Auto-Add an Archetype

SeeleyOne · July 17th, 2014, 12:40 PM

Is there a way to make an archetype always be added to a particular class? For example, if you are in a world where Witches always use Wisdom instead of INT for their spells it would require an archetype. Likewise, if Fighters are to get good Reflex saves as well.

I'd skip the archetype and create a mechanic with scripts that apply those changes.

That was my preferred method, but I could not quite get the syntax right. I cannot quite figure out how to change it on the class.

For the Fighter I have this:

Code:

if (#levelcount[Fighter] > 0) then
    #makeclassskill[skPercep]
    ~perform hero.child.Classes[Fighter].assign[cRef.Good]
endif

I put the ~ there because the class skill being Perception works, but I could not figure out the classes part. I tried a few different variations, that is where it stayed as a "note form".

Should I maybe be accessing it through the cHelpFtr instead? The class info is made as a helper. Either way for now I am stumped.

Yes, the saves are determined by the class helper so

perform hero.childfound[cHelpFtr].tagreplace[cRef.?,cRef.Good]

Awesome, it works. Thanks!

Glad to help

Archetypes use SplAttr and MaxSplAttr to determine their spellcaster attribute. Do you know what term the original class uses?

Nevermind, I just looked at the Empyreal sorcerer bloodline.

Evil wins because good rolls poorly .... or the players are not paying enough attention to the game.
