Class Skill Bonus Help

T

talsharien

Well-known member
I am wondering if anyone can help.

I am wanting to amend the way class bonus is applied to class skills for a select number of character class' that I have constructed for my custom rules.

I appreciate that this is a core mechanic and thus I will not be able to edit the file but was wondering if there was anyway of replacing the mechanic.

Optionally I can remove all of the class skills for each custom class and build an eval to adjust the class skill bonus for each class.

Any thoughts
 
Yes lol

+2 bonus to class skills at 1st level, this increases by +1 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter.
 
How does this interact with multiclass? Do you mean that each class adds +2 or more to its own class skills, so if you've got the same class skill from more than one class, you can get more than one bonus, or is the /5 levels a total levels test?

The bonus would be associated with total level at the moment
 
Well if class skills from different classes stacked I would say to make a mechanic with a loop to check all skills that have the Helper.ClassSkill tag and have a value in the ranks field > 0. Then I'd subtract 1 from it, then apply a bonus equal to #totallevelcount[]/5.

If you only want it to work on those classes specifically you could put it in a procedure and then do a procedure call on each class helper so that you only need to edit the code in one place instead of on each class.

Great idea, shall give that a go thanks
 
I used the following to apply this on a class for class basis

post-levels (users) P 10000 Ind 1
#skillbonus[pClassSkl] = round(#totallevelcount[] *.2, 0, -1) - 1

It worked initially and now seems to have stopped, I cannot work out why

Can anybody help
 
pClassSkl is the adjustment for making something a class skill. Perhaps you deleted that pick from the hero? Although I wouldn't think that script would have an effect, looking at the adjustment it alters.

Here is what I would suggest.

Final 21000
Code: 
~ Calculate the skill's class skill bonus
var overbon as number
overbon = 2 + round(#totallevelcount[]/5, 0, -1)

~ Overwrite the existing bonus value with our new calculated bonus.
foreach pick in hero from BaseSkill where "SOMETAGEXPRESSIONTOONLYFINDTHESKILLSYOUWANT"
  eachpick.field[skClsSkBon].value = overbon
  nexteach
 
Had I realized that was a field, that's exactly what I would have done

*tries to remember where he has much more complex code to do something similar*

Hmmm, cant seem to get this to work, HL tells me that skClsSkBon does not exist when I try to direct towards it.
 
Well, it definitely exists on skills, so my guess is that the transition is pointing somewhere else. Could you post what you have?
 
A mechanic would probably be good, unless you wanted to tie it only to certain classes, in which case a series of archetypes might be preferable.
