Not understanding racial skill bonuses

Lizard · December 22nd, 2007, 09:16 PM

I am trying to create a template which grants a +4 to Hide skill. I looked at the various racial skill bonuses to see how this is done, but they seem to have no code associated with them. What am I missing?

In the eval scripts, based on what I can see from other templates and from the help in the editor, here is what you can do:

Create a new eval script and use the phase UserPreLv.
Then set the priority to 10000 and the index to 1.
Then type: #skillbonus[kHide] += 4.

That should be it.

Normally these scripts are on the race itself, rather than the special ability, if that helps you find an example.

You are correct that its normally a race that gives the bonus to hide. However, since in the post Lizard mentions creating a template led me to the answer I gave. Also I looked at templates that are currently offered by HL and there is a template that does offer bonuses such as this: Vampire. I just looked at that and basically copied the info from there.
