Drop down for a dexterity bonus

[Morphaeon]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create a subclass that can pick a dexterity based skill and receive a proficiency bonus to it.

I made it as a racial special ability, but I'm a little lost as to how to make a drop down that shows all of the dexterity based skills, and then add the proficiency bonus to it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would first suggest that you create this as a class special rather than a racial special, since applying a racial ability as a class bootstrap can confuse you when you're troubleshooting later.

Secondly, you can put this in as a Custom Expression down in the Item Selection area:

SkillAbil.aDEX (remember to restrict this list to All Picks on Hero)

Any skill that uses DEX will have this tag on it.

You would then need to write a script that looks like the following in post-levels/10000 timing or so:

      if (field[usrChosen1].ischosen <> 0) then
        tagexpr = field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[ProfSkill.?," | "]
        foreach pick in hero from BaseSkill where tagexpr
          perform eachpick.assign[Helper.Proficient]
          nexteach

I haven't tested this code, but it's close to what you want to do or should get you pointed down the path.

Thank you so much! That did exactly what I wanted it to!
