Path of the Zealot

[CptCoots]

I'm implementing one of the newest Unearthed Arcana supplements found here http://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/do..._Barbarian.pdf. Now I'm trying to allow the user to select from necrotic or radiant via the Item Selection area (i.e., Select From..., Custom Expression, etc..) but I can't seem to get either of the two to be listed. Are they not in selectable form and so I have to make my own or am I missing them somewhere? Thanks.

Hi,

I've implemented it today in the community pack. You can gfrab it here: https://github.com/Sklore/HL_DD_5e_C...Barbarian.user

How do you implement these files into the Hero Lab interface?

It depends on a couple of things.

Do you have the Community Packs installed?

If not, follow the directions here to install the community pack.

If you do, make sure that on a hero you have the "5e Unearthed Arcana - Barbarian Primal Paths" source checked. You can open a character and hit Ctrl-K to see what options you have turned on. If you scroll down to the Unearthed Arcana section you can see if you have turned the UA article in question on.

Most of the Barbarian Path's from that UA article were superseded by information from Xanathar's Guide to Everything though, so unless you want the older version for preference you should probably use that source.

If you're asking how to add code, I won't answer that here, you can search the forums for editor tutorials or open the editor and read through the help files.

Damn, I had done everything except for the choice.

I hate how I can't seem to figure out how to just download the file.

Probably always a good idea to drop into the Community Pack Github and see what we are up to before going out and creating something yourself. We usually have a host of changes pending release. We keep track of things with the issues section.

I like to think I know what i'm doing (I did the implementation of the MtG races and I contributed some stuff to 3.5), but I abhor working with github because I just have a hard time. I don't edit this shit in text editors, I use Hero Lab Editor. As such I'm unfamiliar with getting everything working right that way.

I'm going to be a debbie downer here but your implementation is messy in the Specials tab. Path of the Storm Herald adds 2 copies of Storm of Fury (c5CBbnSHSF and c5CBbnSHFD). Looking at the implementation, rather than editing the livename and CustDesc of c5CBbnSHSF you have 4 different Storm of Fury abilities. The same goes with Storm Soul and Raging Storm. I know these things take up little space, but isn't it more appropriate to doctor up a single version that has all the information in it? Oh and Array-BasedManu? is a brilliant way to implement the choice between radiant and necrotic (I'm a bone head). Would you mind if I offer some edits?

I'm not good with field editing, usually I miss the proper phase or try to edit read-only fields. Also, I implemented the Thergy Wizard Tradition in a similar fashion, with a choice affecting several conditional bootstraps.

Feel free to clean up the code, I could use some new ideas
