I'll look at this soon as I have a chance. Currently preparing for a Saturday night game session. Thx a lot.

Yeah, sorry Shadow didn't mean to muddy the water earlier. I was trying to figure out how to force findchild to treat the variable he's using for the tagexpression correctly. I remember that sometimes the functions don't like to be passed a variable so you have to use another function to push the string held by the variable, but I don't remember how I did it before.

The boons are granted by a demon, so some debate on how people want to add them is probably making it murky. I think Mergon is making these as a variant of Epic Boons.

I've decided to go a different route so I'm backing off. I got some traction today with my Adjustment calling a Configurable that allows you to pick a couple of Racial Abilities that have a Custom tag for it to list. I'm not sure I would allow multiple boons but my way right now would easily grab the uservalue from the adjustment to use as the number of racials granted by passing it to the configurable.

I wouldn't normally allow someone to have more than one Demonic Boon myself. Hiwever, some of my players are quite crafty and my pull off something sneaky (yet again) and end up with two.

I can see at least one of my plauers playing one demon off another and gettign the benefit of two boons for the duration.

In my opinion, Epic Boons are the best way to go with such Boons; mostly because, much like Epic Boons, they are normally granted by beings of power.

The configurable can be bootstrapped to anything at this point without issues. In addition you could have a person select multiple demon lords from the configurable. The only thing then is another script maybe needed to append the demon lord name to the Ability Adjustment so a gamer has a easy time figuring out which ability score boost goes with which demon lord.

My game session got called for tonight. The tornado's in the region yesterday still have some of my players without power.

Thus, I've been trying to get my head around the coding you created. Once I do, this should go straight forward.

Right now I am just trying to convert what you created to an Epic Boon instead of an Adjustment.

Once I get one working, the others will be straight forward. The other abilities that gp with a Demonic Boon are straight forward. I just lost my sample when I lost the contents of that hard drive. :/

Shouldn't take me long to re-create.

The adjustment I provided is just a method to get the Configurable live on the character. You simply need to bootstrap the configurable to whatever a Epic Boon is. I honestly have no idea if that is a feat, ability, etc..

The idea is you just need some Thing else to bootstrap the configurable to that a gamer will add to the hero.

Epic Boons are an option in 5E. Usually gained by gaining 50,000 xp above and beyond 20th level (or as a major DM reward.

Shadow, do you have a DnDBeyond account? If so, I can email you a link to a blank campaign I share among my players. If you create a character, you'll have access to all my materials on the site. I purchased the Ultimate Pack that gives me everything up toMordenkainen's. Let me know if you want access.

Btw, you can create a free account on DnDBeyond that lets you create up to 6 characters.

I do not but I appreciate the offer. I currently have no plans to really do anything with 5E. I know HL so I try help here but the actual game is not one I or my players play.

Currently we are doing the PF2 playtest and Starfinder....

Thank you though...

[Mergon]

I have a HLO active account. Unfortunately I have not been impressed with PF2 so far. I absolutely hate what they did to races. A lot of other stuff is great mind you.

As it is, when we play PF, the group wants to stick with the original Pathfinder.

Ok, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here, but when I drop you .user file into my directory, everything seems to work, except I can't chose Ability Score values . . .
