5E Automatic Effects - Dungeon Master's Guide (Fantasy Grounds)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Instantly add effects for all items and spells found in the 5e Dungeon Master's Guide

5E Automatic Effects is a series of modules to aid Game Masters and Players by automatically adding coding effects in the 5e D&D ruleset on the Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop platform.

These modules pre-build all possible custom and spell effects for your equipment, magic items, spell scrolls and spells, organized into separate modules for each book. Each book will be added to the 5e Automatic Effects bundle as it is completed, allowing you to purchase the entire collection at a discount!

Although the 5e Automatic Effect modules can be used stand-alone, they were designed from the ground up to work with the Equipped Effects Extension, created by SilentRuin and listed for sale on the FG Forge (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/158/view ). When used in conjunction, adding coding effects is as simple as adding an item to your character’s inventory - the extension handles everything else!

5e Automatic Effects for the Dungeon Master’s Guide contains:

  • Effects for item templates to fit all available weapons and armor

  • Effects for all adventuring gear, potions, rings, rods, staffs, wands and wondrous items

  • Over 400 included effects

  • Lighting and vision effects for items with ambient light

  • NPC statblocks included in where needed

  • Organized into easy to filter groups for effect searching

It is recommended that you own the D&D 5e Dungeon Master's Guide for Fantasy Grounds to use this coding module.

Hello,
I bought the package containing all the rulebooks, but it's not working as it should. I loaded the modules, using the "5E Equipped Effects" extension, and created a character as shown in the video. However, when I added the character to the combat tracker, there were no actions added based on the items the character has (like a healing potion, for example). Could you please help me find out what the problem is?

I'll try to help. Did you follow all the steps? Loaded the modules, checked the equipped effects extension? Reading your question, I assume that is allright.
For your example with the potion: don't forget to identify and equip the potion. Other magic items may also need to be attuned.

I was forgetting to equip the item :s
Thank you for your help!
One last thing, regarding the mismatching between some NPC features, like the lair action "Earth Tremor" of the Adult Red Dragon: Should I fix the mismatches by adding the correct effects by myself or am I missing something?

This might be easier to diagnose in a little more real time.. Are you on our discord server? If not, stop on by and look at the vtt-support channel. https://discord.gg/grimpress

It appears the code made to adjust the data library, in this case for “item”, is overwriting and making it so other extensions which add index buttons via the built in code cannot do so. Could this be made to be more compatible with extensions that do this? For instance, the 5E Random Spellbook Generator extension adds an index button to the item window. While equipped effects is loaded, that button is inaccessible due to the complete overwrite to the data library.

Hi Troy,

While we don't advertise compatibility with extensions created by other creators (as we have no idea how they are referencing / changing source code), if you would like to join our Discord server and chat with us, we might hopefully accommodate your request.

How do you add wands with effect, like wand of magic missile's to inventory?

Hi Mark,

Do you have the Equipped Effects extension loaded? If so, you simply need to add the wand of magic missiles to your character sheet and equip it. If you don't have the extension loaded, you will need to search the 5eAE DMG effects (found in the spells tab) and drag that over to your character sheet.

If you need additional help, please join our discord server and we can help you:

I am having a problem getting 3083538-GP_5E_Automatic_Effects_Dungeon_Masters_Guide.mod to load. I bought all 3 today.
3083538-GP_5E_Automatic_Effects_Dungeon_Masters_Guide.mod
3083538-GP_5E_Automatic_Effects_Players_Handbook.mod
3083538-GP_5E_Automatic_Effects_Xanathars_Guide_Everything.mod

I downloaded them through the DriveThurRGP downloader app. I have all 3 side by side in the modules directory. I can load Players and Xanathars but DM guide does not show up to be able to load.

It must have been a bad download. I downloaded it again from the website not using the downloader and then put that in the folder and I can load it.

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.
