When you want to assign a feat automatically, any pre-requisites are
ignored.  Just like all Rangers have Ambidexterity, regardless of
whether or not their Dex is high enough.  Certainly you ought to
consider such issues when creating a race or class that gets feats
that have other feats or whatever as requirements, but PCGen will let
you do it.  It's up to you to determine if it's fair or balance... ;)(

Things are coming along nicely - most of the tabs are pretty much
done gui-wise, so we can start hooking up the tabs to what they
actually do (so you have a list of campaigns and a button
named "Load", what happens when you click on it?). That process won't
take too long since it's already done in the existing version of
PCGen - it will basically be cut & paste, though the windows are done
differently so there will need to be some modification and a thorough
round of testing. On tabs like where we display the feats you'll see
a table of them, so that instead of just seeing the name and having
to click on one in order to see its description and pre-reqs, you'll
see everything at once. Oh, and did I mention that all tables
everywhere sort by clicking on the column header? ;)

-Bryan

One of the developers in my group has said that Monster Templates are
his pet issue, so I don't think you'll have to wait too long after
the conversion to see it happen.

Boots of striding and sprining don't seem to multiply moveemtn by
two - nor do I see ant tag that would allow that.

Is there a list of tags and/or manipulation instructions for the .lst
files?

Better yet, is there a primer on the whole process of customizing
PCGen?

Sorry if this is a repeat - I thought I posted before, but it hasn't
showed up for quite some time.

I'm not sure how the timing will work, but under the scenarion that
PCGen 2.0 still uses lst files there won't be any change in format.
So it will be just as easy as it is now - and I hope to enlist more
documenters to help answer lots of basic questions to help make it
easier for newbies.  When PCGen gets converted to XML, it will be
just as easy - we'll have scripts that we can run which will convert
the traditional lst files into the appropriate xml format. One of my
goals with xml is to name the tags (it looks exactly like html for
those who've never seen it) in such a way that's it's obvious what
the tags are.  So in that way it will be even easier to modify.  It
will still be text based, so you can use your favorite editor. So it
should be just as easy as it is now, if not easier! :)

Pinnacle has just posted a preview of the Gunslinger class from
Deadlands d20 on their website.  This is immediately useful to me,
since my Gnomish Fighter/Cleric uses two six-shooters and has always
been portrayed as a gunslinger, so I want to add the class to PCgen.
I've never added a class before, though, and there are a few things I
don't quite know how to do.

1.  The Gunslinger starts out with proficiency in simple weapons and
all "shooting irons" - all gunpowder weapons, essentially.  Am I
going to have to add all the guns individually, or is there a faster
way to do it>

2.  Every third level, the Gunslinger gains a feat from a specific
list (similar to, but different from, the fighter list.)  How do I do
this?

Never mind.  I've (mostly) figured it out, although I can't get the
program to recognize the pistol or rifle proficiencies.

Will it be easy to implement a custom template to that?  I want to be
able to put my vampyre template for my characters when the conversion
comes out :-)

Thanks for telling me...
It appears that "PowerZIP" zipped the files incorrectly.
I'll upload a fixed ZIP file ASAP, but all you have to do to fix it
is to create a sub-folder called "taverns", and move _ALL_ files
called T2.tcf, T2.trf, ..etc... T9.tcf, T9.trf into that folder...

Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to the Yahoo! Terms of Service.

What you want is very similar to another recent request where a class
(or domain) gains proficiency in all slashing weapons.  This isn't
supported yet, but the way it will work is WEAPONAUTO:SLASHING
(actually, it could be anything in the TYPE: string of the weapon).
So if you had SHOOTINGIRON in the TYPE: string in your equipment list
for each of those weapons, you could then use
WEAPONAUTO:SHOOTINGIRON. I'm not sure if this new feature will make
it for the initial conversion release - if not it will be done
shortly afterwards.

