archetype removing one instance of class special

[psych777]

how do you remove a class special from just one level that it is granted? the class gets this special at 2nd level and again every 2 levels after that (so at level 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 etc). the archetype has a new special ability that replaces just the 10th level of the original class special. i know how to remove the special ability completely, but how do i replace just the instance at level 10 without removing the rest?

You have to write a script to disable and replace it individually. Use find child and the ClSpecWhen.? Teg

In example this replaces just the 14th level mutagen the Alchemist gets:

Pre-Levels/10000:

~ Disable the Persistent Mutagen ability we get at 14th level.
perform hero.findchild[BaseClSpec,"thingid.cAlcMutage & SpecSource.cHelpAlc & ClSpecWhen.14"].assign[Helper.SpcDisable]
perform hero.findchild[BaseClSpec,"thingid.cAlcMutage & SpecSource.cHelpAlc & ClSpecWhen.14"].assign[Helper.SpcReplace]

That only disables it, you also need to assign the Helper.AbReplace tag

Actually I thought it was Helper.SpcReplace for class abilities? Or at least the Archetype like Beastmorph was using Helper.SpcReplace not Helper.AbReplace.

And thanks I forgot to copy both lines of script for the example above...

Yep you're right, I usually just copy/paste it myself and change the parameters ...

The above actually makes for what should go into a Procedure actually. Then less chance of a mistake. And easy fix if anything in the future changes....

Quite true. Just a lot of careful timing. You'll either have to carefully set the input parameters or do multiple scripts if you have to disable multple items.

okay so where would i put the script? i tried it on the new ability itself, then put it on the archetype, but neither one removed the 10th level ability
this is what i edited it to:

~ Disable the Terror ability we get at 10th level.
perform hero.findchild[BaseClSpec,"thingid.cPUTerrors & SpecSource.cHelpPU2 & ClSpecWhen.10"].assign[Helper.SpcDisable]
perform hero.findchild[BaseClSpec,"thingid.cPUTerrors & SpecSource.cHelpPU2 & ClSpecWhen.10"].assign[Helper.SpcReplace]

on the archetype
