Bug Report

The Divination talent 'Touchsight' is not counting as a talent learnt.
The talent is learnt fine, except it does not deduct from the number of talents one can learn; it is currently a free talent.
 
Bug Report

The Divination talent 'Touchsight' is not counting as a talent learnt.
The talent is learnt fine, except it does not deduct from the number of talents one can learn; it is currently a free talent.

Touchsight is an alternate divination for the Telekinesis Sphere. The first alternate divination for a given sphere doesn't cost a talent (provided you have that sphere). You can also take up to three of them at no cost, sphere or no sphere, for each instance of Expanded Divinations you have. Does your character have either of those?

I used to simply bootstrap these abilities from the Divination Sphere if the corresponding Sphere was present. But the Diviner's Handbook threw complications into the mix that made that technique infeasible. So now you have to manually add those alternate divinations, at which point the scripts decide whether or not it costs a talent.

Thanks for the updates.

Somewhere along the line, the adjustment for 'Extra Magic Talent' stopped working.
I'm actually using Conjuration, and creating two pets at first level (same issue with only one pet), where I select the Form Talent and then it tells me I've spent one too many Magic Talents.

If I go with Extra Talent, as the feat, it likes the number of talents on the pet.
So I can work around it, by giving the pet an extra feat and selecting Extra Talent with that feat, but there are two issues here.

Thanks for the awesome work.
 
Hedgewitch Bug

As always, thanks for being so responsive to reports, and of course, for creating these in the first place!

One more bug...

When you add Dragonblood Mortal archetype to the Hedgewitch, it is adding the +2 str and +2 con right away at level 1.

It appears from the book (Expanded Options) that it should be at level 17 instead.

Thanks!
 
Follow up...

Following up on the previous bug...

1) Dragonblood Mortal gains a claw attack as a class feature, not a racial one. I believe those claws should still be usable when shapeshifted is activated in the 'In-Play' tab as it is a class feature. From the Alteration sphere: "Alternate sources of physical traits (such as a dragon sorcerer’s ability to grow claws) still function."

2) The claws that are gained are not scaling for size - I am small size and it is still showing a 1d4. The text of the ability says, "...that deal 1d4 damage for a medium creature." I assume that implies that a small or large creature should deal appropriate amounts?


THanks!!!!
 
Thanks, I have logged those and will address them soon.

I am now working on the Enhancer's Handbook. I am open to suggestions for any Enhancement-specific tools or information displays that could be useful on the Enhancement sphere tab.

Well, really I'm open to suggestions for any sphere, it's just that Enhancement is the one I'm currently working on.
 
Entropic Sage bug

Issue with the Admixture Adept Incanter specialization:

I have it selected, and I do already have the Destruction sphere, however I am getting a Pre-Requisite validation error, which is telling me I must have the Destruction sphere....

Thanks!

Edit: It only seems to happen when you select the Admixture Adept before adding the Destruction sphere, though even if you add the sphere afterward, it still keeps giving an error. If you add the destruction sphere first, then add Admixture adept, no error at all.

Question (not sure if its a bug or I just don't know how to do it):

I am taking a level of Hedgewitch at 2nd level with the Entropic Sage archetype. My 1st level class was Incanter and I have the Destruction sphere.

According to the description of the Entropic Sage, if you already have the Destruction sphere, it states that you do not get the Focused Shape drawback and only the Energy Blade talent as a bonus talent.

Herolab is giving me the drawback anyway, and I can't seem to get rid of it. Using the Buyoff Drawback 'talent', it then give me an error that my talents are overspent....?

Thanks!

Edit: I tried to do a workaround by adding +1 Magic Talent Known under the 'Adjust' tab, but it is not actually granting an additional talent, and sitll saying I am overspent. An interesting note on this - in the Sphere Abilities tab it shows 'Overspent (5 of 4)'; along the bottom ribbon where it shows the error description, it says, "Magic Talents: Resource Overspent: 5 of 5."

Minor update for the Shapeshifter's Handbook was posted last night. I had to remove some auto-adds from the Lycanthrope Hunter's Kit because I hadn't realized they were creating additional book dependencies.
 
I've got a portfolio from one of my players, but when I load it, I get this error message:

"Linkage pick 'sopPTalen2' not located for current context
Location: 'eval' script for Thing 'sopTlLfRSn' (Eval Script '#2') near line 5
- - -
Linkage pick 'sopPTalen2' not located for current context
Location: 'eval' script for Thing 'sopTlLfRSn' (Eval Script '#2') near line 5"

What does it tell me?

What does it tell me?

It tells you that I'm still not done with my Exterminatus on the usage of linkages.

For a quick fix, open the Restore Senses talent in the editor; the file is "DDS_SpheresOfPower - Spheres.user". Set the "2nd modified talent" to Cure, compile and reload.

I'll have a proper fix in the next release, which will come out right before the Enhancer's Handbook.
 
Any reason, why I should use second modified talent, if the first one isn't used?

Just because that's what the code refers to and therefore it's the quickest way to fix it. But for what it's worth, here's the revised code I'll be including in the next update:

Code:
hero.childfound[sopTlLfCur].field[CustDesc].text &= "{br}{br}{b}" & field[thingname].text & ":{/b} Restore lost senses to the target, including special senses like Blindsight or Tremorsense"

Since that explicitly refers to the Cure talent's ID, it doesn't use a linkage.
 
Version 1.23 for core has been posted. Patch notes here, but the fun part is this: Enhancement users with the Animate Objects talent can now add Animated Object minions through the Enhancement tab. When the Enhancer's Handbook comes out (which will be soon as I'm giving it to DDS today), those minions will automatically receive the benefits of the various feats and such that apply upgrades to Animated Objects.

Bugfix updates were also posted for Expanded Options and the Destroyer's Handbook to address some of the bugs brought up in this thread.
 
Getting some errors that I haven't been able to get past:

Code:
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.

Any ideas? This is a fresh install of all the latest version of all the Spheres of Power files. Have updated source.
