Add adv to your attack command and have the DM do the same when targeting you on the subsequent round.

brisk shore Feb 5, 2022, 3:29 AM

#

Our group is all new to this. Where would the adv fall in the command sequence?

fickle salmon Feb 5, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

Anywhere after the attack name. So something like !a longsword adv or !a greataxe -t WO1 adv

brisk shore Feb 5, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

ok

#

thank you 👍

wet junco Feb 5, 2022, 4:27 PM

#

how do you add a penalty to an attack roll without it being DIS? like the -5 to hit from Sharpshooter

viscid kernel Feb 5, 2022, 4:28 PM

#

-b -5

wet junco Feb 5, 2022, 4:37 PM

You also throw in the bonus to damage with -d 10

How do I get avrae to stop printing rolls to my Discord? We're using another tool now, and the Discord rolls from DnDB are redundant and annoying.

I tried to read the documentation and do some googling, but everything I can find seems centered around setting Avrae up instead.

#

Nevermind... found it in the documentation

!campaign remove <name>

flat drum Feb 7, 2022, 11:26 AM

#

Google is not very good at Avrae

#

the !help command is your best bet

hidden shore Feb 7, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

Does Avrae not work with homebrew?

viscid kernel Feb 7, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

Depends on what you mean by "work with" and "homebrew".

#

What exactly are you trying to do?

empty linden Feb 7, 2022, 4:24 PM

#

If you’re asking about DnDBeyond homebrew spells/monsters etc, Avrae does not really have a way to connect it all together (yet). Avrae does have ways to import homebrew monsters and spells but it uses tools outside of DnDBeyond or uses the Avrae Dashboard.

viscid kernel Feb 7, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

Yeah, whatever homebrew you're trying to use is probably doable.

#

But the solution depends on the type of homebrew.

hidden shore Feb 8, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

Spells specifically. I tried to use !cast to use a homebrew spell but Avrae didn't have it on my list of spells

viscid kernel Feb 8, 2022, 2:21 AM

#

You’ll have to add them in Avrae as well using the Avrae Dashboard.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/homebrew/spells

fickle salmon Feb 8, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

Then you'll have to activate your homebrew spells from the Dashboard using the !tome command. See !help tome for details.

v3.3.6 (1585)
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v3.3.6

Improvements

When casting a spell at a higher level through !cast or a Cast Spell Automation node, the output will now include the spell's "At Higher Levels" information
Improved the parsing of attacks from homebrew monsters without explicit <avrae hidden> annotations (thanks @Croebh.restart() (They/Them)!)

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the extra_crit_dice character setting was not applying correctly to set-based dice strings (e.g. (1d8, 1d8)kh1 + 5)
Fixed an issue where the homebrew monster parser could fail to recognize when a creature only had one spell slot of a given level (thanks @Infinidoge.snek!)

empty linden Feb 10, 2022, 1:38 PM

@fluid dome -ask your Avrae/DnDBeyond questions here.

#

Or I guess #ddb-support also works.

vast lotus Feb 10, 2022, 1:45 PM

Link you discord account to your D&D Beyond from the website. This will let you access your purchased content
You can link your accounts via this link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

fluid dome Feb 10, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

There are three ways to link D&D Beyond and avrae

Link you discord account to your D&D Beyond from the website. This will let you access your purchased content
Link a specific character to Avrae, this will let you pull up their abilities and roll using then
Link a campaign to Avrae, this will let rolls from the game log appear in discord and vice versa

#

How do i do numbers one and three

vast lotus Feb 10, 2022, 1:46 PM

#

You can link your accounts via this link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

#

You can find more info here: https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ddb.html

fluid dome Feb 10, 2022, 1:47 PM

#

ok it shows it is already linked so how do i do the third thing

vast lotus Feb 10, 2022, 1:47 PM

#

It should be the !campaign command i believe

fluid dome Feb 10, 2022, 1:48 PM

#

thanks

#

and homebrew or npc and enemy creation is not available except through critterDB

#

is that correct

#

or is there another way for npcs

steady dew Feb 10, 2022, 1:50 PM

#

it is, it's just that DDB / CritterDB have pros and cons on making monsters on them.

#

I personally much prefer CritterDB for easy editing and easy formatting

#

and Avrae compatibility.

fluid dome Feb 10, 2022, 1:51 PM

#

so how do i get the npcs into my campaign or discord server ame

#

game

#

ok

#

so what about npcs and homebrew items

#

do i put them in a campaign and then import the campaign or else if there is no way to use the content what is the point of deveoping them in ddb

steady dew Feb 10, 2022, 1:54 PM

#

NPCs, you can make on CritterDB.

fluid dome Feb 10, 2022, 1:54 PM

#

k

steady dew Feb 10, 2022, 1:54 PM

#

Items, I think you can make item packs on Avrae just as you can make Tomes of spells

flat drum Feb 10, 2022, 1:58 PM

#

You can also use monsters as npc

#

There are monsters like commoner and druid

fluid dome Feb 10, 2022, 1:58 PM

#

k

steady dew Feb 10, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

you'd use statblocks as any other non player character

flat drum Feb 10, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

You can also use a DM character sheet

steady dew Feb 10, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

a player character has a character sheet, and NPCs do not - it's less stuff that you have to track

flat drum Feb 10, 2022, 2:00 PM

#

You can also just roll dice for a paper NPC sheet

#

!r 1d20+2

#

Or you can roll via Beyond

viscid kernel Feb 10, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

fluid dome so what about npcs and homebrew items

You’ll want to add those in DDB if they’re being given to players. Homebrew items in Avrae are purely for lookup purposes.

steady dew Feb 10, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

and for functionality in avrae :P

keen mauve Feb 10, 2022, 2:18 PM

#

Not even, lookup is the only thing that homebrew items do in Avrae.

viscid kernel Feb 10, 2022, 2:19 PM

#

Anything automatically functional about the item — like an attack or a stat boost — is ultimately going to come from your character sheet.

sullen fern Feb 10, 2022, 2:19 PM

#

hello

viscid kernel Feb 10, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

And anything that needs manual input into Avrae is going to be an attack or a spell or whatever.

sullen fern Feb 10, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

i am new!

viscid kernel Feb 10, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

Adding items in Avrae is only so you can pull up the item details with !item.

#

But welcome, gcldentablets! Did you have a question about Avrae?

keen mauve Feb 10, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

(!item also works well for any other custom lookup one may need to do.)

fluid dome Feb 11, 2022, 3:36 AM

#

so how do i ad homebrew items in ddb

empty linden Feb 11, 2022, 3:50 AM

#

Items? If it shows up as an attack on the DnDBeyond character sheet it should come through naturally through the character import. Otherwise you can create custom actions/attacks through the dashboard (see Avrae.io).

