Community Created 3.5 D&D data set....

[Sendric]

Technically, that's a core issue, but I'll see if I can work with Shadow to have that done for the next release of either the community set or the core package.

After I complete the work for the Incarnate and Soulborn classes, I will update the SRD Psionic power descriptions which will be included in the next core d20 release.

 

[Katalia]

No problem. By the way, I've started this process. It won't take me months like the Totemist did. Also, since many of the soulmelds for the Incarnate also work for the Soulborn, I'm going to add both classes. Should hopefully have both done in a week or two.

Yay!! Thank you so much, Sendric! I'm almost done building out my character, and our campaign starts next month, so this will make things a lot easier. I appreciate the effort you are putting into it!!

 

[Sendric]

FYI,

After I finish the work on the Incarnate and Soulborn classes, I plan on putting out a new release for the community set. (Katalia, if your game starts before that happens, let me know and I can send you a pre-release).

After that release, my ability to continue working on this project may become limited. I'll do what I can, but I can't make any promises on how much gets done or how quickly.

Thank you! We are thinking about the second week of Feb at this point, but I will definitely let you know if that changes. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this, Sendric.

Thanks so much Sendric and the rest of the community for releasing these additional files -I used them to great effect running my characters and NPCs, as a player and DM both. The Eberron releases had come just in time for my twin campaigns in Eberron and Sharn in particular.

I understand that your time is becoming limited, but if I may suggest some additions shamelessly for two character concepts I have been dying to transport to Hero Lab from Paper Lab:

Level Adjustment Buyback. Unearthed Arcana
Unseelie Fey (template). Dragon Magazine 304
Arctic (template). Dragon Magazine 306
Wild Reaper (Druid Variant Class). Dragon Magazone 311 pg 55
Incarnate Construct (template). Savage Species

The first four were for a NE Uldra Druid that I ran to great effect in a campaign we ran in Kuwait passing the time on a deployment and would like to keep archived electronically for future use, and the last is for that character's antithesis: another template stacking build whereas the -2 from Incarnate Construct would be applied to the eligible Warforged race and be balanced to neutral ECL by the +2 of a Saint template as a NG or CG Favored Soul of the Sovereign Host -which I was so pleased to see three out of four (Warforged, Saint, Favored Soul) already exist in the community pack.

Not a demand or anything ^_^ (if I really want it, I may as well trudge into the nightmare of the creator and plug it in myself...), and thanks for keeping the 3.5 flame alive so long through PF/4E/5E -it's good to go back to the version I grew up in (and thus am shamelessly biased towards).

P.S. Has anyone thought about transplanting the Gestalt Mod from PFs Hero Lab community into the 3.5E? Heck, it's only flaw is only 20 levels of support.

P.S. Has anyone thought about transplanting the Gestalt Mod from PFs Hero Lab community into the 3.5E? Heck, it's only flaw is only 20 levels of support.

As the person who wrote that mod and now maintains the d20 stuff I can tell you it won't come over easily at all.

As Gestalt is part of the SRD content I do want to get to the point of adding that feature into the CORE of d20. Its still a little down the road though because I need to still get some of the "base" features of d20 in like Deities for example.

 

[Avarice]

As the person who wrote that mod and now maintains the d20 stuff I can tell you it won't come over easily at all.

No worries; I'm just grateful for the wonderful content you provided -the only thing I would ever House-Rule over from 3.5 is Gestalt seeing as how PF has spread its wings and kept on trucking on the goodness of D20.

Following the APs it while soloing RotRL can take you to 20, with PFs progression system, getting past 25 becomes an astronomical ordeal... I simulated soloing the first 15 APs on medium advancement based on expected party level at the end of each AP and was still on level 25 (I think it took 11-12 to get to even get to Level 25, and that bump came from the other big AP: WotR)! PF was simply not meant to be played past 20th level because of the doubling level increments at 21 and above so unlimited gestalt I suppose is just further scratching out pipe dreams.

Thanks again Sendric and ShadowChemosh for enabling this munchkin's researching fun builds for feasibility across d20 and PF. Still... 25 levels of gestalt would still enable Base 20, Base 20, Prestige 10 levels scrambled together for an end-all, be-all character.

