How to create the Fighter Weapon Training ability in an Archtype

[kridak]

Hello folks

I am working on making a fighter Archtype to be used with the cleric, sorcerer and Rogue base classes.

The best i have figured out so far is to get weapon training to show up in the primary ability group.

i.e. I made a 5th lvl cleric and chose my Fighter archtype. I was able to figure out how to make the weapon training appear in the Domains list....this is of course messy and even though i get it to work the bonuses for the weapon training are not correct. I had created a 5th level fighter as well so i could make sure they match, and the weapon training bonus should be +1 but my archtype is giving +2 for some reason.

So even though i got this far, it is utterly messy.

What i would really like to know is it possible to get the weapon training from a fighter to show up in the secondary, tertiary or quad ability list?

I can only make it appear in the primary.

Is there anyone who can give me some help on this?

BTW i am not overly familiar with the coding here, so any instructions would be GREATLY appreciated

Thank you very much

Can you think of any other archetypes that grant a class weapon training like a fighter?

(answer: the Magus's Myrmidarch archetype from Ultimate Combat)

Have you tried making a copy of that archetype, to see how it accomplishes things?

Damn i did not know another archtype had that ability...thanks Mathias.

Ok i can make the weapon ability show up in the 2nd ability section.

My problem is the actual bonuses are out of whack.

At 20th level it is showing....

1st weapon - +6 hit and dmg (should be +4)
2nd weapon - +4 hit and dmg (should be +3)
3rd weapon - +2 hit and dmg (this is correct)
4th weappon - +1 hit and dmg (this is correct)

This is the code i used to get the bonuses...it is from the Myrmidarch archtype.

What did i do wrong?



~ Build up a tag expression to identify all weapon training abilities for this class
var expr as string
expr = "wFtrGroup.? & CustTaken." & linkage[varies].idstring

~ First, make sure we have any weapon training abilities for this class. If we don't, there's nothing to do here.
doneif (hero.haschild[BaseCustSp,expr] = 0)

~ Debug "Weapon training is being calculated for " & field[name].text

~ The best bonus available to all weapon training abilities is 1 at 5th level, +1 per 4 levels after that. If we don't have a bonus, we're done.
var bonus as number
bonus = linkage[varies].field[cGiveSp2nd].value
var tagbonus as number

doneif (bonus = 0)

~ Go through all of our weapon training abilities in ascending order, giving a decreasing bonus to each.
foreach pick in hero from BaseCustSp where expr

~ Set the bonus for this ability

eachpick.field[abValue].value += bonus + 1 - (eachpick.field[xIndex].value)

tagbonus = eachpick.field[abValue].value

~ Forward the weapon group tag we're assigned to the class a number of times equal to the bonus we're receiving
if (eachpick.field[abValue].value >= 1) then
var i as number
var wepexpr as string
var bonustag as string
wepexpr = eachpick.tagids[wFtrGroup.?," | "]
bonustag = eachpick.tagids[TrainBonus.?, ""]

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where wepexpr
for i = 1 to tagbonus
perform eachpick.assignstr[bonustag]
next

endif
