Tags for racial bonuses
So, between the section in the wiki on Editor support and the examples in the 4E project, I get the impression that the best way to set up a racial bonus for skills is to set up tags. What's the best way to handle this and allow for a larger range of values? In 4E, it's a straight +2, but for the game I'm working on, the bonuses range from +1 to +3.
Should I have three different forms of SkillBonus, say SkillBonus1, SkillBonus2, and SkillBonus3? Is there a better way to set this up to allow users to readily modify which bonuses get applied, and for me to extract that data so that they don't have to keep the Description in lockstep? |
You'll need to give me more information about the game rules you're implementing.
If you've got arbitrary bonus amounts, then I'd just use a script. Tags may be better for some things, but when you're multiplying the tag count by such large numbers, if you need +1 through +3 for every skill, that's no longer a practical option. |
It's the Planet Mercenary game. Each of the races gets a handful of bonuses to their skill ranks (except humans, as usual). I do currently have it in an Eval script. I'll keep it that way then.

Have you tried setting up candidate expressions for the skill bonuses? You can have a <thing> on a race tab through a table dynamic that adds the bonuses through user choices. Then you can rig hero lab to "freeze" those selectors out when you switch to Advancement mode locking down the character's choices... |
That would be extremely useful when I refine the Command Packages, where there are those either-or choices. Do you have a suggestion for how to go about it? Would that be a gizmo?

This is the portal, if you need to use two of them, just change the 1s to 2s and add the second portal. Then in the positioning script you rig them up where you want them. Code:
