I am new here. I'm a disabled housewife that runs a lot of homebrew games in my spare time. I found this program and am trying to use it so I can expand my player base by consolidating my house rules and stuff I allow into one character editor for ease of access and sharing.
So I'm trying to homebrew my own system based on 4e and pathfinder/3e unearthed arcana. Its a system I use for all the games I run IRL. Right now I'm having three big issues. 1) Trying to figure out how to make skills with check boxes and a flat value the way 4e does it. 2) I also use an array system for stats and I have no clue how to set that up either. Players get a random array to work with out of a balanced set I came up with over the years. Though I sometimes let them pick. 3) I need to create a casting system similar to 3e's sorcerers. Any tips for any of those would be helpful. I'm going back to futzing with it myself until then. Last edited by VampireYuriGirl; December 21st, 2012 at 07:58 AM.

Well I'm not sure how much experience you have in xml, I'm still learning as I go, but you may want to look through the 4e skeletal data within hero lab's skill set to see how it works for doing what you are suggesting with the skills.
I'm not sure but I think there is a way to put an array in for character creation purposes in the editor. Tools Menu >> Launch Editor create a new datafile and see what you can do with it. As for the casting system I don't know what you are referring to specifically, as I did not think there was much of a difference between 3.0 Sorcerers and 3.5 aside from tweaks and name changes made to spells. If its a spells / day deal, you might be able to fix that by going into the editor and making a copy of the existing sorcerer and just changing how many spells per day the sorcerer gets, or removing class features you don't want. You can then use the preclude tab to hide the actual pathfinder sorcerer class and just have your custom copy show up. |

I will definitely preface this by saying I am still learning as I go, and my advice here is just that, advice. With that being said.

You can also check out the RuneQuest thread, because my problem with Cultures may be similar to spell levels for filtering out spell choices. Hope that helps, Kev |
