I'm making notes of the various bug reports, but will hold off on making any changes to OA (or L5R) until I get an update from you.

Timing issue. I fixed it on my end and will send to Sendric once I'm done with the files for next release.

Oops. Forgot to code this one entirely. :D
Scripted as a Dodge bonus when "katana" are equipped. Will forward to Sendric when I'm done with the files.

Thanks for the reports :)

Hello again.
In the Swiftblade, the AC dodge bonus obtained by swift surge does not stack with the dodge bonus from the dodge feat required to become a Swiftblade. Dodge bonuses, as explained in page 93 of the PH under the “Dodge” feat, should stack.
Could you take a look to it?
Tnx!

Dodge provides a situational bonus, not a static one, so it doesn't get calculated. It only applies a +1 bonus against a single chosen target

Ah OK! Perfect, then!

Paragon Creature, from Epic Level Handbook, gives +10 on every skill.

It is also giving 10 free Skill Tricks if the Tricks are made available, what it shouldn't do. It does not have similar issue with Speak Language.

Skill Tricks are from Complete Scoundrel.

Necklace of Natural Weapons, from Savage Species.

It is supposed to affect one or more natural weapons, but instead it is just figuring its own Attack bonus and no damage, without changing the relevant entries, so no actually useful math is being made.

Also, it costs 600 in the descriptive text, but is costing 300 in the actual system.

Heroic Destiny, a feat from Races of Destiny, is appearing two times with just slightly different descriptions.

Gauntlets of Extended Range, from Magic Item Compendium, should double the range increment for throwing weapons (even improvised as such), but it isn't being computed.

I do imagine it was left behind because it is too hard to code and too broken for any sane game, but in the source Unearthed Arcana there is missing the feat Item Familiar.

Natural Bond Issue
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello,

I am a new user to the Hero lab d20 system. I was recently creating a druid with the ability to taking a black bear attempting to use the Natural bond feat. With my first attempt at just using the hero lab installed items I wasn't able to find the natural bond feat in the listed feats. I sent an email to support and as I await a reply i found the forums with the secondary source material. I followed the steps and nothing happened. I found the manual import files and I manually imported what I believe to be the current files and that is the Lawful_G_d20(v1.24) files and d20_StockP(v1.01) files. Upon uploading these items a bunch of things that was missing appeared, as well as the natural bond feat (yay). But now the feat isn't interacting as it is supposed to do and my hero lab shows my bear at being only lvl 1. I started as a lvl 1 druid and I just recently leveled up my character but the bear is still just lvl one and because it doesnt fully recognize the validity of the feat to the bear it says lvl 0+3 and thinks that there are too many levels or if you look at the bear profile it says bear lvl 1-3. Did I do something wrong? I have attached my .por for those to view and tell me whats up.

Natural Bond only increases your effective Druid level if you have class levels in something other than Druid. So your character's Druid level is 2 with or without Natural Bond. You cannot increase your Druid level to something above your character level even with this feat.

Hope that answers your question and welcome to Hero Lab!

Snedric,

Thank you for responding to my question. With regards to how Natural Bond is supposed to work in regards to being able to take the alternate animal companion is the negative and positive modifiers are simultaneous. You can apply your modifiers in the most beneficial order. Outside of standard order of operations (remember, addition and subtraction are simultaneous). When you summon a bear there is a -3 to your effective druid level (not actual subtraction from physical level, but just a balance modification if you will). When you take the Natural Bond feat you gain a +3 effective druid lvl. This feat has nothing to do with your lvl stats but just your effective druid lvl. So you take the penalty for summoning a bear, and then the feat give you a bonus that puts you back up.

Illyahr March 12th, 2019 09:29 AM

The feat states it can never make your effective druid level exceed your character level. If you are level 2, it can't raise you past that

You are correct. The feat doesn't make my effective druid level exceed my character level. The -3 penalty from the bear drops me from a level 2 effective druid level to a -1 effective druid level and then then feat brings me up from a -1 druid level to a lvl 2 druid level.

Hmm....that's a good point that wasn't factored into the equation. Let me look into what it would take to resolve that.

