Building NPC's & Skills

vardeman · April 16th, 2018, 07:24 PM

OK, trying to put together some NPCs for a game I'm running, but when I try to set skills, they don't change and I get a notice like: "This value is not at its default value (difference +2)".

How do I get rid of that and allow skills to be at non-default values?

If its an NPC, just ignore the alerts. There are for balancing, but as the GM you can make a NPC as skilled or unskilled as you wish.

The thing is... I can't give them specific skills like +4 Athletics, I can only assign them default, good or master.

ah yes, I have noticed this also, the only direct modification method would be to create a PC as your NPC, which would give you more controls and be more accurate.

Well, after fiddling around, I found where overrides to skills can be made. Unfortunately after doing that, I've hit a bug where I cannot login to HLO.

The element you provided cannot be rendered. You provided an element of type undefined.

It looks like there's something odd going on with the server right now. Sorry about that! We're troubleshooting and should have it fixed soon.
