Lone Wolf Development Forums - Modifying the skeleton template

Here is the 1st script in the skeleton template (click the Eval Scripts button within the template to find these):

Code:

      ~ We aren't allowed any skills or feats

      perform hero.assign[Hero.NoSkills]

      perform hero.assign[Hero.NoFeats]



      ~ Many races and classes bootstrap feats, so go through them disabling

      ~ them all - except Improved Initiative and Simple Weapon Proficiency!

      foreach pick in hero where "component.BaseFeat & !thingid.fImpInit & !thingid.fWepSimple"

        perform each.assign[Helper.FtDisable]

        nexteach



      ~ Disable all special abilities apart from the ones that we bootstrap

      foreach pick in hero where "component.BaseSpec & !component.BaseFeat & !thingid.xDamRdB & !thingid.xImmCold & !thingid.rDarkVis"

        perform each.assign[Helper.FtDisable]

        nexteach



      ~ Go over all weapons, deleting stuff like weapon focus and

      ~ improved natural attack from them - these tags are often just

      ~ bootstrapped directly onto the weapon

      foreach pick in hero where "component.BaseWep"

        perform each.delete[Broadcast.?]

        nexteach

and the 2nd:

Code:

      var result as number



      ~ bonus to natural armor based on size

      var bonus as number

      if (hero.tagis[Size.Small] <> 0) then

        bonus = 1

      elseif (hero.tagis[Size.Medium] + hero.tagis[Size.Large] <> 0) then

        bonus = 2

      elseif (hero.tagis[Size.Huge] <> 0) then

        bonus = 3

      elseif (hero.tagis[Size.Gargantuan] <> 0) then

        bonus = 6

      elseif (hero.tagis[Size.Colossal] <> 0) then

        bonus = 10

        endif

      hero.child[mNatural].field[Bonus].value = bonus



      ~ We don't have INT or CON scores

      result = hero.child[aCON].assign[Helper.NoScore]

      result = hero.child[aINT].assign[Helper.NoScore]



      ~ Force our Wisdom to 10 and our Charisma to 1

      hero.child[aWIS].field[aNormForce].value = 10

      hero.child[aCHA].field[aNormForce].value = 1



      ~ Set up our damage reduction

      var damage as number

      #applydr[xDamRdB, 5]



      ~ Get the number of HD and use it to calculate our base attack bonus

      ~ and saves

      var hd as number

      hd = maximum(1, hero.tagcount[Hero.HitDice])

      hero.child[Attack].field[tAtkBase].value = round(hd / 2, 0, -1)

      hero.child[vFort].field[vBase].value = round(hd / 3, 0, -1)

      hero.child[vRef].field[vBase].value = round(hd / 3, 0, -1)

      hero.child[vWill].field[vBase].value = round(hd / 2, 0, -1) + 2



      ~ Use the number of HD to calculate CR

      var cr as number

      if (hd <= 1) then

        cr = -1

      elseif (hd <= 3) then

        cr = 1

      elseif (hd <= 5) then

        cr = 2

      elseif (hd <= 7) then

        cr = 3

      elseif (hd <= 9) then

        cr = 4

      elseif (hd <= 11) then

        cr = 5

      elseif (hd <= 14) then

        cr = 6

      elseif (hd <= 17) then

        cr = 7

      else

        cr = 9

        endif

      hero.child[Totals].field[tCR].value = cr

What you want to do is go through each of the scripts. Look at the comments (starting with ~), and that will tell you what the code after that does. For example, the CHA = 1 line is about halfway through the second script, so just find that line and delete it (or, for safety, so you don't delete something you didn't realize was essential, put a ~ at the beginning of the line of code to comment it out - that way you only have to delete the comment if you make a mistake).

P.S. Iron Wind metals may still sell Ral Partha's Grateful Undead miniatures from the 80's, if you wanted figures for your game.
