So I created a sorcerer with just an elf as the race. I am having the same problem. This may need to be put in the "bugs" thread unless someone else can figure out what's going on.

Knowledge Arcana is already a class skill for the Sorcerer. You have to pick a different one. I did that and it worked fine.

I shouldn't try to figure things out when I'm tired. Even his screen shot shows that it is already a class skill. I should have noticed that. Good catch.

OK. I already had Knowledge Nature and Knowledge Arcana. Knowledge Nature is not a class skill for Sorcerer, but it wouldn't show up in the drop-down list.
So, per comments by Sendric, I added two more Knowledge areas, then went to select the Arcane Bloodline Class Skill. The two new items plus the pre-existing Knowledge Nature now show up in the drop-down list. (See attached screen shot.) My question: why didn't Knowledge Nature show up before? It was there, it just took adding something extraneous to make it show up. This sounds like a bug. The second screen shot attachment shows that there is no description for Knowledge Engineering. Not exactly a bug, per se, but an oversight on someone's part, perhaps? Last edited by Daeorian; March 28th, 2011 at 09:39 AM. |

I can't reproduce that, Daeorian. Not saying you didn't see it, but when I add in just Knowledge Nature, or have both that and Knowledge Arcana, Knowledge Nature shows up in the dropdown for me. Not really sure what that means...maybe it was some sort of fluky thing, or it requires a very specific set of steps to reproduce.

Maybe it was the order in which I did things. I just tried to re-do a 'test' cat and could not get the bug to repeat.
One question came to me during my testing: If Knowledge Arcana is a class skill for a sorcerer with the Arcane Bloodline, why doesn't it automatically show up under skills? Here's what I did for a test: 1st - create new hero named "test". 2nd - de-select EVERYTHING under Settings except the output options, then click OK. 3rd - under Classes, choose favored class of Sorcerer. 4th - under the Magic tab, buy "for free" the Amulet of Proof Against Detection & Location (to be my bonded object in a later step.) Equip the amulet. 5th - under the Background tab, choose race Human, alignment True Neutral, and select Charisma for my +2 bonus. 5th - under feats HL is prompting me to select a feat. I chose Combat Casting. 6th - back to the Classes tab and level up with my 1st level of Sorcerer. 7th - under the Feats tab, HL prompts for another feat. Selected Improve Initiative. 8th - under the Sorcerer tab, "Add more Bloodlines (1 left)!". Chose Arcane. 9th - "Add more Arcane Bonds (1 left)!" Chose Bonded Object. 10th - from drop-down list next to "Bonded Object: Choose (1/day) (Sp)", selected Amulet of Proof Against Detection & Location. At this point I'd expect Knowledge Arcana to be showing under the Skills tab, but it's not. (See 1st attachment.) If I add it manually, it shows as a class skill. (See 2nd attachment.) Why aren't class skills automatically added? |
