if/then syntax

Basically it's just a magic item (that I'm trying to do without using Fantasy Companion) that simply increases your Str by 1 die or +2 if your Str is already d12 (and ignores your normal d12 Max Str.) I set a character to a starting d12 Strength and using your code and got no bonuses on it at all. But in any case I would need that +2 to work no matter when your Strength was advanced to d12. For now I think I'll stick with the original code even if it only advances to d12+1 because at least you also can see where that bonus is coming from using #traitadjust if you mouse over your Strength in Hero Lab. This seemed like it would be a fairly easy one since it should just mirror what Augmented Attribute is doing.

Oh, I see. Your second line is adding it as a roll bonus, not a die adjust bonus. And you're running it at Traits where it wouldn't work when I had it set to Pre-Traits/5000. It does work a little wonky that way, so I think I will stick to how I've got it for the moment, which should work from what little I know of this stuff but I could be way off base on how it works.

#traitadjust accesses the trtBonus field of the Attribute, and that value falls under the character's maximum limit. You're actually adjusting the Trait.

#traitroll accesses the trtRoll field of the Attribute, and this value is not covered by the limit. It's modifiers added to the Trait, not actually changing the Trait.

Right, so I could use Roll to get around the limit, but I'd actually prefer raising the limit and using Adjust, which is what the trtMaximum line above should be doing (and the way Augmented Attribute does it) but it doesn't seem to be working here for some reason I seem incapable of figuring out. Perhaps stranger is that it's treating the max as if it were set to 7 (d12+1) which is presumably above the max of 6 (d12) but doesn't want to seem to allow it higher than than (such as the 8 I have set, or even 9 or 10 if I set it higher than 8). Maybe something else is just overriding it?
