This is normal - that stuff should be set when you originally copy the
class, and then shouldn't be changed. (If you do need to change it,
you'll have to hit the Create Panel button to create a new panel to go
with the new class.)

When you bootstrap a feat, click the "Condition..." button for that
feat. In the 'tag expression' field, enter something like:

count:Classes.Fighter >= 4

For example, this would make the bootstrap only activate if the
character was a 4th-level fighter or above. You would replace "Fighter"
with the class tag for your class, and "4" with the level required.

Then set the phase and priority to something like First / 100, and it
should work smoothly.


Hope this helps,

Thanks for the help on that now I need 2 things.

I need to know where I can find Energy Resistance, for the favored soul I need to add Energy Resistance 10 to the class 3 different times. Is there a way to make it so that I can choose a type of energy when I get the skill? And where do I find them in the list to bootstrp them?

Also it gets DR 10/silver or 10/cold iron based on alignment how would I do that?

Any help would be appreciated, I am learning alot, thanks guys!

Might I make a suggestion as well, can you put a button on the error log that pops up that allows you to copy the entire log to the clipboard to paste somewhere.

Try right-clicking within the error message area. A menu should appear with a "Copy to Clipboard" option. Select this option, then you can switch to your email program or web browser and paste the text into a message.

If you need to be able to choose which energy resistance to get, you
should add the different resistances as a 'custom special' ability, then
let the class choose up to 3 of them. For example, you could create a
favoured soul "Fire Resistance" custom ability that bootstrapped the
general "Fire Resistance" ability (you would bootstrap the thing
"xDamRsFire") and then did the following in a script:

#applyresist[xDamRsFire, 10]

You would create one of those for each possible resistance the favored
soul could take, then allow the user to choose up to 3 of them.

You would bootstrap the "xDamRdSil" (silver) and "xDamRdIron" (cold
iron) things from the class thing, then do something like this in a
script on it:

if (hero.tagis[Alignment.Lawful] <> 0) then
#applydr[xDamRdSil, 10]
else
#applydr[xDamRdIron, 10]
endif

This gives the hero 10 DR vs Silver if he's lawful, or 10 DR vs Cold
Iron otherwise.


Hope this helps,
