[DMgenie] Weapons of Legacy and other scripting

[Julius L Watts/AC/VCU]

One of my players has begun the work of creating a Weapon of Legacy.
These are a pair of Tiger Shields that his monk uses as exotic monk
weapons. These now provide conditional AC bonus (Deflection) to anyone
standing adjacent to him. Is it worthwhile to create a condition in
DMGenie or should I just manually adjust the dice rolls against the PCs
standing close to the monk?

Also, I have a Marshall who provides damage reduction to all of the PCs
within ear shot of him via a mantel. How do you folks recommend
proceeding with this mod? Should I copy the functionality of inspire
courage, only change the bonus to DR?

Thanks for your help.

If it’s a short duration event (a single round) its almost easier to
handle it manually such as the Tiger Shield you describe. If the event
will last for several rounds then the condition and condition setter are
excellent tools. It is almost always easier to find an existing,
similar condition then copy and edit it for your new condition.
