Editor Question: applying a penalty to specific ability based skill checks

[Tordek]

I am working on entering the traits from the Shackled City AP and updating them to PFRPG rules.

The Touched in the Head trait has a -1 penalty for all Wisdom-based skill checks. Is there a cleaner way of applying this than to simply type in each wisdom based skill and apply the penalty individually?

Thanks in advance for the help.

The Wondrous Item circlet of persuasion applies a bonus to all Charisma-based skills. I'd suggest taking at how that's implemented.

IOs that a -1 to Wis or a -1 to the Wis modifer?

Thanks for the help. I am still struggling with finding the right statement to apply a penalty instead of bonus.

What is the penalty equivalent of the statement below.

#competencebonus[each, 3]

This code is embedded in a foreach pick block.

I am trying to apply a -1 penalty to all wisdom based skill checks. I think this penalty does stack.

this is what I used:


foreach pick in hero from BaseSkill
if (eachpick.islinkage[skillattr] = 0) then
~ do nothing
elseif (eachpick.linkage[skillattr].tagis[thingid.aWIS] <> 0) then
eachpick.field[Penalty].value -= 1
endif

That did the trick. Thanks for the help everyone.
