Oops - that's a bug. I'll get that fixed for the next update.

Has this been fixed in 1.3? I was juct going through my old class and I noticed the pre-requisite messages are still not showing. The reason I stumbled upon this is because I am trying to code an ability called Magic of Hunger. It allows a wizard to memorize one extra spell of any level they can cast, but on any day they do so they take 1 point of temporary Con damage.

What I was thinking of doind, although I am not sure it is possible, is set up some sort of script in the custom ability that says "ignore the first validation error coming from the selection of too many spells on the wizard panel." and then "If the validation error is being ignored, apply -1 temporary damage to Con". Is there any way to script the ignoring of a validation error from a specific source? if not, how do you suggest I impletment the ability?
