I'm finding the fact these two don't display the bonuses from Close Attack and Ranged Attack is beginning to bug me, and am thinking of doing a houserule file with the editor to address it, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. The individual skills don't actually seem to have a formulation in their own entries dealing with the calculation, but use a formulation elsewhere. Anyone able to enlighten me about how I'd go about this?

Part of it could be done by making a new copy of Close Attack and Ranged Attack and putting the following (different thingid for Ranged of course) into their Eval Script at the end:
Code:
foreach pick in hero from Skill where "thingid.skCloseCom" eachpick.field[Permanent].value += field[adRanks].value nexteach |

Oof... I think you could do it just replacing 6 fields, but it would be messy because you'd basically have to add to Permanent in a copy of the Advantage, modify the AttackSki procedure to subtract out herofield[AClosePerm].value instead of field[skAttrBon].value, and then modify the Close Attack Skill to call the new procedure. Then, rinse and repeat with the Ranged side. I could write it up for you, but it would be brittle as all get out and I can't guarantee that it would work in all cases.
Side note, writing things up in the Authoring Kit does help with understanding how all of this comes together and also makes me amazed they haven't gone insane trying to implement these systems. |

Probably not worth it. But thanks for the answer.
