ok so
I wanted to add my own custom attack

!attack add "Shadow Clap" -d 2d8+5 -b strengthMod+proficiencyBonus
limpid tartan
!attack add "Shadow Clap" -d 2d8+5 -b strengthMod+proficiencyBonus
this is the command I have
But
I dont want to do +5
I want to do +strengthMod
but when I do that
it gives this error when I attack
minus the _WS I was just adding stuff to see if it would work
does anyone know how to add strengthMod to the attack damage

what was the Avrae homebrew items site called again? You make items there and import it with the !pack command
viscid kernel
Thatâs on the official Avrae site.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/homebrew/items
wet junco
Thank cha
wet junco
question, on the Avrae homebrew items tool, is there a specific way to add text that will automatically make the item force a saving throw or do you just put it in flavor text?
fickle salmon
You'd have to build an seperate action for the item.
Put the information in the flavor text, but you might have to create a seperate action.
wet junco
alright
viscid kernel
Yep. Those items are purely for lookup. Theyâre otherwise non-functional.
wet junco
đ
viscid kernel
But if you click Characters in the sidebar there, then hover of your character and click the wrench that appears, you can build your saving throw there.
wet junco
ok
question, can someone here more experienced with coding work this out for me with Avrae? so i want to be able to import this to a character attack and have the damage be automated as well as automatically have the target do a CON save
{"name":"Storm Bolter","meta":"Ranged Weapon, Martial, Rare 18 lbs. --- 2d10 piercing + 1d12 thunder - ammunition (100/400ft.), heavy, loading, two-handed","desc":"This weapon is infused with special runes that create magical shockwaves. Whenever a bolt from this weapon hits its target, each creature within 30ft of the target that the wielder chooses must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 1d12 thunder damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one"}
it says automation: field required and _v field required
when i try to import it on it's own
fickle salmon
Yeah, give me a few moments...
keen mauve
My best guess is the fact that the Avrae dashboard exports everything in YAML, and that export includes everything you need. If you import something you hadn't made with the tools there, there's a fairly good chance some part is wrong. Yours is in JSON, not YAML.
(JSON should still work it's just a different format)
wet junco
oh
viscid kernel
Yeah, building it there on the Dashboard is 100% the easier way to do it.
For this, youâd want to select Attack and Damage (Pre-set) to start. Adjust the damage as needed.
Then right after the damage, add the Save. Nevermind. Didnât read close enough.
keen mauve
Also is it a magic weapon? Seems so but good to confirm for proper damage type purposes.
wet junco
yep
viscid kernel
But again, the items created there arenât usable attacks, which is why youâre getting that error.
flat drum
question, can someone here more experienced with coding work this out for me wit...
This appears to be output from a Pack, and not formatted for automation.
Yes JSON or YAML can be imported if properly formatted.
Like Spam said, use the dashboard to make the attack.
fickle salmon
OK, got a semi-working prototype.
wet junco

fickle salmon
The automation looks like this:

damage: 2d10 [piercing] +1d12 [thunder]

attackBonus: "{dexterityMod+proficiencyBonus}"
- type: text
text: This weapon is infused with special runes that create magical shockwaves.
Whenever a bolt from this weapon hits its target, each creature within
30ft of the target that the wielder chooses must make a DC 13 Constitution
saving throw, taking 1d12 thunder damage on a failed save or half as much
on a successful one.
- type: roll

So this will fire the bolt at the first -t you choose, and force a saving throw on that target and every subsequent -t you put.
wet junco
thank you
keen mauve
Since it's magical, you'll want to make the piercing into magical piercing
And if the 1d12 thunder that's in the damage section isn't actually done off the attack, and it was only for the save, delete it
viscid kernel
I think maybe itâs meant to do the 1d12 to the first target automatically, which means the subsequent save should skip the first target.

I don't know how to exclude the first targets.

How to manage Avrae commands for Beastmaster/Drakewarden?

Since those creatures scale with your character, it's best to homebrew a monster on critterDB and adjust them as you level up.

Hi my friends and I are struggling to figure out why I keep getting the necrotic damage bonus despite not getting a 20 roll
Am I executing this attack incorrectly?
I'm just doing !a "Longsword of Life Stealing" -t <target>
flat drum
Because magical weapons on Beyond don't import to Avrae properly. You can make an attack for this on the dashboard though.
The Dagger of Venom always does poison damage and don't get me started with the Dragonwing Bow
Your best bet is to:
- Make a custom attack that works properly.
Or - Rename a similar magical weapon and add the extra damage as appropriate.
raw rune
So if the roll requirement is hit then then DM would need to modify the HP for the extra damage Im guessing?

