc(cc)}}{{['a wails', ch.mod_cc(cc, -1)][0] if v else f'''embed -title "{name} tries to use {cc}!" -desc "{'You are all out of uses of this feature. Try again later.' if ch.cc_exists(cc) else 'You do not have this classfeat'}" '''}} -thumb <image> -f "{{cc}} {{'(-1)' if v else ''}}| {{ch.cc_str(cc) if ch.cc_exists(cc) else '*None*'}}"

Gamedata Maintenance (May 20)
In order to deploy a fix related to certain monster actions not appearing in lookup for Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, Avrae will undergo a short maintenance at noon PDT (19:00 UTC, 30 minutes from now). During this time, Avrae will appear unavailable for approximately 15 minutes. After this maintenance, Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft will be available for lookup in Avrae. Thank you for your patience!

[12:00] - The maintenance is now in progress.
[12:08] - The maintenance is complete.

Is it possible to rename monster with avrea?

#

Or would you have to make them custom NPC's in !bestiary?

viscid kernel May 20, 2021, 8:39 PM

#

You can rename them in initiative.

#

Either when you add them: !i madd zombie -name Bob

#

Or after they've been added: !i opt ZO1 -name Bob

#

Outside of combat, you can add -title to most of the monster commands to replace the title entirely, including the name. !mc zombie stealth -title "Bob makes a Stealth check!"

#

avrae doesn't have the newest UA added yet, I wouldn't guess.

daring thistle May 21, 2021, 4:13 AM

so ill need to make a snippet or cc to utilize them in campains

#

or an alias

what are the commands for there abilities also what is the command for using items

pine sun May 22, 2021, 1:15 PM

#

Avrae does not have built-in commands for many class features by default. Avrae also does not have any built-in features for using items. You can look up items using !item <name>

daring thistle May 22, 2021, 1:16 PM

#

ok thanks

daring thistle May 22, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

is a spell scroll used through attack cast or something else

fickle salmon May 22, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

!cast "spell scroll spell" -i replacing spell scroll spell with the name of the spell on the scroll. The -i means ignore any spellcasting requirements...

daring thistle May 22, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

ok thank you

daring thistle May 22, 2021, 6:26 PM

#

would work the same for spells i would learn from a feat

viscid kernel May 22, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

If the feat lets you cast them without a spell slot, yeah, that’s the best way to do it.

daring thistle May 22, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

ok

daring thistle May 22, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

what command would i use for divine channeling for a cleric

viscid kernel May 22, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

You mean for Channel Divinity?

#

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

#

But for something like Turn Undead, you’d subtract the use of your Channel Divnity (!cc "channel divinity" -1), make the saving throw for the monsters (!ms zombie wis -rr 3 -dc 13), the determine who was turned or not.

#

But a lot of times, you can either automate that yourself or find an alias created by another user. The Alias Workshop is the best place to look for those.

fickle salmon May 22, 2021, 11:34 PM

#

A very good question. Generally, you can just use reset on 'long' rest. There's also an alias !dawn available on the Avrae Development Server that will reset a number of magic items like Staff of Flowers.

toxic hollow May 22, 2021, 11:35 PM

look at !help cc create

fickle salmon May 23, 2021, 1:06 AM

#

I helped her in DMs, Rev. But thank you for being willing to help.

flat drum May 23, 2021, 1:07 AM

I used to use !dawn and found -resetby to be an easier solution

daring thistle May 23, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

what about channel divinity preserve life

fickle salmon May 23, 2021, 2:47 PM

#

Same as last time. Avrae doesn't have built-in automation for most class features ~~yet~~.
You can use !cc "channel divinity" -1 and then handle the effects of Preserve Life.

viscid kernel May 23, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

If you’re in initiative, you can use !init hp <name> +5 to add 5 hp.

keen mauve May 23, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

Is there a generic "monster" stat block to add as a placeholder?

#

Or should I just pic a monster and go with that?

fickle salmon May 25, 2021, 10:19 PM

#

!init add 0 "<whatever you want to name the monster>" You can then use various options to add an AC score, hit points and position in initiative. See !help init add for details.

@tribal token If you're using the Encounter Builder/Combat Tracker to roll, you can connect the encounter to your campaign to allow Avrae to send you rolls by going to the character presets in the Encounter Builder and clicking on your campaign from there.

If you have the Two-Weapon Fighting Style, you can make two of the same attack. If not, it's two seperate attacks, like the bite and claw example.

!multiline is a command, that can be aliased.

I don't recommend it for attacks unless you aren't using initiative. More accurate to make each attack.

fickle salmon May 27, 2021, 1:41 PM

Actually, depending on the creature, the DM sometimes has to use a different target on each attack. See: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/tyrannosaurus-rex
Otherwise, the DM chooses whether to attack one target, or spread the damage around.

fickle salmon May 27, 2021, 1:45 PM

Multiattack. The marilith makes seven attacks: six with its longswords and one with its tail.
The description for the multiattack has no restrictions on targeting, and the tail attack can automatically hit anything the tail has grappled, but cannot target anything else.

daring thistle May 27, 2021, 1:47 PM

#

ok i was just checking for my own reasons and i wont correct my gm as ultimatly it is the gms rules that i should follow

minor vessel May 27, 2021, 1:48 PM

#

By default, if a creature is capable of making multiple attacks, they can distribute said attacks out to any creature they want to within reach however they want.

fickle salmon May 27, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

Making an attack (as set out in the Basic Rules) follows this three step process:

Choose a target. Pick a target within your attack's range: a creature, an object, or a location.