#

There's also some useful Aliases/Workshop Aliases that can help with creating and managing custom actions.

spark tusk Feb 11, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

I’m trying to connect my campaign link and this happens

fickle salmon Feb 11, 2022, 7:35 PM

#

Can you use !ddb in #ddb-avrae-commands please? The other issue is you may have to login into DDB from your PC and connect your account there.

buoyant stone Feb 13, 2022, 12:55 AM

#

I'm looking for an alias for crafting. Something like !craft <stat> <tool> Ideally, it should check what tool proficiencies or expertise, if any, the character has.

Does such an alias exist?
If not, how difficult would it be to create one?
Note: I did find one on the Avrae site, but it does not fit my needs. It is more for long term rolls, which isn't a bad thing, but not what I'm looking for. It also doesn't seem to use the different tool proficiencies.

fickle salmon Feb 13, 2022, 1:01 AM

#

That's a complicated question, since Avrae doesn't natively track tool proficiency (though there is request in that would allow this). There is !tool as an alias that you can look up on the Avrae Development Discord that will allow you to track tool proficiencies.

#

Or !roll 2d6ro<3 to reroll once all the numbers less than 3

!roll 2d6rr<3 to keep rerolling them

cursive raptor Feb 22, 2022, 11:37 PM

#

Staff of Valendras
An electrum quarterstaff of seraphine silver and godly gold, once wielded by one designated to guard a prison that held a god within.

(Rarity: ???) Requires attunemnt by a Fallen Aasimar or Tiefling monk.
Bane of the Infernal and Divine
You gain a +1 bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls made with this Magic Weapon. No creature can be considered either immune or resistant to damage dealt by this staff. Additional, when you hit a creature with this weapon that has the type Aberration, Celestial, Fiend, or Deity, the creature takes an additional 2d6 damage.

viscid kernel Feb 22, 2022, 11:42 PM

#

So you can add that when you use the attack. !a staff -neutral bludgeoning (or whatever your damage type is here).

#

But I don’t think there’s a way to bake that into the attack itself.

#

You could either use an alias to automatically add that extra argument.

#

Or just omit the damage type altogether in your attack.

keen mauve Feb 22, 2022, 11:44 PM

#

An easy way is to typo the damage type

viscid kernel Feb 22, 2022, 11:44 PM

#

The only issue is if you go up against someone vulnerable to bludgeoning.

#

Like a skeleton

keen mauve Feb 22, 2022, 11:46 PM

#

Right

#

In which case I believe there's automation to apply damage to individual creature names?

#

Not optimal, but you can certainly apply conditions for all of those where you double the damage

You need to connect your Discord account, making sure the last four digits are the same. In your case make sure it says DjCL4P-TP#8189.

flat drum Feb 23, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

SRD spell lookup is available to everyone, but other content from books like the PHB or DMG need to be available to you via Dndbeyond.com, and your Discord account linked to Beyond so Avrae can "see" what is available to you.

#

You can either own the book, the individual spell or have that content shared with you via a dndbeyond.com campaign.

Not as a basic command. There is the !threshold alias available that will let you set all sorts of boundaries available on the Avrae Workshop here: https://avrae.io/dashboard/workshop/5f73c8df192fdca3888bc2f6

Random Stat Generation - Threshold

This collection contains a single alias: !threshold. It can be used to roll random character stats with certain thresholds such as min 70 total, or at least 1 stat under 10.

empty linden Feb 26, 2022, 11:56 PM

#

Add '-d 2' to add +2 to damage and '-b 2' to add +2 to attack rolls. You can learn more info using the '!help attack' command. You can also use the Avrae.io dashboard to creat customized weapons and attacks.

#

So like it would be '!a dagger -d 2 -b 2' to attack with a dagger with a +2 to hit and damage.

[hopefully] basic question : Say I've added a monster to a combat, and chosen to give it rolled HP instead of averaged, like: !init madd "Storm Giant" -name "Desmond Jones" -rollhp

By default, Avrae is going to hide the HP and just tell me (when I type: !i list) that Desmond is healthy. But what if I want to check in on his actual HP. How would I see his current/max HP?

keen mauve Mar 2, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

Easiest way would likely be running !init hp "Desmond Jones". It'll post its healthy/injured/bloody/critical/dead in chat, and DM you it's actually HP with the max.

deft scaffold Mar 2, 2022, 10:28 PM

#

Much obliged.

deft scaffold Mar 2, 2022, 11:02 PM

#

Okay, so another one. I'm working on an alias to launch init with some prefab specific monsters. The problem I'm trying to solve is about downtime during the game as I add in multiple NPCs into a combat. I'd rather prefab the encounter, and launch it with an alias.

Rather than type out (example from above):

!init begin
!init madd "Storm Giant" -name "Desmond Jones" -rollhp
!init madd "Storm Giant" -name "Molly Jones" -rollhp
...
!init madd Ettin -n 4 -name "Ettin 0" -group "The Band" -rollhp -ac 14

I'd rather call in an alias I wrote and simply be able to type: !aliasName

Truly ideal would be if I could somehow call in an encounter I had built in ddb Encounter Builder, but I haven't found any integration with ddb for encounters yet.

#

I'm looking for a resource that will help me get the syntax for :

launching init in an alias
adding a monster into init

empty linden Mar 2, 2022, 11:03 PM

Currently there isn't any DDB encounter integration. Yet. I'd expect it to be coming at some point though.

empty linden Mar 2, 2022, 11:04 PM

Another way to prep this is to create a channel on your server for encounters and just paste the Avrae commands you'll use there, ready to copy and paste when needed.

deft scaffold Mar 2, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

@empty linden Thanks for that tip; I have some threads set up, per encounter, with this approach in mind. What's the syntax to end the multiline alias, by the way? I can copy my prefab scripts into a multiline alias pretty easily, using your suggestion

empty linden Mar 2, 2022, 11:07 PM

#

You just close the quote I think? #ddb-avrae-commands message

#

I tend not to use multiline so I'm not as knowledgeable with it

deft scaffold Mar 2, 2022, 11:07 PM

I think I just spotted it in the sticky-101

I had been unaware of it until @viscid kernel mentioned it

empty linden Mar 2, 2022, 11:09 PM

Yeah check out the documentation in !help - it's actually pretty decent even if it has an initial learning curve

Then you can learn about !embed and the fun you can have with that.

There is no “end” syntax. You just put each command on its own line, and it runs through them until there’s none left.

