Pathfinder Community Packs

[ShadowChemosh]

Thank you! I will report requests and bugs there from now on. I already have account there for another couple of projects I was following.

Great. That works out nice as you will get any feedback then and know when we fix it.

There had been a previous post mentioning an issue #80 (in relation to the Ultimate Psionics items), but I cannot find an issue #80 (either closed or open) on GitHub, am I missing something?

That could have been referencing an issue back when the Pack(s) was still separate downloads and separate GitHub repositories. When I merged together I only moved move the 'open' issues to the Pathfinder Pack. I didn't bring over all the history.

Basically if you having an issue let me know and we can see what needs to be done "now" to fix the issue.

Hey Shadow, I got a notification regarding RGG's Krazy Gragnar's Black Market Magic Items, specifically the Alluring Armor feature.

looks like it's checking to see that it's being worn.

 

[Zaknaefin]

I opened an issue (#78) on GitHub with the issues.

The Armored Blade, Deadly Fist, Feral Heart, and Shielded Blade Soulknife Archetypes are all in the pack, but they are all in-progress with notes about not being fully implemented yet.

Also, there are no alternate favored class bonuses for the core races for Soulknives and the psionic races just have the +1 power point option (beyond the standard 1 hp or 1 skill point).

Thanks for the bug report!

Actually its use script logic from an Adjustment but its a Item Power which has no understanding of a field called pIsOn.

If you turn off the debugging tools you won't get the pop up every time you change something.

I have added this as issue#79.

Thanks! You don't actually need to report in both places. Here on the forums or at GitHub is good.

Ok, I will not double post. I am just a completion-ist

Two Way of the Wicked Player questions

I'm fairly new to both HL and the Community Pack, and just trying to get my head around things. ShadowChemosh will be getting sick of me asking newbie questions.

Page 89 of Knot of Thorns gives characters a +2 skill bonus per level.
and page 91-93 has a bunch of Crimes of the Forsaken that give various benefits.
My questions are have these been included in the community pack material, or do I need to create them individually? And if included, where do I find them in the program?

Thank you to everyone that has built such a wonderful community resource.

I did this adding a Personal Adjustment of +2 Skill Points/Level per class of the PC

and page 91-93 has a bunch of Crimes of the Forsaken that give various benefits.

This are actually in the Traits, as Crimes, you could search for "Category: Crimes" or "Way of the Wicked" and if I remember correctly, the Crimes won't cost you one Trait slot.

As khaoz said. Go the "Personal" tab in HL and put in the adjustment "Skill Points/Level".

Open your character. Press "CTRL-K" to open the "Configure Your Hero" window. Make sure "Way of the Wicked" is check marked. Then go to the "Feats" tab and add a new 'Trait' and at the very top type in "Way of the Wicked" to see all the traits that can be taken.

Hope that helps.

 

[Arjon Smithson]

Thank for that, both of you
I have both of my questions fixed for my character now.

This are actually in the Traits, as Crimes, you could search for "Category: Crimes" or "Way of the Wicked" and if I remember correctly, the Crimes won't cost you one Trait slot.

The Crimes do charge a trait slot, but I just fixed this with an additional trait 'personal adjustment'.

Generally, for a campaign, I make a template.

Pretty much take a base/blank new hero.
Enable/disable sources to taste.

Put in things like extra skill points, additional traits, flaws, hero points whatever...
Set the point buy, starting gold.

Basically everything is set, to what the starting character will have, prior to picking things like attributes, race, class, feats, etc.

Then I just import the 'Template' within whatever campaign folder we're using (I have a folder for each campaign).
The new character has the correct adjustments already in place, without needing to tinker about on a per character basis.

If "Crime" traits are not suppose to cost a trait thats a bug I should fix. I guess I missed that in the book. Sorry!

This is what I do for all my campaigns also. I then distribute this Template.por file with my shadow d20 data set to my players. They can then start from a character that has all the options correctly set for that campaign.

Don't apologise for missing a small issue in the huge task you have done. I take my hat off to you and all the others that have done this enormous job over the years, and you got paid so much for it.

Thanks Ualaa, for the idea. Just getting comfortable with the program at this stage and converting my existing characters over, but I can see how efficient that would be next time we start a game.

So I am reading over the first pdf of the WotW. It says:

Further, every character must choose a crime that landed in them in Branderscar. They were not wrongly imprisoned -- they are guilty of their charge. If you are using the trait system in the Advanced Player’s Guide, choosing this crime counts as one of your traits.

Is my PDF out of date or something? Or where does it say that crime traits don't count against your 2 traits?

I just want to make a note of it in the ticket so that I can point others to it if I get asked. But I can't find it....

 

[Ualaa]

My copy is the same as yours... well the 'Paths to Wickedness: How to Make a Villain' is near the end of the document (page 88, onwards), but has the exact wording you quoted.

 

[Arjon Smithson]

<Rereads his book and shakes his head>

Both you gentleman are correct. Myself and 3 other players had managed to read this incorrectly, and there was ShadowChemosh apologising for a bug that wasn't.

I am sorry - Thank you both for your help (and I did learn a lot more about efficient ways to use HeroLab during the process).

Hi Shadow, I submitted a bug report to LW regarding 2-Handed Fighter's Overhand Chop and Backswing abilities. I letting you know that you should make the same adjustment in your Community Pack. It appears that the benefit for these 2 abilities are added together, when they shouldn't since Overhand Chop should be only for a single-attack actions (2x Str bonus only on 1st attack) and Backswing only for full-attack actions (2x Str bonus on 2nd and subsequent attacks). Further, it seems that this ability is not available as an adjustment unless Community Pack adjustments are loaded. Maybe a meeting of the minds between yourself and LW?

Guess I am going to need more information. I just tried out the adjustment and it seems to be working fine.

Is your issue that I made the adjustment "one" thing instead of two? Cause making it be two different activations for Overhand/Backswing seems pointless. From the point of view of HL they do the exact same thing.

HL has no way of understanding Full-Round vs Standard Action. So I see no use in making two different activation when the script logic is "exactly" the same which is 2x Str damage instead of 1.5x Str. Its up to the player to know if they are making a Full-Attack or a Standard Action attack. Which really only seems to matter at level 6.

Further, it seems that this ability is not available as an adjustment unless Community Pack adjustments are loaded. Maybe a meeting of the minds between yourself and LW?

Sense I made the adjustment to help out the community it makes perfect sense that it only exists in the community Pack. I am totally lost on what your trying to say here?
