I tried both final lines you suggested, but nothing changed.

I do appreciate your help by-the-way

Yes, thanks Mergon, I was away most of today.

I see from your test case that you have a 10th level character and you want to add 2 levels and this is your if statement right?

Quote:

~ Checking for Grappler or Tavern Brawler feats
if (#hasability[fGrappler] <> 0) then
act_level += 1
elseif (#hasability[ft5CTaverB] <> 0) then
act_level += 1
endif

This won't work to add 2 levels as if you have grappler, it will add 1 and then drop out and never check for tavern brawler.

Here's how I figure it might work. You need to figure out the act_level First, then send it through your if statements that look at the act_level, not the original field level passed in:

Code:

~ If we're not shown, just get out now

doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)



~ If we're disabled, do nothing

doneif (tagis[Helper.Disable] <> 0)



~ first we have to establish our benchmark, based on our level

~ all comparisons are made assuming that the wielder is medium, 

~ because

~ that is what wMain tags assume. Damage dice are then adjusted up 



~ or down

~ appropriately based on size.



~ There are two feats that can increase the level upward. 



var act_level as number



act_level = field[xAllLev].value



~ Checking for Grappler or Tavern Brawler feats

if (#hasability[fGrappler] <> 0) then

act_level += 1

endif



if (#hasability[ft5CTaverB] <> 0) then

act_level += 1

endif



if (act_level >= 23) then

~ Medium folks get 1d12 at this level. Avg = 6.5

field[wDieCount].value = 1

field[wDieSize].value = 12

field[abValue].value += 6.5

elseif (act_level >= 18) then

~ Medium folks get 1d10 at this level. Avg = 5.5

field[wDieCount].value = 1

field[wDieSize].value = 10

field[abValue].value += 5.5

elseif (act_level >= 12) then

~ Medium folks get 1d8 at this level. Avg = 4.5

field[wDieCount].value = 1

field[wDieSize].value = 8

field[abValue].value += 4.5

elseif (act_level >= 6) then

~ Medium folks get 1d6 at this level. Avg = 3.5

field[wDieCount].value = 1

field[wDieSize].value = 6

field[abValue].value += 3.5

elseif (act_level >= 3) then

~ Medium folks get 1d4 at this level. Avg = 2.5

field[wDieCount].value = 1

field[wDieSize].value = 4

field[abValue].value += 2.5

else

~ Medium folks get 1d1 at this level. Avg = 1

field[wDieCount].value = 1

field[wDieSize].value = 1

field[abValue].value += 1

endif



var v_text as string



call wMainText



field[abText].text = v_text

Thank you. I will try this out once I get home.

I had copied and pasted what you had suggested and it wasn't working. After looking over the script I changed one thing in two spots and it is now working.

I changed this

Code:

~ Checking for Grappler or Tavern Brawler feats

if (#hasability[fGrappler] <> 0) then

act_level += 1

endif



if (#hasability[ft5CTaverB] <> 0) then

act_level += 1

endif

To this

Code:

~ Checking for Grappler or Tavern Brawler feats

if (#hasability[fGrappler] = 0) then

act_level += 1

endif



if (#hasability[ft5CTaverB] = 0) then

act_level += 1

endif

Neither of those worked properly as they would +1 even when not present. However, using #hasfeat fixed the problem!

Thanks so much for all the help so far. I do have one more question. The Pugilist information states:

"Whenever you make an unarmed strike with nothing in either your main hand or off-hand, your unarmed strike’s damage die increases by one step (from 1d4 to 1d6, 1d6 to 1d8, and so on)."

Any ideas on how I do this?

I tested this in the script and it worked, but I know the level progression may not make it accurate at the lower levels. Any thoughts?

Code:

if (tagis[IsWeapon.wUnarmed] = 0) then

act_level += 6

endif

Okay, I figured out the level progression, it works perfectly.

Code:

if (tagis[IsWeapon.wUnarmed] = 0) then

 if (act_level >= 18) then

 act_level += 6

 elseif (act_level >= 11) then

 act_level += 6

 elseif (act_level >= 6) then

 act_level += 6

 elseif (act_level >= 3) then

 act_level += 3

 else

 act_level += 2

 endif

endif

Okay, just realized that using = 0 for the Grappler or Tavern Brawler feats check turns it on even if you do not have the feat, but <> 0 turns it off even if you have the feat.

using #hasfeat fixed the problem!

the only other thing I need is to fix Fisticuffs. Its supposed to add 2 to unarmed damage.

I found something that worked. I used a variant of one i found on another page.

Code:

hero.child[wUnarmed].field[Bonus].value += 2