#

As long as each line contains a valid command, you’re good. 👍

deft scaffold Mar 2, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

Clearly this changes somewhat if I use the Alias editor in the avrae.io dashboard. Do you know where I should look (a resource) for the syntax for scripting the equivalent line to:

!init begin

inside the alias editor? I can't seem to find what I'm looking for in the Aliasing API documentation. There's no example of writing a <drac2> script that launches init, say, or adds a monster to init.

#

And yes, I'm aware that it's not a basic question, and yes, I do have some experience working in py, so I'm not wishing for the moon and stars. I think.

viscid kernel Mar 2, 2022, 11:31 PM

You can’t do the commands you’re looking for in Draconic.

viscid kernel Mar 5, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

!a list -v will show all your features. If it shows up there in italics, then it isn’t automated.

#

TBH, I don’t think there’s really anything to automate with that one.

wet junco Mar 5, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

how about just hide or disengage in general?

viscid kernel Mar 5, 2022, 3:45 PM

#

Neither of those actions really matter within Avrae.

#

It’s just something you declare at your table.

#

But you could create your own automation for them if you wanted.

#

As a very simple alias, you can do !alias escape racefeat "goblin: nimble escape"

#

And then use !escape whenever you want it displayed.

empty linden Mar 5, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

Disengage is a movement-related action and Avrae doesn’t manage movement. Hide is a perception skill check related action and requires certain conditions (line of sight) to work which Avrae doesn’t really manage either.

How do you set up custom attack setups like a bladesinger booming blade and then attack, cause spell doesn’t do it for you, and extra attack

hushed lotus Mar 6, 2022, 8:01 AM

#

Extra Attack, you just... attack multiple times.

#

and Booming Blade... does do it for you.

#

huh. apparently... it doesn't anymore? wait, that makes no sense, let me get back to you

#

so apparently, the order of operations is "roll to hit with your weapon, then cast Booming Blade after you determine if you hit." while using Avrae.

#

which... isn't how this is supposed to work, but so be it. same as the Smite spells for paladin

keen mauve Mar 6, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

I just suggest using a snippet

flat drum Mar 6, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

(that makes the bonus damage harder)

#

I would announce you're using booming blade

#

then attack with the weapon of your choice

#

then cast the spell

#

with Avrae, there isn't a way to attach your weapon attack to the spell when you cast the spell so you need to automate them separately

#

You could make a custom attack that does it all

#

But since all characters use different weapons, it doesn't make sense to make 50 different Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade spells to account for every possible weapon a player could be using

modern shard Mar 7, 2022, 7:54 AM

#

Ok how would you snippet, booming blade, with an attached attack, and another attack

flat drum Mar 7, 2022, 11:15 AM

#

!snippet bb {{"" if level<5 else ("-d 1" if level<11 else "-d 2" if level<17 else "-d 3")+"d8[thunder]"}} 
-title "<name> casts Booming Blade with {{"[aname]" if ctx.alias[0]=="a" else "[sname]"}}!"
-f "Booming Blade | On a hit, the target becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes {{("1" if level<5 else "2" if level<11 else "3" if level<17 else "4")+"d8 thunder"}} damage, and the spell ends."```

#

Using this snippet, you can !attack dagger bb -t GO1 and it will automatically add the damage on hit, and tell you what damage they take if they move.

#

You would have to manually apply the secondary damage

#

You could reformat it to apply an attack effect to your character, but snippets can't see targets of attacks and wouldn't be able to apply the effect to the target.

#

That's why the spell is nice to use, if a little different from playing at the table.

v3.4.0 (1588)
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v3.4.0

Coin Tracking
Now you can track your character's coins in Avrae! Get started by running !update to initialize your character's coinpurse from the values on their character sheet, then use the new !game coins command to track your wealth!

You can add and remove coins either by specifying the exact currencies to use, like !g coins +3gp -21sp, or by using a simple number like !g coins +2.39.

If you use a D&D Beyond character sheet and have your account linked, any updates to your coins in Avrae will be automatically reflected on your character sheet after a refresh!

※ A character's coinpurse will only be initialized to the values on their sheet the first time they are updated after this release, and only if their coinpurse is already empty. For all updates after the first, the coins stored in Avrae are considered the source of truth, similar to how other resources are handled.

If you're an alias author, you can easily interface with a character's coins by using the new AliasCoinpurse interface - read the docs at https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aliasing/api.html#aliascoinpurse!

New Features

Added !game coins to view your character's coinpurse
Added !game coins [cp|sp|ep|gp|pp] to view the number of a specific number of currency carried by your character
Added !game coins <amount> to add/remove coins from your character's coinpurse
Added !game coins convert to automatically convert all coins to the highest possible denominations
Added a character setting to choose whether to display each individual currency when viewing your coinpurse, or just the total
Added a Draconic API to interface with a character's coinpurse

#

DDB Sheet Sync
When you update your character's attributes in Avrae, these changes will be automatically sent back to your D&D Beyond character sheet!

※ These changes will only be visible after a refresh.

New Features

Added a character setting to choose whether or not to sync your Avrae sheet with the upstream character sheet
Added sync for HP, temp HP, spell slots, death saves, coins, and custom counters

Other Improvements

Added the -attackroll arg to force an attack roll to be a certain number, with display (thanks @Mahkasad.so [Pings|bplan|denc]!)
Added the -value arg to set a custom counter's value when created, and updated the Draconic API to allow setting the initial value of a newly created counter (thanks @Infinidoge.snek!)
Added support for Pattern Matching to the Draconic language
Improved the display of errors when importing a malformed GSheet
Lots of minor backend performance and development improvements

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where errors in Draconic that occurred inside an f-string pointed to the wrong line
Fixed an issue where multiple assignment in Draconic would evaluate the assignment target multiple times
Fixed an issue where combats would become unusable if a character in combat was deleted

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep Now Available
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/cotn

The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him.

Inspired by the campaigns of the hit series Critical Role, this adventure begins in the Wastes of Xhorhas and leads to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank’Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history.

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep contains seven chapters of thrilling adventure, new creatures and magic items, and a poster map of Ank’Harel.

Netherdeep creatures and items are now available in Avrae, including full automation for creature actions.

I am trying to make an attack with a magical dagger that adds poison damage for it. But no matter how I code it just doesnt want to work. Most times gives me an error. I believe I am doing the code correctly but it still doesnt work as I want to.
What am I doing wrong?


2: !a add "+1 Elegant Dagger" -b dexterityMod+proficiencyBonus +1 -d 1d4 + dexterityMod +1[magical] [piercing] -d 2d8[poison]

3: !a add "+1 Elegant Dagger" -b max(strengthMod, dexterityMod) + proficiencyBonus +1 -d 1d4 + dexterityMod +1[magical] [piercing] +2d8[poison]

4: !a add "+1 Elegant Dagger" -b max(strengthMod, dexterityMod) + proficiencyBonus +1 -d 1d4 + dexterityMod +1[magical] [piercing] -d 2d8[poison]```

I added it in different ways, spacing or no spacing and it still doesnt work. A little help please?

viscid kernel Mar 21, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

Anything with a space in the middle needs quotes around it.