Determine modifiers. The DM determines whether the target has cover and whether you have advantage or disadvantage against the target. In addition, spells, special abilities, and other effects can apply penalties or bonuses to your attack roll.

Resolve the attack. You make the attack roll. On a hit, you roll damage, unless the particular attack has rules that specify otherwise. Some attacks cause special effects in addition to or instead of damage.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/combat#MakinganAttack

So you choose a target with every attack you can make and you can choose the order of these attacks if you have multiple different ones.

does death and unconciousness have different save rolls or the same one

empty linden May 27, 2021, 2:56 PM

#

That's more of a D&D rules question but when a character hits 0 HP they fall unconscious and start to make death saving throws. After 3 failed saves, the character is dead. After 3 successful saves, the character is unconscious but still alive. They will remain unconscious for 1d4 hours when they'll gain 1 hp and be conscious again.

daring thistle May 27, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

so if the gm is only using uncontious ness we dont make death saves

viscid kernel May 27, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

You can be unconscious and not at 0hp, in which case you would not make death saves.

daring thistle May 27, 2021, 2:58 PM

#

ok

viscid kernel May 27, 2021, 2:58 PM

#

But if your DM isn't using the standard rules for that situation, you'd have to ask them how it works instead. This is how it normally works:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/combat#Droppingto0HitPoints

daring thistle May 27, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

well i was asking for when he desides to apply death to the campain

viscid kernel May 27, 2021, 3:14 PM

#

If you're following the standard rules, you'd use !save death when it's your turn.

#

And it will automatically track how many successes or failures you've made.

daring thistle May 27, 2021, 3:20 PM

Senses: passive Perception 10.
Languages: Any one language (usually Common)
CR: 1/8 (25 XP)

If you want to view the full statblock in Avrae, there’s a few options.

round musk May 27, 2021, 11:19 PM

If a monster can make multiple attacks using a single action, it'll have a "Multiattack" action option or similar, listed separately from the individual attack options themselves. See the "Ape" statblock, for instance. (I just put it in #ddb-avrae-commands as an example.)

The developers are looking into ways to allow DMs and players to adjust who gets to see what rolls and in what detail. Basically roll privacy settings. But as of right now, everyone sees everybody’s rolls except monster rolls from the encounter builder which is private messaged to the DM.

Calculated: 2.9957322735539904
Avrae Roll: 2.9957322597018123

#

Before anyone asks, I'm not a stats major and I don't really understand what it means

#

Something to do with expected randomness or something

steady dew May 30, 2021, 7:22 AM

#

Calculated: 2.99573227
Avrae rolls: 2.99573225
Over 1,000,000,000 rolls, that's a lot of lower than average rolls.

flat drum May 30, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

How so? Every number averaged 5.00% chance of occurring.

flat drum May 30, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

Entropy is a scientific concept, as well as a measurable physical property that is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.

#

The most general interpretation of entropy is as a measure of our uncertainty about a system. The equilibrium state of a system maximizes the entropy because we have lost all information about the initial conditions except for the conserved variables; maximizing the entropy maximizes our ignorance about the details of the system. This uncertainty is not of the everyday subjective kind, but rather the uncertainty inherent to the experimental method and interpretative model.

can someone help me using cure wounds properly on avrae

fickle salmon May 30, 2021, 8:20 PM

#

If you're in initiative, !cast "cure wounds" -t <ally> will give the targeted <ally> back the appropriate hit points.
If you're not in initiative, take the result from !cast "cure wounds" and have the appropriate player use !g hp +<result> replacing <result> with the number "cure wounds" gave.

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 8:24 PM

#

ok thank you

#

can anyone recomend a good dragonborn alias

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

You can check the Alias Workshop to see what’s available.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/workshop

#

But if you’re using a DDB sheet and the main dragonborn race, all of that should be imported into Avrae automatically.

#

Your breath weapon and resistance, that is.

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 8:45 PM

#

well i was looking for something that registered the breath attack and suptracted the counter automatickly after use

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

Ah! Right, I forgot about the counter.

#

You can set that up pretty easily on the Avrae Dashboard, though.

fickle salmon May 30, 2021, 8:50 PM

#

There's hope that in the future, basic functions like a dragonborn's breath weapon will be automated just like the addition of the counter is... but that's a semi-distant future, with no specific dates.

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

alright

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

For now, though, you can go here. Mouse over your character portrait and click the wrench that appears to add an attack.

#

how do we apply the gift of the cromatic dragons manifested wings to our ac

#

i mean matalic dragon

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

There’s not really a great option for that in Avrae, honestly.

#

If you know you’re going to use it before the attack, you can have the attacker specify the AC to use instead.

#

!init attack longsword -ac 17

#

If you’re using it after the fact and that turns out to make it a miss, the target probably has to re-add the HP they lost.

