BTW, thanks for the last bit there

Ah, this one is a bit trickier. To do this in d20 you will need to use a foreach loop. Normally, we try to avoid them, but sometimes they are necessary. In any case, this is how you would add +20 damage to a melee or thrown weapon. Note that I have no idea what the Paragon is or where its from so I'm not looking at the special you are referring to.

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "wCategory.Melee | wCategory.RangeThrow"
    eachpick.field[wDamBonus].value += 20
nexteach

Thanks mate, unfortunately I get a syntax error in that code when I go to use it, and since my coding xp is only now about 25, i don't know what I have done wrong, the error is;

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'xParaDMG' (Eval Script '#1') on line 1
-> Invalid syntax within 'foreach' statement

Sorry. "here" should be "hero". I have fixed it in the above code block.

Were you able to finish this template and if so would it be possible to get a copy? I've started trying to write it up myself but I'm beginning to think I should start with something simpler

Weapons have a field[wDamBonus].value that adds a bonus to weapon damage.

When you say "damage with melee/thrown" is that for a specific weapon, all weapons of a type, or just all weapons the character wields? This will affect the script used so the bonus is not added at the wrong time or to the wrong items.

[Dark_Soul]

Paragon is from the Epic Level Handbook, the bonus is a luck bonus, and it's applied to all melee and thrown weapon attacks.

That Paragon Creature template was added with the last release. It is contained with the Epic Level Handbook user file.
