Loading Problem with Skills

T

Every time that I load up HL on an existing character it has 1 more skill point than what is legal in the rules, if I touch anything like the skills button, my ability scores, anything, it changes back to where it's supposed to be (6 for me, it bugs and says 7) and usually claims I've overspent skill points if I added a point to 7 to make it "happy".

If I save it with 7/6 skill points used, as over-spent, and I load up the character, there are no bugs, until I press any button and then it breaks again.

Anyone know if there is a setting or something somewhere that is making this problem?

Thanks!
 
How would I go about doing that? I'm new to Hero Lab, but for some reason I re-created the character and it's still doing it... plus my Magus doesn't have this issue lol.
 
Save a portfolio of the character showing this problem. Then click on the "Go Advanced" button below where you post to the forum. One of the options for the advanced post is adding an attachment to the post. Select the saved portfolio to add as an attachment.

You need to have the third party pack and have Ultimate Psionics ON... if that helps at all for debugging and such...

Thanks! I found the issue and its a timing issue in the way stuff is loading from a saved .por file.

I will have this fixed in the next release this weekend. Until then you can do the following to fix it:

1) Start HL
2) Go to "Tools->Show Editor".
3) Go to "File->Open Data File...."
4) Select "COM_3PPPack_UltimatePsionics - Classes.user".
5) Click on the "Class" tab.
6) Click on the "Favored Class Optn (45)" tab.
7) On the left side click on the "fcPUPwrPnt" "+1 Power Point" thing.
8) Look for "Sources" near the end of options.
9) Click the blue 'EDIT' button.
10) Click "Select None".
11) Save the file and restart HL.
 
So I picked the +1 PP for level one, not the Skill Point, I'm going to try ^ All that again and see if I can't fix this.
 
Yes, that fixed it. You guys are good :D!

Thanks!

(Any adding in an option to have Vigor get it's own option for Spell Adjustments since by lvl 9 you'd have to use 2 False Life, Greater selections to get more Temporary Health Points? :-) )

Adding Adjustments for "Powers" is on the to-do list but so are many other things. So they will happen eventually. :)
 
I was enormously happy when I found out you guys had Ultimate Psionics in your free files :D. I don't mind waiting, just is a minor inconvenience is all, no worries!
 
Quick question, Shared Power in Hero Lab says that you increase the Power cost by 4 when you use the feat, but in the book it says 2 (I own the pdf) which one is right?

The SRD says 4. You might want to check your source for an updated PDF (I check DriveThru periodically for just that reason) or errata.

If the book/pdf is Ultimate Psionics then the book is right. This package started it's life years ago under Psionics Unleashed and some rules where changed for UP. Its very easy we missed some text to update.

@charlieluce my pdf of UP says 2. I am "pretty" sure its the latest but I would have to double check....
 
Any way for me to check what the correct rule is? I have a DM that goes off the SRD 100% unless something more powerful (Like the creator of the rule) says otherwise...

They've actually called up someone from Paizo over a rule dispute, and I don't think Dreamscarred Press would like a phone call at 8 pm at night lol...
 
Searching on the Dreamscarred Press forums turns up confirmation that this was changed between Psionics Expanded and Ultimate Psionics, but the SRD has the copyright info for Psionics Expanded, so it hasn't been updated yet.
 
So now if I go onto any class, it gives me the option to add 1 Power Point as a level feature, like 1 HP or 1 SP... How do I fix that as well as keep the Skills behaving?
 
Well if you read earlier in this thread, my skills were 1 higher than they were supposed to, and did the steps to make it stop doing that.
(It would fix itself if I touched any ability or skill arrow < or > it'd go back to 6 skill points instead of 7) and now, every class that I could possibly select can now pick "1 Power Point" even if it's not Psionic... I'm confused.
 
ahh i see what you mean now.
its currently listed to be available for 'all characters' which makes it available to all classes and races. guess that was the easy blanket way to make sure any characters that needed access to it had access to it.
i can see the races in ultimate psionics all get the option but i don't know if there are others outside of that that will. suppose we could change it to just those races but all classes...