#

!init hp <name> +8

flat drum May 30, 2021, 9:44 PM

#

You can also have the attacker add -b -1d4 simulating the ac bonus

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 9:48 PM

#

well it is a reaction to them being attacked

#

or me being attacked

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

Right. And since Avrae rolls attack and damage at the same time, that makes it hard to account for reactions like that.

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:03 PM

#

so we would have to roll a d4 indapidantly and see if it still hits after that heal if it misses and do nothing if it faild to help

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:19 PM

#

isnt there a reaction command for avrae

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 10:26 PM

#

Pretty much the only built-in options for reactions are !init aoo and !init reactcast.

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:33 PM

#

Those are for reacting using monsters

#

(Or any non-pc combatant)

#

PCs can use !cast and !attack like normal when it is not their turn for reactions.

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 10:36 PM

#

(Those do still work for PCs, though.)

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:37 PM

#

The way that feat is worded, it sounds like you can choose to use it after the attack is rolled, so you can either decide to try it before the attack and add -b -1d4 added to the attack or roll the d4 after and add hp back.

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 10:37 PM

#

But yeah, if you are the PC, !a/!cast is way simpler.

#

More simple? Is “simpler” a word?

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:39 PM

#

(When I don't know I reword it)
...~~much~~ easier.

#

lol

#

What do I know about grammar? I'm a native English speaker.

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:39 PM

#

is the simplest way

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:40 PM

#

Do you use init?

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:41 PM

#

we do but im not sure the manifest wings is would be under attack or cast

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:41 PM

#

It isn't built-in

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:41 PM

#

i think ill just manualy roll a d4 and see if it makes a differance

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:42 PM

#

That works.
Announce you are using it, roll the d4, and if it alters the results, either heal the damage back or the GM can decide not to target and apply the damage if it hits.

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

i know the gifts of the dragons is a relatively new feat and is only in its teasting phases but im surprised no one has made aliases for them yet

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

Feel free

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

i have no talent for coding

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:44 PM

#

Any reactions in Avrae that alter the to-hit are difficult to automate anyway since you decide to use it after the attack.

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

yes but the other two would be simple to automate i guess the telekinetic slam reaction to hit something that is within 10ft or less away from you and push it back and deal a dice rolls damage to it in psychic dmg, and the one that infuses weapons with elemental damage of your choice

flat drum May 30, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

you can go here. Mouse over your character portrait and click the wrench that appears to add an attack.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/characters

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 10:57 PM

#

yes i think i might but maybe it be simplest to just do seperat rolls for those things

#

one more question is there away to add damage to an attack

viscid kernel May 30, 2021, 11:04 PM

#

Yeah. Add -d <amount>.

#

!a dagger -d 1d6
!a longsword -d 2d4[fire]

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 11:24 PM

#

ok

keen mauve May 30, 2021, 11:28 PM

#

If it's magical you'd do -d "2d4 [magical slashing]" with the quotes

daring thistle May 30, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

ok ill use that feature for the cromatic dragons infusing a weapon i touch with an additional d4 of damage type acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison

#

and ill use !cc "Gift of Chromatic Damage" -1 to let the gm know ive used it and tell everyone what element i choose to infuse to a weapon so they know witch damage to use

crystal galleon Jun 1, 2021, 3:16 AM

#

so, this is more of a dicecloud help, but does anyone know how to actually properly set a breath weapon as an attack option?

#

i can get the damage to be applied perfectly fine, as well as the damage TYPE, but i can't, for the life of me, figure out how to make the target roll the dex save

Hi there! Total newbie at coding here! I was wondering if there was an easy way to code rolling a specific set of dice + an ability modifier by using a single word command. Like just entering a small command like “!r damage” will roll 4d8 + STR mod or something similar?

viscid kernel Jun 8, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

You can set that up as an alias pretty easily.

#

!alias damage roll 4d8+{{strengthMod}}
!damage

#

Or you could set it up as an attack.

!attack add damage -d 4d8+{{strengthMod}}
!attack damage

flat drum Jun 8, 2021, 10:12 PM

#

If you have a character sheet imported, you can also roll your attacks or checks.

#

!attack dagger will roll to-hit and damage

#

(Assuming you have a dagger equipped on your sheet.)

#

!check strength will roll a... you guessed it! A strength check.

torpid beacon Jun 9, 2021, 5:16 AM

#

How do you add magic weapon effect to your attack?

viscid kernel Jun 9, 2021, 5:23 AM

-b 1 -d 1 magical

#

-b adds a bonus to the attack roll. -d adds it to the damage.

#

And magical marks the damage as magical.

Hello, I'm playing around with Avrae a bit and I saw that it is possible to have rolls on character sheets directly be sent to the discord chat. Tried it and it does work but the chat only gives the raw dice result with none of the modifiers applied. It also doesn't specify what type of roll it was (like an attack, or an athletics check). I know I can do all those roll with commands in avrae but it would just be great if it could be done from the sheet with just a clic and a nice virtual dice. It's satisfying to see it roll you know ^^. Is there something I am not seeing or is it just the state of the integration for now ?

fickle salmon Jun 9, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

How are you rolling the dice on your character sheet?

brave fractal Jun 9, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

Clicking on the values, like the +6 next to the attack name

fickle salmon Jun 9, 2021, 3:22 PM

#

Do you have any third-party extensions, such as Beyond20?

brave fractal Jun 9, 2021, 3:22 PM

#

Yes

fickle salmon Jun 9, 2021, 3:23 PM

#

Beyond20 is known to interfere with the proper rolling on the character sheets. Since it is not supported by D&D Beyond, disabling that extension should allow proper functioning of the dice roll feature with Avrae.

brave fractal Jun 9, 2021, 3:24 PM

Ah yes thank you very much : ) It was just a bit of conflict!

