Create Scaling Items

I want to create an item using the scaling item rules from unchained. Of course to add it to a character.
 
I contacted support regarding unchained rules before buying the package, as i had problems with ultimate combat rules. They confirmed that all rules can be used on ipad. As far as i know there is no editor on ipad or did i miss something?
But thanks for trying to help me.
 
No the editor is on a Mac/PC. You cannot create the custom items on the iPad itself. The mechanics work, but unless you make stuff on a computer and transfer it you can just use what is included on your iPad
 
Okay, so if there is no way to create the item on ipad i would not say that all rules are supported and the support lied to sell the package.

Edit: just checked the response, they said everything works except monster creation rules.

Edit2: But thanks for answering my question i really appreciate your efforts.

Hi Xorez,

The editor, along with GM functionality like the tactical console, isn't currently supported on the iPad - you can create new items on your windows or mac computer, then move them to your iPad to be used. If that's a deal-breaker for you, we have a 60-day return policy you're more than welcome to take advantage of.

Hope this helps, and sorry for the confusion!
 
Hello Colen,

my problem is less that i want my many back or that the feature is not working in itself. Its that i asked support before buying and have been lied to.
To be more precise. I asked about the armor DR rules from ultimate combat, as they don't seem to work on ipad. The support answered that its on the list but not working at the moment. That's fine. So i responded and asked about unchained rules on ipad.
Thinks like that can happen, but it made angry yesterday and still doesn't feel good.

But thanks for your reply.
 
Hi Xorez,

The rules from Pathfinder Unchained are implemented and working on the iPad - for example, on my iPad I can make an Unchained Rogue character, or add a Scaling Item, or use some of the variants like the "staggered advancement" rules.

The limitation of the iPad is that the editor isn't present, so new content of any type can't be created, whether it's related to Pathfinder Unchained or not. I understand that you want to create an item using the rules from Unchained on the iPad, but the fact that you can't does *not* mean that Pathfinder Unchained isn't supported on the iPad.
 
I want to jump in here and make sure Colen and Xorez are on the same page. Xorez all the Unchained Rules are in HL and the iPad. What I mean by this is that if you wanted to add the "specific" Scaling Magic item "Armageddon Plate" you can do this right now on the iPad.

But the ability to make "new" specific scaling magic items that are custom to your groups game requires the editor. This is no different than needing to use the editor to make any "specific" custom magic item. In example if I wanted to make a new weapon called 'Shadow's Greatsword of Death' that does +1d12 Shadow damage. I would need to use the editor to make such an item which only exists on Windows/Mac. I can then make a .hl file and transfer the item to the iPad for use with my characters.

Just trying to make sure you are both on the same page about the issue. :)
 
To condense slightly what shadow is saying.

The material (feats, items, archetypes, etc.) in the book is considered rules.

The crafting of none existing material (including items) is considered homebrew. (they just supplied rules (or better said recommended guide lines for the gm) on how it is done. for balance reasons)
