Racial Weapon Bonus

[cignus7]

I am creating a custom class that has claws. They have very sharp claws, so i want to give them a racial bonus of +1 on all claw attacks..

is this possible?

See if this works (untested):

~ Add a +1 racial bonus to Claw attacks
#applybonus[Bonus, hero.childfound[wClaw], 1]

Sweet thanks bro!

it adds +1 to attack AND damage tho...but i can live with that unless you know of a way to just give +1 on all attacks

[huntercc]

How about this one instead:

~ Add a +1 racial bonus to Claw attacks
hero.childfound[wClaw].field[wAttBonus].value += 1

[cignus7]

that worked GREAT!

Is there a list of arguments/names anywhere?

One last thing on the racial claws...how do i indicate 2 claw attacks?

1) In the editor, click "help" on the menu at the top and you'll get a page of help topics. If you scroll to the bottom, I think the 4 topics listed there will be the most useful ones for you.

2) As far as I know, you can't specify 2 claw attacks

An easy way to check what's available (example for weapons) is to create a new item, using the copy button - then, look through the list of what's there, and write down wClaw.

The other way was added only a few versions ago - in bootstraps, click the "Choose" button, or in scripts, click the "Find Thing" button - those lead to lists of what's available.

The offhand tag is for double weapons - for example, the double-bladed
sword, and so on. Currently there's no good way to represent 2 claw
attacks - I'll need to get that added to the data files. Representing 2
claws as a double weapon wouldn't work so well, because then you'd be
getting the double weapon penalties for attacking with your off-hand...

If you're adding a way to represent 2 claw attacks, you may want to allow it to represent X number of claw attacks... for example, Thri-kreen get 4 claw attacks!
