Add Wisdom to to-hit rolls

[eldamir]

I'm trying to add a Class Special that adds wisdom mod to ranged weapon attacks but can't seem to find 1) how to do it or 2) think of anything that I can clone.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Are you trying to add a Wisdom bonus instead of Dexterity or Strength or in addition to them?

 

[eldamir]

In addition to them.
"At 11th level, your imbued arrows gain a limited ability to seek their target. You may now apply your Wisdom modifier as a bonus to hit with your imbued arrows."
From another vecna archetype

Here is a quick Class Special Eval script I put together. If its not quite what you want feel free to use it as a base for your own.

Phase: Post-Attributes, Priority: 20600

~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

doneif (tagis[Helper.Disable] <> 0)

var iText as string
var iWis as number
iWis = hero.child[aWIS].field[aModBonus].value
iText = "+" & iWis & " Wisdom"

~ Here we are pulling the text the user entered from the
~ Durattion field to set the text.

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "wCategory.RangeProj"
#extradamage[eachpick,iText,eachpick.field[name].text]
nexteach

This applies a wisdom bonus to all projectile weapons, but not Thrown weapons. Adding thrown weapons is simply a matter of copying the last 3 lines of the script and changing "wCategory.RangeProj" to "wCategory.RangeThrowj".

Thanks go to ShadowChemosh for showing me the #extradamage macro a while back.

Thanks for that Mergon - that adds a text note on the damage side,
How would I add Wis to (dex or str) on the attack bonus side though?

 

[Mergon]

Opps, I missed that. I added ' eachpick.field[atrBonus].value += iWis' to the script. This should add the wisdom bonus to Ranged Attack Bonus field of each eligible weapon.

I can't test it atm, but it should work.

~ If we're not shown, just get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)

doneif (tagis[Helper.Disable] <> 0)

var iText as string
var iWis as number
iWis = hero.child[aWIS].field[aModBonus].value
iText = "+" & iWis & " Wisdom"

~ Here we are pulling the text the user entered from the
~ Durattion field to set the text.

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "wCategory.RangeProj"
#extradamage[eachpick,iText,eachpick.field[name].text]
eachpick.field[atrBonus].value += iWis
nexteach

Note: You may also want to try replacing the line '#extradamage[eachpick,iText,eachpick.field[name].text]' with 'eachpick.field[dmrBonus].value += iWis'. This will add the Wisdom bonus directly to the weapon's damage instead of as a text fields as I originally set up.

That was exactly what the Dr ordered, Mergon!

Thanks and one of these days, I'll actually figure out the ins-and-outs of all these eval scripts

These are part of hero Lab and may help some.