#

The dexterityMod in -d needs braces around it, too.

#

!a add "+1 Elegant Dagger" -b "dexterityMod + proficiencyBonus + 1" -d "1d4 + {dexterityMod} + 1 [magical piercing] + 2d8 [poison]"

You'll probably need to manually remove the effect in your case.

Hello Friends! I've got a player that joined my campaign, her rolls show up in the DDB side of the campaign, and Avrae lists all her char, etc, active char set, but the dice rolls aren't showing up in the discord channel with everyone else

#

Thoughts?

empty linden Mar 26, 2022, 7:52 PM

#

Does she have the character set to only do GM-only rolls? That would be one possible reason it doesn't show in channel.

viscid kernel Mar 26, 2022, 7:53 PM

#

Or if they’re set to Self.

#

They need to be set to Everyone to get sent to the channel.

#

She can check or change the default there at the top of the Game Log.

#

Or it can be changed per roll by right clicking or long pressing on the roll box.

#

If it is set to Everyone, I’d suggest she run through !tutorial beyond to make sure everything is set up correctly.

outer notch Mar 26, 2022, 7:56 PM

#

Her char's Glass.

#

so ... her perception check is there in the log. (I'm a player, not the dm)

#

would she need to !char Glass from our IC + dice roll channel?

viscid kernel Mar 26, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

!tutorial beyond will walk her through everything.

#

But ultimately, she’ll need the character imported into Avrae, and her DDB and Discord accounts linked.

tacit sapphire Mar 29, 2022, 12:43 PM

#

Hi! When using dnd beyond with Avrae, is there a way to choose in which channel a roll made by clicking on a ddb character sheet is made (either permanently or on a per-roll basis)?

#

Also, is there a way for the DM to make rolls in discord/Avrae for the players' characters?

viscid kernel Mar 29, 2022, 12:45 PM

#

The DM needs to choose which channel to send those rolls to, by using !campaign <url> in that channel.

keen mauve Mar 29, 2022, 12:45 PM

#

Which can't be done on a per-roll basis
2. Not without them being in initiative for making rolls for their characters.

viscid kernel Mar 29, 2022, 12:45 PM

#

!tutorial beyond will walk you through the full setup instructions.

#

But yeah, if you’re using Avrae’s initiative tracker, the DM can use the same commands for a player that they can for a monster.

#

They can run through !tutorial initiative (dm) for more info there.

does Avrae currently integrate with the DDB encounter builder? I have an encounter tied to a campaign and that campaign is tied to a chat channel in discord. Characters can click abilities in their sheets and Avrae posts that to the discord channel just fine. However, whenever I have a monster attack in the DDB encounter interface Avrae just whispers me directly instead of posting publicly to the discord chat. Am I missing something in the setup/documentation or is this not currently possible?

viscid kernel Mar 30, 2022, 2:38 PM

#

~~You haven't missed anything. That's just not a feature that exists yet.~~

#

Oh wait! You can definitely have monster rolls sent to the channel. You just need to make sure the Game Log is set to "Everyone" instead of "Self".

#

Open the Game Log there in the encounter and you can change the "Send To (Default)" there at the top.

#

Or you can change it per roll with a right click/long press.

fickle salmon Mar 30, 2022, 2:42 PM

I can also say there is a desire for greater integration between the Encounter Builder and Avrae, but the timeline for that isn't even at "Sooooon ™️ "

viscid kernel Mar 30, 2022, 2:43 PM

Even if Beyond just printed a multiline

viscid kernel Mar 30, 2022, 3:13 PM

The biggest sticking point I see is homebrew monsters.

#

It could potentially look those up in your CritterDB bestiary, but it just feels weird for that interaction to need a third-party solution.

#

Especially for users who don't even know how to add those monsters in Avrae.

flat drum Mar 30, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

True

viscid kernel Mar 30, 2022, 3:24 PM

#

If it could potentially add them with just the right stats, at least...

#

Ability scores, saves, proficiencies, HP, AC, etc...

#

Give a reasonable default, but use the CritterDB match if it finds one...

#

I think that could work.

#

The DM would still have to manually handle attacks and such, whether manually in-game or beforehand in CritterDB.

real root Mar 30, 2022, 3:29 PM

viscid kernel Apr 1, 2022, 5:38 PM

#

You’d still want an effect on yourself with a duration of 2 and ticks on end.

#

Then you’ll add a second effect to the target with your original effect as the parent.

#

That way when the parent effect ends (at the end of your next turn), the child effect will end, too.

From Simple Magic Items by TheReverendB#1377.
View on Workshop

Help

An alias for the Neclace of Prayer Beads.
Updated to reset the beads on your necklace following the description of the item.

`!nPrayerBeads roll new`
Rolls randomly for the beads on your necklace.

!nPrayerBeads cast <spell> [casting arguments]
This will cast the coresponding spell and consume a bead.

Bead of...   | Spell
-------------|--------------------
Blessing     | Bless
Curing       | Cure Wounds
             |  (2nd level) or
             |  Lesser Restoration
Favor        | Greater Restoration
Smiting      | Branding Smite
Summons      | Planar Ally
Wind Walking | Wind Walk

Specify the spell like:
`!nPrayerBeads cast "cure wounds"` or
`!nPrayerBeads cast wind`
Partial matching will work. Use the typical casting arguments for this.

!nPrayerBeads set [type] [type]...
Enter up to six types, separated by spaces, to set the types of beads on the neclace.
Use the following options to set the beads:
Blessing, Curing, Favor, Smiting, Summons, 'Wind Walking'

** **

`!nPrayerBeads reset` will reset the use of all beads on your necklace.

The alias is currently set up with a counter to automatically reset the beads on the necklace after a long rest. If you would like to only use the manual reset option, you can copy/paste the following: `!cc create "Necklace of Prayer Beads" -min 0 -max 1 -type bubble` and tell Avrae to overwrite the existing counter with the same name.

Hello! I’m having issue getting my dice rolls from the D&D Beyond app to reflect on Discord. They do work perfectly when rolling from the character sheet on PC.

empty linden Apr 3, 2022, 2:25 PM

#

Hi there! Have you ran through the !tutorial commands from Avrae on your Discord server?

#

At the end of the day you'll need a Discord server, Avrae connected to that server with the right permissions, a DnDBeyond campaign with associated characters, have the characters connected in Avrae, then run the !campaign command in the channel where you want the shared Avrae/DnDBeyond dice rolls to appear.

