Adding Dragons

[Kesendeja]

My computer's down, but I'm having my husband look for the file.

[Kesendeja]

here it is, plus a few other things.

Thanks.
Uhm, sorry to bother you, but how do I get this into HeroLab?
HeroLab seems to want an *.hl file.

All you need to do is put the .user file in the folder where the data for the game system is (mine's Program Data/Herolab/data/Shadowrun ) and that should do it. After that, the data in the file should be available he next time HL is opened...

Thanks, worked like an charm.


Edit:
Got to look at it some.
Is there an easy way to inculde the Mage quality into the race and to set the Magic attribut to an minimum of 6?
I suppose I would need to change Essence too?

Edit2: Fout the Magican qualitiy thingy. Now (currently) idea how to set the minimum magic to 6...

I believe I have completed the dragon races.

I did get some assistance from Mathias, from Development Support, so credit where credit is due.

I have created a .user file that holds all 4 dragons, the Magical Tradition, and the metamagic.

I had to create a number of checks that run when the race is loaded, so the stats displayed when picking it are incorrect.
Once the race is loaded, it should match the .pdf released.

If you see any issues, please let me know, as I would love to get this perfect.
Please note, that I am very new at this, so I do expect there to be some mistakes.

I hope you enjoy.

ps. I had to upload the file as a .zip, as the forums don't appear to let me upload a .user file directly.

Looks good, much neater than mine. Any possibility to add the option of "Great Dragon" to the file. I prefer to make my dragons using the rules for PC's, just with a lot more Karma.

Thankyou, I tried to make it look as polished as possible.

I don’t know where I would find rules for how to create Great Dragons.
Without some form of stats, it’s hard to create a balanced and rule following race.

I would also be hesitant to add it to the ‘dragons’ .user file, as I want it to remain as close as possible to the original rules released by Catalyst. (even if it was an April fools joke)

I will take a look when I get the chance, but I can’t make any promises on Great Dragons.

Thankyou for the feedback.

Don't have the april fool pdf at hand, but if I remember correctly there is a paragraph about great dragons in there.
