Weird Tag Use (pHdAttDam)

[PhilFischer]

Previously I asked about a guide and was given a useful doc by daplunk:
This is where I store things that have worked for me previously.

Unfortunately it doesn't have how to use all the tags in HL, like pHdAttDam.
I need to know how this works, perhaps by seeing how it is currently used in the game. I tried searching for the string in the ProgramData / HeroLab / data / 5e directory hoping some community person had used it in a User file. I couldn't find it.

How can I find weird tags and how to use them? Is it possible to search the Core 5E data for a tag like that?

You might need to beg ShadowChemosh for some knowledge blessing here, but some of the weirder fields and tags that LW uses are for internal procedures and aren't meant for mortal eyes or casual usage.

That said, if you go into the editor, you can pretty much copy anything into a test.user file and try to reverse engineer it. The one you reference specifically is an adjustment to global attack/damage bonuses. If you open the editor, go to adjustments, hit the New (Copy) button and search for pHdAttDam.

There's not much in the description though that helps with how it is used.

Nothing exists for what your asking for and no way to get a listing of every tag and field. Which would be different for each HL game system.

Found what I need

I was not aware you could go into the Editor and be on the General > Adjustment and pull up the Tag and it will have the Field if there is one.

i.e. for the pAttBon and pDamBon the value needed is pMinimum. Now that I know that it is working great!

Thanks for help.