Is there any tutorials for using the Editor? The link on the editor page just takes me to a page thats not really relevant

For attacks? Youâd want to go to this page, mouse over your character, and click the wrench that appears.

Ive gotten to that, but I dont understand how to transcribe the attack into the editor
Its not clear for example where to put the damage roll or the attack roll
viscid kernel
Go to âSelect an Attackâ > âNewâŠâ first. Give it an Attack Name.
Then under âAutomationâ, select âAdd attack and damage (preset)â.
flat drum
Basically you'll do Target each On hit: condition: (target.creature_type and targetcreature_type not in ('construct', 'undead')) and lastAttackNaturalRoll==20 On true: damage = 1d8+{strengthMod}[magical slashing]+10[necrotic] On false: damage = 1d8+{strengthMod}[magical slashing]
viscid kernel
That should give you a working base to start with.

viscid kernel
Add a separate Target node, and set it to target âcasterâ.
flat drum
and use the same condition
I think
...I'm not sure if lastAttack.... works in another target or not
yeah
I think you'll need to add a variable
at the beginning
set it to 0
then after the condition for the attack to add the extra 10, set the variable to 1
then target self
condition (your variable)
on true: add the thp
this says: It must be inside a Target effect.
so I don't think you can reference a prior attack inside another target effect
raw rune
so I don't think you can reference a prior attack inside another target effect
Yep that appears to do it! Only odd thing is that it hasnt applied the necrotic damage to a goblin
Using your condition still I think (target.creature_type and targetcreature_type not in ('construct', 'undead')) and lastAttackNaturalRoll==20
viscid kernel
Youâre missing a dot there.
raw rune
Where abouts?
viscid kernel
Should be target.creature_type both times.
raw rune
Why does it need specifying twice?
viscid kernel
It probably doesnât, honestly.
raw rune
Makes sense, Ill simplify it and try again
viscid kernel
But the second one without the dot is definitely an error.
You probably need to switch it to ['construct', 'undead'], too.
[] instead of ()
Anyway, having it twice like that checks to make sure the target has a creature type. If it doesnât, that currently wonât apply the extra damage.
If you remove the first, then it will apply if there is no creature type (and they rolled a 20).
So it just comes down to how you want to handle that situation.
raw rune
So I've got (target.creature_type and target.creature_type not in ['construct', 'undead']) and lastAttackNaturalRoll==20
But this still isn't triggering the True statement for the necrotic damage
viscid kernel
Try switching the error behavior from âfalseâ to âraiseâ.
That should hopefully give some more information.
raw rune
Where is that?
raw rune
viscid kernel
Ah
raw rune
I take it then that arrays arent allowed?
viscid kernel

So I should make explicit checks?

Avrae + University of Pennsylvania: the Avrae NLP Project
Want to help us make Avrae even smarter and make advances in natural language processing? Tired of memorizing long Avrae commands? Do you run a play-by-post Discord server for D&D using Avrae? We're collaborating with a research group at the University of Pennsylvania to create an AI that can understand your natural roleplay posts and automatically suggest the right command and arguments to use!
To teach this AI how to play Dungeons & Dragons, it needs to learn from examples - that's where you come in. Ask your server administrator to contribute by enabling "Contribute Message Data to Natural Language AI Training" under the "Miscellaneous Settings" tab in the !servsettings menu!
If this setting is enabled, Avrae will record a log of your gameplay, including roleplay posts, bot commands, and copies of character sheets, in channels with an active combat, and automatically contribute these logs to the research group at Penn.
Want to learn more about the project? You can find the project's website at https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~ccb/language-to-avrae.html.

Does anyone know how to use chromatic infusion with avrae commands?
viscid kernel
In most cases, youâll probably want to do it manually, by adding -d "1d4 [fire]â or similar when you attack.
!a dagger -d "1d4 [fire]"
Alternatively, you could add an effect that causes that extra damage automatically, but it will apply to all damage you do (and even healing).
!i effect <your_name> "Chromatic Infusion" -dur 10 -d "1d4 [fire]"
Iâm assuming the official automation just adds an effect as a reminder but doesnât automatically apply the damage for that reason.
If itâs something you use often, you could create a snippet or even a separate attack to make that easier.

