automated-jb2a-animations VS dae

Honestly, I've never seen an issue like that. If nobody here can help, you could take your question either to the JB2A Discord, where Automated Animations has a specific section that Otigon runs, or the AA Github.

This can definitely be done with Sequencer but it isn't necessarily going to be the easiest thing in the world. Automated Animations might also help, but I haven't used it in a while.

automated-jb2a-animations - At its core, Automated Animations is centered around the use of "instant" effects such as Weapon Attacks and Spell Effects. There are some areas that branch off from this concept and will be explained in the Wiki.

Examples here.

For visual effects only, I use JB2A Animations and then link to the attacks using Automated Animations which then play various animations when the actions are triggered. You have to change the animation selected if the item changes (from "sword" to "flaming sword" for example) but that shouldn't happen a lot

Automated Animations

Hey, the Automated Animations module from Otigon has now an automatic recognition menu in its settings where you can set a spell effect or attack animation linked to its name. A-A automatic recognition example video In the video, I add an entry called Talon so any item with the name Talon will pick up this animation (except if I create another one specifically called Talon Strike for example) On the Automated Animations Github, there is some very good information about it including a great wiki Otigon is very active on our JB2A Discord and our community can help answering questions you may have. :)

By using the Dynamic Active Effects and Active Token Effects modules, you can achieve this (pictures).

DAE - This module modifies how active effects behave over and above what is supported in core. An active effect allows you to modify values on an actor (e.g. Strength). You can create effects directly on an actor or create them on an item and have them transfer to the actor when the item is added to the actor.

This definitely looks like a bug to me. I'd open an issue for it over on Tim's Gitlab for DAE

Dynamic Active Effects

These modules are almost entirely redundant in a game that uses tposney's Midi QOL and DAE. The top of the line module lineup for automating combat in dnd5e is absolutely dependent on these two. They are extremely powerful, versatile, and complex. I've used them in the past and would recommend them in a heartbeat for GMs who are interested in going down the rabbit hole of high-automation 5e games.

Bless can be added using Dynamic Active Effects and should be auto-configured within Dynamic Effects SRD (I believe there are also macros for this in FVTT Community Macros as well which allow you to toggle bless on/off)

Further to my previous comment, looking at the DAE documentation:
