Braid of a hundred masters

PFS boons are of course something we want to handle properly in Hero Lab.
That of course is always welcome. Not sure if its a good thing to wait for or start now and roll what we do now into the new mechanics once done? Always a question as I can see good reasons to go both ways of course. ;)
 
My personal preference for a community project is still the conferred ability adjustments and spell adjustments - in a game last night, I could simply turn on an adjustment for the Inspire Courage from the Bard, but the Cleric had the leadership domain, and we don't currently have an adjustment available for that domain's Inspiring Command ability.

Other the boons that are physical items that are made available for purchase, the boons will require a new table and a new editor tab (they may be adjustments, but I have some ideas about generic boons that I also want to implement - the option to just add a blank thing, fill in a name and fill in some text, so that you have a permanent reminder on your character sheet that your GM told you that you have a +2 bonus to diplomacy in town X, so I'd rather create a new thing for boons).

So, since the adjustments are things that can be ported straight into Hero Lab and made available for everyone to use, but the boons would require a lot of revision if we took in the user-created material and used that, I'd say hold off two months and see if we can get the boons working ourselves.

Yea this is coming around to be on my target list of projects soon actually. Of course soon at this point will almost be the new year. My current focus is the Psionics Unleashed community package actually. PU is way behind the other community packages and is a very popular one. So it is something that I would like to get moving on and with the advent of PE stuff its even more important to get done.

Honestly these adjustments actually are a very large project as each new Book that Paizo publishes, several a month in fact, has stuff that could/should be a Conferred/Spell adjustment. Its a bit a daunting actually. :p Of course getting all the main Hard Books done would be nice. The other side is that with the changes to my "Adjustments" addon I do cover ALLOT of stuff that can easily be done with a generic adjustment. Especially if you want to set a specific Bonus to a save or something. So even in my own games if its missing my players simply use a generic adjustment.

I don't actually have any control of what an editor considers "important" or has desire to code. So if its currently "Boons" I will provide the means of giving those away.

Will see how the others feel about waiting for the new mechanics as they do sound like exactly what is needed. :)
 
We will need a new "two" letter ID

How about PS? I always just added Ris to the end to ensure uniqueness ;-) I started doing that when we had the batches of clashes.

I actually have a hosted PFS file started
Code:

I'll merge this with my stuff and get it to Shadow.

I'll implement a few and if HL natively supports them later people can migrate.

I'll work on the Inspiring Command and post in the thread.

My idea on this was to have a selector pick a journal entry and the item/boon check this journal for #3-17 or the text of the mod played to verify. I'm not sure why a new tab and table in the editor would be required?

Its a bit a daunting actually.

I'm willing to write the missing ones, I just am not a fan of laundry list ones. I'd rather put effort into making ones people directly are playing with on characters.
 
Shadow- I was actually the person that asked AndrewD2 to help with this project. I have compiled a list of all of the Custom Items from modules and scenarios for pfs. The list can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uMnuUWtXJq-0Bnj8BDUwKGXLYxddTvrTwoiyVdq7XVg/edit

I am not sure if it will help at all, but thanks for doing this. I will let my fellow Venture officers know that it is in the works so we can let others know.

I also tried adding your source Shadow and I got an error.

Spaarky, I'll add everything on that list not already in my file.
Shadow, easiest for you to wait until I do so? Or take a update from me?
 
Lot on there...

I'm down to:
Map of the Silken Way through the Zho Mountains

I've got to put this on the shelf until next Monday the 22nd.
