Statuses, Conditions and Spell Effects

Hello,

I've been using D20Pro for about a year now to run a Pathfinder AP and generally like the product more and more as I figure things out. One thing that is puzzling me though, are statuses, conditions, and the like.


For instance, I can select a token, hit U, and select "Sickened." In game, under Pathfinder rules, this should result in: "An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell."

However, I don't see any actual mechanical changes within d20Pro - attack rolls are not given a -2 penalty, and Dexterity is not reduced by 4. The only thing I can see is that there is a little marker to remind me that he is entangled, but there's no way of setting a duration for these status icons, as far as I can tell?

Do I therefore need to create a new "Active Effect," and apply it to that creature to indicate that he is Entangled?
To do that, I select Active Effects, create new, and I see now that I am able to save and load certain effects. Is this the best way to apply statuses?

To follow up on that, what is the best way to handle poison? I can create an ongoing condition, but I don't see a way of rolling ability damage. If a poison does 1d4 dex damage, is there a way of automating that, or do I need to create a whole bunch of different conditions, for -1 dex damage, -2 dex damage, -3 dex, and -4? And then every round apply the appropriate effect? This seems like it would rapidly fill up my dropdown of statuses/effects to select.

Thoughts?

 

As a followup question, what are some of the best ways to implement the following effects:

Haste gives +1 to attack rolls, +1 dodge to AC, and an extra attack at the highest BAB. Is there a way of quickly applying a status like this, or do I need to build all my creatures with extra stated attacks like "+1 Longsword, w/ Haste."

Similarly, with things like Rapid Shot, which allow two attacks at the same (but reduced) attack roll. Do I need to build those attacks into the Attack Stats seperately as well?
