New Race

[lunistg]

For a pathfinder game which started before i had access to Herolab, a player had a character who's race was ported over from DnD 3.5 with minor adjustments. I wish to put this character into hero lab but can not find which tab/option in the editor would let me give the +5 to perception and +5 to acrobatics.

the race's full adjustments are:

-3 strength +4 dexterity
Bonus feat: Weapon finesse
+5 perception +5 acrobatics (in dnd this was a +5 to jump, listen and spot)

(dnd version also had ability to use dex instead of str for jump but that was dropped as redundant)


Attempted to code it with eval script but keep getting an error message of test. here is my script:

~ +5 to perception and jump checks
#skillbonus[skacrobatics] += 5
#skillbonus[skperception] += 5

the error says:

Herolab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:
Syntax error in 'eval' script for 'tmbunny' (Eval Script '#1') on line 2
-> Invalid id specified for thing

EDIT:
fixed it, thank you everyone!

In the editor, click the help menu at the top, and choose "Help On Using the Editor".

Tutorial #7 is what you're looking for - the skills section there disusses skill bonuses.

To build upon what Mathias said is that Eval scripts are CASE sensitive for the ID of things. You can find the Correct ID of things by pressing the FIND button while editing a script.

Otherwise the script you have is the correct way to code a bonus to a skill.

Also, what's inside the [] will never be longer than 10 characters.
