Channel Resistance shows+0- how do I change it?

Hi guys,

First post here. I've been using HL for a while to keep track of my own PCs. I am now doing some GMing and have discovered the amazing utility of Encounter Builder and the combat tracker.

I've successfully created several custom monsters from the modules I am running and added them to the data directory for use in Encounter Builder. My problem is with a custom race created for Undead monsters. They are supposed to have a Channel Resistance +2 bonus, but the Channel Resistance option under new abilities it is set at +0. How can I edit this value?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
So on the Adjust tab is the other adjustment "Ability Value Modification" which should work. But its not allowing Channel Resistance to be chosen. But the idea is you need to change the field "abValue" on the Channel Resistance.

May need to put in a bug report about this issue...
 
If it's a custom monster made in the editor, did you assign a Value.2 tag to the item when you boostrapped it
 
Actually I did make the creature as a Custom Bestiary race. I have not actually used the Editor yet. I took one look at it, saw that it would not open .por files, and sort of backed off on it. I clearly need to invest time in learning how to use it.


I guess that's the next step. I did look in the Adjust tab, and I did find the Ability Value Modification item and added it. The desired attribute- Channel Resistance, is not listed in the resulting dialog box. There are other items from the portfolio but not this one, which I created as a Defensive Ability.

Thanks for your help guys. The Editor seems like the way to go I suppose. I have to figure out how to get the stuff in my .POR file into a "user" file so I can open it in the editor. Wishing it was XML or something so I could edit it directly.

I am thinking this is a bug really as I don't see any logical reason it should be blocking the Channel Resistance pick. If I get the chance tonight I will put that in because if its not a bug then I can easily add an adjustment to the Basic Pack that will let this work. But I didn't think I needed one as I saw the one LW had added.
 
ShadowChemosh, thank you for your willingness to jump on a bug. I love the friendliness and knowledge of this community. I am not unskilled in scripting, I kind of do this as part of my day job. Generally if I can look at a data file I can figure out how to modify by context and experimentation. So far with my 15 minutes of reading on this I'd have to create the race from scratch in the editor, not really being able to import what I've done in the GUI and just change the one value (that I've seen, yet).

But a bug report sounds great, thank you again.
 
+1 on this.

Was looking at the Lich from The Emerald Spire which has Channel Resistance +8 and can't find a way to raise it to +8 from the base +4...
