Special Cases & Tips

Spell Exclusions: Add spell names to the exclusion list (comma-separated) to skip validation while keeping animations. Example: Protector, Heal Wound, Fireball

Manual AA Control: If automatic spell enhancement causes issues, use the "Disable AA Support" button in settings, then re-enable when ready.

Template Spells: Template spells (Engulfing Forest, Frost, Gust of Wind) currently auto-target the caster for visual effects. Proper area targeting will be added in a future version.

Parrying Ranged Attacks with a Weapon or Shield: Target yourself when parrying a ranged attack with a weapon or shield. The range validation will understand you're defending at your position.

Marking Weapons Broken: The "Mark Weapon Broken" button only appears on parry rules when:

Shove Conditions: Shove reminders only appear when:

Monster Action Prevention: Prevention dialogs only appear for Parry and Disarm attempts against monsters. All other actions proceed normally.

Token Action HUD + YZE Integration: If using the Token Action HUD Dragonbane module, consider adding YZE Action ExclusionsYZE Action Inclusions - Abilities, and Excluded Spells for better action tracking accuracy.

Known Issues

Template Spell Area Targeting: Template spells currently auto-target the caster for visual effects rather than placing templates for area targeting. This is intentional for v2.0 - proper template placement will be added in v2.1.
