Requesting help with adding class special ability to custom class

Hi everyone, I’m trying to add a class special ability (unique ID cBLoAdaDri) to a custom class, and am having trouble figuring out how to do it. The ability is available only at class level 12, and is similar in design to barbarian’s rage power. I figured that I could figure it out by looking at the barbarian in the editor, and see how it was done there. I found a rage power called Clear Mind, which was only able to be selected by an 8th level barbarian. I saw a field in the Clear Mind thing called reqLevBbn and a value of 8.

So, if my class can only pick my special ability at level 12, and my Unique ID for the class is BLo, I tried creating a field in the ability called reqLevBLo, with a value of 12.

Unfortunately, I got the error message “classes.user (line 453) – thing ‘cBLoAdaDri’-field ‘reqLevBLo’ referenced but not defined.”

Anyone know what I did wrong?
 
The fields on picks for minimum level only include those classes in the program from paizo. If you want a minimum level in your new class for a custom special, add an expr-req to that custom special which uses the #custspeciallevelcount macro:

#custspeciallevelcount[XXX] >= 8

XXX being the ID of the Classes tag for your new class.

Thanks Aaron, when I enter this macro into expr-req, I get an error message: Syntax error in 'pre-requisite rule' script for thing 'cBLoAdaDri' on line 1 -> Tag 'Classes.BLo' not defined.

What next?

I think I'm up to a billion thanks now...:o
 
You've got the wrong tag ID.

If you haven't already, go to "Develop -> Data File Debugging". Add a level of your class to a test character. Go to "Develop -> Floating Info Windows -> Show Hero Tags". That pops up a window with all the tags on the hero context. There is a Filter Box in the upper left, so enter "Classes" there to pare the list down. The Tag ID is in the 2nd column.
