Pathfinder Bug Reports - Version 4.25

[risner]

Issues:

1) Rosewood Armor (Adventures Armory) bootstraps a weapon "Armor Spikes (Rosewood)" but this weapon doesn't show up when the armor is worn in the weapon list.

2) Lucerne hammer (APG) has Reach, shows it has Reach in the ? pop up, but when printed it only says Brace. This might be a truncation problem.

3) Bellis Log Roller (Andoran, Spirit of Liberty) says "CMB when attempting to resist trip attacks" and I wonder if they meant CMD? If so, it doesn't apply the bonus to CMD vs Trip.

4) Missing "special" languages from Seeker of Secrets p25 (the whole book is PFS allowed.) Anyone (including Mathis) is welcome to use.

Though rarely as versatile as a naturally evolved sign language, these gestures can prove invaluable, and every Pathfinder picks up a handful during training, most relating to combat, directions, and hazards, often varying with the cohort of initiates to which a given Pathfinder belonged. Even when two Pathfinders’ signs differ significantly, certain gestures common to all who’ve studied in the Grand Lodge can go a long way toward establishing that an inquisitive stranger is in fact a fellow member of the Pathfinder Society.\n\nAppears in Seeker of Secrets p25" compset="Language" summary="Secret Pathfinder Society Gestures.">

5) Dawnflower/Sacred is pretty easily fixed by having Dawnflower look for a live Sacred Conduit, here is code that I going to use in local edits for players to not get confused. Anyone is welcome to use it

6) Cloak of the Crusader is fixed to allow Arazni (thanks) but it doesn't check to see if equipped before adding the Natural AC. It is equipped in the character, but I might have it unequipped ;-)

7) Hmm, I tried to add Armor Spikes to the Rosewood Armor by editing the existing armor. When I did, the "Set" button was there to set the price, but the area that would show the pp/gp/sp/cp section/value doesn't exist. Clicking "Set" produces four:
"Attempt to access transaction pick from script when no transaction context exists."

[risner]

Sorry for the spam of issues, I built 3 characters today (for me and others) and ran into all kind of issues.

8) It seems I have screwed up my journals. I have them entered in order on the program (one goes one direction, the other goes the other direction) and they look find (and have the correct dates) in the program. But when I print out the sheet, they seem to be randomly arranged and I can't seem to determine the order. I tried to manually shift the order in the .por file but there must be something other than "first appearance in file" that dictates the order?

This was mentioned in a post back in September, but I thought I'd bring it up again in case you missed it. The description for the spell "Crafter's Curse", from the APG, is incorrect. It reads, "Subject gains +5 on next Craft check." The spell should give a -5 penalty on the next Craft check.

Thanks!

When I select the Street Performer Archetype, it limits the number of times per day that I can add the Streetwise ability. According to the APG, there is no limit to the number of times per day this can be used. It should just be a hard modifier that is always applied.

Thanks

9) Pale Green Ioun Flawed also adds a morale bonus to attacks and this isn't counted in CMB.

In the description of the Animal Type (Bestiary, pg. 306), it says "Proficient with no armor unless trained for war."

Rather than restricting it to light armor proficiency, I've interpreted this as meaning that the Combat Training trick (from animal handling) grants light, medium, and heavy armor proficiencies.

Otherwise, the riding dog as listed in the bestiary would not be proficient with the scale barding it's pictured in (admittedly, an illustration shouldn't be relied upon for this sort of thing). I haven't seen anything else that suggests a war-trained animal should need to purchase additional armor proficiencies. As 2 HD creatures, if they receive light armor proficiency free from combat training, the riding dog and horse don't have the feat slots available to purchase both medium and heavy armor proficiencies. So how do you get a mount in full plate barding?

If anyone's seen any errata or official answers that support this or refute it, I'm happy to alter my interpretation of the rules.

Apologies if this has been covered - I used my feeble search-fu to try and find it but didn't see another mention.

According to Jason Buhlman in the (FAQ, Combat Training does not grant armor proficiency. I made a Druid with a tiger companion and noticed that HL is still granting all of the armor proficiencies with the Combat Riding trick - any chance of this getting fixed in the next update?

No, using Handle Animal to train an animal, or mount, in this way does not grant it a free bonus feat. It is not unreasonable, however to assume that an animal specifically designed to be ridden (such as a horse or dog) could be purchased with Light Armor Proficiency as one of its feats (swapping out Endurance or Skill Focus respectively) for the same cost.

I created a community add-on months ago that makes this change. Just download from d20pfsrd from the zMisc folder. Its called PFRPG_AnimalCompanionArmorRAW.user and just drop it in your Data\Pathfinder folder and your done.

Hellknight Smite chaos doesn't add the bonus to attack (from Wisdom), it adds in the bonus to damage (including double when that is activated). Shouldn't it have an entry under 'Tracked Resources' as well?
-EDIT- Hellknight armor abilities now work with created custom/magic armor. Awesome!!
