level-specific spell-like ability shows up all the time

[eldamir]

Hi. I have a character using a homebrew ( https://mfov.magehandpress.com/2016/06/brother-of-sunlight.html ) Paladin Oath.
The Level 20 feature allows the character to cast Sunbeam 1/LR.

I've added Sunbeam to the Zenith Class Special as a Spell-like Ability, but now it shows in the character sheet regardless of the character's level.
In the Custom Ability 'Brother of Sunlight', I've got 'Zenith' set to be gained at Lvl 20, so not sure what I'm missing.

It seems to me that when you bootstrap spells like that to an ability, they don't inherit the "hidden" tags from where your ability isn't activated by your level.

You can add a conditional to the spell to fix it.

When you go into your special ability and hit the Bootstrap button you should see the spell Sunbeam in the items bootstrapped to the ability. Next to that item is a button for condition, if you click that you can add the following condition:

Phase: First Priority: 2500
count:Classes.? >= 20

If you want to move the 1/long rest to the spell to show up clear on the spells tab I would also hit the fields button on the spell and put in a field trkMax with a value of 1 and then hit the tags button on the spell and add the tags:
Usage LongRest
Helper SpellLike

Perfect! That's got exactly what I needed, except that I used 'count:Classes.Paladin >= 20' which seems to work too.

The Classes.Paladin one works better for this case. If you leave it with the ?, it’ll activate whenever you have a total of 20 levels in any class, not just Paladin.
