I was using a khopesh when it said +10, so that is probably it. But I still think Headman's chop, crippling crush, and deadly axe (I think it was this one, one of the axe feats) are supposed to add damage on a hit rather than to a damage roll.

Unfortunately, the "+x to damage rolls" part is hard-coded as far as I'm aware. The best you could do, I think, would be to have it read something like "+5 to damage rolls and static damage against a prone target".

I made a Scout with Flashing Blade Mastery and I picked up Spiked Chain Training at level 1. When I equip a Spiked Chain, I am not getting the bonus to attack rolls from Flashing Blade Mastery for having a light blade in my off-hand, which the Spiked Chain is considered to be with Spiked Chain Training.

Yeah, I didn't consider the spiked chain MC feat when implementing the Flashing Blade Mastery functionality. Looking at how to fix it right now. Edit: Edit 2: success! The following should go into the RulesElement of the spiked chain weapon itself (in 01-bug-fixes.part). Much better! pre:<rules>

Crazy good work on this whole thing, guys. You update faster than the official online builder  One question, though: will pasting the pixie code from a couple of pages back into my races.part file mess anything up once the official version is released? Or any other races.part update I guess.

Is there a way to add a keyword to all powers that meet a certain criteria? Specifically, for the Frost Brand/Flame Tongue enchantments (and the errata'd Flaming), I'd like to have the Cold/Fire keyword added to powers that don't already have damage type keywords. Is this possible?

Flaming weapon, frost weapon, radiant weapon, lightning weapon etc etc etc. Adding a damage type, adds the corresponding keyword. Removing it removes the keyword.

Zemyla posted:Also, I'm pretty sure there's no way to add dragonshards to weapons specifically Yes there is. Right click on the weapon in your inventory on the Shop screen, click Customize, and select the Dragonshard on the drop-down. If you want the Radiant, Cold, or Lightning shards to work with Radiant, Frost, or Lightning weapons and have them calculate in the damage even on powers that don't explicitly have those keywords on their own, yes you need to edit them. I have done so with the Radiant shard for my Paladin (as well as with the Radiant Weapon itself), here's the code for the heroic version of the shard and the +3 version of the weapon. Should you encounter something where it makes sense to turn off radiant, you'll need to remember to remove the damage bonus manually from both the weapon and the shard. code:

I paste bits I want to use into a "House Rule" part file I have that runs after the main part files. This is much safer. Keep in mind that having two elements with the same name will crash your builder so you might run into that problem later.

Mithrus posted:I understand the mechanics, but I wonder if there is a way in the CB to actually add the keywords to the powers, so they show up on the character sheet correctly. For Frost Brand/Flame Tongue, the damage type change is required, and not togglable, so it should really be reflected on the character sheet. I have a martial character currently that has a Frost Brand weapon and the Silvery Glow feat, but the damage bonus isn't reflected at all, and it would be nice if it did.

According to the text of the Spiked Gauntlet, only the magical Spiked Gauntlets take up your Hands item slot. A normal, non-magical pair of Spiked Gauntlets would be equipped as a weapon. This could be important for class features and for those times when you might want to be wearing non-magical Spiked Gauntlets (with a Ki Focus) and have a Hand-slot item equipped. EDIT 2: I'm a goob.

On an unrelated note: I've been working on addressing the issue with the half-elves' Dual Heritage qualifying them for things they aren't entitled to – the racial trait specifies feats only, but the way the LCB works it also lets them pick human/elf backgrounds, paragon paths, and the like. What I've done is remove the racial trait from the half-elf's INTERNAL_GRANTS element and rewrite all feats that have "human" or "elf" as a prerequisite to require "half-elf or human"/"elf or half-elf" instead, which looks to be working smashingly. (Admittedly, I spared myself some effort by excluding those racial feats a half-elf would never want to take, such as the human's Skill Swap or the many elf feats that all require Elven Accuracy.) Should I post the resulting .part containing the feats here for someone to implement, or how should we go on about doing this? (And yes, I'm aware that CountsAsRace causes the exact same issue with a deal of other races, such as muls and revenants – the chief difference is that it can actually be fixed easily where the half-elf is concerned, whereas it'd trickier for these other races. Maybe I'll get on it at some point.) MMAgCh fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Oct 22, 2011 |

I am kind of curious if the strict requirements of half-elf dual heritage have been relaxed by Wizards either intentionally or unintentionally. I am not talking about LCB code. I know that dual heritage specifically calls out "feats" but I have always seen it used like a "CountsAsRace" even before the term existed.  Can anyone confirm or check to see if half-elves can take elven backgrounds or paragon classes in the new builder? I have to check the FAQ and see if the question has been asked too.

