Issue with Admixture Savant (Elementalist Archetype)

The Admixture Savant archetype for the Elementalist doesn't seem to be bootstrapping the Admixture talent properly at 2nd level.

The talent disappears from the list of available talents as soon as the archetype is added (even if you aren't 2nd level yet) and even after hitting level 2, 3, ... etc. It never shows up as a talent you have on your hero.
 
I stopped using the download file entirely. I have a notepad file with the uSoP, SoM, and CotS links (I got tired of digging through my readmes) and just add those when I do a fresh install. I can't think of anything else that I could suggest :(
 
Spheres of Might issue: I'm having an issue with the Animal Companion talent under Beastmastery. The first time you take it, you get a companion equal to your level-3 (minimum 1) It's not enforcing the minimum. I either have to be 4th level to get the 1st level companion, or take it a second time to get a full lvl companion. I'm not seeing anywhere showing a minimum level to take the talent.
 
If the companion is level -4 (to a minimum of 1)
You'd have to be 4th for that logic to work.
Unless you can take the talent only once, at say level 2 and have an animal with 1/2 HD?

Taking the talent a second time is a HD per your level.
Which seems to be working correctly, unless I misunderstand you.

Potentially in the first case, you should be able to take the talent only once and at level 2.
And still get a 1 HD companion, as the minimum is 1.

That's how I read it working, personally. I'll send a msg on the Drop Dead discord to ask for clarification on that.

Ok, I've checked on discord and the rules moderator did confirm did say that taking it before lvl 4 still left you with a companion with the stats of a 1st level druid until you hit level 5 and it leveled up to 2.
 
Hey, I noticed that animal companion bug a really long time ago, and completely forgot until now. Thanks for the reminder!

We're still gonna be a few weeks out from the release of the General's Handbook, but I'm going to be tidying up the bugfix'n'updates patches through this weekend to release by Feb 1st. So count that I'm working my way through the last couple pages of this thread, but if there are other bugs unmentioned or seeming forgotten, now's a good time to let me know. :)
 
There's not a plan in place for it, but it's something I'd like to do when I get to that point. I think the standing backlog makes it unrealistic for me to have anything useful to tell you about that, unfortunately.

Also, Warstroke, I missed you last time: Jester's Handbook is fairly far down on the list, so it'll be a while. If there's something specific you're looking to have from that book, let me know & I can likely help you out.
 
I asked Adam during the Kickstarter, and he said that he didn't want to have it as a stretch goal because he feels bad that it generally takes so long for the HL files to come out after the Kickstarter finishes.

But he also said that it was a safe bet that there would be HL files for Spheres of Guile at some point.
 
Makes sense. It DOES tend to take a while for the HL files to come out. if I'm not 'expecting' them, then I don't get impatient :p
 
BUG REPORT - Ultimate Spheres of Power
Sphere: Telekinesis
Talent: Telekinetic Maneuver
Problem. It is not calculating the CMB correctly. I have created an Incanter with a sphere specialty of Telekinesis. I have an INT of 20, giving me a +5 modifier. The USoP talent states that the CMB is Caster Level + Attribute Modifier. I'm getting a +2 total, which is solely the caster level (base level 1, +1 for spec) I suspect it is including a -5, which was standard for the original SoP and in the update those formulas were removed.
 
Alright, bug fixes done & updates should be live for in-app download! I worked through what I saw people mention in the thread between when I took over and now. Let me know if you have any questions or come across more bugs. One note though:

I also occasionally get a bug where a bound weapon says it has a power not allowed for bound equipment no matter what power is selected (even flaming, for example). I can't replicate it on purpose, but once it happens nothing seems to fix it except deleting the weapon and making a new one.

This is probably an error the HL engine is producing, and not something I'll be able to deal with myself. That said, next time you come across it, save the portfolio & send it to me, then I can say for sure.

In the meantime, I'm back to hammering away on General's Handbook :)
 
You're awesome! I downloaded all the updates, and the 2 of the ones I've pointed out I DID confirm as fixed (THANK YOU!!!) However, HL is still saying I need to update the files. probably no big, since the updated files ARE downloaded. This has happened before and the previous writer just had to change something in the xml in order to fix it.
 
I used the links from the readme for updating those files. But it's giving me an error, saying that the updates for Spheres of Might and Spheres of Power are both older than the versions I already have installed, and that if I install them, I might break any .por files I have.

I cancelled, in order to post here and find out if you're aware of that problem.
 
On another topic, will the other books like the Initiate's Handbook, the Highlander's Handbook etc. eventually be done?
 
Can you provide a screencap of those errors for me Aril, and the dialog asvaldson? I did update the XML files, but I might have missed something.

As far as what's coming, here's my to-do list as of September; books in the right-hand column were not on the list I was given by Adam, but I'm pretty sure at least ExOp2 & Treasures were supposed to be. Everything left-hand is definitely coming someday, though no promises on it being in that order. :)
 
Sure....here's the error I get when trying to install the update for Ultimate Spheres of Power.
