  Ya' know, in the distribution lst files, including rsrd, and in the
docs, there is no "TYPE." in the ADD:SPELLCASTER tag. Does this work?

Oh, right.  Types "Arcane", "Divine", "ANY", and possibly "Psionic" are
hardcoded...  I keep meaning to bug some coders about more standards....

I want to print my skills using an IIF statement loop, but I want to
exclude the skill Speak Other Language so I can place it elsewhere.
Is there a way to filter that skill out?  Or, barring that, is there
a way to supress the printing of the languages known in the skill
table?  As it stands now, it prints out like this:
Speak Other Language(HIEROGLYPHIC, HIERATIC, Egyptian, Arabic,
Coptic, Greek, French).

Your help would be most appreciated.

You can change the order to hidden, but not sure about making it appear
somewhere else on the sheet

Hello,

While creating a sorcerer, PCGen seems to be incorrect for spells-
even though the LST files for sorcerer seems to be correct.
I created a sorcerer human at 8th level (not feats)

What the PHB 3.5 says it should be.
6,6,6,5,3  - Spells per day (bonus w/o charisma)
2,1,1,1,1  - cha 20 bonus spells per day
---------
8,7,7,6,4  - Total Spells per day w/ 20 charisma

6,6,6,5,3  - Spells per day (bonus w/o charisma)
1,1    - cha 14 bonus spells per day
-----------
7,7,6,5,3  - Total spells per day w/ 14 charisma

8,5,3,2,1  - known spells at level 8
----------------------------------
What PcGen has
8,7,4,3,2  - Total spells known at 20 charisma
6,8,7,6,4  - Total spells per day at 20 charisma

8,6,4,2,1  - Total spells known at 14 charisma
6,7,7,5,3  - Total Spells per day at 14 charisma

I am using pcgen 5.7.2 (i can't upgrade currently because I am using
experimental psionics and they are not working together).
Per 3.5 Rules, charisma only applies a bonus to spells cast per day,
not known spells; PcGen applies a boinus to both.

Thanks,

Avi

THanks,

Avi

I know I have it in my docs, but I can't find the listing for
comparison operators (greater than, less than, etc.).  I know
greater than or equal to is GTEQ, but I don't remember if it is
followed by = or a ".".  Under which section of the doc files is
this located?

Its in the LST tag pages.

For the game system I'm creating .lst files for, anyone can have a
spell, and they come in the form of feats.  I've created a table
that only outputs the spell feats.  Now I want to set up a filter to
skip that output page unless the character has at least 1 spell
feat. I've tried IIF statements, but I can't get them to work.  Any
suggestions?

Working on a few prestige classes now, having some trouble with these 2
particular feats.

SCENARIO 1
-First class is 5 levels.
-Adds the feat Skill Focus at each level ( FEATAUTO:Skill Focus ), to be applied
to a different skill each time. This is chosen when the class level advances and
the new feat applies.
-All I get is the feat added, with no option to choose the skill that I want it
to apply to.

How do I get the Skill Focus to apply when I advance AND bring up the skill
choose so I can choose the skill I want it to apply to?


SCENARIO 2
-Second class is 5 levels
-This class adds special abilities each level, from a list in a hidden feats
file (akin to Loremaster lore secrets)
- A few of these special abilities adds a Weapon Focus feat, but for one
specific weapon (quarterstaff, spear, etc). How do I code this properly? All I
can get this ability to do is ADD:FEAT(Weapon Focus). This only allows me to add
the feat, and I still have to choose the weapon manually from the list that
appears with this feat.

Is there a way to get this feat to be added with a specific weapon already
chosen?

**I have to use the ADD:FEAT since this is added from a FEAT.lst file of hidden
abilities. The other usual option of FEATAUTO is for class only.


Thanks all

Lange

If you want the chooser you must use ADD:FEAT.  FEATAUTO assumes you're
feeding it everything it needs (it was created to grant specific feats
with no choices involved).  If you did FEATAUTO:Skill Focus(Ride) it
would grant you Skill Focus in Ride

Try FEAT:Weapon Focus(Quarterstaff).

I have a feat that can be used 3/day, reducing the increases level of
a metamagic feat by 1. In the Spell tab, we can apply metamagicked
spells into spell slots. Is there a way to do what this feat does, or
just use an SA to make a note of it.

Paul W. King

I have a feat that allows a multi-class caster use other casting
classes spell slots.  For example, a Wiz 9/Clr 9 could prepare
fireball as a 3rd level Wiz spell or as a 4th level Clr spell. How do
I do this?