So, I want to create a particular type of weapon/class archetype for the sake of character aesthetic; namely, I want a character centred around "card magic," with their damage determined by the hand of 5 poker cards they pull each round.
The value of the card would determine damage (2-9 dealing 1d4+Dex, 10-King dealing 1d6+Dex, Ace dealing 1d8+Dex, with each individual die divided by half and rounded up, which comes out to an average damage of 12 if I assume +4 Dex modifier) while the suit determines damage type (Clubs deal force, hearts deal radiant, diamond deals psychic, and spade deals necrotic).
Is there any way to create an Avrae command where I tell it what I rolled (9â§, 3âĄ, Aâ, 5â§, and 2âĄ, for example) and have it do the rest of the math, taking the damage types of the suits into account?
viscid kernel
Are the cards drawn as part of a single, specific attack?
Or applied to a variety of attacks?
white cave
Ideally as one attack; pull a hand of 5 cards and deal the appropriate magical damage
viscid kernel
If thatâs the case, Iâd just have the attack draw the card and process that accordingly.
Rather than drawing separately and trying to pass that in.
white cave
Could you elaborate a bit pls? My command of Avrae commands is a little... lacking, to say the least, lmao
viscid kernel
Youâd probably want to build this one on the dashboard.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/characters
Just hover over your character, click the wrench that appears, and add a new attack.
Iâd start by adding two Rolls: one for the card number and one for the damage. Make sure theyâre marked as Hidden.
Then a Variable to convert the card number to a die size.
An âAttack and damage (preset)â to make the actual attack.
And a Text to display the selected card.
white cave
viscid kernel
Actually, is there an attack roll? Or a saving throw?
white cave
Alright... I have the two hidden rolls, the variable, the "Attack and damage (preset)," and the text, but what should I put in the fields?
viscid kernel
Or is it just damage?
viscid kernel
Alright... I have the two hidden rolls, the variable, the "Attack and damage (pr...
Starting with the rolls, you probably want 1d13 for the card number (1-King) and 1d4 for the suit.
You can name the rolls whatever you like.
flat drum
This would unfortunately allow for doubles to be drawn
Though it would be at most a 4/52 chance
Since you're drawing 5 cards
If I got my maths right.
viscid kernel
Avoiding doubles is doable, but significantly more complex.
white cave
Starting with the rolls, you probably want 1d13 for the card number (1-King) and...
Got the rolls done; what should I put in the variable?
viscid kernel
Well, it would make some parts easier; others more complicated.
viscid kernel
Got the rolls done; what should I put in the variable?
Something like this for the variable should work.
8 if draw == 1 else 4 if int(draw) < 10 else 6
Assuming you named the variable âdrawâ for the card number.
flat drum
The damage variable
How is the damage calculated? Face value of the cards?
Or is it based on the poker hand?
Because... oof
Oh I...sort of see
So each card has a variable for the number and each card has a variable for suit.
Damage: 1d{variableName}+{dexterityMod}[{damageType}]
Since you're setting the die size with your variable
I assumed you're setting a variable for the damage type as well, based off the d4 roll
viscid kernel
Variables have to result in an integer, not a string.
So the damage type check would have to happen there in the damage.
1d{{die}} + {{dexterityMod}} [{{'force' if suit == 1 else 'radiant' if suit == 2 else 'psychic' if suit == 3 else 'necrotic'}}]
flat drum
Ah right
white cave
So after adding that code into this section (assuming that this is the right one, lmao), what do I do next?
white cave
It's doing damage, Avrae is DMing me the results for some reason, but it shows this message in the actual server:
flat drum
Do you have a text field that's blank?
And Avrae always DMs the monster damage to the GM
flat drum
Now, if you wanted to get fancy... you can make the description tell what card you drew
Instead of just the type
white cave
flat drum
{{caster.name}} drew the {{'ace' if int(card)==1 else 'jack' if int(card)==11 else 'queen' if int(card)==12 else 'king' if int(card)==13 else card}} of {{'hearts' if.....```Hopefully you get the idea
white cave
Yup! I'll fill it out shortly~
flat drum
You should only need to specify the non-number cards
white cave
Done, and it works! Thanks a bunch~
Btw, this works great for drawing single cards, but is there a way to draw a hand of five cards and have them each deal their individual damage as a single command, rather than do the regular attack 5 seperate times?
viscid kernel
Yeah, there is.
Figured it would be easier to get one card working and then expand it.
What Iâd do at this point is export the attack, using the little arrow icon in the top right corner.
Then you can directly edit the code, which would make the duplication here a little easier.
But ultimately, youâll need to duplicate the rolls and variable node for however many cards you want to draw.
And make sure they all have unique names. (card2 is good enough, IMO.)
white cave
white cave
Finally done; had to do it the long way since the thing wouldn't let me import the code, but it's in and working now!
white cave
Actually, bringing this back up due to finally being free again, since I got quite busy last night and this morning.
While the code does indeed work quite well, I was wondering if I could get walked through the process of altering it so that I don't roll duplicates within the same hand of 5 cards?
viscid kernel
Youâd have to write it as an alias instead through the automation engine. Itâs a completely different approach.
It would make the process of drawing cards easier, but youâd have to manually implement things like targeting, attack rolls, damage, etc. that the automation engine normally gives you for free.
white cave
Could you possibly walk me through that process please? So I can see what the pros/cons of either approach are for myself
flat drum
Couldn't you do rerolls for suit on the other cards?
Oh it's 5 cards
I was thinking
roll: 1d4
name: suit
...
roll: 1d4rr{suit}
name: suit2
...
roll: 1d4rr{suit}rr{suit2}...```@flat drum :game_die:
Result: 1d4rr1rr2rr3 (1, 4)
Total: 4
flat drum
It would heavily reduce the chances of a dupe
viscid kernel
That eliminates the whole suit, though, and not just that one card.
flat drum
Would be better to do it with the numbers
viscid kernel
And with four suits, youâd have to reuse one.
flat drum
But yeah
viscid kernel
Could you possibly walk me through that process please? So I can see what the pr...
Anyway⊠an alias at its simplest is just a user-defined shortcut to run another built-in command.
In this case, youâd want it to run the !embed command.
flat drum
That would be cool as an alias since you could do extra damage with a pair, full house, etc
viscid kernel
!multiline
!alias card embed -title "{{name}} draws a magic card!"
!card
Wut
viscid kernel
Building blocks
An alias can also run code called Draconic, which is what youâd use to draw the cards, resolve the target, roll the attack, and apply the damage.
So the embed itself is ultimately just displaying the result.
flat drum

