Hi,
Not sure if I'm posting in the correct section... but in the New Path Compendium, there is a class called - SpellLess Ranger. Welp, it won't allow any other archtypes to be put on, saying that it needs to be linked to something (I would assume the Ranger class should be in the make up of a Spell-Less somewhere). I'd even go in and add it, but I can't find it anywhere, I assume that's because it was bought as a package? Thanks, Corwyn |

I would report that bug to Kobold Press or maybe even LW. The class is setup correctly to allow Ranger archetypes. It should be working.

I just looked at it as I am currently building a Spell Less Ranger. It shows that the Ranger Archetypes are allowed because on the Class page in the editor, it shows uses Archetypes for X and has Ranger class allowed. And when you go to anyone of the Archetypes it shows that the class to modify is the core class of Ranger.
So it appears to me, that the linkage between the Class field Uses Archetypes for X and the Archetype isn't properly registering in the code somewhere, because the error is Linked Class Required. Just a guess based on looking at the configurations. I'd report it as a bug as Shadow suggested. Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum. |

Sorry to reply to a thread so long dormant, but I've just run into this issue as well in trying to create a variant Bard class.
I've done extensive testing with a variety of configurations for several different class alternates (Bard, Barbarian, Rogue, Fighter, Cleric, Sorcerer), and I haven't found a way to make the Archetypes from class X apply their modifications to class Y, where class Y has "Use Archetypes for X" selected as class X. Every configuration results in the same "Linked Class required" error when I actually select the Archetype. The only examples I've been able to find of actual Alternate Classes that are able to use their source class's Archetypes are the Unchained classes from the Pathfinder Unchained module from Lone Wolf. If there is a known way to correct this, or some other source of working Alternate Class Archetype application, I'd really like to know about it... Note, based on the posts in this thread, I did contact Lone Wolf with a bug report. Their response was to refer me to the forums for community help... |

I dug in to try and find the issue. I can duplicate this with other custom classes but I am unable to find the reason or fix.
If LW wants to give me access to the source code I would be happy to find the issue. But I simply can't see a reason what is different from the Unchained Monk to the Spell-less ranger class without being able to dig into the component scripts.

If you find any missing data or errors in Kobold Press data packages, you should write to them at koboldpress@gmail.com and let them know. Thanks!

I thought I was running into this, then discovered that for the Spell-less Ranger, there is a separate list of archetypes that is below the list of Ranger archetypes. "Shadow Stalker" was the archetype I was looking for, and it appears in both the Ranger and Spell-less Ranger lists. I had so many Ranger archetypes listed that I didn't even see the Spell-less ones (I had to scroll down). Once I selected the Spell-less Ranger version of the archetype, it worked.
I guess there is still a bug that the Ranger archetypes are showing up. Last edited by carlb; June 1st, 2019 at 12:09 PM. |
