So I've started the long process of entering in the Eberron source material. I've making some head way but I wanted to see if there was a way to add the composite plating feature to the warforged race.
So far I've basically just added the plating as a new armor and bootstraped it to a special ability, which I then bootstraped into the race. The only problem with this approach is that the plating doesn't auto-equip. Is there a way to do this? And if there is, can I get it to delete itself when adding in Warforged feats like Adamantine Plating? |

I'll add it to the list for the next release. As for making the armor disappear... let's say that you have 2 bits of armor, Normal Plating and Adamantine Plating, and a feat that should delete the Normal Plating and add the Adamantine Plating. First, make the Warforged race bootstrap the normal plating, and the feat bootstrap the Adamantine Plating. Now everything is working, but if you take the feat, you'll have both the normal and the adamantine plating. On the feat, at the bottom of the list of things you can change, there's a "User Tags" button. Click on it, then add a new tag with the id "AdamPlate" or something - this defines a new tag. Now on a script for the feat at a very early phase and priority (like First / 0), do the following: var result as number result = hero.assign[User.AdamPlate] This will make sure that the hero has the User.AdamPlate tag when the feat is selected. Now you need to make sure the Normal Plating goes away when this tag is present. On the Normal Plating armor, click the Condition button at the bottom-right to add a Condition tag expression. Change the Phase to "First" and the priority to "1" (i.e., just after the tag is added). For the tag expression, enter: !User.AdamPlate So what we've done is: * Added a tag to the hero if the adamantine plating is present * Told the normal plating to go away if the tag is present Hope this helps, -- Colen McAlister (colen@wolflair.com) Chief Engineer, Lone Wolf Development http://www.wolflair.com/ |

Thanks for the reply this works beautifully.
I'm working on the Artificer class now and I'm adding in the Craft Reserve. So far I have it as a special ability with charges (20 for first level, 40 for second level), but I'm running into the same problem that I did with the armor. I need to have each level of Artificer delete the previous levels Craft Reserve. The armor trick didn't work for me, is there a different method for this type of item? |

Hi there, Sorry for the late reply on this - we had to discuss it and then it fell off my to-do list. There's no way to reset the total craft reserve used every level - for one thing, what if you made a mistake and added the wrong kind of level when you levelled up? If you added a level of Artificer, the craft reserve would reset - even if you then deleted it and added a level of something else. For now, you'll have to manually reset the reserve used to 0 every level. In the future, we'll be adding a "Craft Reserve" mechanic to custom classes, so you'll be able to do this properly for the classes that you create.

Were the Craft Reserves ever add to 3.5 system? I am starting to add the Artificer class and was hoping that this was implemented.
Thanks, Rick |

No, I'm afraid it was not, and I'm afraid I won't have the time to get to that for a while. I'd recommend just displaying the total to the user, and letting them handle the recording.
