Vital Strike Beta test....

ShadowChemosh · 01:22 PM

So I created a new Vital Strike feat that can actually be activated and replaces the official feat. Their is NO source to check mark to get this to work. You simply install it and it will have a new option to "activate" the Vital Strike feat.

This is especially useful for those with iPads. This version also figures out if you have Improved, Greater, or Mythic (playtest or official) feats and will increase accordingly.

I thought I would put this out for others to test and let me know if you have any issues. If it all works out good I think I will put it into the Player Pack and CB then. Plus I really want it for my home games as I have a barbarian now with Mythic Vital Strike and I want it to be easy to roll the 6d6+44 damage on the iPad!

Click HERE to download the .hl file and if on a mac/Windows just double click the file to start the install process.

If you have an iPad make sure you are using Safari browser and click the above link. Once downloaded the iPad will ask you to open it in the Hero Lab play app. Then start the HL app and go to the "View Updates" in the top right corner. Click on the "Install New Updates" blue button.

Please note this is a beta version..

I just found this from a previous thread you responded to. I have a question: are you going to add the Devastating Strike to this as well?

Sure should be able to do that. I will add it for the next release of this...

Awesome. I have a few characters who rely on single attacks and this would really be helpful.

I just noticed that it doesn't seem to be working with ranged weapons.

Yea that's cause of change that was done a few releases back in where Ranged vs Melee damage was broken out into two fields instead of one. I will get a new version out soon...

I love the idea of this, but I do see a bug. I have a mythic paladin using Improved and Mythic Vital Strike with a Greataxe. Normal attack damage is 1d12 + 34, but when I check Vital Strike, it shows 3d12 + 68, instead of 3d12 + 102.

I tested by adding Greater Vital Strike, and while the dice change to 4d12, the static modifier doesn't. Tested again on another character, and the static damage is not multiplying past the first time when using Mythic Vital Strike.
