I have run into two small issues that I need some assistance with. My efforts to streamline the races selectable between multiple "universes" or "sources" such as Ravenloft, Faerun, Core, Dragonlance etc., has mostly been going well, so far each of the sub-races I have created have worked as intended and even functioned played very nicely with the previous versions. Almost too nicely, I'm almost expecting the other shoe to drop at some point. However, I have run into a slight snag with two issues that have been brought to my attention by some folks who are helping me test this content.
1) Favored class options are not working correctly. In the case of the Elf, selecting DROW vs SUN or Dimernesti. They each have different favored class options. At the moment, I am using the Ethnicities to to select the different type of elf. But the favored class bonus doesn't seem to want to work. I was wondering if anyone out there might know of a way to force this to function properly.
2) I am trying to replace the FRCS Regions racial special and mechanic with one that simply says "Region" and gives the option for the user to select the regional trait based on what race it is bootstrapped to. Ultimately, I know how I want it to function, and could probably code this but I am not confident that it would be elegant, easy to understand and play nicely with other elements. I was hoping, I might be able to ask for some assistance with this.
I want REGION racial to be automatically bootstrapped unless it is manually added. I want to have the default selection of NONE. And only show selections appropriate for the BaseRace of the hero. If ADOPTED is selected I want it to override the choices and instead display ALL the options.
Finally, I want to create an adjustment script that will allow the user to add the REGION racial to the character if that is their choice and the system is borking up and not doing so.
One of the major problems is that there is more than 150 or so regional traits and it needs to bootstrap properly. The only way to do that is make a conditional bootstrap and I've never done that for something with as many choices. I'm slightly concerned how it would affect some users. Or even the functional limitation of the HL software.
Advice on this would also be appreciated.
