Knowledge Skill Choices

[sablevarg]

I can't seem to find this question answered anywhere on this form, so I assume this is an easy thing - but please help the dense new guy.
How do I limit the skill choices for a feat to just knowledge skills.
It seems like it should be easy, but I'm just not getting it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx

Here is some example code that may help ...

With the feat Sacraficial Skill, the prerequisites are:

Prerequisite: Any Evil Alignment. Wisdom of 15. Knowledge (religion).

To check that the hero (actor) has all three prerequisites, create three separate Expr-reqs expressions to test for them. Here is an example to test for Knowledge religion.

Message: Knowledge (religion) required.

[X]Is Error?  [ ]Only Report Error Once  [ ]Is Silent Error  [X]Highlight Panel

Prerequisite Expression:
child[kKnowRel].field[kUserPts].value > 0

First, more information is a good thing. Its hard to know how to answer questions without knowing more about what you're trying to do. That said, I think what you're asking is you have a feat that needs a selector. In that selector, you want only knowledge skills. If that's the case, try using this as your Custom Expression:

component.BaseSkill & Helper.SkCatKnow

I haven't tested this, but here's what it should do. It should place anything in the drop down selection menu that has both of these tags. To see these kinds of tags, go to the skill tab in the portfolio, and right-click on a skill. Then select "Show Debug Tags for ...".

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to create a feat called Area of Expertise. It gives the character a +2 on a chosen skill (I have that part), makes the skill a class skill (I have that part too), and gives a +2 to the Gather Information skill when used towards the chosen skill (that's just located in the description text, so I have that too). My sticking point is: I want the skill chosen to only be a knowledge skill and not, for example, Tumbling.
Hope that helps...
Thanx again

Yes, it does. Did you try putting the code I wrote above in the Custom Selection field?

Sorry for being such an FNG, but I placed that in my eval scripts and i got the error 'Invalid use of a reserved word in script' so I'm apparently not putting it in the right place.

I finally figured out what to do,(I may be slow... but at least I'm dense) I got it working.
Thanks for the help!