#

Is there a way for a DM to initiate an !update for another player after editing their char sheet?

fickle salmon Jun 9, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

Not that I am aware of. The principle is that each player's character is owned and controlled by one user, except the limited information shared when joining !init.

vale temple Jun 9, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

That's fine, it would be a good feature as Beyond allows a DM to edit other players sheets in their campaigns (I just assigned a sidekick)...

fickle salmon Jun 9, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

Sidekicks aren't really supported in Avrae either, so there isn't anything to !update.

How do I hide what the monster is from my players?

#

To avoid meta gaming

fickle salmon Jun 11, 2021, 12:38 AM

#

Use the -h tag for checks and saves.

#

You can also give the monster a non-descriptive name like "Bob" with the -name argument in !init madd. That will prevent them from knowing whether "Bob" is a mere Acolyte or something scarier...

It would look something like:

like !i madd Orc -name Smorky would add Smorky to the initiaitive, but use the statblock of an Orc.

#

to show some random example

#

but yes -h is very useful.

empty linden Jun 11, 2021, 11:37 AM

#

Yep - hide the extra metadata from the players!

steady dew Jun 11, 2021, 11:37 AM

#

like just then, I did that

#

#ddb-avrae-commands message

you don't know what it is, what the attack bonus is, what it rolled, what the damage dice are, what it adds to damage

#

it got 23 to hit and did 18 slashing damage, that's all you know

#

also, you can do that in initiative too

#

!i madd Orc -name Smork -h would add Smork to the initiative, using the statblock of an Orc, but not hide the data. It'd say their AC, HP

flat drum Jun 11, 2021, 11:49 AM

#

empty linden For monster saves it would look like: `!ms <save type like dexterity> -h`

!ms <"monster name"> <save type> -h

#

!ms goblin dex -h

steady dew Jun 11, 2021, 11:59 AM

#

!m(onster)(c(heck)/a(ttack)/s(aving throw)) monstername (attack/ability(check)/skill/ability(save))

#

hm maybe ad what kind of attacks and abilitys it has

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

I did that so this channel didn't think I was trying the actual command

hidden robin Jun 11, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

if it dosent have a scimitar attack for example you cant use it

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

The base monster is a Goblin

minor vessel Jun 11, 2021, 12:37 PM

#

Try just !ma goblin scimitar

#

To hide the name, you can do !ma goblin scimitar -h

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 12:37 PM

#

That will come up as just a Goblin though, right?

viscid kernel Jun 11, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

When it’s Bob’s turn and you want to attack as Bob, you’d use !init attack scimitar

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

The "-h" is to hide the monster name?

minor vessel Jun 11, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

It would appear as a goblin, yes. -h is for hiding

viscid kernel Jun 11, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

When it’s not Bob’s turn and you want to attack as Bob, you’d use !init aoo bob scimitar

minor vessel Jun 11, 2021, 12:39 PM

#

If you're currently using Avrae's initiative though, Spam's advice works

steady dew Jun 11, 2021, 12:39 PM

#

you can also forgo the nit in init to just do !i aoo name attack

viscid kernel Jun 11, 2021, 12:39 PM

#

!ma only lets you attack with a generic monster statblock, not a specific combatant.

#

But if you don’t want to -hide things, you can use !ma goblin scimitar -title "Bob attacks with a scimitar!"

steady dew Jun 11, 2021, 12:40 PM

#

also, if you're not in initiative, Avrae won't know who Bob is, unless you have a critterDB Bestiary hooked up with Bob in there.

#

since it'll see !ma bob scimitar and go "What monster is called bob????"

#

but in initiative, on the initiative mark named Bob, !i a scimitar will have whatever statblock put in and given the name bob, make a scimitar attack

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

Gotcha! So I can just hide the monster type at initiative then too?

viscid kernel Jun 11, 2021, 12:45 PM

#

It’s hidden by default.

#

All your players will know is that there’s a creature called “Bob”.

#

Adding -h in this case actually unhides it, letting them see the HP, AC, etc.

#

Which is useful for any player-controlled creatures like familiars.

steady dew Jun 11, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

!i madd Goblin -name Bob will add a combatant named Bob to the initiative (as opposed to GO1 which is short for goblin 1), all info hidden, but use a goblin statblock (saves, attacks, abilities, hp, AC)

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

So here's another dumb question. Can I hide multiples of the same type monster at initiative?

steady dew Jun 11, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

in what sense?

#

that there's multiple of them?

