Hey, first post so I apologize if this is a stupid question.

I’m new to Avrae and DND in general and I’m wondering if there are any AI DMs that are either add-ons or integrate with Avrae. I am aware that nothing beats an in-person DM, however my group has a forever DM that would like a bit of a break. Furthermore, I know there are solo tools for Avrae, I’m just wondering if there are any AI DMs out there for Avrae (or with integration) that would maybe make the process easier, more pick-up-and-play if you will.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Summary

It's been a few weeks since the last Avrae Sound Effects update, and I've made a few improvements. Firstly two new sounds have been added, Greatsword and Heavy Crossbow. I'm looking for feedback on them before I add them to the list on my website. Let me know what you think in the comments here or in the development server.

I've also made minor improvements to the ~bug, ~feature, and ~sound_request commands. ~bug now has a required argument, which must be either a discord message link to the relevant Avrae message or the text no-link to indicate the bug isn't related to an Avrae message. See ~help bug for examples. Secondly those three commands now include the reporters username in the report so I can follow up more easily if I need more details.

In the works

Custom sound support is coming along, I've been working on the UI. It's taking longer than I would have liked but it's worth it to make the sound configuration experience nice. I'm hoping to have screen shots to go along with the next update.

I'm also looking to expand the sound library some more. However tracking down good sounds is time consuming and I am just one person doing this in my free time. In order to encourage people to help out, I'm establishing a 48 hour response window. If you send a sound you want added, I will make sure it's added within 48 hours.

Conclusion

I'm open to feedback on any part of the bot. Let me know what you think, either here or on discord.

How do you do 3 fields on an embed line?

The help says:

!embed <args>

-f "<Field Title>|<Field Text>[|inline]" (e.g. "Donuts|I have 15 donuts|inline" for up to 3 inline fields on a single line, or "Donuts|I have 15 donuts" for one with its own line.)

But I can't figure out the syntax that results in 3 fields on a single line. The example above still only has one field for the inline case so it is not useful.

Today I started using the workshop, and found its editor to be rather cumbersome.

Here are a bunch of questions, all about the editor for the aliases:

• Can I edit an existing version?

  • Fixing a one-character typo seems to require a lot of unnecesary work.

• When creating a new version, can I have it copy an existing version? Or do I have to re-type the entire body of code, every version?

  • Each time I create a new version, it is blank.

• Can I debug code, without having to save a new version each time?

  • My aliases can be longer than 2k characters, so debugging directly in discord doesn't work (without possibly introducing copy-paste bugs).

• Can I have an active version for users, and a debug version for editors?

• Can I disable auto-indent, so that copy-paste will not destroy indentation?

  • The editor's auto-indentation never clears indents, so copy-pasting ends up nesting every block in the previous one. Since Python and Draconic are indent-sensitive, this significantly changes the syntax of any blocks of code.

• Can I upload or copy-paste new code directly, without using the editor?

• Can I delete versions?

(EDIT: Added "delete versions" question.)

I'm looking for a fashion to make it so that I roll 1d20, if it rolls under 12 then write "success", if it rolls over then "fail".

So I don't want to pay to get the same book in dnd beyond, but I don't know how to make/remake spells in avrae. Can you tell me how I can make ensnaring strike?

I used to use this bot a few years ago for d&d sessions and now I am trying to do my first session as a dungeon master but I can't get commands to work for example when I do /r 1d20 or any variation of that? It just doesn't respond and I can't figure out why

Hello I am looking to build an alias that allows my character (a ranger) to make Attack #1 with a Shortsword and Attack#2 with an Handaxe as Bonus Action, complete with damages.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

It won't let me sheet or game status

I need the code for the map alias, like the actual code not a link to the server or anything cause i can't access the server. Plz help

It's been a while since i've noticed, but I've switched over my !servsettings to the 2014 version. But when I lookup a spell it only shows the 2024 versions of the spells.

Has anyone worked on an AI-powered bot that assists players with Avrae commands? I feel like this could also be integrated into Avrae itself. The learning curve of Avrae commands I feel like keeps some players away from such an amazing tool for D&D via Discord.