Level Adjustment Buyback. Unearthed Arcana

I vaguely recall someone mentioning this previously. If me memory serves (which is debatable), I think I looked into it and found that users can already pretty much do this with the Level Adjustment adjustment currently in the d20 set, and then manually paying the cost through the journal. If you don't see this adjustment, turn on "Toby's Custom Stuff" in your hero configure window. If you still don't see it, then it will be included in the upcoming release.

Unseelie Fey (template). Dragon Magazine 304
Arctic (template). Dragon Magazine 306
Wild Reaper (Druid Variant Class). Dragon Magazone 311 pg 55
Incarnate Construct (template). Savage Species

I will add these to the list of requests. If any of them are particularly easy, I'll try to throw them in before the next release.

 

[Avarice]

Oh, thx for the sweet gestalt add-on for the PF side -it's enabled me and a friend to run two-character campaigns in the APs. Most powerful side-rule I have ever encountered in tabletop RPGs. Done right, a Gestalt character can solo APs, and that's how I've been experimenting, and have found out that its IMPOSSIBLE to get to L26 using APs and Modules from Paizo. The doubling runs away.

Yeah, I still can't configure it even with Toby's stuff plugged in. At the time, me and my DM just resolved to pay off the 3K XP on my printed character sheet:

3 Class Levels necessary for a +1 ECL Uldra = 4th Level Minimum.
Price is paid as soon as PC hits eligibility. I basically threw my next 3K XP into this.
Buyback cost is (Current ECL -1) x 1000XP. (4-1)x1000=3000XP

It gets even more convoluted if one had a higher ECL, the most ECL one can still buyback to +0 ECL within 20 level progression is +3 ECL, reduced at Levels 9, 15, and 18. But +1, you can only be perpetually 3K XP behind the group as opposed to dealing with the incremental increased per level.

Actually the 'Component' for Deities is already in place and so is the Editor Tab. In matter of fact Sendric has been testing it for me. No UI exists yet so you can't select a deity in HL. Which is the part that still needs work. So progress.

 

[Aaron]

UI is hard to get right, and a lot of it has to do with what you personally find functional and aesthetically pleasing. Oftentimes the boss' or the community at large's opinions on that can conflict with your own, which can be a bitter pill to swallow.

[Sendric]

Note that I have uploaded a minor patch to 1.17. If you have already downloaded 1.17, you will not get a message that a new update is available. However, if you re-download it, you will get the change.

 

[Katalia]

Thank you so, so much, Sendric!! You are amazing!! ^_^

 

[Illyahr]

I find myself with more 3.5 books and a lot of free time. As I have gotten really bored again, I'm thinking of inputting some of the missing PrC's and feats from MoI, C Arcane, C Adventurer, C Warrior, C Divine, and ToM. That be OK? My ADD puts me in a programming mood.

It's absolutely fine. Go nuts. I won't be doing anything for a little bit, so there shouldn't be any overlapping. When you're done, send me the files via email, and I'll get it all integrated. Thanks!

Hey, everybody! I am a firs time poster and I was curious about something. My DM asked me to update everyone's PC sheets to Hero Lab, because let's face it, it's incredible. However, the first one I am working on is a Sorcerer/Dragonheart Mage. I have downloaded the community pack 1.17 and have Races of the Dragon checked in my options, but I do not see the PrC in the list for when I get him to the proper level. Can someone point me in the right direction for that if it even exists yet?

Also, the link I am using for the community downloads is the following URL:

http://www.shadowsoftware.net/herolab/d20/updates.xml

I just want to make sure I am using the correct link for updates and whatnot.

Thanks so much for your help.

The Dragonheart Mage PrC is not added to Races of the Dragon. I will add it to my to do list if you need it for your games.

For some reason my user files have some massive conflicts. I first noticed a little while ago when I noticed that I was missing the content from the most recent update.

I manually forced an update and was faced with a deluge of.. complaints from the compiler about duplicate entries.

The data files could not be loaded due to errors. Hero Lab will now attempt to load them in recovery mode. Once loaded, you can access the editor as normal to correct any errors.

Not sure why hero labs didnt even tell me an update was available (i thought i already updated, but I guess not). I am not sure what is going on, normally I only receive warnings about files that I have worked on or conflicts with my user files, I've never worked with Universal Specials, nor the core books that used to contain the types and subtypes.

Any thoughts?
