[PF Roll20 character sheet] Issue with a buff

1590474721

Edited 1590477769
Hello ! First of all, be kind to my English, I'm French... I'm testing the buffs. I did a "Shrink" one : But if tou compare my unbuff AC and my buffed AC, there's an issue, my "+2 to dexterity_bonus" is treated likle a "-2 to dexterity_bonus" in the AC calculation : Unbuffed : Buffed : What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help ! Edit : If someone knows how to not cumulate AC bonuses I'd be glad to know. I mean 2 buffs of +2 natural armor should give just a +2 Nat Armor and not a +4 Nat armor...

One thing to keep in mind is that you can tell it what type of bonus you are applying.&nbsp; If you do that, it should avoid stacking things that don't stack.&nbsp; For instance, this is what I use for enlarge person: +2 size to strength -2 size to dexterity -1 size to attack -1 size to AC Since I have "size" in there, it knows what type of bonus/penalty is being applied.&nbsp; If I don't have anything like that right after the number, then the sheet won't know what type of bonus it is and will stack it with everything as an untyped bonus.&nbsp; Hopefully, if you get all the types in there, it will do stacking correctly.&nbsp; Obviously, reduce person would use the same thing, just switching the + and - at the beginning of each line.I'm not sure if having the _bonus on the end of the attribute names messes with anything or not.&nbsp; It shouldn't, but you might try just the simple names I am using.&nbsp; I just tested a Reduce Person buff on a character and it added 2 to AC and Touch AC (1 from the +1 AC, and one from the bonus dexterity) and the flatfooted AC went up by 1 as it should.&nbsp; The buff I used was this: -2 size to strength +2 size to dexterity +1 size to attack +1 size to AC As far as natural armor goes, hopefully getting the correct bonus types in will keep it from stacking, but I haven't played a character with anything beyond an amulet of natural armor for that type of armor bonus.&nbsp; It is possible that there are issues with that particular buff type. If you haven't looked at the wiki already, the list of buffable stats and some examples of how to write them can be found here:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Official#Buffable_Stats" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Official#Buffable_Stats</a>
Thank you for your answer. I tried your buff but i've got the same result than with mine. I did test it on two different games to see if was due to the sheet or a bad config of the stats, but i've got the same result : the +2 DEX is applied to the ability but it minors the DEX bonus to AC... I started configurating my buffs with the Wiki.&nbsp;

Just out of curiosity, have you tried setting your language to english to see if it behaves differently?&nbsp; Maybe there is something interfering with the translation.&nbsp; If having it in english makes it work correctly, then that gives something definite to point to when submitting a bug report.
Ok,&nbsp; i've got the solution : +2 size to dexterity +1 size to attack +2 size to AC +1 dex to ac
I've just tried with an english setting. It's the same result. In my working buff the +2 size to ac is because the +1 beeing yet a halfling doesn't stack. So you have to put +2 (very small). And, to have the DEX bonus you have to type it... I guess. Thank's again for your help !

Gas G. said: In my working buff the +2 size to ac is because the +1 beeing yet a halfling doesn't stack. I didn't even think about that.&nbsp; I was testing on a medium sized character (half-orc), so didn't already have any size bonuses/penalties that might conflict.