white cave
Oh, I have a plan for the hand bonuses as a sperate thing already, so no need to worry about that!
However... sorry, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around what you guys are saying 
Bit of a dummy when it comes to this kinda stuff, lol
Could you possibly break it up into steps for me to implement, please?
viscid kernel
Youâd need to write the code in Python, basically. Thereâs a short tutorial here:
https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aliasing/aliasing_tut.html
And the full API here:
https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aliasing/api.html
flat drum
It's very different from the dashboard and there is no real good place to start other than the !deck alias on the Avrae Development Server maybe.
cursive raptor
If yall are free can I ask a question?
viscid kernel
Ask away!
cursive raptor
is there a command, or some kther method to pull up the code behind a preexsisting attack?
viscid kernel
Depends on what exactly youâre looking for, honestly.
If you go to the Avrae dashboard here, you can hover over your character and click the wrench that appears to view any manually-added attacks.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/characters
You can also hit the scanner icon there to copy a wide variety of monster attacks from the Basic Rules and see how those were set up.
But you wonât be able to see the built-in attacks imported from your character sheet.
Is there something specific you were looking for, though?
viscid kernel
Oh, I have a plan for the hand bonuses as a sperate thing already, so no need to...
This draws the cards and avoids duplicates, but it doesnât yet display the actual cards drawn:
!multiline
!a add "Magic Card" -b dexterityMod+proficiencyBonus -d 0
!alias card a "Magic Card" <drac2>
numCards = 5
cards = []
suits = [['clubs', 'force'], ['hearts', 'radiant'], ['diamonds', 'psychic'], ['spades', 'necrotic']]
while len(cards) < numCards:
num = randint(1, 14)
die = 8 if num == 1 else 4 if num < 10 else 6
suit, dtype = randchoice(suits)
card = {'num': num, 'die': die, 'suit': suit, 'dtype': dtype}

cards.append(card)
out = [f'-d "1d{c.die} [{c.dtype}]"' for c in cards]
return ' '.join(out)
</drac2>
ah got it thanks, and tryna make an alias for the tentacle rod for a friend
mostly seeing if there was a way to shortxut it and find that before starting on something new
viscid kernel
Should be pretty easy to do there on the dashboard.
The tricky thing for this â if you want it all in one â will be determining if all three attacks were used against the same target.
But you could just make two separate attacks if you want to skip that headache.
One for the actual attack, and one for the save.
cursive raptor
iâve got the two attacks made now gonna skip the headache until I get my pc running again
phone coding isnt fun

At least now you can do it.