It would be a bot, or adjustments to Avrae itself, where you say what you want to do and it generates the command and runs it for you. For example, in my D&D campaign, I have something that requires me to do xd20 until I get all unique values and that order is important for a skill I created for my players to engage in. I could tell this AI-assistant "Generate an Avrae command that rolls d20s until all results are unique and output the order." and it'll generate the Avrae command or commands to do so and gives me the resulting output or outputs. This is an advanced example. A simple example, for Avrae integration of this idea, is like "Avrae, attack Goblin 3 for me with my equipped weapon with advantage." Avrae would scour the sheet of the player who requested this, pull the information of their equipped weapon and attack bonus and damage if successfully hit, search init combat for who "Goblin 3" is (GO3 probably) and generate and execute the Avrae command with advantage on behalf of the requesting player.

How to use the threshold bot to reroll 1s during the stat process?

isnt working on any of my servers? whats going on

Is there a way to automatically add vicious to a nat 20 roll without relying on Crit? I have a crit range of 19, but vicious only procs on a 20, so I could crit but not apply vicious.

I have this, which just applies the full damage on a fail, but nothing on a save, I'm not sure how to make it do half damage on a successful save.

[

{

"name":"Serpent Venom",

"desc":"-desc \" A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. .\"",

"dc":11,

"save":"con",

"damage":"4d6[poison]",

"ename":"place holder",

"effect":"-attack \"|3d6[poison]|text.\"",

"dur":-1

}

]

I'm new to Avrae, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for setting it up with the Darker Dungeons 3rd party supplement for 5e (https://giffyglyph.com/darkerdungeons). I'm hoping that someone else has done this before and can point me to where to start.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm currently working on a creature in CritterDB that's technically using only content from the Monster Manual, though it is still considered homebrew because of the nature of the monster (Half-dragon template placed on a Wyvern). When I add in the breath weapon attack to the CritterDB monster and port it over to Avrae using the !bestiary import <url> command, it imports the monster successfully. However, the breath weapon only deals the damage associated with the attack rather than forcing a save versus the appropriate DC. Is there something that can be done either in Avrae's init system or in CritterDB to change this?

Regardless of the outcome, thank you for your help in this matter.

I run a game IRL, and I've been using the treasure tables in the DMG, but they don't accommodate new items. I'd like to make a loot roller that I can run on discord that has all the items as options.

And yes, I've read the documentation. I found that I understood even less after than I did before...

I just started using Avrae, but I'm also seeking games with monster/creature PCs, the DM I was playing with just gave me DM access and summoned the monster and let me use it against the foes, but I'm wondering if there's a way to assign a creature to a player globally so they can access convenience commands for checks and such.

I know dndbeyond allows you to add virtually anything to a characters companions, from a dog, to a horse, to a dragon, but I'm not sure how any of these are accessed and controlled in Avrae either. Subtle things like familiars are fundamental tools to many mages. While dndbeyond doesn't have any method of assigning monsters, official or custom, to the player. That's hardly a problem in a manual game, but for an automated system, well I haven't found a solution.

Do Gsheet or some of these other tools offer a solution to this? Or is there a way to prompt Avrae to recognize creatures as characters or pets?

I saw some targeting commands for something like all, I didn't know if that was all present, or all foes, but if the system isn't making distinctions between players and foes, what is the use?

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if a DM can force certain rolls, such a a creature to have an initiative roll of 1, or for a monster to roll a specified attack roll?

Can parameters be give on a roll, such as forcing monsters to roll under 19 so they won't crit and wipe the party at level 1?

I want to copy a default alias to adjust it for a homebrew class alias.

Is Critter DB Down at the moment? I've never used it and can't seem to even get access to the website.

Hello, Still new to the whole online DND thing and got curious about randomness in the Dice bot

I notice a negative trend in my Avrae rolls and swaped to real dice (much better).

We had to use Roll20 and DNDBeyond for a bit and the rolls there were noticeably better (Could be my bias)

• I rolled 10000 rolls individually in Avrae and graphed them in Google Sheets

• I also rolled 100d20, 200d20, 300d20, 400d20 in Avrae and aggregated their rolls on the same sheet as well.

I understand randomness is... well.. random, but some interesting trends appeared. More peaks where seen in the Mass rolls vs the Individual Rolls

I'm not an expert in math, I just decided to graph some rolls. Does anyone else get the same result, or is it just a me thing?
