[Feature Request]Add OnHit Effects for Enchantments #3819

Open XXDarrienX opened 3 months ago

XXDarrienX commented 3 months ago

Is it possible to expand the options for enchantments that they would have a Active Effect when hitting a target? An example is the Dagger of Venom in the SRD, it has a onhit effect and the target has to make a saving throw or get the poisoned condition. Granted this is a weapon not a spell casting on a weapon but the idea is the same

The system does not have any automation around on-hit effects currently. To achieve this within the current framework you would supply a rider effect to the enchantment with transfer: false. When the enchanted weapon is subsequently used, the effect will then be available in the effect tray to be applied to any target that failed its saving throw.