#

Also make use of the !help command in Avrae to see all the commands, subcommands, and how to use them.

tall linden Apr 3, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

Oh, yeah, I’ve got all that. Created a server and a dedicated campaign channel for the rolls. Made sure the characters were public so the link would work, linked the campaign with !campaign and linked each character with !beyond. The dice rolling works from the character sheets when trying online but none of their character rolls go into discord from the beyond app. It seems to still connect to avrae as a private message in discord when rolling, but the rolls themselves are not appearing in the discord channel the !beyond linked to.

viscid kernel Apr 3, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

!tutorial beyond, specifically, can help you double-check that everything’s set up correctly.

#

Ah! If they’re coming through as private messages, that’s because the app has them set to be private.

tall linden Apr 3, 2022, 2:41 PM

#

Ooh, is that a discord level permission I can change, something with the avrae bot character?

viscid kernel Apr 3, 2022, 2:41 PM

That’s all in the DDB app.

#

You’ll need to open the Game Log there on your character sheet, click at the top where it says “Send To: Self” and change it to Everyone.

viscid kernel Apr 4, 2022, 12:39 AM

#

If you want to remove it entirely, you can click on the attack in DDB, open the Customize section in the sidebar, and put a single space in the Notes field. Then come back and !update.

#

Alternatively, you can use that same notes field to put your own short description.

If you always use the DEX version, you can also rename it there to just “Psychic Blades”. Then open the STR one and uncheck “Display as Attack” to hide it away.

#

@viscid kernel how do i deal with spaces in the command? !a psychic blades makes me choose from list.

viscid kernel Apr 4, 2022, 1:04 AM

Add quotes. !a "psychic blades"

#

Without them, it’s essentially looking for !a "psychic". The "blades" gets lost.

Gotcha. Does this work for spells too? I'm a hexblood with Hex Magic: Disguise self and I renamed it to "mimic" in customize but !a mimic doesnt seem to do anything except bring up a list again

sudden breach Apr 4, 2022, 1:09 AM

#

so only for weapons?

#

or abilities?

flat drum Apr 4, 2022, 1:09 AM

#

In that manner, yes

#

Since spells are not imported from your sheet like that

#

You could do this in other ways using Avrae

#

Namely using aliases

#

!alias mimic a "Hex Magic: Disguise Self" -title "{{name}} uses mimicry!"```

#

Something like that would allow you to do !mimic

#

And it would use your Hex Magic action, with a new title

sudden breach Apr 4, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

Ah interesting. I’ll have to play around with it. So alias is a local shortcut for what you’re trying to do? It will still display Disguise Self in discord? Okay that works

flat drum Apr 4, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

sudden breach Apr 4, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

Wonderful. I’ll toy with it

flat drum Apr 4, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

You could also homebrew a spell in a Tome if you wanted to rename it, but then you would have to manually add it to your sheet as I believe renamed spells on Beyond still import to Avrae with the original spell name.

viscid kernel Apr 4, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

You could also do it as a custom attack on the Avrae dashboad.

#

In theory, at least. You’d need the spell ID, and I’m still not sure how to get that. 😅

Me either

sudden breach Apr 4, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

#

Copy and pasted the alias but still giving probs

flat drum Apr 4, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

You need to type !mimic

#

Since that's what the alias is named

#

!a mimic is trying to use an action named mimic, which you don't have.

steady dew Apr 4, 2022, 4:35 AM

you can only interact with:
whatever Avrae has tied to you, such as your imported character sheets
Initiative

#

so if your friends discord has Avrae tying "Dougal the Devastator" to his discord, you can't interact with that Dougal unless it's in an initiative.

#

and even then, only somewhat, such as HP, ieffects, and so on.

as per !help cc You cannot add a title. You would have to use Draconic code to recover the counter and use embed as your command if you wanted to do something with an altered title.

#alias-help in the Avrae Discord server is the best place to ask for help with this but for something this simple:py !alias psiplus embed -title "Psi Knack Restored" {{ch,cc=character(),"Psionic Power: Psionic Energy"}} {{ch.mod_cc(cc, 1)}} -f "{{cc}}|{{ch.cc_str(cc)}} (+1)" -thumb <image> -desc "As a bonus action, you can regain one expended Psionic Energy die, but you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest."

This should really have an action already that uses the counter for the once/sr portion of this ability.

You can, but it's a little involved. There is a pinned PowerPoint in the Avrae Development Server that illustrates how.

Question for those of you who have a bit more experience with Avrae than I do. I'm getting started in my first campaign with Avrae, and I was wondering if there was a way to preset encounters so that I don't have to have my players wait as I go through all the commands to add combatants individually. Either a way to import from DDB encounter builder or a method to do it directly in a discord channel would work for me.

I'm basically making a creature that's roughly the mirror of one of my players. So I rolled a full sheet up for them, and now it's figuring out how to translate it all. I can do a bunch of the rolling manually.

But I'm curious if people have thoughts on a character that is, say lvl 10 & made in DDB then ported over to CritterDB, what CR would that likely be?

wicked mist I'm basically making a creature that's roughly the mirror of one of my players. ...

If you build a PC and it’s a 1v1 with a PC, the CR is that level. The math ruling would suggest that creating a party of 4-5 at level 10 facing a party of 5 at level 10 would be a CR of 10. It evens out. That being said, the first few times this occurs, remember that you have synergy they don’t so your party may be more coordinated. But if it the party VS 1, it’s similar to dividing it. 1 level 10 mage can be great when he has position and gets the jump, but only plan the first 2 spells. Once the caster is engaged, counterspelled, prone, silenced, etc, it’s GG since he has no hp. So that lvl 10 mage against a party of 5 level 10s would only be about CR 3-4. But if he starts holding an action, invisible, by a trap with a held action, that adds to the CR because you are trying to weight it in a way that makes it so you don’t have a character introduced and die immediately.

v3.5.0 (1592)
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v3.5.0

New Features: Server-Settings for Roll Stats and Crit Damage

With v3.5.0, we've added support for settings to customize how your server rolls stats and how crit damage is handled.

Roll Stats

New Command: !rollstats
This command will roll stats in accordance with your servers stat rolling settings, which you can find under the "Custom Stat Roll Settings" menu in !servsettings. These can range from changing the dice that are rolled, having minimum/maximum totals, assigning stats directly, and more.

Crit Damage Settings

These settings, found in the "Miscellaneous Settings" of !servsettings, change how your server will handle critical damage.

