Exp Reqs

[GLBIV]

Yo,

I'm making the Other Regions for Forgotten Realms, and I've having trouble making the proper Exp Req

My goal here is to make an Exp Req which would make this unavailable if the character has a standard race tag.

I know how to make a exp req for having a tag, like "hero.tagis[Race.Elf] <> 0" but how can I make it say hero.tagis is NOT elf?

[GLBIV]

Sorry, that was nearly unintelligible.

I'm making inherited templates which will not be available to any standard race (dwarf, elf, halfling, half-elf, half-orc or human).

How can I write an Exp Req that will look for those tags and disallow the template if one is present?

You're trying to disallow the Race.Elf tag from something? You may want to verify if this is something disallowed to half-elves as well, and instead of using the race tag, use the subtype tag for Elf.

The expr-req you are setting up is saying if this tag is present, we're valid. The <> 0 part reads "Is non-zero". hero.tagis[] is searching for the tag in question and if that tag is not on the hero, it returns a value of 0. (like the off position in a switch in an electrical circuit). If you want the expr-req to be valid for cases where the tag is 0 (i.e. the hero doesn't have the tag on it), switch it to

 hero.tagis[whatever.Elf] = 0

This will make the expr-req search for the tag and provide an invalid choice if the Elf tag you are seeking is present.

perfect, thanks

Are you doing the core rulebook for FR or the 3.5 updated Regions?

I'm making a compiled 3.5 update file for FR in d20. So really, it's info from Races of Faerun, FRCS and PGtF. I've retro fitted mounds of the PF stuff that you've done, but my goal is to have a file with all the races, languages, PGtF regions and regional feats by April 25 for the 1.9 community update.
