I don't have TobyFox Forgotten Realms. It kept sending my Mac into recovery mode, and I didn't download it on my desktop.

If that isn't the FR files that you have on your PC then I'm curious where they came from. Your only other option is to locate the files on your PC and try to copy them over to the Mac.

In the Ultimate Psionics - races file, great job of getting everything entered, but... The traits are all entered as an Alt Trait so not available in the race builder. Should these not be entered as Custom Race Trait with an RP value instead?
Let's say I wanted to add the Advanced template to an Elan. There is no way to do this in the Race Builder since none of the Psionic traits are available.

Both books came out at a similar time, though I don't know when Ult Psionics was coded. I will note the UPs does not have RP's in the book (that I can see) and the Advanced Race Guide doesn't mention the races in UP either.
The traits were probably entered as Alt Traits, so that they show up as such in HL.
I understand your point with the Race Builder, but it's unlikely anyone in the Community is going to rework the file. If you have RP values from somewhere else, perhaps you can copy-paste the traits into a new user file as Custom race traits.

Thanks for the direction Dami.
Evaluating what is in the Feats file and filtering out those with high level requirements and/or class specific brings the list down to about 30 Traits and Feats that would need to be replicated as race adjustments. So a lot more manageable than the almost 300 supplied.

I need some help understanding why my "Adjust Caster Level -> Evoker" isn't changing the caster level when I look at prepared spells for my Ftr1/Wiz14 character. Are there any known fringe cases that I might be bumping up against? This char does have the feat that allows the fighter level to be added to caster level, and also a tattoo that bumps the evoker level by one as well (maybe the one added by the Community Pack isn't stacking or something?). If there's a way to see everything that's being added in (or not added in) when calculating CL, I could look at that to see if I can figure out the problem.

Thanks, everyone; particularly SC — I use the Community Pack all the time and I love it!

Improving the effective caster level usually does just that. It does not give you extra spells known or spell slots, it improves your effective level for things like duration, damage done, # of targets, etc. In other words, it does not grant you the full benefits of an extra character level in the casting class!

Yeah, that's why I don't understand why the calculation that shows up in the spell description doesn't show the increase... I've got the adjustment set for +1 Evoker, then I look at a spell and it shows CL15. I turn off the adjustment and the spell still says CL15. Clearly, something isn't getting added in.

I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to HLC scripting, but I will probably take a look at it to see if there's some other hidden condition that isn't satisfied.

Thanks for the reply.

Could the increase be capped by your character level?

Does the script on your adjustment begin with a line turning the script off if the adjustment is not selected? Something along the lines of

Code:
doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)