"Double Dice Amount", or RAW, doubles the amount of dice rolled (2d8 + 4 -> 4d8 + 4).
"Add Max Dice Value", or Crunchy Crits, will add the maximum value of each die to the total (2d8 + 4 -> 2d8 + 4 + 16).
"Double Total", will double everything (2d8 + 4 -> (2d8 + 4) * 2).
"Double Dice Total", or Mercer Crits, will double the total value of the dice rolled (2d8 + 4 -> (2d8) * 2 + 4)

Improvements

Lookup commands now display the source of an entity in the select menu
Added the savage argument to !a, !cast, !ma, !mcast, !i a, !i cast, and other automation-related commands to roll two sets of the base damage dice and keep the higher
Added randchoices() to the Draconic API (thanks @Julius Caesar | Please ping me 😁!)

Bug Fixes

Fixes an issue where the lookup command would not be deleted when looking up a monster with the -h argument (thanks @Mahkasad.so [Pings|bplan|denc]!)
Fixes an issue where avatar URLs may be improperly displayed on avrae.io
Fixes an issue where you might be unable to add a combatant with a name that partially matches the name of another combatant

Everyone using Avrae has their DnDBeyond account in sync - use the !ddb command to see if you're all set up correctly. You can also log on to DnDBeyond and check your user profile and make sure your Discord username listed there actually matches your real Discord user name.
Everyone's characters are connected to the DNDBeyond campaign.

what you need to do is use !help campaign and it'll display help

it'll basically take the public rolls in that DNDBeyond campaign, Avrae reads that, and 'quotes' them in the discord channel you did !campaign url-link-stuff-here in.

but yes, with everything synced like DyingNoob explained, it should work like butter. You roll an attack, it waits for damage, etc.

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2022, 12:00 AM

#

Did you save and close the tome on the website?

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:01 AM

#

yes

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2022, 12:04 AM

#

So, can you try !tome Succubus in #ddb-avrae-commands ?

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

oh wait

#

I think the website is using my other discord

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

Ah, that would be a difficulty.

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

ok now how do I copy that spell to the other account? xd

flat drum Apr 21, 2022, 12:08 AM

#

You can either export and import the spell or subscribe to your own tome on your other account

#

Export button looks like an arrow pointing up to a horizontal line

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:08 AM

#

oh ty

flat drum Apr 21, 2022, 12:08 AM

#

!help tome import otherwise

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:09 AM

#

thanks

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2022, 12:10 AM

#

Yep, there's a way to create a JSON file from the website to hand over the automation for spells and attacks. I was just looking up the best way to explain how to do it.

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:10 AM

#

now how do I get a character to learn/use the new custom spell?

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2022, 12:11 AM

#

!spellbook add "Draining Kiss" with the active character you want to know the spell.

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:14 AM

#

and I just do the !tome Succubus to update the spell right?

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2022, 12:16 AM

#

That should work. I think, though, changes made on the website will percolate through without forcing the update. If it doesn't then calling that command should clear the cache.

flat drum Apr 21, 2022, 12:17 AM

#

If you are subscribed to the tome, !tome NAME will make that tome active for your character.

#

You can only have one personal Tome active at once, but you can add it to your server for everyone to use as well.
You can have multiple server tomes active at once.

fickle salmon Apr 21, 2022, 12:19 AM

#

Admittedly, I haven't updated my tome much since the team-up with D&D Beyond and Avrae. Having access to non-SRD content through the licensing system has made a lot of the reasons I had made a tome obsolete.

young arch Apr 21, 2022, 12:32 AM

#

thanks for the help guys!

Hi! Can Avrae calculate xp?

empty linden Apr 21, 2022, 2:26 PM

#

No but there is an alias that you can find on the Avrae Developer server/workshop to manage/assign XP.

#

Alias's are like user-macros that can be scoped to server or user account.

sterile iris Apr 21, 2022, 2:29 PM

So, would I find it through the Avrae Support server?

any ideas how i can cast Merge with Stone (earth genasi racial)?

viscid kernel Apr 23, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

!a "merge with stone" (or probably just !a merge)

#

Alternatively, add -i when you cast the spell directly to ignore the spellcasting requirements.

#

!cast "pass without trace" -i

low ridge Apr 23, 2022, 5:18 PM

keen mauve Apr 24, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

In addition, beyond will sync with Avrae for certain things, including coins

#

So it doesn't require !update for a beyond change to reflect in Avrae, and vice versa

empty linden Apr 24, 2022, 1:13 AM

I knew Avrae showing coins was a new thing - I didn't realize it had a built-in way to add/subtract though.

This is interesting. Does everyone have to be linked to the same campaign for this to display? I'm part of a living world server where we have like 8 shared campaigns between multiple DMs.

viscid kernel Apr 24, 2022, 1:34 PM

No, they’d just need to link each campaign individually.

Does Avrae not support Exhaustion levels? I’m not seeing a port from DDB at all, on my players.

flat drum Apr 24, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

Avrae does not import exhaustion levels or automate it.

You can apply disadvantage as needed to your checks.

#

Currently, only currency, spell slots and class/racefeat counters are synced.

plain pecan Apr 25, 2022, 1:26 PM

Any clue how to get the !bag alias to respond/work?

I have another alias that is wanting to call on it, but it doesn’t seem to be in my server or on the dashboard anywhere.

flat drum Apr 25, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

It's on the Avrae Development Server

#

You shouldn't need it for other aliases

#

The alias you're trying to use must require coins to be tracked via !bag/!coins

#

I suggest getting the author to update their alias to use !game coins to synchronize with your sheet.

Hi guys, one question: how can I change the available colors to personalize my sheet in the GSheet v2.1 and v1.4 character sheets? I want to be able to choose from the same colors used on D&D Beyond.

viscid kernel Apr 26, 2022, 4:59 AM

#

You can type !csettings, then select Cosmetic Settings > Change Color to select a color for your character in Avrae.

#

If you’re instead asking how to change the color of elements in a Google sheet, that’s not really a question for this channel.

tranquil tusk Apr 26, 2022, 5:34 AM

#

viscid kernel If you’re instead asking how to change the color of elements in a Google sheet, ...

Well, since the sheet is the official one for Avrae (or that's what it seems to be), I thought I could ask about its mechanics here. The authors are I. F. Evans (v2.1) and David Lester (v1.4), ~~I don't know where to contact them~~ I see I can try contact the former on the Avrae Development Server, I'll try there.
Thank you anyway for the help.

flat drum Apr 26, 2022, 10:06 AM

#

The sheet uses links for the images. I don't think you can change the color without changing the images themselves.

tranquil tusk Apr 26, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

flat drum The sheet uses links for the images. I don't think you can change the color wit...

The color isn't tied to the images, since those remain black. The color affects only the text.

flat drum Apr 26, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

I thought you wanted to change the look of the sheet. I'm not well enough versed in Google sheets to be able to alter the color of the text in those formulas.

