Really soon I hope. I want to do a little work on the Templates and the Mythic Subtype that I have just gotten to. Feats are done, magic items are done, and I am at the end with the Monsters. Monsters/templates are important as that is what the DMs will be using the most of.

I want to do some reading and testing to make sure what I built so far work correctly for both "Tiers" PCs/NPCs and "Ranks" monsters. I have learned that once I release a data package somethings can't be changed or I end up breaking gamers .por files which would be really bad.

So my goal is to get Phase 1 out this week actually maybe with templates but most likely no templates but the framework to work with Ranks will be in place. So crossing my fingers that its a slow work week, as many will be on vaca, so that I can get more time to finish this up.

But really I am really really close and I know the playtest is very short so want this out ASAP so people can use it......

Ahhh shucks... Thanks!

I have been doing some testing and have things working pretty good. I have the new Mythic Subtype in and fully coding and working. With a very simple Mythic template that applies the Mythic subtype to any creature then.

I have the XP problem fixed so that the with 3 levels and 2 tiers HL considers you a level 3 character for XP. It will also consider you level 3 now for the purpose of getting your ability points. So again with 3 levels and 2 tiers it will say new ability point in one level. Thats good as it was one of my issues.

I have a validation error showing now if you pick a feat from the Feat tabs. I had to create my own validation rule for checking skill ranks as if you have 3 levels and 2 tiers HL would let you put in 5 ranks into a skill. Which is wrong so I have a new validation error throwing for this now.

So looking real good for next day or so to release....

Selected the Dual Path. Is it setup to allow the character to select another Mythic Path?

Yes it is but I can't suppress HL's warning about taking a Archetype past tier 1. But simply add the path and you will get no warnings after its added to your character.

[Lord Magus]

Is there a way to tell HL to throw a flag if you haven't selected a Path (ie an Archetype) at MT 1? I had no clue as to where to select a Path until I came back to this thread and found the answer.

Actually yes their is a way I think. That is a good suggestion and I will try and add that for the next release. Sometimes when you design stuff you end up too close and don't see issues like this.