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

In the sense I don't want the players knowing what they are from the get go

#

Like GO1-2-3, etc

#

I don't care if they know how many, I just don't want to get meta'd!lol

steady dew Jun 11, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

you can rename them I think. it'd be like Bob1 Bob2 and etc, I think...

keen mauve Jun 11, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

I think they want to hide the monster's position in the initiative

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Nope, not hiding initiative. Just the monster type

keen mauve Jun 11, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Then yeah you should be able to rename them when adding the monsters

sinful dagger Jun 11, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Each individual monster?

flat drum Jun 11, 2021, 1:10 PM

Hi! Hello! How is everyone? I've encountered a small problem with my hexblade... I doubt it's a new problem but I decided to seek help nontheless! Even though dndb allows me to make a maul my hex weapon, as I do have pact of the blade, which should allow me to wield almost any weapon as my hex weapon, Avrae seems to not understand that. Not only does it not let me make a maul a hex weapon, it doesn't let me make it a pact weapon either, even though I tried it with both or only 1 checked in dndb. Anyone know a solution? Am I just being dumb here?

manic estuary Jun 12, 2021, 9:40 PM

#

One thing to try is refreshing your Beyond sheet. Sometimes things with checkboxes don't actually get checked off properly for some reason and refreshing will then show its true state and you can check it and it'll import fine. (Might be something else this time, but worth a shot)

gritty prism Jun 12, 2021, 9:41 PM

Surprisingly, that actually worked. Thank you very much!

Hi I'm trying to get a sidekick / combatant to attack !init attack quaterstaff -t manticore but keep getting an attack not found error (how do I add this attack to the combatant or get avrae to ignore the fact ther chat has no attacks - I used -i to get them to cast but that don't work with attacks...

viscid kernel Jun 13, 2021, 1:55 PM

#

You can use !init attack list to see which attacks are available to the current combatant.

#

You can use an effect to add an attack to that combatant.
!init effect <name> -attack "[hit]|[damage]|[description]"

#

So !init effect Quarterstaff -attack "3|1d6+1[bludgeoning]|"

#

And finally, you can also use a custom attack.

vale temple Jun 13, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

Yeah I just added these to the encounter so they have only AC and HP, so the attack list is empty.

viscid kernel Jun 13, 2021, 1:59 PM

#

!init attack quarterstaff -custom -b 3 -d 1d6+1[bludgeoning]

#

But the best solution overall, especially if this sidekick is joining multiple battles, would be to create them as a homebrew monster.

keen mauve Jun 13, 2021, 2:00 PM

#CritterDB

#

Ah I see, it's a bit awkward as they are sat on my players extras on char sheet...

viscid kernel Jun 13, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

Yeah. To use them directly in Avrae, you’d need to create a statblock for them on https://critterdb.com/ to match the sheet version, then import it with the !bestiary command.

vale temple Jun 13, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

Thanks guys!

keen mauve Jun 13, 2021, 2:04 PM

flat drum Jun 13, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

viscid kernel `!init attack quarterstaff -custom -b 3 -d 1d6+1[bludgeoning]`

I recommend adding a damage type to this. -d "1d6+1[slashing]"

#

If there's no damage type, it will bypass all resistances, vulnerabilities and immunities.

how do i add non weapon attacks to a monster using critterDB? like fire breath on a red dragon and such

fickle salmon Jun 13, 2021, 3:23 PM

#

That's the one task that isn't available on CritterDB automation. The hope is, in the FUTURE, when the D&D Beyond homebrew system is complete and hooked up into Avrae properly, save attacks will be automateable.

wet junco Jun 13, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

ok

#

my best bet now is to just improvise using weapon attacks

fickle salmon Jun 13, 2021, 3:27 PM

Or, there's an alias called !use available in the Avrae Workshop that allows creation of save attacks. If you have any difficulties with the !use alias, I'll invite you to ask in the #alias-help section on the Avrae Development Server. https://support.avrae.io/

You click on the Share button on your character sheet and copy the link there. Go to a channel that Avrae is listening in and type !beyond and paste the link. That will become your active character in Avrae.

Be sure to include the space after !beyond and before pasting the link.

fickle salmon Jun 15, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

One of the guiding principles behind Avrae is "player agency". Without joining an !init there is no way for a player or DM to affect the character of another player. And even !init is limited in what it can do.

#

So no, each player will have to rest their own characters.

You're using the !init command? Then it's likely you aren't using the -t tag for targetting. Even if there's only two combatants, Avrae doesn't know who you're trying to attack unless you use -t go1 when you attack or -t and your character's name when it's the goblin's turn.

No one’s answered this so I’ll answer it: No, only the player can pull up their own character sheet. If you want to see it, have the player do !sheet

flat drum Jun 17, 2021, 12:00 PM

#

If they uploaded their sheet in your discord, you can sometimes search for their upload post.

#

It will have the url to their character.

#

Embed when rolling from Beyond seems to have stopped working. I've tried reloading my character data in Avrae, but that didn't fix it.

gusty egret Jun 17, 2021, 5:12 PM

#

No extensions?

past cape Jun 17, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

Nope

gusty egret Jun 17, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

And the !campaign is correct still?

past cape Jun 17, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

Yes

gusty egret Jun 17, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

Does it happen with other characters/campaigns?

