Diety modification issue using Editor (Gods and Magic)

Deity modification issue using Editor (Gods and Magic)

I have purchased a supplement that has Gods and Magic. I have noticed, at the very least, that it doesn't provide weapon proficiency with longbow and shortbow for clerics and druids that worship Erastil. While it would be nice to have this implemented, I am enjoying figuring things out in the editor. I have added created a new data file and created a new Deity to use until this gets resolved officially. I have used these Tags:

Group ID:WepProf
Tag ID:wLongbow
Name:Longbow
Abbrev:Longbow

Group ID:WepProf
Tag ID:wShortbow
Name:Shortbow
Abbrev:Shortbow

I am clearly missing something else because it is not showing up for a druid I have made. Well, when I go to purchase weapons they show as not being proficient. I have made sure that my sources are selected in the Configure Hero screen.

All that being said, does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? If I am leaving anything out, please tell me as I am new to this. I don't know exactly what you might need to help me along.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Note that only Clerics, not Druids, have a class special that allows them to gain proficiency in their deity's favored weapon. Also, Erastil's favored weapon is the longbow - not all bows.

I just tested it, and a Cleric of Erastil is proficient with the longbow.

ShadowChemosh - I am not running any scripts. I have only setup what I indicated in my first post.

Mathias - Below is a direct copy from Gods and Magic.

Erastil’s clerics and druids are proficient with the
shortbow and the longbow (and the composite versions
of each). Paladins may use their smite evil ability with
melee or ranged weapon attacks. Clerics, paladins, and
rangers may prepare goodberry as a 2nd-level spell, and
druids can cast the spell on nuts as well as berries.
Clerics and paladins may cast animal messenger as a 2ndlevel
spell, and all priests may use that spell on any nonhostile
animal (including friendly guard animals and
domesticated animals).

Oh, and thanks to both of you for replying so soon.
 
Since Gods & Magic was printed, there have been 3 updated versions of Erastil - in the Core Rulebook, the Inner Sea World Guide, and in Faiths of Purity. That rule existed in 3.5, but it was not carried forward into the Pathfinder version of Erastil.

The simple way to house rule this is to use the "Weapon Proficiency" adjustment from the Permanent Adjustments table on the Personal tab.

For a more permanent house rule, on the Deity tab in the editor, you can make a copy of Erastil. As you're selecting that option from the list, copy down the Id of the existing version - it's in parentheses, then type that Id into the "Replaces Thing Id" box on the right-hand side - now, the deity you're creating is a replacement for the existing version of Erastil. For Clerics, giving them shortbow proficiency is simple - just press the Favored Weapons button and add Shortbow, in addition to the Longbow that's already selected.

Since Druids don't have the "Deity's Favored Weapon" ability that clerics have, and you don't want to give other druids their deity's favored weapon, you'll need an Eval Script to apply that proficiency for a druid.

So, on your replacement deity, press the Eval Scripts button, and add a new script. First should be a good choice for phase, and 10000 for Priority.

First, you'll need to figure out whether the character is a druid or not - so we'll see if the character has at least one level in that class, then if so, we'll assign longbow and shortbow weapon proficiencies to the hero:

Code: 
if (#levelcount[Druid] > 0) then
  perform hero.assign[WepProf.wLongbow]
  perform hero.assign[WepProf.wShortbow]
  endif
 
Hello, I use Hero lab with the option Gods and magic but it seems that cleric hasn't the bonus spell like "flame blade" for Sarenrae. Is it an error or not ?

PS : english is not my native language and I beg your pardon for all the faults that I can make.

Gods and magic problem

When I check off the option gods and magic in Hero lab, the optionnal spell for cleric doesn't appear in the spell list as flame blade for sarenrae's cleric. Is it an error or not ?
 
What I said earlier for the Erastil issue applies here, too. It's my opinion that while that was the case for characters in 3.5, the more recent, Pathfinder-specific printings of Sarenrae do not include this spell as a benefit, so this rule is not currently part of the game system

sorry to dig up this subject but:
In the Gods of the inner sea (2014) you can read:
Erastil's favored weapon is the longbow, but his clerics and druids are proficient with the shortbow as well​
and
in the rivers run red article:
Erastil is lawful good and his domains are farming,
hunting, trade, and family. His weapon is the longbow (his
clerics and druids are proficient with both the longbow and
shortbow)​

this should be updated in herolab imho :)