Snippets canât cause saving throws, Iâm afraid.
Or see the targets for an attack.

You can make custom spells in a Tome (!help tome), and custom actions/attacks for your character via the Dashboard!

Official monsters have abilities like that automated already.
If you're talking about homebrew monsters on critterDB, you can build the automation on your character and apply it to a monster.
If you are looking to make something on the fly that does a save, like custom traps or storms that only happen once in a while or are not attached to a specific monster, you can either make a DM sheet and create custom attacks or use the !use alias.
The !use alias allows you to target a few combatants, have them make a save and applies damage.

I had a long conversation the other day based around Firearms being Kensei weapons. Eventually he just pulled them up on Avrae and said I was wrong as they weren't listed as Martial weapons, at which point I went to the DMG, screenshotted and showed him otherwise. Is there a reason firearms aren't listed as Martial through Avrae?
flat drum
Itâs up to you to decide whether a character has proficiency with a firearm. Characters in most D&D worlds wouldnât have such proficiency. During their downtime, characters can use the training rules in the Playerâs Handbook to acquire proficiency, assuming that they have enough ammunition to keep the weapons working while mastering their use.``` from the Basic RulesThis is my guess, as well as them not being listed as Martial on Beyond.
Avrae pulls her information for items directly from Beyond, which updates their information based off current decisions from WoTC.

And just because they're optional doesn't make sense to me. They might not be allowed in every game, but for the ones they are allowed they should be listed as Martial
steady dew
Honestly, a single toggle for "yes firearms" or "no firearms" would fix so many issues with its listing, and they should also be listed as martial in avrae...
flat drum
You're actually kinda right and not. In the section in the DMG they're listed in, they're martial ranged weapons but they're not covered by the same proficiency as martial ranged weapons. However, if you search for them in equipment listings, they're down as Firearm Ranged Weapon
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
It would be nice if any weapon you added to your character had a spot to click for "proficient", but you can easily add your proficiency as a bonus to your attack.

