I had to apply it to the secondary table as well to test it, but yes it works.

Right now, this is all over my head, but it will likely be very useful to me soon.
Thank you both for "thinking out loud" on this forum. |

You're welcome. I don't consider it thinking out loud honestly. When I need help with something I just ask. I've always asked my teachers a lot of questions, my physics professors knew when I was studying because of the number of questions I had in class ready to go when class started. It's just part of the learning process for me.

I had been struggling with creating a game system for a while - I was using the Savage World example, but just couldn't make the jump to a d20 based system, it was just too different I guess.
But I just recently bought the AuthKit. The addition of the 4E source files really opened up my eyes to how HL processes data. I really wish the d20 ruleset was available - but I understand why it isn't - since the system I'm trying to input is based loosely upon d20. So I'm mostly flying blind on modifying the 4E rules to fit what I need. I just don't want to design myself into a proverbial corner by doing something wrong in the beginning, only to realize it after it's too late. |

I spend a lot of time just tinkering with Hero Lab's coding under the hood. For me, testing how something works and playing around with the code is a learning process for me. Much of what I've learned in 2e's coding will enable me to go further in Deathwatch and even simplify a few things when I go back to it (Agent linkages are a blessing, but having learned how forms work without gizmos is a major help as well). I toy around with the code a lot just to figure things out. I ask for help when I run into an issue I can't figure out. That's when I start barraging Mathias for help. (Sometimes it's literally an orbital bombardment of questions, and I appreciate the assistance and teaching he gives me.)