#

And are both you and the DM properly setup with !ddb

past cape Jun 17, 2021, 5:25 PM

#

Yes, we are. and yes, it does appear to happen with other characters in other campaigns

gusty egret Jun 17, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

Weird, I'd recommend saying something on the dev discord.

past cape Jun 17, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

Okay, got it

flat drum Jun 17, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

Resolved.
Generic dice rolls show up in discord similar to the !roll command while !check and !save are embeds.

vale temple Jun 18, 2021, 10:51 AM

#

Im reading on a few customisation's that I should subscribe to the !level gvar - how do I do that?

#

Is it simply a case of creating a !level alais with
a55768e6-9b31-4dfc-9fbd-2a601e419823 as its command?

fickle salmon Jun 18, 2021, 10:55 AM

#

The !level alias is available in the Alias Workshop under Verbose Character Tools: https://avrae.io/dashboard/workshop/5f7385fe647bb0a416316d1d

Generally, alias help is beyond the scope of the help offered here, but more people are available to help in the Avrae Development Discord: https://support.avrae.io/

Verbose Character Tools

Aliases for setting up counters based on levels (!level) and race (!setrace), along with managing additional cvars (!manage) for display on !vsheet, and also !vsheet.

Is there a way to add the extra damage from orcish fury to your attack while making it?

#

!init attack greataxe -t <target>

#

Is there a way to put it into there to add the extra damage die?

fickle salmon Jun 18, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

!init attack greataxe -d1 1d12 -t <target>

midnight condor Jun 18, 2021, 8:54 PM

Ok, thanks!

midnight condor Jun 19, 2021, 4:15 AM

#

Is there a way to do a reaction attack?

#

Like a specific command or is it just the regular attack command?

minor vessel Jun 19, 2021, 4:16 AM

#

For players, just a regular attack works if you've got the character active currently.

For monsters, while in initiative, you can do !i aoo <monster> <attackName> <args>

midnight condor Jun 19, 2021, 4:17 AM

Ok, thanks

midnight condor Jun 19, 2021, 5:34 AM

Is there a way to add a character sheet to Avrae without using D&D beyond?

hushed lotus Jun 19, 2021, 5:36 AM

#

Use either the gsheet or Dicecloud, yeah

midnight condor Jun 19, 2021, 5:36 AM

#

How do you do that?

#

Specific command please

#

Hello?

hushed lotus Jun 19, 2021, 5:42 AM

#

!gsheet <url> or !dicecloud <url>

midnight condor Jun 19, 2021, 5:43 AM

As always, you can type !help for instructions on commands.

I am wondering how do I use my hexblade curse

fickle salmon Jun 19, 2021, 11:27 PM

#

Step 1) Tell your DM you're using your Hexblade Curse.
Step 2) Add -d {proficiencyBonus} -criton 19 to every attack you make against your cursed target
Step 2b) Set up a snippet for that string ahead of time with !snippet curse -d {proficiencyBonus} -criton 19
Step 3) Use !game hp to increase your HP when your cursed target dies...

dire kraken Jun 19, 2021, 11:28 PM

#

I can’t use the actual like command is there one

fickle salmon Jun 19, 2021, 11:30 PM

#

No, there aren't any commands to use class features ~~yet~~. The snippet method is the easiest method with current features.

rapid root Jun 20, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

Wait

#

They told you what to do

#

What's the issue?

dire kraken Jun 20, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

I thought there would be a actual way to use like !use hexblades curse

rapid root Jun 20, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

You can manually remove the cc and it'll show what it does, then add the snippet to attacks

#

!cc "Hexblade's Curse" -1

flat drum Jun 20, 2021, 12:17 AM

#

!use as a note, isn't part of the bot either but a user-made alias

midnight condor Jun 20, 2021, 12:55 AM

#

How do upcast a spell?

flat drum Jun 20, 2021, 12:55 AM

#

!cast "cure wounds" -l 3

#

that's an L not a 1

fickle salmon Jun 20, 2021, 12:56 AM

#

Add the -l <level> tag. That an 'l' as in level.

midnight condor Jun 20, 2021, 12:56 AM

Okay

Thanks

Is there a way to add a initiative to the initiative without having a creature/player do it?

fickle salmon Jun 20, 2021, 1:35 AM

#

If you're asking if someone else can cause a player to join !init without the player typing !init join then no. The most common workaround is never ending combat and just !init reroll to get all the people still in initiative (usually the players) to get new rolls.

manic estuary Jun 20, 2021, 1:35 AM

#

If you're asking if you can add a generic combatant/placeholder, then look at !help init add

fickle salmon Jun 20, 2021, 1:37 AM

#

☝️ This is most useful for lair actions where you can use !init add 0 "Lair Actions" -p 20 to be reminded to do the lair action.

midnight condor Jun 20, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

One of the players in a campaign I’m in kinda refuses to use anything for their characters sheet besides a physical thing, and since I’m not the DM I can’t exactly make them switch to something like Gsheet of ddb, but I want initiative to run as smoothly as possible so that’s why I was asking

fickle salmon Jun 20, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

I know how you feel, half the players on my main D&D Discord don't have their characters loaded into Avrae either. Meaning every time they need to make a check, they get the number from their character sheet and go !roll 1d20+<modifier> to get the results.

young arch Jun 20, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

Anyone got a sneak attack snippet handy?

hushed lotus Jun 20, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

one sec, I got you

#

!snippet sa {{dice=ceil(int(get('RogueLevel',level))/2)}} -d1 "{{dice}}d6" -f "Sneak Attack|Once per turn, you can deal an extra {{dice}}d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll."