Avrae v4.1.0
@Changelog Follower
v4.1 adds the ability to create and edit the new v4 initiative effect automation node on avrae.io using the Automation Editor redesign, add v4 initiative effects to combatants through aliasing methods, imports in Draconic, and more.
Read on for more details!
New Feature: Automation Editor Redesign
In order to utilize the full power of IEffect2s, Ability Check nodes, and improve the overall look and feel of the Automation Editor, we've redesigned and rewritten the automation editor on https://avrae.io! You can see it in action by editing your characters' attacks on the dashboard, in the homebrew tome editor, or on the automation playground.
Pro tip: Hold CTRL or CMD when clicking on a node's dropdown arrow to expand or minimize all of its children, too!
.
Aliasing IEffect2 Update
We've updated the SimpleCombatant.add_effect() method with IEffect2 parameters to allow alias and snippet authors to create effects that grant complex actions and one-click-automation buttons completely programmatically. Check out the documentation at https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aliasing/api.html#aliasing.api.combat.SimpleCombatant.add_effect to see the new arguments and some examples of how to use them!
We've also updated how to supply passive effects to use the new passive_effects parameter, and as such the old args parameter is now deprecated.
- Added
passive_effects,attacks, andbuttonsparameters - The
durationparameter is now optional and acceptsNonefor indefinite duration - The
argsparameter is now optional and has been deprecated - Breaking change:
add_effect()now returns the addedSimpleEffect
New Feature: Draconic Imports
!test <drac2>
using(
hello="50943a96-381b-427e-adb9-eea8ebf61f27"
)
return hello.hello()
</drac2>
Imports are now available in the Draconic runtime! By placing code that's commonly used across multiple aliases in a global variable, you can now create common "modules" exposing a library of functions that can be imported inside aliases and snippets. You can use this to cut down on code duplication and maintenance, or expose a public library for your aliases for other authors to interact with your aliases!
Check out the documentation at https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aliasing/api.html#using-imports, and the example modules using !gvar 50943a96-381b-427e-adb9-eea8ebf61f27 and !gvar 0bbddb9f-c86f-4af8-9e04-1964425b1554.
- Added
using()to import gvars as modules in the current namespace - Added
function.nameandfunction.docto access a function's name and docstring, similar to Python's__name__and__doc__
.
!init add Improvements
Thanks, @Julius Caesar | Please ping me đ!
The !init add command now supports setting the added combatant's ability scores, proficiency bonus, proficiencies, creature type, CR, and more! See !help init add for a list of all the new added arguments.
- Added arguments to set basic combatant's ability scores/stats
- Added arguments to set basic combatant's creature type and CR
- Added support for the
-nargument to add multiple basic combatants at once
Other Improvements
- Removed all aliasing methods deprecated before v4.0
- Added API endpoint to verify Draconic-generated signatures (see https://avrae.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aliasing/api.html#aliasing.evaluators.ScriptingEvaluator.verify_signature)
- Added framework to support displaying custom attacks as actions/bonus actions/etc under
!a list - Aliasing:
set()now creates a set (the datatype) instead of setting variables - Minor automation improvements
Bug Fixes
- Removed light themes from avrae.io
- Fixed an issue where certain commands and alias methods would error when used in Forum channels
- Fixed an issue where the
sleightOfHandandanimalHandlingkeys in thecheck_adv/check_disIEffect2 passive effects were not seen as valid due to casing rules - Fixed an issue where the
onErrorvalue in a Set Variable Automation node would not run if the error was encountered after evaluating the expression - Other minor bug fixes and improvements
final flower
does avrae always use the lower spell attack and save dc when you multiclass bc this is shown when yo do ! spellbook ?
viscid kernel
In !sb specifically, I think it just shows them for whatever class you learned first.
Same as the top of the Spells tab on your character sheet.
But when you !cast individual spells, it should use whatever class is associated to that spell.
undone vortex
How does one role adv or disadv on avrae?
flat drum
!check stealth adv
!c stealth dis
If you're only using the !roll command: !roll 2d20kh1 for adv
!r 2d20kl1
viscid kernel
adv and dis work for !roll as well.
empty linden
Have you had a long rest in your campaign? If so use !g long to tell Avrae that you have and it should restore HP and spell slots as expected.
Also run the !update command to ensure that Avrae has the latest data from your DnDBeyond character sheet.
Sorry that should be !g longrest
maiden jacinth
done all that :/
steady dew
or just !g lr
empty linden
And the spellslots are not being restored?
That is pretty weird and unexpected behavior
maiden jacinth
the slot's are empty yeah
steady dew
is this in initiative?
maiden jacinth
I was just testing them out before we got into another fight as we just leveled up aha
empty linden
Maybe try ending initiative and then doing a long rest
maiden jacinth
I just task manager closed discord and reopened, that seemed to have fixed it. Cheers
steady dew
what
empty linden
Interesting. Perhaps some unexpected Discord caching...
maiden jacinth
Not a clue, all I know is it fixed it haha.
flat drum
Very odd
calm tide
is there a store i can set up on avrae if so how do i use it or the economy?
empty linden
You can check the Avrae Dev server (see Avrae.io) for any user created and shared aliases that might provide store-like features.

https://github.com/avrae/avrae/releases/tag/v4.1.2
Bug Fixes
- Fixes an error when generating a token for characters imported from D&D Beyond

dreamy zephyr
is it possible for a snippet to interact with a custom counter?
for example if I use !a cr ma the bot would do a crossbow attack using my meanacing attack snippet but then I would have to !cc sup -1 right after. Is there a way to do both in 1 line?
fickle salmon
Simple answer is yes. The execution is a little trickier.
dreamy zephyr
is there a page/faq that explains how to set that up?
flat drum
It's really better to use the menacing action after a hit
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
dreamy zephyr
I was wondering if I could condense it into 1 line because of laziness tbh
flat drum
- It's something you decide after you hit.
- It involves a save, which snippets can't do.
dreamy zephyr
my group doesnt use init or whatever to track targets so the saving roll needs to be done manually by dm anyways
flat drum
Ah well that's easier
dreamy zephyr
yeah I can just use dndbeyond to track my dice worst case senario I just find using the cc command after clunky
flat drum
But it would still use the counter wether you hit or miss
dreamy zephyr
thanks for the help though 
flat drum
You can make a custom action on the dashboard that shoots a crossbow and on a hit uses a counter
dreamy zephyr
I was looking at the custom attack stuff on dashboard but couldnt figure out how to make it use a weapon, I assume id have to hardcode in a crossbow which would be even more pain later on when I get different weapons
its honestly also a lot of effort when I could just tick a checkbox on beyond instead
viscid kernel
Youâd give it an attack and damage with the same stats as your weapon.
flat drum
You can also do !a cros then !a menace
