Inherent Bonuses are also used when you don't want to keep leveling your party's magic items.

Like if you get that +1 Flaming Sword at level 3 and use it to level 30, because you like its properties/powers.

Well, that would be up to the DM, though. You can't just decide "Oh, I found this cool magic item that I never want to get rid of or upgrade. I think I'll start using inherent bonuses now." If the DM gave you a +1 flaming weapon while using the inherent bonus system, then that's different, of course.

Yeah, that's what MR is saying. DMs use inherent bonuses and then give out magic items that they don't have to worry about giving out new versions of in five levels' time. Players don't just decide they're using the bonuses.

And the idea is that the +1 fro your flaming weapon does not stack with the +X from the inherent bonus. Inherent bonuses are typed as enhancement bonuses to make this work. So someone having inherent bonuses and a magic weapon is a perfectly normal situation, but getting the benefits of both is a bug.

edit: Also, is there any way to take Superior Implement (dagger) to enable an Accurate Pact Blade for a Warlock? Because they'd have the Dex for Cyclone Warrior, which works best with a weapon in each hand. Only other way I can think of to make that happen is with a Rod of Smiting, which 'can be used as' a mace, which might not be enough to satisfy Cyclone Warrior's condition. I guess Arcane Implement Training would do it, but I'm seriously out of feat room as it is.

Accurate Dagger training has the pre-req of being able to use dagger implements. Warlocks don't get proficiency with dagger implements, the Pact Blade is a dagger implement which can be used by Warlocks.

I could just be missing something, but how do I actually get the bonuses to Versatile Expertise? All of the others seem to work right, but I don't see where to make any choices or get the bonuses. What do I need to do to get this to work? Add them in manually?

Well to be fair, it's a weird place for them to be. It's just that there's not really anywhere better to put them.

Edit: Question about the hexblade pact weapon: Why doesn't it just apply the bonus as an enhancement as opposed to the "off-hand enhancement" thing? My (brief) testing seems to indicate that it works fine if set to an enhancement bonus, is there some kind of edge case which makes it go screwy?

Just so you know, if you pick that feat (or other feats that add features to the class tab), the NEXT button turns yellow, and takes you to the appropriate tab where you need to make a feature selection.

Also, when you look under your portrait, you'll have "legal*" (or "houseruled*" if you have houserules with your character), which indicates that you have selections to make. If you look at the bottom of the Manage -> Details tab under character status, you'll see what choices you need to make to get rid of that *.

Ok, here's some fixes/improvements that I found:

1) Short Spear is a thrown weapon with no range listed. I grabbed the range from the Compendium:

code:

<RulesElement name="Short Spear" type="Weapon" internal-id="ID_TIV_WEAPON_MORDS_MAG_EMP_02" source="Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium" revision-date="00/00/0000 00:00:00 AM" >

    <specific name="Full Text"> Short Spear
Simple one-handed melee weapon
Cost: 2 gp
Damage: 1d6
Proficient: +2
Range: 5/10
Weight: 1 lb.

Properties:
Light Thrown: A ranged basic attack with a light thrown weapon uses your Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls, unless otherwise noted in the description of the power used. 
Off-Hand: An off-hand weapon is light enough that you can hold it and attack effectively with it while also holding a weapon in your main hand. You can't attack with both weapons in the same turn, unless you have a power that allows such an attack, but you can attack with either weapon.
Small: This property describes a two-handed or a versatile weapon that a Small character can use in the same way a Medium character can. A halfling can use a shortbow, for instance, even though halflings can't normally wield two-handed weapons.

  </RulesElement>

2) Devoted Priest Expertise: The conditional damage bonus was showing up in 2 lines, and said it was a feat bonus (when it was untyped). This should correct it:

code:

  <RulesElement name="Devoted Priest Expertise" type="Feat" internal-id="ID_TIV_FEAT_D402-05" source="Dragon Magazine 402" revision-date="00/00/0000 00:00:00 PM" >

3) Executioner Poisons: I added the "@" to the short text to make it so that these don't get added to the character sheet. I found it just took up too much space. Feel free to add this to the assassin file or not, I'll leave it up to you.

code:

The poison created from the oil of the bloodroot plant causes a temporary fever and weakening of the body. Bloodroot (named for the deep crimson color of the root) is a relatively common plant often mistaken for other, harmless plants that grow nearby. The poison is favored by assassins who seek to knock an enemy off balance and disorient it before the lethal strike.

Carrion crawler brain juice is exactly what its name claims: a poison derived from the brains of vicious carrion crawlers, which makes it a difficult substance to harvest. Carrion crawler brain juice makes the body of the target sluggish as the poison attacks muscles and essential tissues that help the body move. Longer exposure to brain juice causes a form of paralysis that makes it impossible for the victim to move a significant distance.

