How does LevPreReqs work?

[Lehmann]

I'm trying to make a class that counts as a barbarian for purposes of meet Rage Power prerequisites. The powers check using a function called "LevPreReqs". How does it work? How do I head-fake it into thinking the class is a barbarian?

Thanks,

Aaron

That procedure call simply checks the Classes.? tags that get put on the hero. It also in a few cases of archetypes allows the archetype to also count towards a base class. The Ranger one Wild Stalker will also count towards Barbarian levels.

Unfortunately while its a great thing for LW its useless for us as we can't change the procedure in anyway like LW can.

Its not perfect but you can assign "Classes.Barbarian" tags on the hero yourself at a late timing past the Level stuff (Final/1000). This way it won't get counted as actual levels. But Validation checks happen even later and will pick up the tags.

The issue is you can't setup "just" for rage powers. You will be considered to have Barbarian levels for everything.

Unless someone has a better way that's what I did for the Razor Coast data set for one of the PrC's...

That's just fine! I want the levels to stack for fullfilling reqs and for rage progression, actually, I just had the progression thing licked another way... What sorts of things will I be getting wrong now?

Thanks for being so helpful on the forums,
