Printing/Outputting Spell-Like Ability Details

mastratton · May 26th, 2015, 06:31 AM

Is there some reason this doesn't work? If I have a creature that has several SLA (take an Movanic Deva, for example), I'd like for not only the SLAs to appear on the character sheet, but the details as well. I don't want to have to go back and look up Dispel Evil, or the mechanics of some other ability.

It's terribly inconvenient that these don't print out (unlike spells, which do.)

I saw a thread from last year where Aaron (I think) mentioned something about having another dossier or something that could handle this (like there's a separate one for spells, another for a journal, etc.)

Can you guys add this please? Not all of us play from the tactical console (it's too unwieldy for me to use efficiently, so printing out the details saves me a tremendous amount of time.)

Please report Pathfinder bugs using the links in this thread is a sticky thread at top of Forum. A bug is ANYTHING you think is not working correctly. Weather you know for a fact or are just wondering if it is wrong. Report it using the above links to get an official response from Lone Wolf.

Except, SC, I don't think it's a bug. I've read several threads where people are asking for this feature, and at one point, Aaron even talked about adding it. For it to be a bug, it would have to be part of the program and not working correctly. I don't believe it's part of the program.

This is something that is not working as it should - all of the monster's other abilities have their details listed on the printout, except the spell-like abilities.

Also, we don't have any objection to getting feature requests through the bug tracking system, so even if it wasn't a bug, this is something you can report there.

See this is why I keep telling LW to change the name. They want all things reported to the Support System so they can make a ticket. This way the "task" can be tracked and correctly assigned to someone.

Even the community has moved to using support tickets, even if I put the ticket in for the community myself, because forum posts get misplaced. On GitHub its called "Issues" but I can tag the "issue" as enhancement.

And even as I was writing this Mathias answered.

That's interesting - when I went to the link that SC provided, it talked about feature requests or something should be sent to support@wolflair.com, which is what I ended up doing.

But, if the bug tracking system is how you want people to report that kind of stuff, too, then I'm with SC that the name/language should be clarified. Thanks, both of you, for your help!
