Custom Template issues

[terraleon]

Hello!

I'm trying to create a custom template, and I'm running into an issu.

Racial Skill bonuses don't seem to be applied. I've used the bonus in the value field and the skill designation (skClimb) in the name field. I've also tried "Climb" but the bonus isn't showing up.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

-Ben.

I'm sorry, could you please be more specific about where you're entering this? I'm afraid I can't figure out how you're trying to accomplish what you're trying to do.

To add a skill bonus, press the "Eval Scripts" button at the top right, add a new Eval Script, and change the phase to "Pre-Levels" and the priority to 4000.

 
#skillbonus[skClimb] += 4

Add a #skillbonus[skXXXXX] entry for each skill you want to grant a bonus to. In that example, it's a +4 bonus to climb.

Of course! I'm using the editor, I'm in the template tab, and I have added a bootstrap for Racial Skill Bonuses.

So one field, beneath the bootstrap title is:

rPFSSSkill

then the value? field is 8,

and then the name field currently has skClimb in it.

Thanks!

EDIT: Using the eval script you noted works, but I'd like to see it work with the way I was trying, if possible.

I think the racial skill bonuses thing you were trying to add was specific to some race, so it would have had its own script that granted specific skill bonuses.

The "Racial Skill Bonuses" bootstrap has no other label or field associated with it, so it's use for another race seems...unlikely, but I don't have the source to compare.

I would think one intended for a specific race would have a tag like the other race specific bootstraps-- the croc bonus, the perception in webs. That sort of thing. If not, how would I modify the bootstrap to do what I'm looking for here?

thanks,

-Ben.
