Does the {{savedc:cha}} cover the save DC of the class in question, or just a charisma save DC? For example, if I were warlock and had an item that increased the warlock save DC by +3, would that be caught by the snippet?
I'm trying to create a new Warlock Patreon based on The Fiend, and I want to give it a feature that allows the Warlock's body to be possessed by its Patreon for a limited amount of time. The big benefit I want to give during this time is 1 extra spell slot for each Mystic Arcanum you have, and for all spell slots to increase to the level of your highest level Mystic Arcanum (However your Mystic Arcanum spells themselves cannot be used in this state, it just upcasts all your lvl 5 and below spells). How would I write Snippet code that changes based on the amount of Mystic Arcanums you have, and the level of the highest level one? Is that even possible?

I'm going to assume this is the 14th-level ability, since at level 10 the character would not have any Mystic Arcana. In that case, you can use these snippets:
Number of Mystic Arcana / number of extra spell slots: {{(classlevel/2-5)@roundup,max:4}}
I know this is a old post but is there a way to calculate a shield bonus in this snippet code?
any help would be appreciated.
Can you elaborate more on what information you're trying to convey for this shield bonus? Or at least a use case, what information you'd expect to see in the snippet.
so i would like to calculate the below for a feat I'm home brewing for a new calculation that the player can look at so they don't have to keep doing the calculation
i need a code for
10 + modifier:dex@max:2 + bonus of a equipped shield = amount
so if they attach a shield that gives +3 it calculates this for them for a damage reduction feat.
Ah. There is unfortunately no way to draw in equipped item information like this. It would simply have to mention their equipped shield bonus separately. E.g. "{{snippet}} + your current shield bonus"
Any snippet for adding limited use to a 2d8 psychic damage from a sword? My DM has given the rapier 6 charges a day. 1 charge per psychic extra damage, or 2 charges to cast Misty Step. I'd like to add limited use to the damage and the spell to track the usage of the charges.

Snippets don’t actually “do” anything, they just display information. You would need to add an action to the magic item, but actions are not supported on magic items at the present time. And there is no snippet field for magic items, so there is nowhere to put a snippet on. Magic item.
You don’t need to actually add any limited uses however, just add the charges and tick them off when used.
Are there snippet codes for advantage and skills(ie performance and persuasion)?
No.
You could built the snippet of say, the relevant ability score plus proficiency but given that default ability scores for skills do not cover every use and DMs may ask for different ones (like Strength-based intimidation or Intelligence-based Persuasion) if the situation arises - it would be unwise.
There is no "{{skillbonus}}" type snippet. I don't even know why you'd want a snippet for "advantage" - there's no way to make that as a snippet.

Can you have more than one {{scalevalue}} in snippet that calls different values? Like if I want one to call a damage table I set up and another for say the number of uses of a power (like the runes in Rune Carver).

{{scalevalue}} specifically refers to the Fixed Value in the Level Scaling section of a subclass feature:
Different subclass features can have different Level Scaling if that's what you mean. All of this is different than an action's limited use counters.

Is there a way I can change it into the class DC?

AlumniUnfortunately, no. The snippet codes don't have a "class spell DC" option, and so don't take into account items that increase specific class save DCs.

If I wanted to set the total number of uses for a feature that equals a player's proficiency bonus before a short rest, what would that look like?

AlumniYou'd just use a snippet that was something like:
{{proficiency}} times per short rest
Thank you Halfwing
Sorry if this was already asked, but is there any way to print the characters movement speed?
No.
