Better Combat Effects Gold – Advanced Effect Automation for Fantasy Grounds

Take Full Control of Effect Timing & Automation

Better Combat Effects Gold (BCEG) is a powerful extension for Fantasy Grounds that enhances effect automation, allowing precise control over when effects activate, deactivate, or are removed. Specifically designed to support 5E Automatic Effects, BCEG ensures NPC and PC effects function exactly as intended in D&D 5E, reducing manual tracking and streamlining combat.

Built on the foundation of the free Better Combat Effects (BCE) extension, BCEG is the next evolution—fully backward compatible while adding advanced features and ongoing development (you should not load BCE when using this extension).

Key Features

• Fine-Tuned Effect Timing: Automate effect activation, deactivation, and removal (ADR) based on specific triggers.
• Trigger Effects on Actions & Damage: Activate or remove effects when an actor attacks, takes damage, or inflicts damage.
• Custom Effect Expiration: Set durations, trigger new effects when one expires, and stack multiple effects dynamically.
• Ongoing Saves & Statuses: Automate ongoing damage, healing, saving throws, regeneration, and rest-based effects.
• Enhanced NPC Effect Support: Process NPC effects based on Class, Level, and Proficiency—expanding automation beyond player characters.
• Save vs Condition Improvements: Saves vs. conditions automatically grant advantage or disadvantage based on the actor's traits.
• Expanded Effect Tags: Use ADVCOND, DISCOND, SAVERESTL, EFFINIT, and more to enhance automation precision.
• Support for 5eAE NPC Automation: BCEG seamlessly integrates parentheses-style effect tags (e.g., (LVL), (PRF), (CLASS)) to ensure full functionality with NPC powers and abilities.
