Fantasy Grounds Ongoing Save Effects

ADD TO WISHLIST >

MY7HpVn.pngPlatinum seller

This is an EXTENSION for use with the Fantasy Grounds VTT.

This extension adds several new effect modifier types. SAVEO and SAVEDMG are intended to be used together.


SAVEO - This effect modifier is used to track and roll saving throws that occur at the start of your turn. This is used with SAVEDMG.
It is for ongoing saves that you roll at the start of your turn.
SAVEO parameters
SAVEO: DC
- The stat used for the saving throw written with 3 letters: STR, CON, DEX, INT, WIS, CHA
The DC value of the saving throw. Written: DC XX
[This property is optional.] Is the damage magical in nature. If so, properly apply magic resistance if applicable. Written: (M)
[This property is optional.] Does the effect do half damage on a save. If not present, the effect will do full damage on a failed save, and no damage on a successful one. Written: (H)?>?>

SAVEDMG - This effect modifier defines the damage that occurs when a saving throw is failed.
SAVEDMG parameters
SAVEDMG:
- A number or dice string.
- one of the standard 5e damage types.

An example showing the SAVEO and SAVEDMG elements implementing the Cleric spell "Spirit Guardians" could be written as follows.
Spirit Guardians; SAVEO: WIS DC 15 (M)(H); SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant; (C)

If we break down each part of the effect we get the following:
"Spirit Guardians;" - A label to remind us what caused this effect (optional)
"SAVEO: WIS DC 15 (M)(H);" - The SAVEO tells us to save at the start of our turn. WIS is the stat to be used for the saving throw. DC 15 is the target DC you need to match or beat with your roll. (M) means it's magic damage so that things with magic resistance would properly get their advantage. (H) means half damage on success.
"SAVEDMG: 3d8 radiant;" - The damage to be rolled after the save, in this case it would be 3d8 radiant type damage. NOTE: you can string multiples of these if you need different damage types.
"(C)" - The person who applied this effect is concentrating on it so they'll properly roll their concentration saves if they are hit.

SAVEOE works the same as SAVEO except at the end of the turn.

SAVEEFF: type which can be used to add effects to the target if the save is failed.

SAVEEND - The SAVEEND effect modifier is used to automatically roll saving throws for effects which allow a save at the end of each turn.
SAVEEND parameters
SAVEEND: DC

An example showing the SAVEEND elements implementing the "Hold Monster" spell could be written as follows.
Hold Monster; Paralyzed; SAVEEND: WIS DC 15; (C)

Breaking that down we have:
"Hold Monster;" - A label to remind us what caused this effect (optional)
"Paralyzed;" - The effect caused by the spell
"SAVEEND: WIS DC 15" - The SAVEEND tells us to save at the end of our turn. WIS is the stat to be used. DC 15 is the target DC you need to match or beat with your roll. On a successful save the effect will automatically expire.
"(C)" - The person who applied this effect is concentrating on it so they'll properly roll their concentration saves if they are hit.

Ok, followed the example. The ONLY creature that gets zapped by spirit guardians is the cleric who cast it. Somehow, it's not clear. Perhaps I'm confusing this with aura effects?

Sounds like you’re confusing it with the aura effects. This can be combined with that, but if not then you would apply the ongoing effect to the targets that will take the damage.

The extension "5E - Ongoing Save Effects", doesn't works on Unity anymore. IDK if someone noticed before, but, well, it needs an update.

There has been an issue with the extension where it is preventing the auto-parsing of any spell effects in the combat tracker. Any creature that has a spell like Hold Person or Spirit Guardians or any other effect that this otherwise wonderful extension would allow to add to the combat tracker makes it encounter a fatal error.

This not only makes it so that the actions tab on the combat tracker is full of blank, unparsed spaces, but it also prevents pre-existing effects from populating in the combat tracker, like resistances, immunities, or other things. If the creature is found in an encounter, it crashes the entire encounter, failing to add any other monsters from the encounter and deleting any alterations of pictures or names that were available.

As you can imagine, that makes it pretty unusable. I've been using Better Combat Effects to replicate what this extension did, and while it is wonderful, it doesn't have automatic parsing for spells and abilities for enemies added to the tracker....See more

The readme tells me to visit a Google Doc. Google Doc tells me to 1) RTFM, but there is no manual for this extension anywhere, 2) watch a video to understand how to use this, but there is no video to watch for this extension (not a link here as implied, neither is a relevant video findable in Youtube on your channel or via search). I have no idea how I should use this. Do I need to manually add these effects? If yes, how do I do that -- where do I, e.g., write the example lines given in the product description?

Any chance you might merge the TEMPO code into this ext so they both can work at the same time?

Thanks, is it possible to make it roll a save when damaged? For example Tashas Hideous Laughter allows a save-roll when damage, would be nice (I now have it as a NOTE, but love automation :) Very nice ext by the way, making my life so much easier :)

There’s nothing for on damage to automatically roll. I’ll add it to the feature list when I get a chance though.

Is there an extension (or can this one do it) that does "on going ability checks" instead of saves. There are some spells where a check is made and not a save. Thanks!

HI Kent,
Can the effects be applied to an NPC in such a fashion that they will save on the end of MY next turn... i.e. so it can implement the monks stunning strike?
If not, there's an additional feature for you to work on :P

Cheers, Stv.

I haven't tested anything for that use case, but I may be able to add something like that in.

One more thing, it does not cover them all, but I found this helpful. Search on google with this criteria:

Ok, just to be clear (I know pain in the butt here):
SAVEO and SAVEOE just rolls the save. If I want the effect to be removed automatically I have to use SAVEEND. That all seems to work perfectly. BUT, what if I want the effect to be removed at the start of their turn. Is there a SAVESTART?

There is not, but if you’d like to discuss further visit us here: https://discord.gg/FVgtecr I’m happy to discuss adding additional features and such. That’s how SAVEOE came into existence.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
