Valhalla Graduate

[SeeleyOne]

I am trying to make the Valhalla Graduate from Necropolis add to my Command Radius derived trait. The Valhalla Graduate adds +1 per rank. The only thing that I can think of right now that adds per Rank is the Grit derived trait, but that is not written in a way so as to be added tp an Edge.

      perform #traitadjust[trCommand,+,0,"Valhalla Graduate"]

For the record, the following is what we use to make it add +1 to the Battle rolls:

foreach pick in hero where "thingid.skKnow"
  if ( compare(lowercase(eachpick.field[domDomain].text),"battle" ) = 0) then
    eachpick.field[trtRoll].value += 1
    endif
  nexteach

That allows you to add +1 to the result of a specific Knowledge skill roll.

Try this:

var bonus as number
bonus = herofield[acRank].value + 1
perform #traitadjust[trCommand,+,bonus,"Valhalla Graduate"]

Thanks, it works great.

There is only one more effect to add, which is that Valhalla Graduate allows you to ignore Rank requirements for Leadership edges. There is discussion on how to ignore rank for all Edges, but to do it just for Leadership edges, I would think that having a modified version of the relatively few specific Leadership edges that require a certain Rank.

This can be done with adding an if/or to a modified of the specific to allow the normal rank requirement if you have the Valhalla Graduate edge. Or, even less complicated, is to add a second version of those specified edges that features one simple change: rank is changed to Novice.

Incidentally, adding a second version of something was the easiest way to handle the modified Zombie spell for a character with the Necromancer edge from the Horror Companion.

Yeah, for a smaller number of Edges with a specific requirement like that I also find it easier to just duplicate the Edge and set the modified pre-reqs for it. We're stuck with a LOT larger number of Edges in that other Rank-ignore thread, but it's a good reminder that maybe I should just go that route for some of the Fencing Academy versions of Edges in Pirates of the Spanish Main. Thanks for the reminder!

Hey, I need to solve this same problem about the Leadership Edges for Hellfrost. So, give me a few days since I know someone else needs it, too.

Been reviewing datafiles....
