Game Systems

Ability Test and Skill Test

Both actions roll on the actor and branch on whether the roll passed.

System	Rolls	Passes when
dnd5e	Ability Test’s Type field picks a Saving Throw or an Ability Check; Skill Test rolls the chosen Skill Check.	The total meets or beats DC.
pf2e	Same choice of Saving Throw or Ability Check for Ability Test; Skill Test rolls the chosen skill.	The degree of success is a success or better.

DC is a fixed number on both actions. Ability and Skill show as dropdowns of the system’s own abilities or skills on dnd5e and pf2e; on any other system they’re free-text fields for that system’s internal key.

The roll happens on the Primary GM’s client, without opening a dialog, unless Prompt the Player is on. Whether the roll passed reaches the next action as {{previous}}, true or false. If nobody answers a prompted roll, {{previous}} is null instead of false. See Placeholders and Conditions.

Hurt/Heal

Value is a dice formula. A positive value damages the actor; a negative value heals it.

A negative value heals whatever Damage Type is set to.

Leaving Damage Type blank applies the amount as-is, with no resistances, weaknesses, or immunities. Setting a type applies them.

System	Damage Type choices
dnd5e	The system’s damage types and healing types, in one list.
pf2e	The system’s damage types.
Any other system	Free text for that system’s own type key.

Post to Chat also posts the roll as a damage card. Roll Mode controls who sees that card; it does nothing while Post to Chat is off.

Attack (dnd5e)

The Attack action rolls one of an actor’s item’s attack activities. It only appears in the Add picker when the active game system is dnd5e.

Field	What it does
Actor	The actor whose item attacks.
Item ID	The attacking item’s document ID on that actor.
Target	Targeted before the roll, so the attack has an AC to beat.
Post Chat Card	Posts the item’s card.
Card Only	Posts the item’s card without rolling the attack.
Fast Forward	Skips the roll’s configuration dialog.
Also Roll Damage	Rolls damage right after the attack.
Roll Mode	Controls who sees the rolls.

Also Roll Damage only rolls when the attack roll is a critical hit or meets/beats the target’s AC. A target with no readable AC, or no target at all, counts as a hit. If the item has no attack activity, Glyph uses it normally instead, without rolling an attack.

Prompt the Player

Ability Test and Skill Test’s Prompt the Player field asks a connected player to roll instead of rolling silently on the GM’s side.

Glyph asks the actor’s first connected owner who isn’t a GM. If none is connected, it asks the connected GM instead. If neither is connected, the roll doesn’t happen and {{previous}} is null.

When asked, the roll opens the system’s own roll dialog on that player’s client, and the program waits for their answer.

Other systems

Ability Test, Skill Test, and Hurt/Heal appear in the Add picker on every game system, but only dnd5e and pf2e have an adapter registered. Running one of these on any other system fails, and the error appears in the trigger’s History.

Attack (dnd5e) doesn’t appear in the Add picker at all outside dnd5e.