I doubt the templates will be ready at the same time as the
conversion - but everything is meant to be customizable, so you
should be able to create templates to your heart's content. :)

Go ahead Bryan, just keep making us drool ;^)

So is the first release going to have the option for skins? You had
mentioned something about this before and many people seemed to like the
idea.

Thanks everyone for the hard work that has gone into PCgen to make it the
best around.
And still getting better every week!

Hello,

I?m new to this group. I checked the buglist but I didn?t see the problem i
have mentioned:

I get lots of errors when i try to start the pcgen. Something about can?t
interpret

ALTDAMAGE or HANDS. It also doesn?t understand SA:smite.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thx

Daren

Is there such a thing?

Being new to PCGen, I haven't yet found a guide to all the tags for
the .lst files.  I did notice, however, that boots of striding and
springing do not add to movement rate as they should.

Be sure you have the latest version of PCGen - in the About tab the
release date should be 21Apr2001. The tags you mention are fairly
recent additions, so you probably have an older version. Download it
from
http://www.mcs.net/~mocha/frp/3e

That sounds kind of familiar, but I can't recall the specifics... can
you elaborate? (or find a message # for me to look up).

Hopefully being a programmer isn't a requirement to adding to the lst
files - or xml files when they're ready. Anyone who has been able to
make changes to the existing lst files should have no problem reading
html - and that means picking up xml should be trivial. The more
difficult aspects of xml are coming up with the format, parsing it
and validating it - none of which non-programmers need to be
concerned about.

Sorry to be a pain-in-the-ass, but I posted a couple of questions
last week, and no one responded. Just curious if that means that
they're dumb questions, or if it means that everyone is busy with
conversion and needs the few free hours they have to accomplish
nonessential tasks like eating and sleeping...

I noticed that when equiping a shield... the shield ac bonus is
subtracted from your attack bonus?

also, when using a weapon two handed your str damage doesnt change

18str should be +6damage not +4

same when using two weapons... the off hand should be +2 not +4

just wondering if this is going to get fixed

also is there away to print out the everyman skills... like spot or
sense motive that every character gets but may not have ranks for?

thanks

MORE CHARACTER SHEETS!!! =)

I like the Rog and css ones but hoping someone will make a really
cool colored version that is all art based for posting on websites or
something

What about using said tables for editing the information as well (from a
different set of tabs of course tho).

When using a weapon two-handed, you gain 1.5 times your strength bonus.  1.5
times a +4 is +6.

Hi Kraig,

Are you sure your char has shield proficiency? Monks,
Wizards/Sorcerers and Rogues don't get it for free. And if you don't
have it, the shields armor check penalty gets subtracted from your
attack bonus and all skills that involve moving (including riding).


KH> also, when using a weapon two handed your str damage doesnt change

KH> 18str should be +6damage not +4

Have you selected Hands: Both for that weapon in the equipment tab?

KH> same when using two weapons... the off hand should be +2 not +4

Same here, check the hands: setting on the equipment tab.

KH> just wondering if this is going to get fixed


KH> also is there away to print out the everyman skills... like spot or

This works if you select the "Include Untrained skills" checkbox on
the load tab BEFORE you import your char.

OK all errors gone with current version but the SA:smite one. What do I have
to do against
this one?

Daren

I've been quite busy with the conversion, so when the post-volume
here is high I can't get to all the posts - usually there are a
number of people here who are good about responding when I can't, but
I suspect that this being near the end of the school year, and I've
recruited a number of people to help me with the conversion, lots of
people have less time than normal.

Your sixth-sense idea sounds intriguing - it's not currently possible
to handle it, but it certainly should be added to our FREQ list.

Currently PCGen only defines requirements in terms of positives - you
*must* be this race, or have this skill, or whatever - not you must
*not* be this race... so it would be easier to define a class and say
what races are allowed. That you can do now - having the alternative
is certainly a do-able possibility. I'll see that both of them are
added to our FREQ list so they'll be sure to get included in the app.
Thanks!
