I think CC will have to look at that once he gets a chance to check out this thread. He's far more knowledgeable about this stuff than I am so I'm not positive of the best approach to fix it.

I think the simplest fix would be to remove the bootstrap rule, and then set the valid powers list for each of the deities. Then just let the player choose the signature power from the list as one of their 3 starting powers

Yeah. Although you could also set multiple AB: Miracles, one for each diety or power as appropriate. I do wonder if it's correct behavior for the program to act the way it is in this situation, though. It could be we're looking at a potential bug which may be something CC can fix if it is. His method here might be something I'd like to use in some other setting files, but not if it's going to make whatever I bootstrap that way not work correctly elsewhere.

Well I removed all the bootstraps next to the AB:Miracles edge and although that gives me a bunch of errors when i open the portfolio it does now let me select any of the powers as norml.

Can I get a summary of what's up, or is it complex enough that I need to go through all three pages of this?

CapedCrusader · September 16th, 2013, 07:26 PM

I'm the one that wrote the Hellfrost file...

I would guess the errors were from stuff that was originally bootstrapped that was made invalid when you removed those things. Still, I like the idea of what I think he was trying to do there. I just wonder why it wasn't quite working right.

Caped, I think if you start around post #12 those few posts there probably cover the gist of it.

CapedCrusader · September 16th, 2013, 07:28 PM

OK, I read it anyway. Which Deities are missing powers? The ones with Healing?

zarlor · September 16th, 2013, 07:33 PM

Demonetrigan would be more familiar with that. Even so I am kind of wondering if there isn't something strange going on there. It seemed like you have the bootstraps set on the powers instead of on the deities but doing so then seemed to preclude the use of that power. It just seemed like it wasn't working right to me, but I'm not positive what you were trying to do, either.
