Custom Magic Item Descriptions

[Korlen]

So I didn't know what else to put as the title...

I've noticed something peculiar about a custom magic item.

When I choose an ordinary weapon, like a rapier, and gain abilities that will apply to the weapon (specifically, Fencer from Way of the Wicked), the item's description box adds a line of text, something like "+1 on Attacks of Opportunity from Fencer."

When I build a custom magic rapier, that same text will not appear. (Nor the text from a class ability, bug for brevity's sake, not mentioned here as the solution should apply to both)

What am I missing, please?

Recreating the problem:
Swashbuckler class from Tome of Secrets, Community Repository
Fencer trait from Way of the Wicked

Are you expecting the text from the Fencer trait to appear on a Rapier weapon. Its not a bad idea but its not the standard way to code traits. The idea is that such information appears correctly on the "Specials" tab and this info would get printed or reviewed on the Specials tab.

The only info that is "auto" appended onto a weapon is the Magic abilities you get from a weapon. So like a +1 Keen Rapier would have the keen text. But if you take the "Combat Reflexes" no text is added to every weapon to remind you of the extra AoO's you get...

You could if you wish use Custom Text from my Adjustment addon to append text to the weapon name to remind you. You could also add situational text to your Attack Bonus to add a note that will print to most sheets.

I didn't think to check the Specials. I'll give that a look. I just thought it could appear in the same way things like Holy and Adamantine are described.
