Just purchased HL for Pathfinder, need some help adding a little Bolt Ace homebrew

[nalixor]

Hey guys,

I just purchased HL (Core Pathfinder package + APG, ACG, ARG, UC, UM, UE), and because of some errors or oversights with the Bolt Ace archetype for Gunslinger at the time of printing of the class guide, my GM and I have come to an agreement on an adequate replacement for the oversight of including gunsmith on the bolt ace archetype.

For those not aware, Bolt Ace is a archetype which is basically a gunslinger but with crossbows. However, the archetype still includes gunsmith which gives me a free gun and the gunsmithing feat.

My GM and I have agreed that removing gunsmith and giving me free proficiency with every type of crossbow is an adequate replacement, however I am still very new to HL, and I was wondering if it was possible to do this within the program, and if so, how do I do it?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

This thread includes some basic directions on how to make an archetype and have it replace this or that ability.

The class ability you create and bootstrap to the archetype will be different from the one mentioned there. There isn't a tag that describes "we are a crossbow", the nearest is probably the Bow fighter group, so I would say your ability will need to apply the proficiency tag for each weapon individually. Like so:

PreLevel 10000

perform hero.assign[WepProf.UNIQUEIDOFTHEWEAPONHERE]
perform hero.assign[WepProf.UNIQUEIDOFTHEWEAPONHERE]
perform hero.assign[WepProf.UNIQUEIDOFTHEWEAPONHERE]

To find out what the Unique ID of a weapon is, add a copy of that weapon to a hero, go to "Develop -> Enable Data File Debugging", and then right click on the weapon to copy the unique ID.
