Moving this discussion out of the Community Pack thread.

This gives a Competence Bonus to the field BonComp which only exists on a Class Ability because all Weapon Fields where added to them. So you are trying to affect the "Weapon" stats for a Class Ability with the above script. :(

If we look at the scripts on Thingid.cPUAltDef2 we see:
I don't see the field BonComp being referenced at all. I only see "abValue" being referenced in the above fields.

Change your script to run at Post-Level/10000:

I would recommend starting by looking at the script on the devastating touch class ability:

We see the "damage" is being built from a combo of abValue & d6 + xTotalLev.

So you just need to adjust the value of abValue before Final/10000 to increase the number of "dice".

Thanks for this. It is working...mostly.

It's working on 2 of 3 items. The name of the Altered Defense, Deflect doesn't seem to be picking up the value from the base Altered Defense base ability that is being picked up by the other two.

see attachment.

I'm not sure I clearly described the change. As an example, a 10th level dread with this particular mythic ability will change his normal damage of 1d6 + 10 (1d6 + 1/Dread Level) to 10d6 (1d6 per Dread Level).

From the code it seems that field[livename].text field is the thing that needs to be overwritten as the abValue.value has some text appended to it.

Or am I reading things wrong.

Remember we have "full" control over our stuff. You don't need to think about forcing stuff like you would if it was from LW. Instead work with changing the scripts to accommodate this type of change.

In this case I would create a new Tag Group for Dread and then have a new tag that says calc by "Dice Bonus". Maybe like "Dread.DevByDice" or something like that.

Then the current script just have an "IF" statement that looks for the new tag:

What is also nice about this is its all documented with logic in "ONE" place. And it will be easy to find the "Mythic" ability that assigns the new tag Dread.DevByDice by a simple search of the .user files. :)

Ok, I found where the weird text values was coming from on the altered defense, deflection livename. I commented out the livename assignment on the base altered defense ability. That corrected things.

I'll push that change to GitHub.

I decided to not modify the Dread's original ability's text and just put the proper damage in the mythic ability instead.

I went a different way and instead of using abValue to represent the abilities "number" I changed the script to use xCount instead. This way it reads "Altered Defense 1" at level 1, "Altered Defense 2" at level 5, etc. This way we match the book and it does not increase/change when you add to abValue anymore.

Its just a mess up I think in the base HL UI actually. The livename is correctly showing +4.

I changed the way this is displayed for all three abilities and that should correct this issue.

I can't tell from this comment which of the following is true:

1) Does this mean you are just having the 'Mythic Ability' show the the number of dice?

2) Do you mean your mythic ability is over writing the Livename on the Dreads Class Ability?

I pretty much provided the whole enhanced code to the issue in post #5. I am I missing something on how it does not correctly solve the issue and nicely document the change also. :confused: :confused:

Thank you for attempting to add the Mythic Psionics.

One of my players loves psionics, but didn't like that there wasn't a mythic version when there was for Arcane and Divine casting.

Our group has added the Mythic Hero's Handbook (Legendary Games), which we'll use in our next stint at Mythic.
They use the Mythic Psionics, and we were disappointed that the HL package for Mythic Hero's Handbook chose to omit the psionic portion.

This is awesome that it is being worked on.
Thank you.

Question:

There are several mythic abilities that deal with psionic focus that makes the focus test positive when tested for certain abilities even if it is expended.

I'd like to implement a new tag called "Hero.isPsiFocused". Which would count as being psionically focused without interfering with the psionic focus tags.

Can you modify whatever psionic focus test procedure you made to do this test?

Naturally, my implementation is encountering some issues -- here's my code --

Error: The data files could not be loaded due to errors. Hero Lab will now attempt to load them in recovery mode. Once loaded, you can access the editor as normal to correct any errors.

The following errors occurred:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'fmyDeepFoc' (Eval Script '#1') on line 14
-> Invalid syntax for tag template

I presume that I need to create the Hero tag ahead of time -- I'm not positive on how to do this. --

Edit: I found that the name for the hero tag was too long -- I changed to Hero.isPsiFocus, and it compiled successfully. Compiled, but not working -- when I tried to add the tag in the tags menu, it erred on something like dynamic tag not found:

Timing issue?
