Perfect Strike Question

[rgulizia]

I am working on a change to the Monk class and calling it the Coda (from the Image comics). I am replacing Still Mind with Perfect Strike from the Kensai Archetype and I want to replace Arcane Pool with Ki Pool. How can I do this?

Its just a text ability, make a copy and change it from Arcane Pool to Ki Pool

A custom "Archetype" made in the editor would be the easiest method to accomplish this.

I would advise reading the Glossary of Terms and read FAQ#2 for all the places to learn about the editor.

Thank you for the quick replies. However, I can't just make a copy of the Class skill. It's greyed out. I tried just looking at it and it only links to the supplement. Is there a way to simply copy the skill and change arcane pool to ki?

 

[AndrewD2]

Right, you'd just have to copy and paste the information to the new ability.

Is it possible to use a greyed out ability or skill? That would make this much easier. If not, is there a way to find out how it is programmed and copy it to make a new skill?

You can use any Thing from the editor and you can do a "New(Copy)" to see how it works. But if its from a book outside of CORE you can not easily make changes to it without make a whole new Thing.

But your first post says you want to remove "Ki Pool" and add the Arcane Pool. So why not just use an Archetype like I mentioned to "disable" the monks' Ki Pool and then have the Archetype add the Arcane Pool class ability.

If you want Arcane Pool to use Wisdom then just adjust the trkMax field of the arcane pool to remove Int and Add Wisdom. Placing that script on the Archetype would be the easiest method.

Actually, I want to simply change the Perfect Strike ability for Magus using Arcane Pool to a Monk Ability using Ki Pool. I took a look at the Perfect Strike Ability and it is entirely empty. No code to even copy down and emulate. How could I recreate this from scratch? I apologize if I am sounding ignorant of how this works. I just purchased it and I'm trying it out.