Barak answered

>>> If you did FEATAUTO:Skill Focus(Ride) it would grant you Skill Focus in
Ride


Interesting. This may actually help my class. I don't suppose that you can
FEATAUTO:Skill Focus (TYPE.Knowledge) ? Can it be that broad? Any way to
bring up a chooser based on this type?

In effect, get the Skill Focus feat a first level, to apply to any one
knowledge skill of the player's choosing?


>>> Try FEAT:Weapon Focus(Quarterstaff).

I just tried this, but it doesn't even add the feat. Is it because it's in a
FEAT . lst  file?


Thanks again

Hmm, didn't notice that... and it solves that problem... What about
the other options, it is still wrong for spells cast per day.

Also I created a race that gives +1 sorcerer spell casting level. It
reads like this:  ADD:SPELLCASTER(Sorcerer), but although it it
adding the class when i add this race, it does not seem to show it in
the known spells (i am not using spells cast per day since that seems
to be wrong).

ADDSPELLLEVEL:-1 does work. (Or, well, it used to anyway)

But I know no way, other than user enforcement, to ensure that it is
only used three times or applied once to any particular spell.

The only way I can think of is to add the Wizard spells to the
Cleric's SPELLLIST and vice-versa.

How you'd do think in a feat without umpteen SPELL:CLASS entries I
have no clue.

Can you .MOD a class, specifically add/replace a SPELLLIST tag, inside
a feat? Or inside a template added by a feat? Of course, that'd put'em
in at the level of the Wizard entry (fireball'd be at 3rd for both).

I'm doing a magic staff that is also a weapon in 3.5. When I equip
the staff, nothing shows up in the weapon block.  Here's what I have
for the staff:

PROFICIENCY:Quarterstaff
TYPE:Magic.Staff.Weapon.Simple.Melee.Bludgeoning.Standard.Double.Quart
erstaff
BASEITEM:Staff
CRITMULT:x2
CRITRANGE:1
DAMAGE:1d6
ALTDAMAGE:1d6
EQMOD:MWORKW.PLUS3W.SPL_CHRG|CHARGES[50]
SIZE:L

What am I missing? The charges and the SPROP that shows the spells
and how many charges each take are working fine, so I didn't include
it here.

Paul W. King
TM SB, OGL/PL Chimp, Data Tamarin, BoD

Try putting the Magic.Staff types at the end of the list, maybe PCGen is
looking to see if Weapon is first.

Is this SRD or RSRD?
compared to the RSRD Quarterstaff entry:
WIELD:TwoHanded
TwoHanded in TYPE
SIZE:M unless base damage is for large creature.

also there needs to be EQMOD entries for the secondary head unless
both enchantments the same.

Hm, ya' know these same three items are missing/wrong on the Staff of
Power entry in the RSRD rsrd_equip_rodsstaffswands.lst file.

Its RSRD...and it was the Staff of Power I was modeling it after.

TM SB, OGL/PL Chimp, Data Tamarin, BoD

Alright, I've made the following suggested changes. Still doesn't
show up in the weapon block.

PROFICIENCY:Quarterstaff
TYPE:Weapon.Melee.TwoHanded.Simple.Double.Standard.Bludgeoning.Quarter
staff.Magic.Staff
BASEITEM:Staff
CRITMULT:x2
CRITRANGE:1
DAMAGE:1d6
ALTDAMAGE:1d6
EQMOD:WOOD.MWORKW.PLUS3W.SPL_CHRG|CHARGES[50]
WIELD:TwoHanded
SIZE:M

I equip the weapon to be used by both hands.

Is this possibly related to the Double Weapon not showing up correctly
in the OS?

It could be. What OS are you using?

Paul, purchase and equip a Quarterstaff and see if it works any
better. (For that matter what about the Staff of Power itself.)

If so, start removing things (I recommend EQMODS first, then TYPE
entries) one at a time until you find the offending item. (Ah, the
joys of debugging.)

I'm getting a lot of numbers after the decimal from my TOTAL.VALUE

digits?  I've tried both tags, and can't get either to work.

The Rod of Python was working properly with the RSRD data set the last time I
looked. I would use it has an example (I did that for a staff I created a few
weeks ago).

Not possible at this time, and you have merged tags from different files.

The biggest problem would be the way to PROHIBIT specific types of spells,
while allowing an extra spell slot for a particular type of spell only.
