Who else uses Avrae bot through Discord? My group is currently in a love/hate relationship with it - granted, mostly due to having to learn and remember the commands, but lately mostly due to "missing" things. So I thought I'd post about it and see what everyone else thought, especially since I am really enjoying the fact that I can DM a group INTERNATIONALLY with it.
Our groups current list of "missing" items we'd like to see:
Wild Shape - the biggie. We have a druid, a ranger, and a ranger/druid playing through Rime of the Frostmaiden. Currently, I just add the appropriate monster to combat and make rolls for the characters, but not being able to roll yourself does take out a lot of the fun of playing. I mean, we're already using the built-in Avrae roller as it is, so taking even that away kinda hurts.
A dedicated support team if possible would be nice? Or at least a way to get support without joining the support discord server and trying to be heard by the devs when a bug comes up? For example, one of my rangers can't cast Hail of Thorns even though the other ranger can. It keeps coming back with the message that it's a homebrew spell, when it's from the PHB. We've tried everything we could think of short of completely deleting the character and starting over, including de-leveling and re-levelling the character with no dice. (PUN POLICE?)
More intuitive targeting. For example: !i attack pick character versus !i attack pick -t character , which may seem like nothing until you get into spells and abilities with multiple targets like entangle or fireball. [edit] This hurts WAAAY more when you're on discord on a phone or tablet rather than a desktop. Just putting that out there.
And last but not least, more of a wish-list item, an integrated map, similar to battleship coding perhaps, that would help with and relates back to easier targeting? Something players could potentially even use to move their own characters via entered commands?
All that said, the bot is truly amazing, with its FULL integration into all of the Beyond materials we couldn't be happier.
Thanks for any feedback and please keeps comments constructive.

It can be cast but it says 'no spell automation found'

well that doesn't mater to much since if your not using the Intitive tracker which DOES adds your shape to it.. you can still as a player use the Monster attack and check commands.

When I run a command, the bot deletes the command message as it runs the command, so characters can't just copy paste the roll command, and have to type out !r 4d10kh3 every. signle. time. I would imagine this would be as simple as deleting a single line of code, and if I can't fix it, I'm switching to another bot.

to prevent that, if you're trying to give a copy paste... just put ` around the command, like `!roll 4d10kh3` and the bot won't run it.

Wait.. why can't you wild shape I've seen it done?
I think there is a battle map bot out there that piggy backs Avrae
