Combat Styles

[AndrewD2]

I created a copy of the Ranger, but it has no combat styles for me to select. I'm not sure if I need to make copies of them out of custom special, or if there is a way I can just select them (since if I don't I'd have to manually copy all of the other styles that aren't from the CRB).

Thanks,
Andrew

On the class you can tell it allow selecting custom abilities of another class. Select ranger. You will need to do that for primary, secondary and I think the third ones also.

Thanks, now the only problem I'm having is that the new feats that are supposed to become available at 6th level don't show up.

Go to the Special Abilities tab in the editor, and make a copy of one of the Ranger Combat Styles.

Examine the Eval Script.

You'll see that it is hard-coded to look for Ranger levels...

      if (hero.tagcount[Classes.Ranger] >= 6) then
        perform assign[BonusFor.RgrTwoW6]
        endif

There might be other ways around this, but one way is to:
1) make copies of all the Ranger Combat Styles
2) change the "Available To Class(es)" to point to your class instead of the Ranger (SpecSource)
3) the Eval Script to look for Classes.cMyRanger (or whatever yours is called)

You would, of course, have to undo the previous solution in your class, so that you don't get both the standard Ranger Combat Styles in addition to your Ranger Combat Styles

[AndrewD2]

Yeah I've done that, at least for the option my player is using.

[lifer4700]

I am reasonably certain that you could instead create copies of the existing Ranger Combat Styles, modify them to look for Ranger or your CustomRanger, then tell Hero Lab to replace the original with your modified one, but I have NO idea if that would apply here, or how that works.

[ShadowChemosh]

Wouldn't it just be easier to assign "Classes.Ranger" to the hero for each level of your new class you take? Then all those feats and abilities would treat you as having Ranger Levels also.

Plus would work with any new book or abilities that come out in the future.

The Pathfinder files assume that there is exactly one Classes tag per HD.

(for example, #totallevelcount[] is hero.tagcount[Classes.?])

[AndrewD2]

So I'm guessing that means that assigning the tag will not work
