Yeah, but they are all pretty much adding a spell one at a time to the new class. Oh well.

I could have used something like that myself a couple of times for homebrewed classes.

If you are only adding spells from a single school, then the extend thing is a godsend. When I added the Artificer class to my stuff (not the Eberron sub-class from Unearthed Arcana) is had to copy every spell I wanted and it took hours. Iwth the Houri sub-class I just had to go though an use the Extend Thing for the Enchantment spells .

I am working on the Favored Soul sub-class from Unearthed Arcana and I am trying to find a way to do just that.

Yes. But need to double check for 5e. Be best to add this as an issue in GitHub and we can talk.

No if you modify the spell expression to include all spells via the School Tag its not one at at time. If you are adding all CLASS or or all School spells to a class you do this by changing the custom expression to include that class or school tag. You would not extend thing to every spell.

Shadow:

I was planning on making a post on GIT as it was. I just wanted to be able to post the Favored Soul at the same time.

I also need to ask for a Source, and possibly a Product Id if the community pack uses them, for Unearthed Arcana materials. I was surprised not to find it5 already in use.

Now you simple extend that tag onto the spell instead:

  <extthing thing="spCureMod2" group="sClass" tag="cHelpDrd"/>

The above code allows the Druid access to 2nd level Cure Moderate Wounds spell. No more making "copies" of spells to just allow a class access to them. [/QUOTE]

Does this work for feat qualifications? Say, there is a rogue specific feat (requires rogue class level 3) and I want a cryptic to access the feat at level 3 as well.

Is the syntax the same?

[Mergon]

As far as I can conceive, the Extend Thing won't remove pre-req checks. For something like that, at least in Pathfinder, there is a flag that would cause pre-req's to be ignored. I'd have to look it up and see if it workds the same way in 5e.

Guys all Extend Thing does is allow you to assign a Tag onto a Thing without requiring you to do a Replace Thing ID. If what you want to accomplish can't be done by setting a tag then Extend Thing won't help you.

My example of spells is the most often used place this feature will be helpful. For those 3PP class or custom classes the ability to set a new class tag onto a Spell is very helpful. The d20 community will be making heavy use of this feature preventing there need of duplicating every single SRD spell just so they can assign classes/levels to spells.

Last thing is if everything I just said made "zero" sense to you then I would simply ignore this feature for now. This is more of an advanced feature like using *Hidden, *Preclude or the *Procedure sections of the editor.

Thanks for trying things out, everyone! These new features are generally available in the HL7.6 release, which will be out shortly.