Named for its color and thickness, greenblood oil is a viscous poison derived from poisonous plants that grow deep in primeval forests. This combination of oils from several different sources has medicinal uses: It breaks up dangerous blood clots and can be used to help drain infections from the body. Assassins, however, use greenblood oil to make it more difficult for the body to heal. This poison is often used to make a target more vulnerable to harm rather than by harming directly. For example, an assassin might pour greenblood oil over a target&apos;s food early in the day before performing a very public assassination, to ensure that the victim cannot be magically healed once the attack takes place.

Id moss grows primarily in caves and crevasses in the earth, particularly in places where the sun never reaches. Most forest-dwelling people know to avoid consuming id moss even in desperate situations, because the moss causes mental trauma and eventually insanity. When crushed into a fine powder, id moss powder can be inhaled, allowing it to attack the mind more quickly.  
If The DM allows, a character brought to 0 HP by the poison can be driven insane instead of killed.

One of the few slow-acting poisons in the assassin&apos;s repertoire, nitharit poison gradually breaks down a creature&apos;s natural defenses against toxins and eventually turns those defenses against the poisoned creature. Nitharit poison is often used as a precursor to weaken a target before a second poisoning assault. For example, an assassin might put nitharit poison in a magistrate&apos;s wine, then later in the evening return to finish the job with a stronger poison once the target&apos;s body is in no shape to fight it off.

Ungol dust is a black powder made of the crushed remains of dried-up spiders and scorpions that is so fine that one errant breath can blow away an entire dose. Most of those who craft this poison wear masks to ensure that they do not accidentally disperse (or inhale) the dust before packing it into small, easily shattered pellets. When ungol dust comes into contact with flesh or other living material, it becomes highly corrosive.
If The DM allows, a character brought to 0 HP by the poison can be knocked unconscious and permanently scarred instead of killed.

This powder is derived from the legendary black lotus flower. The effect is devastating when this substance comes in contact with a creature for more than a few seconds. Black lotuses bloom only once every three years, and it is during that time that the flowers can be harvested to produce this toxic oil. Black lotuses grow only in deep swamps, along shadowed riverbanks, and at the edges of caves where they are sheltered from direct light.

A liquid is distilled from the brains of mind f layer thralls (or mind flayers themselves, which produce a much higher quantity of poison) and combined with several kinds of mold spores to deliver the poison straight to the brain. Insanity mist begins eroding the consciousness of the victim almost instantly.

To those uneducated in the art of poison crafting, lich dust is often believed to be a powder made from the ground-up bones of liches. This belief is only partially correct; in truth, lich dust is made from a combination of pulverized bones taken from a variety of undead creatures (liches among them) mixed with other alchemical and natural substances. Lich dust retains some of the necromantic power that once animated the bones it is made from, which can drain the energy and spirit of creatures that consume it or are injured by a weapon coated with the poison.

The secret to creating this rare and potent toxin is closely guarded by the most powerful assassins&apos;s guilds. Versatile in its application, it not only does injury to a creature&apos;s body, it rots away flesh and bone, melts sinew, and boils the blood. Even after the initial shock of the effect of the venom is over, the pain and damage inf licted by the poison linger, making it difficult for the body to heal. The base of the poison is the venom from an actual wyvern, though the poison used by executioners is the result of a complex alchemical process that increases its potency tenfold.

Said to come from the pulverized bodies of angels devoted to gods of death, dark reaver powder has the ability to knock a creature unconscious for a long time. Assassins use dark reaver powder to get enemies out of the way without killing them or to send a message not to cross the wrong person. When applied in powder form to a weapon, the poison seeps into the blood and produces a diluted effect that renders enemies woozy for a short period of time.

Dragon bile is one of the most sought-after substances harvested from dragons. It can be made into a deadly poison that can slay a person in a matter of minutes. The dragon bile used by assassins is among the most potent, and is harvested from the bodies of powerful and ancient dragons slain by adventurers. A brief touch of dragon bile can make it impossible for a creature to move or do anything else, while prolonged exposure is almost always fatal.

Among the rarest of poisons used by assassins, eye of basilisk powder is exceptionally potent in minute quantities. The eyes of actual basilisks (harvested at great expense by adventurers) are dried out and ground into a powder that, when properly prepared, can turn its victims to stone. Assassins put small amounts of the powder into alchemical pellets that explode when broken to release a small cloud of the poison around the victim.

I did test the file and didnt have any issues, when i was updating the header I hit f by accident and added an indiscriminate letter to the file that has been removed. I thought at first it was a search error but it wasnt it was a header update error, my apologises.

Having any extra copies of the files floating around actually causes more issues. The reason is people do make mistakes. Happens to everyone. Mistakes are fixed as soon as they are identified (especially if it is a crash bug). If someone is maintaining a "secondary set" of the part files they will not get the fixes as soon as the main files get them.

What you can do is launch your builder with the "Don't Download" switch: -d or use the "CB Launch (No Update)" shortcut if you have it. Once a week or once a month or whatever you prefer you can update it at your leisure.

