EDIT: Long story short it can’t add dice to rolls, but I made a custom action that rolls a d4
So, as the party support player, I get tired of screaming "BLESS!", so I thought I'd make a homebrew.
I tried making a feat you can manually add when you're blessed, but it's not working correctly. Here's what I tried.
I made a new feat and added modifiers to saving throws and for each of the attack types using "Modifier Type: Bonus > Modifier Subtype: Saving Throws/etc > Dice Count: 1 > Die Type: d4"
This SHOULD, according to the syntax, make a (for instance) saving throw roll "1d20+1d4+MOD", but it doesn't work. When I add the feat, it shows it in the Saving Throw box, but it just says " on saves" instead of "+1d4 on saves".
My working theory is that this is because it can't make it roll a d4 on a save or attack. However, it should work according to the syntax of the builder so I'm guessing it simply doesn't have the ability to comply with the code.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Anyone with more competency found a way to make this work so I don't have to scream Bless every time?
Just enter into the description box "+1d4" and it will say "+1d4 on saves". I don't know if it works with the rollable character sheets because I never use those.
There is not way on ddb to automatically throw that extra die for Bless or anything else. Currently the only thing for Bless is a visible reminder under your saving throws. There is no visible reminder for Attacks or Skill Checks (such as with Guidance) to add an extra die.
I was sent that guide and it helped, but the issue is that there is no way to add a secondary die to a roll. The syntax engine cannot comprehend the command needed to turn “1d20+MOD” into “1d20+1d4+MOD”, so it just shows up as nothing.
I simply created a custom action that rolls a d4 and displayed it as attack. I’ll just roll it every time I would yell bless instead.
however, that guide was pretty helpful. I used it to make a rage item for the party barbarian and I made some “stress point” feats for the optional rules from ravenloft.
thanks for the help!
