Racial Specials

[Mergon]

I am not sure if this working correctly or not. If not I'll have to report it as a bug.

On the Racial Specials tab, there is a check box for 'Show on Specials tab'.

The is also a checkbox for 'Show in Activated Abilities List'?

What I am wondering is if you uncheck 'Show on Specials tab' and have 'Show in Activated Abilities List checked along with text in the Activation Name box, should that text still show up in the Activated Abilities list?

As it is I have a bootstrap for a Flight ability that is activated from the Activated Abilities tab. How ever the name of the bootstrap also shows up in Specials as well as the Flight ability when I activate it. If I uncheck 'Show on Specials tab' everythign disappears . . .

As you have seen the simple answer is 'no' it won't appear without the Helper.ShowSpec tag (ie "Show on Specials Tab"). This is the same in Pathfinder a due to a resent change I did its the same in d20 now.

So at least its consistent across all the d20 stuff.

Very irritating. I don't suppose, magician that you are, you've come up with a work around for it?

LOL in this case I can't. The "list" section of the background scripts are looking for Helper.ShowSpec & User.Activate. Without both tags on the Pick it simply will not appear.

Of course Aaron is going to show up and mention how if you use this special secret tag/procedure/field that he put into Pathfinder then it will work. He does love to ninja me allot!

By the way, I don't suppose you know what the Custom Expression would be to get a list of the following elements (cold, fire, lightning, and poison)?

Everything except Poison. How is that an element?

We would need to add a new selection helper for Poison I only did the base 5 elements so far. Open the COM_5ePack - Helper Things.user
file and look at the zCommunity->Selection Helpers tab to see what we have and should help you add another new one for poison.

I'm trying to get a drop down to select one of those items as a resistance. I might be better just to go with an array though.

Interesting. I just noticed the zCommunity tab early. Has it always been there or it something that came out with 5e Community Pack v1.2?

It is something that came out with 5e Community Pack and more precisely from ShadowChemosh

Wait is elemental types or resistances? I thought you originally wanted Elemental Types like I added to the "Elemental Adept" feat for selection. But then you mention resistances. Going to assume resistances is correct.

These all are stored as Damage Types in 5e I learned actually. These also only exist as Things and not as Picks. So you need to set your selection to "All Things" then use this:

component.DamageType & (DamageRes.dtCold|DamageRes.dtFire|DamageRes.dtLightnin|DamageRes.dtPoison)

Thanks again ShadowChemosh.

I've finally started doing what I should have doen a logn tiem ago, recording all these pointers in a word document for future re-use . . .
