Conteplative

[heinrich_krebs]

Hi,

I try to build the conteplative from 3.5 Complete Divine in my Hero Labs for Pathfinder...

I have managed to allow for new domains to be chosen and there are errors if I try to choose a domain already chosen in the cleric tab (or a subdomain or parent domain of a already chosen domain).

But the domain spells of the bonus domains do not appear in the list to memorize domain spells.

Why is that?
How would I change the contemplative that it's level is added to the clerics domain powers, but not to his channel energy ability ?

Can you provide what you are trying to do instead of what you tried. Also a copy of the ability text would help as not everyone remembers 3.5 stuff.

I'll go into more detail.

The Prestige Class in question allows to choose an additional domain at 1st and 6th level. These new domains should grant a power and their spells should be valid options for the prepared domain spell.

So, what I used is "Custom Abilities". I set the Name to "Bonus Domain" stated that is was given at 1st and 6th level and selected "Cleric" in the "Allow Custom Abilities..." entry.

Now I can select domains and the domain powers are granted as expected. That's sweet.

But when I switch to the "Cleric" tab to select what spells are prepared normally and what are prepared as domain spells the spells from the bonus domains don't show up.

So, it seems I have to

1. Add the spells from the bonus domains from the prestige class to be selectable in the cleric class
2. Add domain spells functionality, if the base class didn't have any before.

Problem is, I don't know how.
Hope this is clearer...

What if you create an ability on the PrC that lets you select which base class you want to modify and increase the domains added on that class. Then the domain spells will be available in the Cleric's spells, otherwise you'd need to push the spells over to the class using the tag that identifies them as secondary spells (I think it's used on the Shaman Spirits).

Adding the domains to the cleric seems easy, but for a cleric 8 / contemplative 7 character the domain powers should be calculated with 8 and 7 levels respectively.

I'll look out for the shaman spirits and check if there is script code I can salvage.

[AndrewD2]

Hmm, never thought about the granted powers, since 3.5 didn't have powers that were level based it didn't really make a difference. Personally I would stack Contemplative levels with the selected class for determining the level of all the domain powers.

[heinrich_krebs]

I thought the same thing. But how would I make it happen in Hero Labs ?

EDIT:
I mean that only domain powers are affected but not channel energy.

Well start with adding the Domains to the appropriate class then Foreach through each each ability that has a domain as the source add #levelcount[Contemplative] to the field[xExtraLev] around pre-levels 5000

FYI but AnderwD2 did a post with script example HERE of a foreach and extra levels. That is worth taking a look at.

[heinrich_krebs]

So, now coming back to work on these again...

I have written something like this:

~check for cleric, contemplative levels, and check for celestial obedience active
doneif (#levelcount[Cleric] = 0)
doneif (#levelcount[Contemplative] = 0)

~loop through domains gained by cleric and add contemplative level to xExtraLev
foreach pick in hero from Ability where "SpecSource.cHelpClr"
   eachpick.field[xExtraLev].value += #levelcount[Contemplative]
nexteach

~loop through domains gained by contemplative and add cleric level to xExtraLev
foreach pick in hero from Ability where "SpecSource.cHelpCtP"
   eachpick.field[xExtraLev].value += #levelcount[Cleric]
nexteach

I figured the first paragraph is to abort the script if there aren't Contemplative or Cleric levels. That's fine by me.

But now I have problems with the loop. I want only Domains to get the level boost. Can I somehow only choose these Abilities?
