Chant of Fortitude vs Adj Tab

Looking at the Chant of Fortitude (from complete Adventurer) it has a pre-requisite of 9 ranks in a perform and in concentration...

However, I have a player that has a permanent adjustment of 2 ranks that increases the score in concentration that shows up in the skill for concentration, but this feat seems to ignore that permanent adjustment.

I first thought this may be related to racial modifiers, etc that ranks are elevated by AFTER as adjustments or a synergy that I was missing.

SO I created a 7th level temp Bard PC with all tens in the attributes so not to skew anything else.

Selected the Chant of Fortitude feat, Created a permanent adjustment in the Adj Tab increasing the concentration by 2, and then put 7 skill points in concentration and 9 in Perform: Sing, No other assigned skill points so as to be sure there wasn't some form of hidden synergy sneaking in, And still no luck. Yet when I add two more points in concentration, the feat is available. So is seems to not see the permanent adjustment.

Is it possible this a timing issue? I looked at the feat in the CA user file, and there doesn't seem to be an eval script to set the timing for the feat.

So I guess my question is: do adjustments made on the adjust tab under permanent get executed before the evaluation of skills and feats?
 
I don't see a Skill Ranks adjustment in d20 either CORE or Community. Assuming your talking about the Skill Bonus adjustment it does not provide rank only a bonus. So it would not meet any pre-req's then.

For information evaluation of pre-reqs happens AFTER all other scripts have fired.
 
:oYes, Shadow, your assumption is correct, I "mislabeled".:o

Is there a way to have HL execute that permanent adjustment script earlier via a modified version of Skill Bonus and use Replaces Thing ID? Reasoning is if this is a permanent adjustment, I would think the timing would be before other scripts evaluate. And IF possible, would that inadvertently create a new series of problems?

I would just make a "new" adjustment called "Skill Ranks" and make it a copy of "Skill Bonus".

Then add these two scripts:

phase="Final" priority="5000"
Code: 
      [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]~ If we're not enabled, get out now[/COLOR][/B]
      doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

      [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]~ Give Skill Ranks that can be tested by a Pre-Req[/COLOR][/B]
      field[pChosen].chosen.field[kUserRanks].value += field[pAdjust].value

phase="First" priority="10000"
Code: 
      [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]~ If we're not enabled, get out now[/COLOR][/B]
      doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)

      [B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]~ Add to our chosen skill[/COLOR][/B]
      field[pChosen].chosen.field[kExtRanks].value += field[pAdjust].value

I have added a note in the TO-DO list to work on a better way to give skill ranks from external scripts. But the above does work for now.