I considered for a few days of having a monthly index but changed my mind when the new functionality was added to CBLoader to prevent the update checking if desired.

You can also download the "Wizards Everything" zip file and use the "Don't Download" switch: -d. I try to update the zip file about twice a month and I test compile it first. There is no schedule however and I might update it many times a month or only once.

I've only been using my pre-existing CBLoader Link, so can I just modify that, or do I need to download something?

Well to be fair, it's a weird place for them to be. It's just that there's not really anywhere better to put them.

Edit: Question about the hexblade pact weapon: Why doesn't it just apply the bonus as an enhancement as opposed to the "off-hand enhancement" thing? My (brief) testing seems to indicate that it works fine if set to an enhancement bonus, is there some kind of edge case which makes it go screwy?

I have a better question: Can we code the Hexblade pact weapon to take advantage of *all* implements and not just the Rod and Wand? Since it's possible that a Hexblade could multiclass to another implement using class or take Arcane Implement Proficiency, it's a good bet that not all Hexblades will be just using a rod or a wand.

My understanding of the builder is that it isn't possible to do this. Things like arcane admixture would seem like you can do it for singular powers, I'm not sure that for all powers.

As well, for the Force weapon to be the most correct, it actually deletes all other typed damage keywords - if you had a cold attack, and you changed it to a force attack, it would lose the cold keyword (impossible with the current builder), and add Force (which is possible in the builder on a power by power basis).

Sorry :shobon:

Dual Implement Spellcaster? Also, I'm making a Hexblade right now and I've noticed that it isn't properly inheriting the implement's attack bonus and damage enhancement bonus to the weapon, which is what the weapon's supposed to do, so I have to manually fix things. At home I have the pact blade manifestation stuff installed and it apparently wasn't having that problem.

For instance: Starshadow Blade: +4 Charisma modifier, +3 half your level, +0 off-hand enhancement bonus - Star Pact Weapon (even though I have an accurate +2 implement in my off-hand). Weirdly enough, it is correctly implementing the Superior Implement Bonus, it just isn't inheriting the damage or attack bonuses.

EDIT: The last part seems to be for specific implements. I am using an Accurate Rod of Deadly Casting +2 and it wasn't applying bonuses properly. Dual Implement Spellcaster does not properly apply the damage for Hexblades when you use it: because the Star Pact Weapon things it's an off-hand enhancement bonus, taking DIS isn't properly giving me the damage bonus I should be getting from my off-hand implement. The weapon having the same properties as my implement doesn't mean DIS doesn't work!

EDIT2:

EDIT3: I decided to make the change myself once I saw this:

quote:

Yes, a hexblade can use the Arcane Implement Proficiency and Dual Implement Spellcaster feats to add the non-pact weapon implement�s enhancement bonus twice

I'll be uploading it to nothingxs.net and e-mailing it as well... and making a changelog. First, testing it! Should I also change it and entries for all possible non-wand/rod implements that may be wielded in the off-hand?

I don't plan on doing this. There is already a ton of work that needs to be done. Rod and Wand are the go to solutions for the Hexblade and specifically called out in the class.

I wouldn't change it. It took a lot of work to get it to work. Changing it to an enhancement bonus likely would cause stacking somewhere. It was originally an enhancement bonus remember?

You can pass the command line to CBLoader.exe in a shortcut or make a batch file with a new shortcut for your batch file.
my batch file looks like:

code:

"CBloader.exe" -d -c cbloader.cbconfig

cbloader.cbconfig is my config file and the passed "-d" overrides those settings.

I don't see where the stacking would come from... Maybe it was stacking with inherent bonuses? I've returned it to a normal enhancement bonus and it seems to be working just fine. But then, I just tested it with inherent bonuses and no stacking seems to be occurring with a rod in one hand, pact blade in the other (Enhancement bonus - Inherent Bonuses aren't stacking with the Enhancement bonus - Star Pact Weapon).

What work needs to be done to the Warlock part file? I can give it a shot or two, I've been mucking around and I've gotten a feel thus far for how things work. What I've done here for this is to make the enhancement bonuses granted actually be enhancement bonuses. They still 'draw' them from the implement in the off-hand.

Also,

This is from the Wizards FAQ for HotFK. So apparently it doesn't matter what the implement you have in your off-hand is, it's supposed to work. Just pointing it out. I'm willing to make the edits if necessary...

EDIT: And I'll get to work on just that. I will try to have something finished by tomorrow.

EDIT2: Or by tonight. :v:

http://nothingxs.net/inbound/uploads/15-warlock.zip Bonuses aren't applying properly here from off-hand implements such as orbs or staffs. Anyone care to look through and tell me what I may've overlooked? I think the feat assignment is correct...

As for that, I can't seem to find any way to cause stacking of bonuses here by making the Pact Blade confer an enhancement bonus as opposed to an off-hand enhancement bonus. Any ideas?
