    Race with 1 of two hindrances?

    Hi all! What would be the typical way to handle this? I know in PF I would just use a chooser and assign a tag, but that's not available in SW, right?

    1 "Racial" Ability providing one of several edges?

    Howdy! I'm working on the Dog Boy race for Savage Rifts and this has me stumped. The Dog Boy has the Breed Advantage racial ability that lets them choose 1 of several edges as 'bonus' edge provided by the ability. I've also tagged the appropriate edges with a new BreedAdv group tag. In other...

    HLExport - Third-Party details not editable?

    Hi all! I'm trying to do an .hl file for a new game created with the Authoring Kit. When I open the HLExport tool, the details to enter the Third-party information is greyed out and I can't change the information there from an old Fate Core export I did. Am I missing something? Thanks! Thomas

    Combining Macros?

    Hi all! I have a eval script using a couple of macros: <scriptmacro name="bkgdbonus" param1="skill" result="hero.child[#skill].field[trtBonus].value += 1"/> <scriptmacro name="bkgdskill" param1="skill" result="perform hero.childfound[#skill].assign[User.BgdRank]"/>...

    Multiple non-unique components as one entry?

    And another question :) - In Pathfinder, Feats like Toughness can be taken multiple times, yet on the selection tables only appear once, with the number of times it has been taken appended to the end of the name. What is the way this should be done to get the same result for our own...

    Bootstrap or gizmo?

    Something I was thinking about.... Can you attach a thing to another thing? Specifically I would like to attach a Resource thing to my Magic component to easily allow for counting selections, etc. I thought bootstrap at first, but if I'm right the bootstrap attaches to the hero, not the thing...

    Link pick to a tab?

    Back with yet another question. :) I have an ability chosen from a table_dynamic portal which is now a pick on the hero. Is there a way to link this chosen pick to the tab so that other portals on the tab can access it's fields, values, etc easily? For example: Component S has four fields...

    Modify Description on a component?

    I'm back again with something that doesn't seem to be working... :( I have a Skill component, and this eval script on the component: <!-- Update description for each rank3+ with additional info --> <eval index="5" phase="Traits" priority="10000"><![CDATA[ trustme var myDesc as...

    Sorting question

    Howdy! :) I have a question regarding sorting that I'm drawing a blank on. I have a sortset for display with a choosesortset entry: <sortset id="AdvSort" name="Choose Advantages"> <sortkey isfield="no" id="PointCost"/> <sortkey isfield="no" id="_Name_"/> </sortset> Each...

    Tags + chooser?

    Howdy! I'm working on a dataset for a new game system and am drawing a blank on how to set something up. In this game, the hero has 5 attributes and a nationality. Each nationality provides a +1 to one of two specific attributes. I have a Basics tab with all attributes being displayed as...

    Invalid Character in Description field?

    Hi all! I'm trying to build some datafiles and copying text off of a webpage. When I do though. I often get this error: Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected: File: thing_X.dat (line XX) - Thing '<thing id>' - Invalid characters used in string for...

    Pair of weapons as light when main & offhand?

    Howdy! I'm away from my laptop at the moment so I don't have the details on my version of code for this, but what I have is only partially working. I'm trying to implement this ability from the Chakram Dervish fighter archetype. The code I have will change the Chakram to a Light weapon by...

    xCount / FirstCopy

    I am working on a dataset where I need to use something similar to the xCount/xIndex/Helper.FirstCopy functionality. I figured I could set up a component with both fields, and if the component becomes a pick and doesn't have the FirstCopy tag, add it. How so i deal with the count and index...

    Fate Core - Use Gizmos for this?

    Howdy! I am hoping the responses to this post will not only help me, but anyone else working with gizmos, etc.... In the past, I've worked with gizmos a bit when creating gadgets for a DWAITAS custom dataset. That seemed a bit simpler though than what I'm attempting now. In the dataset I'm...

    [FATE] Source selects Campaign Type?

    Howdy! In the Fate Core files, there is a Campaign selector on the Configure Hero screen that lets you choose between Fate Accelerated, Fate Core, Fate Core (Skill Columns) and Spirit of the Century. I've set up an additional Campaign called MyCampaign which only shows to select when I've...

    Add Tag with Advance?

    Is there way to use a advance to add a tag to an item selected by an advance? For example, I have a Stunt in Fate Core which I want to select with an advance and add a "Tag.Custom" tag to after selection. I'm thinking I could do an eval script on an Advance.Notation style of advance looking...

    Eidolon-like companion?

    Hi all! I'm working on a class that has a Eidolon-like creature (a Horror) as a companion. I've duplicated the Companion Class Helper, the Companion Type, and the Simple components. However, even if I leave the "Eidolon at level ____ " entry as a 1 and change the Type to my custom type a...

    Fate Core: New Advancement?

    Is there an example of doing a new Advancement type for Fate Core? For the Tianxia dataset I'm working on, one of the possible advancements is to be considered a Master with one of your Kung Fu Forms. This would add a tag to the form (KungFu.Master or something like that) Right now, the Form...

    Is this possible?

    In a game system I'm working on, a character purchases a "Tree" of abilities for their character. Abilities in the first row cost 2 points, second row 4 and the third row 8 points. An ability can appear on multiple trees, but if it's not considered a 'ranked' ability, then you pay for it once...

    Fate Core - sheet_standard?

    Any chance of getting a plain text version of the Fate Core standard output sheet? I think that would be essential for us to create our custom output, just so that we're familiar how the Fate information is output in the first place.....