!cc create Exhaustion -min 0 -max 6 -reset long -resetto 0

amber swallow Jun 20, 2021, 11:50 AM

nice thanks

fickle salmon Jun 20, 2021, 11:51 AM

You can also change -resetto 0 to -resetby -1 to decrement the counter by 1 each long rest.\

amber swallow Jun 20, 2021, 11:58 AM

where can i read such syntax resetto and restby, the cc help dont list them

I don’t understand how to add a armor class and hp to a generic combatant while in initiative, can someone help me? Please and thank you

viscid kernel Jun 20, 2021, 9:14 PM

You can do it when you add them.

!i add 0 Bob -hp 20 -ac 12

#

Or you can change it after adding.

!i opt Bob -hp 20 -max 20 -ac 12

midnight condor Jun 20, 2021, 9:17 PM

Ok, thanks

How do you remove resistances while in initiative

viscid kernel Jun 22, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

!i opt GO1 -neutral fire

midnight condor Jun 22, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

Is it the same for PCs?

viscid kernel Jun 22, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

I… don’t actually know. 😅

minor vessel Jun 22, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

Should be, yeah. !i opt stuff works for anyone in initiative

viscid kernel Jun 22, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

Yes, it does. 👍

#

The next time they join, their resistances will be reset to normal, too.

midnight condor Jun 22, 2021, 4:57 AM

#

It doesn’t seem to work for my character, when I do !init status while it’s my character’s turn it still shows that he’s resistant to nonmagical bps even though I did the command, and it still says that on his next turn

#

!init opt Rahanir -neutral "nonmagical bludgeoning" -neutral "nonmagical piercing" -neutral "nonmagical slashing"
This is the command I used

viscid kernel Jun 22, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

It worked on my character, but that was just -neutral psychic.

#

Can you try it in #ddb-avrae-commands?

midnight condor Jun 22, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

Sure

wet junco Jun 22, 2021, 9:30 AM

How do I import a character from Beyond into Avrae

young arch Jun 22, 2021, 9:31 AM

#

.!beyond <URL>

#

no dot at the statr

wet junco Jun 22, 2021, 9:31 AM

#

Ok

#

So if I delete them in Beyond I will still have them in Avrae

hushed lotus Jun 22, 2021, 9:32 AM

#

yes, but you won't be able to update them

wet junco Jun 22, 2021, 9:32 AM

#

Oh

#

Cause I was counting on updating them

hushed lotus Jun 22, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

it... literally draws from beyond to update and get info to populate.

wet junco Jun 22, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

So I have extra slots in Beyond

steady dew Jun 22, 2021, 9:38 AM

#

Avrae saves a snapshot freezeframe of what the character was at that time

#

so any changes or deletion doesn't immediately occur

#

when you run !update then Avrae reads what the character sheet link says to avrae, such as changing them from Dakarna the Goblin Warlock of the Great Old One, into Mezzyiet the Gnome Wizard Order of Scribes, and then changes accordingly

hey! i'm having an issue when using the dnd beyond app where avrae posts rolls from characters that are not linked to a campaign

torpid drift Jun 22, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

Looking for help in the process of importing a Spell FROM Beyond's Homebrew... into my Avrae Tome.. so I can then use it in my server.

Only thing I'm seeing in the tome for uploading a spell is through a JSON... which in Beyond I don't see as an option to export.

steady dew Jun 23, 2021, 12:50 AM

#

You just need to copy it.

torpid drift Jun 23, 2021, 12:53 AM

#

Like... recreate it?

fickle salmon Jun 23, 2021, 12:54 AM

#

We'd love to have a better means to transfer homebrew from Beyond into Avrae; however, the overhaul of the homebrew system at Beyond needs to be in a stable state before merging can be considered.

torpid drift Jun 23, 2021, 12:58 AM

#

So that's a "Yes'. I need to recreate the spell in my Avrae Tome. Since I can't seem to find a way to make it a JSON.

steady dew Jun 23, 2021, 12:59 AM

#

yes

viscid kernel Jun 23, 2021, 12:59 AM

#

You should be able to just copy/paste the text into the necessary fields, though.

fickle salmon Jun 23, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

It's a yes for now. Ideally, it will be all automatic in the future.

viscid kernel Jun 23, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

Automating it is the tricky part, but if you share the spell details here, we can lend a hand.

torpid drift Jun 23, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

Right.. not a bit issue to Recreate for now. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing somethig.

#

I just have a cantrip right now... more or less a Psionic Pretidigitation... nothing really to automate yet.

#

If I have issues with the next spell I'll definitely come here for help.

