Hrm, When trying to create the races for the regions I have come across an interesting problem.
The Fay'ri races when starting out has a choice of two special abilities from a chosen list of demonic abilities, if this was a class I would know how to handle this easily, with custom abilities. Races and templates does not seem to have the custom expression box. This isnt the first time I have seen this problem, I tried to create the "Dragonborn" template and "Shadow Creature" template before and ran into a similar issue. Is there a way to do this or is such impossible to do at this time? |

I was going to look at my own Dragonborn template and tell you how I did it only to discover it was incomplete. Guess I should finish that before I cut the release. Anyway, I suspect this would be done the same way we did the bonus feats on the trait. I'd have to take a closer look at it though if that doesn't work. |

===== On an aside, the dragonborn reminded me about a mistake I made when I was starting to learn. Will the update change "Races of the Dragon" at all, because I like an idiot--added stuff to that user file--mostly spells and a few missing feats-- and cant remember what I added. |

Well mostly my work is done.
I still have some feats that will not work properly. Mostly its a matter of fixing feats so that they have a drop down menu, the complicated ones such as the "Initiate of XXX" feats add specific spells to cleric list for free for each level. There are a few feats that require specific class specials such as "Bardic Music" A feat that adds removes a type/subtype and adds different one. A feat that adds +3 spells known to the cantrips of a Sorcerer or Wizard. A feat that has the hero choose a single item creation feat. A feat that has the hero select a single crafting feat. And a feat that changes the height and weight of a hero. I hope I can get these done before the next update. |

Basically what I am trying to do is a Template Called "Chosen of Mystra" Quote:
I tried doing it making chosen of Mystra as a Class, but it told me I couldnt make a class with only one level. (Which makes sense I suppose since thats what a Template is for). From what I am seeing, what I want isn't possible? P.S, Once I am nearly done, just need to do spells and (I hope the Chosen of Mystra), and I'll be all set to send. |

The template is possible, it just needs to be implemented carefully to account for the pull down choosers for the spells. It looks as though you will need multiple pulldown menus, one for each spell level. This is accomplishable. You might have to make a custom thing for each spell level and bootstrap all nine of them to the template however.
What you could do is make each bonus spell a special ability and have each special look for your character's spell level, you will want them to auto disable if the character doesn't have access to the level of spell granting the bonus. For example, a character with 17 intelligence wouldn't normally be able to access some high level spells, so you need the class special to automatically disable itself if this is the case. If the character qualifies for the spell level, the character would choose a spell from those available. I believe this template is for Arcane magic, as Elminster is the Chosen one in the 3.5 version of the realms. You'd set up a custom tag expression down where it says Custom Expression. Each spell level will have a tag that identifies it as a spell and what level and type it is. as an example, you will want something like this for 1st level spells Code:
component.BaseSpell & (SpellType.cHelpSor | SpellType.cHelpWiz) & sLevel.1 You should have nine of these created, and once they're done, bootstrap them to your template. Not saying this the best way to do what you're trying to accomplish, but it is one way of doing it.

I am aware I need multiple ones, Custom Abilities would be great, the code already exists, almost exactly how I need it (Arcane Dillitante, Factotum) but would be great, but template doesn't seem to have the options for that unless it needs to be done with pure scripts...

for the specials, yes you would have to manually script those lines of code. I'm not seeing the choosers in the d20 version, sadly. Maybe you could find an ability or special that adds a spell-like ability and modify that to fit your needs?