I recommend using 1.4 (manual) gsheet if you want to customize the colors of the text.

viscid kernel Apr 26, 2022, 1:20 PM

#

It looks like they're using conditional formatting to change the color based on what's selected in the "Color Scheme" cell.

#

You'd have to also overwrite the validation for that cell, unless you change one of the existing colors to something mismatched.

#

But again, conditional formatting and cell validation aren't really Avrae questions.

Hey all, quick question. I am new to using Avrae but so far everything was running great with it but for some reason the encounter I am DMing the messages are going to my DM's instead of the discord channel. All of the character rolls are showing up in channel but the monsters are all going to my DM's

viscid kernel Apr 26, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

You need to change the roll visibility in DDB. Right now they’re being sent to “Self”.

#

You can open the Game Log and change the default at the top (to “Everyone”).

#

Or you can change it per roll by right-clicking or long-pressing on the roll box.

fickle salmon Apr 26, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

It would be better if you have them !import the character from Beyond and them joining initiative rather than you trying to change to the proper character, add the character to initiative and transferring control to the player.

#

Especially if you have 4-5 players you're looking to put into initiative,

You can !import multiple characters, but only one is marked as the active character under !char.

If you create a campaign, you can add your character's to the campaign and allow other users to choose those characters.

minor talon Apr 26, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

then i would not have to import again?

fickle salmon Apr 26, 2022, 9:42 PM

You place it into a campaign, and the player claims it from that campaign. I'm not 100% sure on all the steps, but if you need help with that, #ddb-support would be the fastest place to get a response.

flat drum Apr 26, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

Unless you have a campaign linked to a discord channel or are sharing content via a campaign, Avrae doesn't really care about your campaign.

#

She just stores your imported sheet and uses that.

minor talon Apr 26, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

how do i link the campain to the discord?

#

i am sharing characters through the campain

flat drum Apr 26, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

If you are using copywrighted content you purchased on Beyond, then you need to link your Discord account to Beyond for Avrae to 'unlock' whatever you purchased.

#

Sharing characters through a Beyond campaign doesn't really matter to Avrae.

#

The !campaign url.to.your.campaign command will allow you to link your campaign to a Discord channel, allowing rolls made on your sheet appear on discord and discord rolls appear in the Beyond game log.

#

!tutorial beyond will walk you through it I believe.

viscid kernel Apr 26, 2022, 10:05 PM

Yep. Just have everyone go through that and you’ll be up and running.

viscid kernel Apr 29, 2022, 12:20 AM

#

Avrae doesn’t track passive scores natively.

You can add -i to avoid using that spell slot.

hidden shore Apr 30, 2022, 3:47 PM

There's no way to use the wand charge instead?

keen mauve Apr 30, 2022, 3:47 PM

You can make a custom counter for the wand, and then make an action which casts the spell, and subtracts from the counter.

viscid kernel Apr 30, 2022, 3:47 PM

#

You’d have to manually set it up — both the counter and the action to use it.

#

Although… I’m not entirely sure how spellcasting works for actions. You need a Spell ID, but the instructions on how to get that ID are unclear.

keen mauve Apr 30, 2022, 3:49 PM

#

You select the spell on the dashboard with the spell name, but the YAML includes the ID instead of the name

steady dew May 2, 2022, 4:54 AM

#

it's code

hushed lotus May 2, 2022, 4:54 AM

#

some of the subcommands are modifiers and thus need the - while others are snippets (self-contained references to other code)

steady dew May 2, 2022, 4:56 AM

#

like adv, dis, they're snippety

#

whereas bonuses are args that need to be designated

hushed lotus May 2, 2022, 4:57 AM

#

(args in this case meaning "arguments," which can be summed up as "modifiers")

#

such as -b meaning -bonus dice

rotund dome May 2, 2022, 4:59 AM

#

i don't suppose i could just turn b into a snippet with a dice subcommand? seems silly but i'm willing to do that kinda background setup to make it easier for the players

hushed lotus May 2, 2022, 5:01 AM

#

sure. I don't know the means to make it happen, but you can make your own snippet for it, yeah.

#

I only know how to read code, not write it.

rotund dome May 2, 2022, 5:03 AM

#

Alright cool. I'll see if I can figure that out some time

rotund dome May 2, 2022, 5:04 AM

#

hushed lotus I only know how to read code, not write it.

And yeah I get that. I learn commands well, but don't know what goes on behind the scenes

steady dew May 2, 2022, 5:40 AM

#

you can make a snippet for -b 1d6, yeah

rotund dome May 2, 2022, 6:08 AM

#

I meant literally turning "-b [XdY+Z] " into a snippet of "b" with subcommands XdY+Z. Like, literally just removing the - if possible

steady dew May 2, 2022, 7:42 AM

#

you can
!snippet b -b [XdY+Z]
should make Avrae read your b as -b [XdY+Z]

flat drum May 2, 2022, 10:10 AM

#

arguments that require an input afterwards have a dash in front of them

#

arguments that don't, don't.

#

-b is for bonus

#

-d is for additional damage

#

The built-in commands are fairly well formatted. Adding / creating snippets to make it "easier" for new players typically just creates confusion in the long run.

I strongly recommend new players learn the base commands before delving into snippets and aliases. All base commands are listed in !help and can be looked up for their proper use with !help check or !help save or !help game deathsave etc.

There (typically) isn't anything for user made snippets. Some aliases have instructions built-in but authors are not as consistent as the Avrae dev team and it can easily make things more confusing for new players, along with alias errors if not coded well.

flat drum arguments that require an input afterwards have a dash in front of them

ahhh that's the defining

flat drum May 2, 2022, 10:21 AM

#

Yup. That's why adv, dis and magical do not require a -

#

it's how Avrae knows where to 'look' for the value and why you get errors when someone tries to add a bonus with b 1d4 because Avrae then only sees that b exists and she tries to roll True instead of 1d4

#

or you try to rename a combatant with !init opt GO1 name Bob and GO1 is renamed True

viscid kernel May 2, 2022, 12:16 PM

#

steady dew you can `!snippet b -b [XdY+Z]` should make Avrae read your `b` as `-b [XdY+Z]`

Snippet names need to be at least two characters.

steady dew May 2, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

fair enough

dusk root May 2, 2022, 2:27 PM

Question for anyone who might know the answer.... Is there a way that I as DM can add players in a channel to a battle so we can get initiative rolled for them and/or add the entire party as a whole? Had an issue the other night where a player got called away from the computer unexpectedly, which led to everything getting held up while we waited for them to come back and join the fight.

viscid kernel May 2, 2022, 2:28 PM

#

Players can only add themselves.

