Spellsword?

Ok, I got some of the basic stuff in, but where do you add the pre-requirements? And, what are the attacks & saves (good, med, bad) for Prestige Classes.
 
Ok, I got the pre reqs in, (this is not easy, lol). Any good ideas for the class abilites? I have been looking at the other classes data and have been copy/paste what I can. Classes are very hard if you have no idea what you are doing, lol.
 
Ok, running into all kinds of problems here, first, I did read the Tutorials for adding a class, and it's very hard to get through. IDK - Is there an easier way to add a custom class or explained at a non-programer level. I know all the errors are "user error", but is there a link some where to help? I have everything in but the Class Abilities and they seem the hardest to do. Well, thank you for all your hard work on this and any help you can give.
 
I'm happy to answer specific questions, but the best general advice I can give is to study what's come before. Think of a class ability or feat, or something that works like what you want to accomplish, and use that as a starting point.
 
Thank you, I have been looking, and it's tough, but I'll work through it. I don't want to take up to much of your time with this, but can you help with the "+1 level of existing spellcasting class" I copied from another class, and it works, but this class has the +1 at differant levels: (2,3,5,6,8,9,10) so I thought I did it corrct. But it gave it out a each level.


<arrayval field="cSpell" index="0" value="+1 level of existing spellcasting class"/>
<arrayval field="cSpell" index="1" value="+1 level of existing spellcasting class"/>
<arrayval field="cSpell" index="2" value="+1 level of existing spellcasting class"/>
<arrayval field="cSpell" index="3" value="+1 level of existing spellcasting class"/>
<arrayval field="cSpell" index="4" value="+1 level of existing spellcasting class"/>
<arrayval field="cSpell" index="5" value="+1 level of existing spellcasting class"/>
<arrayval field="cSpell" index="6" value="+1 level of existing spellcasting class"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="0" value="2"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="1" value="3"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="2" value="5"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="3" value="6"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="4" value="8"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="5" value="9"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="6" value="10"/>
 
Delete the cSpell stuff completely - you must have copied this from something d20, since in Pathfinder, cSpell is calculated for you.

The index field +1 is the level the increase happens at (index="0" is level 1, index="1" is level 2, and so on).
The value field is the total number of increases that have been gained to that point.
So, for (2,3,5,6,8,9,10), use this:

<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="1" value="1"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="2" value="2"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="4" value="3"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="5" value="4"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="7" value="5"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="8" value="6"/>
<arrayval field="cMagLevTot" index="9" value="7"/>

I also highly recommend using the editor instead of editint the XML until you're very experienced at creating content for HeroLab. The additional magic levels array is much easier to understand when seen there, and there's an info mousover that tells you that index+1 = level.

You can open two copies of HL at once (as long as you're not in demo mode). So, open d20 in one copy and Pathfinder in the other. In the d20 editor, open whichever prestige class you're copying from, and in the Pathfinder editor, open the class you're working on.
 
Sorry got one more, (I know, lol), how do you add a feat to the class. I see the bonus feats, (easy one), but I want to add "Arcane Armor Mastery" at level 1. Started looking through the D20 files, (can't find the Pathfinder files) and I'm lost again. BTW - do yall want a copy of this when I'm (I guess "we", lol) are done?
 
Go to the class specials tab, and copy "Scribe Scroll (bonus feat)", and see how it's done for the wizard's 1st level bonus feat.
 
Cool, amost done and I'll send it. BTW - Can HL adjust the Spell Failure on Armour through a spec ability and/or feat?
 
Cool, well I'm done, it seems ok for my first try at it, anyways, thanks again for all your help. BTW - I e-mailed the file to chiefweasel.
