Zarlor,

Sorry I am working on character attribute adjustments for Savage Rifts Iconic Frameworks. I was wondering, how do you change the assigned skill for a weapon. I made Flame Bolt as a ranged weapon and want to tie it to Psionics.

AH, I haven't really read through Rifts, but I would think #traitcreation would be fine if I understanding Iconic Frameworks well enough. As for assigned skill... I'm not too sure about that.

Greetings,

I'd like to add the Mega Powers from Savage Rifts. I can do this with the editor..how can I add a Mega Power (or a new power, for that matter) outside of the editor?

Thanks,

GB

What do you mean by "outside of the editor"? Speaking strictly for a new Power (I'm not familiar with Rifts to know what a Mega Power is compared to a Power) if you were using a text editor you could copy the code for some other power in the .user file and paste that as a new section to modify the xml code from there (I like using Notepad++ for modifying xml files for that). Unless you mean within the main HL program, in which case I think there is a spot under the Powers tab where you might be able to add a custom power there (but that will only get saved in the portfolio you are modifying and noplace else.) Or do you mean something else?

A Mega Power is just an enhanced version of a regular power. Thanks for the help...I'll copy the relevant data from the custom .user file. Should this data be appended to one of the .dat files (perhaps the main file..rifts.dat)?

That's a question for the Rifts thread. That depends on how they are trying to organize things as to which .dat file it should be in so that's heavily dependent on that specific project.

[SWADE] - How to add a power as an innate ability
  1. Create "Innate Abilities" Arcane Background. Make note of the ID you give it.
  2. Go to the Invalid Powers button and select all of the listed powers. Leave Power Points and number of Powers empty. You can adjust these through scripts.
  3. Create Racial Ability / Property which adds the power you are looking for.
  4. Bootstrap the Arcane Background from (1) and the Innate Power to the Ability / Property created in (3)
  5. Open the Tags section of the bootstrap for your innate power.
  6. Add Arcane as the Group with the ID from (1) as the Tag.
  7. Save and Reload your data, Select the race with the new Ability/Property. See the shiny new "Innate Abilities" tab with the power you've made innate.

Of course, you may have to create a new power depending if your power has any innate modifiers like Range (Self) or such.

Something I haven't seen discussed, and it may apply in all game systems, is if you have the need for bootstrapping an edge to an ability but the edge has a chooser on it and you need a specific selection from the chooser as part of the bootstrap.

In the editor:
Field ID: usrChosen1
Value: id of the needed choice
select Pick instead of Assign.

Reload your dataset and you should be good.
