I'm trying to help out a DM of a 3.5 game add a custom race into HeroLabs.
The good news is that I've been able to create the base structure of the class, but am having problems adding a few of the special abilities. I was able to create a Special in the General Tab for the Racial Saving Throw bonus but for some reason I can't see it when trying to add it to the Race. What might I be doing wrong? Special Abilities I'm trying to add: Gain a +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy , Sense Motive , and Gather Information checks. Additionally one of these (players choice) is considered a class skill. +3 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects. Thank you for your help Marissa |

So, you can't choose it in the bootstraps?
I am by no means an expert, but I just tried it, and after I tested it (left top button), I was able to add it myself. https://i.gyazo.com/c1daa9508444cd79...4ccfc943d8.png https://i.gyazo.com/2d339fb6f99f5aaf...1e06573cd5.png https://i.gyazo.com/8a84fd644aa34c00...a2a12ed0af.png |

Correct it doesn't appear in the bootstrap and as far as I know I did something similar to you.

Yup that was it. odd but it worked.
Do you have any ideas how to do the Skills bit? Gain a +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy , Sense Motive , and Gather Information checks. Additionally one of these (players choice) is considered a class skill. I can't find a way to give a skill bonus with a special or in the race section. I did find under an Eberron race using a script to give a special a class skill but don't know how to work a selection work. There is only one player who is playing this so I could hard code it at the moment, but would like to try this at least once. Thank you once again. Marissa |

Feats Traits/Flaws Class Specials Adjustments Not everyone has Traits/Flaws enabled in their settings so I tend to avoid this one for cases like this, though if you're group does use them it could be an option. You can't bootstrap class specials to a racial special, so that won't work, and adjustments are really best for being added manually. So that leaves us feats. You can create a feat for the sole purpose of selecting which skill to add as a class skill. When you create the feat, you'll need to add the tag "Helper.Helper" otherwise it will show up as an available feat to take for any character. You'll also need to set up a Custom Expression for the specific feats you want available to choose from: Code:
component.BaseSkill & (thingid.kDiplomacy | thingid.kSensMot | thingid.GatherInf) Code:
~ We're done if nothing has been chosen. doneif (field[fChosen].ischosen = 0) ~ Pull Class Skill tag from chosen skill. perform field[fChosen].chosen.pulltags[ClassSkill.?] ~ Loop through our classes and assign the pulled tag from above foreach pick in hero from BaseClHelp perform eachpick.pushtags[ClassSkill.?] nexteach Let me know if you have any trouble, and I can work it out if need be. |