#

I would just like to be able to !cast it though.. which I should be able to do once the !tome is imported.

fickle salmon Jun 23, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

Well, since prestidigitation is an SRD spell, you can look at the automation behind it and easily make similar modifications. If there is none, the text copying is all you need to !cast it.

torpid drift Jun 23, 2021, 1:05 AM

#

Lovely. thank you.

viscid kernel Jun 23, 2021, 1:39 AM

#

Yeah, prestidigitation itself has no automation.

#

So filling in the spell text is all you need to do to be able to cast it.

torpid drift Jun 24, 2021, 2:45 AM

#

Okay.. new spell.. automation help time

#

https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/1029244-psychic-raiments The spell details

#

I tried copying and editing the JSON for Mage Armor for the first part... but it didn't like something I did.

flat drum Jun 24, 2021, 2:56 AM

#

Jsonlint.com

#

Is a good spot to check your json

#

Otherwise you can upload the attack on the dashboard and edit it there.

#

Avrae.io/dashboard

#

Beyond spells don't import to avrae

torpid drift Jun 24, 2021, 3:01 AM

#

Right... it's building the attack and the AC modifier on the dashboard that I don't understand.

fickle salmon Jun 24, 2021, 3:07 AM

#

That's a single ieffect where you set -ac {12+charismaMod} -attack "{spell+proficiencyBonus}|1d8 [psychic]|Description of attack".

I think I've almost got it finished, just need to test it...

torpid drift Jun 24, 2021, 3:09 AM

#

Yeah.. just seeing the Mage Armor spell on jsonlint.com helped out a LOT with the automation editor. Wasn't sure how to word the effect though.

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

@visual hollow To start, you can put that in a snippet instead. Just replace X here with whatever you want to call it:

!snippet X -d 3[force]

#

And then apply it to the attack/spell by including the name as an argument.

!attack longsword X

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

can you give me an example of the snippet

#

what I could put in the X and couldn't

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:03 PM

#

What's the name of your item?

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:03 PM

#

Mask (Beetle)

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:03 PM

#

So you could call it mask or beetle or mb or...

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:03 PM

#

!snippet mb -d 3[force]

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

You can actually run it in #ddb-avrae-commands if you want to see.

#

Another option, but this one only works when you're in initiative:

#

!i effect <your_name> "Mask (Beetle)" -d 3[force]

#

Then it will automatically apply to any attack you make (but again, only while in initiative).

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:07 PM

#

we go in and out of initiative a lot, so I'd stick to the snippet

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:07 PM

#

Fair enough.

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:07 PM

#

since I made the snippet here, would it still work in the other server? or do I have to do that again there?

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:07 PM

#

Yeah, it should work there already.

#

A third option, though, is an alias.

#

I'll call it ma for mask attack.

!alias ma attack &*& -d 3[force]

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

does that mean I could shortcut casting spells to something?

#

oh

#

There's 13 masks, so don't know if that would work 100%

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

WAIT. ma won't work. <_<

#

That name's already taken.

fickle salmon Jun 24, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

Aliases and snippets are tied to the Discord user, not the server. So your new mb snippet will work in any server Avrae is in.

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

But with a different name like bob, you'd then !bob longsword and it'll apply the damage automatically.

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

can you snippet a whole attack?

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 3:11 PM

#

You can alias a whole attack.

#

Or you can just create a new attack directly in Avrae with whatever you need.

visual hollow Jun 24, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

it's pretty simple right now anyway

#

the mb snippet helps a lot though

#

thanks for the help - plus now I know this part of this discord exists lmao

grim scaffold Jun 24, 2021, 10:28 PM

#

Anybody know if you can do an effect like hexblade’s curse on a target with Avrae?

viscid kernel Jun 24, 2021, 10:42 PM

#

It would probably work better as a snippet instead.

!snippet curse -d {{proficiencyBonus}} -criton 19

#

And then you can apply it to attacks against that target as needed.

!attack longsword -t HE1 curse

grim scaffold Jun 24, 2021, 10:44 PM

Ok thanks

how do you set someone's ac

#

#

o someone sent it to me

#

fickle salmon Jun 25, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

Avrae reads the AC off your character sheet. If you're in !init you can use !init opt <name> -ac # replacing <name> with your character's name and # with the AC you want to set it to.

visual hollow Jun 25, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

that works too

#

thanks

visual hollow Jun 25, 2021, 12:37 AM

#

It's -rr to do an attack twice right?

#

don't know whyt I asked, could just try it lmao

fickle salmon Jun 25, 2021, 12:38 AM

#

No problem, it's why it was a polite reminder, in case it was done mistakenly.

viscid kernel Jun 25, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

Yes, -rr 3 would make three attacks against each target.

when you make an attack add -t <target name>

#

EG !attack longsword -t av1

I'm sorry for the somewhat hefty request, but could someone teach me how to a simple encounter through avrae?

Avrae can teach you!

#

how do you roll with advantage on a manual roll

#

like a !r 4d6

#

not one of the actual attack commands

viscid kernel Jun 25, 2021, 1:21 PM

#

For advantage, you’d normally roll 2d20 and keep the highest one.

#

That’s !r 2d20kh1

empty linden Jun 25, 2021, 1:21 PM

#

!r 2d20kh1

#

Spam beat me to it

hidden bronze Jun 25, 2021, 1:21 PM

#

so that would effectively work with more dice like this?
