Elemental Empowerment

[MagicSN]

Hello!

When I make a Genasi Wizard with Elemental Empowerment, Hero Labs calculates my Damage Bonus as the Strength Modifier including Level/2, while the online Tool from the D&D people does not include the Strength Modifier.

Who is right? The wording is a bit unclear in the feat. So, anyone knows what is inteded? Up to now I always assumed it does NOT include Level/2. On the other hand on some site with a formula "How to calculate your Ability Modifier" they included the Level/2 like Hero Lab does.

Attached you find a User file which adds a feat called "Elemental Empowerment II" which does the calculation correctly (I looked a bit into the scripting language of Hero Lab myselves ^^). I just cannot overwrite the old one or remove it, which is why I called the correct one "Elemental Empowerment II".

Forgot the attachment. Here it is. This is the script code behind it BTW:


var bonus as number
bonus = hero.child[attrStr].field[attrBonus].value-round(hero.tagvalue[Level.?]/2,0,-1)
var types as string
types = "(DamageType.Acid | DamageType.Cold | DamageType.Fire | DamageType.Lightning | DamageType.Thunder)"
foreach pick in hero from Power where "PowerClass.clsWizard & " & types
perform eachpick.field[pwDamBonus].modify[+,bonus,""]
nexteach


Basically I remove the level/2 which is added by mistake again. If they ever change the code be careful that it is not removed twice ^^

bonus = hero.child[attrStr].field[attrBonus].value-round(hero.tagvalue[Level.?]/2,0,-1)

You can do this more directly by changing the bonus line to:

bonus = #attrbasebonus[attrStr]

#attrbasebonus just uses the attribute base bonus without the level/2. #attrbasebonus is a macro that expands to to hero.child[#attr].field[attrBnBase].value replacing #attr with the 1st parameter.

Thanks again. Fixed/changed version:

Hello!

When I noticed that "School of Magic Apprentice" is not properly implemented (you cannot choose a school) I implemented the "Pyromancy Apprentice" as a separate Feat and also included this to the (also fire themed) Emp.user file. I only implemented the "basic" Apprentice Feat, not Expert/Master and none of the other schools.

The file now includes both the "Pyromancy Apprentice" and the fixed Elemental Empowerment (II).