#

You could use !i add to create a stand-in for them.

#

Or just avoid ending init altogether and !i reroll -restart as needed.

dusk root May 2, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

Yeah, OK. That's what I thought. Was just hoping I was mistaken.

What is the syntax for rolling initative?

steady dew May 5, 2022, 7:31 AM

#

it's a check

#

you can do !c init I believe

#

that, or you want to use !i join to join an actual initiative in Avrae

#

and for adding monsters, !i madd "monster name"

Is there a reason why "limited magic immunity" isn't applying it self to a creature in avrae?
I tried testing it with cantrips but the dmg still goes through

flat drum May 7, 2022, 11:07 AM

#

because there aren't any attacks that do [limited magic] damage

steady dew May 7, 2022, 11:09 AM

#

I don't think they mean damage type of limited magic X

#

I think they mean the trait to be immune to spells of Xth level or lower

#

in any case, it's time for manual adjustment.

flat drum May 7, 2022, 11:11 AM

#

Avrae works with all the standard damage types in 5e, silvered, adamantine, magical. Resistance, Immunity and Vulnerability. She currently doesn't automatically handle things like limited magic immunity, Elves' immunity to being charmed, or Gnome's advantage on saves for spell attacks..

#

Avrae applies damage by type, not source currently.

steady dew May 7, 2022, 11:24 AM

#

There it is, yeah. My only gripe is that I can't write it out like official blocks, have to be very specific

flat drum May 7, 2022, 11:29 AM

Question: How do you use spells attached to a item like a magical staff or the likes in avrae

flat drum May 9, 2022, 4:27 PM

#

You can

Manually track staff charges with a counter and cast the spells with -i to ignore slot uses,
Make a custom action that uses a counter and casts the spell,
Use an alias that automates option 1.

How would one do it using the mobile app.

Getting Started With Avrae

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

1. Roll Stats

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

2. Make Your Character

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

3. Import Your Character

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

4. Ready to Roll

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

Examples

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

Detailed Usage

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

Avrae v4
https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v4.0.0

Version 4 of Avrae adds even more features to make running your game faster! The initiative effect rewrite brings with it a new system to allow effects to add buttons to an actor in initiative, allowing you to run automation with just one click, while check automation nodes allow for ability checks in automation, and draconic functions allow aliases to reuse code in user-defined functions!

With the digital release of Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse, Avrae v4 also adds options to control the lookup of entities with different versions published in multiple books.

Read on for more details!

New Feature: Initiative Effect Rewrite

How do I stand up from being prone? How do I take fire damage if I'm on fire? What if my sword has a lingering poison?

Now, you can do all of these and more with ButtonInteractions! Initiative effects can include an array of these, which appear as buttons on the targeted combatant's turn, allowing you to remove effects, take damage, make saving throws, and more, all with a single click!

What about using a temporary action like the breath weapon granted by Dragon's Breath?

We improved the model of attacks granted by initiative effects, and now they can harness the full power of the Automation Engine, too!

The initiative effect rewrite adds a new Automation node to use the full power of the rewrite - see https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automation_ref.html#ieffect for documentation. We're working on updating all official content to use the full power of these engine updates, so expect to see improvements roll out over the next few weeks!

#

New Features

Added the ieffect2 Automation node
Added the remove_ieffect Automation node (ButtonInteraction automation only)
Added buttons to run automation granted by initiative effects to the messages shown when running !init next, !init status, !init prev, or !init goto
- Clicking a button runs an Automation script, allowing implementation of damage-over-time effects and indefinite effects (e.g. Prone) without users having to memorize commands to remove effects
Added parent and children target modes to the Target Automation node to target any combatants with a parent/child effects (ButtonInteraction automation only)
Added the ieffect metavar to Automation runtime builtins when executing automation granted by an initiative effect
Added the adv key to Check and Save Automation nodes

※ The new Automation nodes will be added to the Automation builder on avrae.io in v4.1.

Bug Fixes

Fixes an issue where advancing to a combatant's turn using !init next, using !init prev, then advancing to the same turn again would cause an initiative effect to lose an extra round of duration

Draconic Breaking Changes

SimpleEffect.duration and SimpleEffect.remaining now return None instead of -1 for indefinite effects.
The model of the dict at SimpleEffect.effect has changed significantly. Please review the new documentation at https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/zhu-ieffect-rewrite/aliasing/api.html#aliasing.api.combat.SimpleEffect.effect.

#

New Feature: Check Automation Node

How about escaping from a grapple?

With the Ability Check automation node, you can automate this too, and combined with the power of the Initiative Effect Rewrite, contested ability checks have never been easier! We're updating official monsters to use this node, but you can use it yourself, too -see https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automation_ref.html#ability-check for documentation.

Example - contested check

type: check
ability: [acrobatics, athletics]
contestAbility: athletics
success:
- type: text
  text: The target won the ability contest!
fail:
- type: text
  text: The caster won the ability contest!

Example - check against DC

type: check
ability: arcana
dc: 13
success:
- type: text
  text: The target succeeded the check!
fail:
- type: text
  text: The target failed the check!

※ This node will be added to the Automation builder on avrae.io in v4.1.

Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse
The introduction of Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse to the Dungeons & Dragons game has revised older content. Going forward, any content that does not reflect the latest rules and lore will be categorized as Legacy Content, and clearly indicated by a Legacy badge. For more information, see https://www.dndbeyond.com/legacy.

To allow server owners to choose which version of the content is preferred when looking content up in Avrae, the "Prefer Legacy Content" server setting has been added to !servsetttings:

If the only two options found in a content search are a legacy and non-legacy version of the same thing, whether to prefer the latest version, the legacy version, or always ask the user to select between the two.

By default, this will prefer the latest version of published content.

New Feature: Draconic Functions
Functions are a fundamental construct that allow programmers to reuse code across a program, and now they're available in Draconic! Additionally, if your alias encounters an error, we've improved the error message sent to you to include a full traceback through the entire call stack of your code, allowing you to track down those errors that much easier.

Added support for functions and lambdas to Draconic
Improved the error message shown when an alias encounters an error

Breaking Changes

Renamed the ea argument to eadv to prevent conflicts with other arguments when using Elven Accuracy
Added a warning PMed to the user if they run an alias that uses deprecated methods
- In v4.1, we plan on removing many alias methods that have been deprecated for upwards of 2 years. If you encounter these warnings, please contact the alias author to update the alias.

#

Improvements

Improved the Automation documentation
Improved the default naming of monsters when added to initiative using !init madd
Added -cadv and -cdis to !init effect to allow specifying advantage/disadvantage on certain checks
!sb no longer displays official spells you do not have access to as "homebrew"
