Gaining Racial Spell-Likes

TerminusWolf · July 16th, 2016, 04:20 PM

How do I bootstrap spell-like abilities based on how many hit dice (not class levels) the creature has? I tried using:

count:Hero.HitDice >= 2

But when I added on an additional hit dice the creature didnt gain the ability. I couldnt think of a race that gained racial spell-likes based on HD but I did take a look at the Half-Celestial template and copied everything word-for-word but that didnt work either. Do they have to be psychic spells?

phase & priority of your bootstrap condition?

Looking at examples of bootstraps like this on the Fey Creature template, they're at First/750.

The half celestial template sets them at first 500. Ill give 750 a shot and let you know if it works for me. Thanks!

First 750 worked like a charm. Thanks yet again Mathias! You wouldnt happen to know why First 500 wouldnt work and 750 did would you?

Because the tag Hero.HitDice is applied around First/600 to the hero. So you where testing for a tag that did not yet exist.
