Hi,
Not sure how possible this is, i have some herolab experience although this is only through copying existing items/scripts, nothing beyond that. There are some variant rules on the creation of spellbooks / scrolls and making them out of tougher (although perhaps heavier) materials. here I have copied some existing spellbooks, gear / gizmo's, and had a look through but there is no materials field or item that does something similar i can copy... as far as i can see. My first question is it even possible to give the user a selection of materials, akin to a weapon or armour, when purchasing or creating a spellbook? Has anyone done anything similar or can point me in the direction of some sample code? or know of any gizmo's / examples of anything similar? Would it be possible to request this be added, the materials field for gizmo's, (unless someone can suggest something better) for development purposes? Thanks in advance, 3v1L_D34D Last edited by 3v1L_D34D; September 29th, 2018 at 10:24 AM. |

Use cases:
Buy rope/chain or manicles out of stronger or unusual materials. Buy a Custom spellbook, metal plate pages, choose material. Buy a Custom chest/container, pick the material to reduce weight. Example, Custom bag, make it out of a stronger material, or one with magical Properties, such as fireproof. |

They aren't Paizo sources, so it would need to be a Community produced file. There's also a huge amount of work involved from what I can see. There are two ways to do this now:
1. You could add "custom" items and use the text field to note the different material. 2. Create each item in the editor as you require it. Since most are purely text "features" you don't need to do scripting. The costs for different materials aren't consistent when you change from (for example) scroll pages to scroll cases, so I don't think you could set up materials using the editor to pick the types from. You probably have to create most items individually in the editor. Current RPG's: Pathfinder (GM), Pathfinder (Player), Gamma World (GM, Pathfinder homebrew). HeroLab: 3.5 & Pathfinder.