New race added in Dragon today: the Hengeyokai. They are similar to Changelings except they are limited in their shapechanging abilities and they get +2 WISDOM instead of +2 INTELLIGENCE. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/dragon/404/404_Ecology_of_Hengeyokai.pdf (I think this is a safe link to post, since it requires you to be logged in to D&Di to access it, right?)

Pretty safe. This looks interesting! Can't wait to try out the new set of races (Pixie, Hengeyokai). During the winter break, I'll probably sit down with the character builder files and learn more about how to create them and work on helping to patch stuff.

When I copied/pasted the pixie code from here into my houserules file, I got a similar error, which corresponded to the minus symbol in the text "-5 to strength checks" of their Wee Warrior feature. I just backspaced that and typed "minus five" instead, and everything worked fine.

Some text editors will replace a normal dash with an Em-dash or an En-dash (I forget which). This causes CBLoader to not recognize the character and complain. You can try using notepad to edit the file and replace the character with a "-" from your keyboard, or replace it with "& # x2013;" (without quotation marks and remove the spaces). That is the proper XML reference to a dash (specifically, an En-dash).

Speaking of Hengeyokai... I gave them the existing versions of Fey Origin (the one elves/eladrin/gnomes/drow get) and Shapechanger (Changeling), so the wording will differ slightly from the version in the Hengeyokai PDF; that being said, they do exactly the same thing. Also, instead of listing EVERY animal benefit in the Nature's Mask power, I made the Animal Form selection tack on the one for your animal at the end; unfortunately, that puts it AFTER the "Special" line. code:

And speaking of new races: the Satyr has been posted. It's an Excerpt and not a Dragon article, so not LFR legal, but it's the full racial write-up from the book. http://wizards.com/dnd/files/excerpt_20111021.pdf Something new for the Satyr: they can only be Male. No female or genderless Satyrs (unless you are playing a Revanant Satyr, I suppose.... Also, Bluff is *always* a class skill for them. EDIT: Actually, based on the current CCG, the Satyr *is* LFR legal since it appears in a player-friendly format as a Playtest article on the Wizards of the Coast website. So ... groovy.

Lots of new Oriental stuff I see. Going to see if I can take some time to make a list of what is missing and what isn't supposed to be included (like Unearthed Arcana: A Matter of Honor). I could create a new index for Unearthed Arcana part files if people want since they aren't supposed to be included in the main files at all. UA articles themselves can be half-finished or half-baked ideas. Some were ridiculously over-powered, some just needed better editing and writing, and some of the articles were UA because the coders at WotC were too lazy to put them in the online builder. So quality varies a lot. The articles were considered "House Ruled" or perhaps "3rd Party" WotC information since even WotC doesn't allow you to use them. Ideally they should be coded separately since they vary in theme and power greatly. So individual Dungeon Masters that wish to allow a particular article can give their players the OK to do so. I coded one of the original UA articles and it was crazy stuff that I would never allow in my game. We can throw up a new folder for them and create an index if people want it.

You'd end up giving revenant half-elves access to things they shouldn't get.

Not sure if it's a coding issue or it's something that was just missed: when I take Power of Arcana domain feat and I have one of the four at-wills available which become Arcane powers, I cannot Arcane Admixture them. Is this because the builder doesn't support it or did the coding to allow them to be Admixtured get skipped?

"When you use a power associated with this feat, that power is arcane as well as divine." (Emphasis mine.) The power in question does not inherently gain the Arcane keyword, contrary to what its power card displays when you take Power of Arcana, so I think ultimately the LCB is correct in not allowing you to use Arcane Admixture with it.