Cool, Thanks. Might I suggest that instead of the animal companion checking to see if the druid level meet the requirements but instead apply the actual penalty to the effective druid level and then allowing the feat to correct that?

The actual wording of Animal Companion on this regard is:
"Should she select an animal companion from one of these alternative lists, the creature gains abilities as if the character's druid level were lower than it actually is."

As similar as it seems to be, this is not a penalty. It isn't taking out your Druid level to let you get the Companion, it is teaching you how the Companionacquires benefits, while Natural Bond gives you a bonus to effective Druid level.

You cannot use Natural Bond to offset this.

Monteparnas may be right. The difference here is that taking more powerful companions requires a certain level. For example, you must be 4th level to take a black bear. Natural Bond doesn't increase your effective druid level beyond your character level, so you cannot take a black bear as your companion until you've reached 4th level even with Natural Bond. That said, there seems to have been many debates about this online. Has anyone ever seen an official answer to this?

Monteparnas March 13th, 2019 08:54 AM

Without an official answer (and actually, even with one), we need to go for a solution that leave enough room for customization. Is it possible to add an Adjustment just for raising the character's Effective Druid Level for Animal Companion?

Enjeruookami, I read both texts, Animal Companion and Natural Bond in the original source, and I stand my interpretation. Outside an official answer on the matter, I stand my interpretation of the RAW, although I'm not necessarily against your interpretation as a valid option. But we need to code RAW here, not common sense.

Actually, I think I have an idea that will work. I can place an option in the In-Play tab to allow this feat to do what Enjeruookami is asking. Since not everyone agrees that is correct behavior I don't want to make it the default, but having the option for those who do want it seems a reasonable solution.

Agreed. Since the whole point of Hero Lab is being a tool, not a judge, if this is possible it will be the most desirable path.

Tiefling source is set to Races of Destiny instead of monster manual for some reason so it doesn't show up when it isn't selected.

Illyahr April 26th, 2019 08:16 PM

Master of Shadows (Drow of the Underdark) is supposed to add one to each of the drow sla but only adds to one. Coding has the 'done' line after each "if" so the code stops there and doesn't add charges to the other two abilities.

The Talent class ability (Courtier class, Rokugan Campaign Setting) should apply to Intelligence and Wisdom based skills as well as Charisma based ones.

Hey everyone,

First post on here. I bought this program today and am trying to figure out how to build gestalt characters. Has anyone got any advice on where i find that?

TIA

I noticed that when equipping two weapons, the offhand weapon does not get highlighted in the magic item summary tab.

Thanks!

There isn't a fully-implemented way to do gestalt with the system. Your best bet is to make a class variant that adds the abilities of one class to another. You'd have to make a separate one for each combination you wanted to use though

Swordsage + Master Thrower give improved crit
 
It's possible to incorrectly get improved critical effect when taking one level of Master Thrower (complete warrior) and one level of Swordsage (tome of battle).

1. Make a Level 1 Swordsage, Level 1 Master Thrower character.
2. Purchase a dagger, and note the crit range as 19-20.
3. Choose Shadow Hand for Discipline Focus cSwoDFWF
4. Go to feats and select dagger for weapon focus fWepFoc

The crit multiplier will change to 17-20.

NOTES:

Removing either the Shadow Hand discipline (Shadow Hand) choice or the feat weapon focus dagger choice will remove the increased threat range for daggers.

Without a level of Master Thrower, this does not happen.

When the (incorrect) threat range is increased, no improved critical feat is ever listed on the player tab.

This may be a byproduct of the Critical Throw ability for master throwers. They get it at level 5 but it might be triggering at level 1 for some reason Sendric

You are correct. Easy enough fix, but I'm concerned there may be more cases like this in Complete Warrior as most of these were done a long time ago.

Thanks for the assist!

When I add Chain Shirt and Chahar-Aina to a character, the AC bonuses from both stack and the character receives the appropriate AC. Are you still able to reproduce this error, and if so, how?

That's my belief. I tried rogue fighter swordsage and master thrower and I believe only the the combo of master thrower & swordsage caused the issue.
