I,

Were you going to be adding CMB to the Pathfinder setup?

Thanks,
E

What were you after in particular. The Opposed Grapple calculation in the Grapple macro is equivalent to the CMB. So maybe a macro labeled CMB that prompts for a temporary modifier?

FYI CMB calculation is:


Ah you probably also want tracking for the Agile Maneuvers feat (or I could simplify and just have a radio select Str / Dex on the dialog that you enter the temp mod, and default to STR).

For AC:

The values to populate are:
Armor -- This is for things that provide an Armor modifier (like chainmail, or bracers+2)
ArmorACP -- The Armor Check Penalty of the above armor
Shield -- The AC given from any wielded shield
ShieldACP -- ACP of that shield
MaxDex -- Maximum Dexterity the armor allows
Natural -- Natural armor
Deflection -- Deflection bonuses
Dodge -- Dodge bonuses
Desc -- Description (like Full Plate Armor & Heavy Steel Shield)

For the example riding dog, the parameters that go into calculating AC are:
Size -- Medium so is 0
Dexterity -- 15 so +2
Natural Armor -- 4 (this is from this line of the monster: Armor Class: 16 (+2 Dex, +4 natural) ..)

When those elements are entered the calculated AC will be correct: 16/12/14

Weapon Damage:

No sorry the Weapon (really more of an attack config) dialog only wants NON-stat based modifiers. But you are right, for the setupBlank___ macros I really should allow you to enter it as the monster entry states and programmatically remove stat modifiers (like I do for saves and skills). I have just been trying to find the time to rebuild the whole weapon&weapon-set&attack configuration so have let that languish a bit...

* re AC
Gotcha!



* That is helpful. I would definitely appreciate being able to enter the information directly from the stat block, at least as much as possible.

Thank you!
E

I think this is going to be very tricky. For attack rolls it may not be too bad, but for damage? Feats like Overhand Chop and Backswing change the stat bonus on damage rolls, then there are things like mighty bows that allow a Str bonus up to a certain limit.

I suppose one thing to do would be to let the user type in two fields: random damage, and constant damage. So an attack that does 2d6+12 (say from a giant's club?) would be entered into two fields. The 2d6 field would have an auxiliary field to enter the maximum value (might be able to just split on the "d"). The other field would be just the 12 and a radiobutton as to whether it includes Str*0.5, Str*1.0, Str*1.5, or Str*2.0. Then any remaining can be calculated and assumed to be something else (Power Attack?). Now when the creature comes under the enlarge spell, the values can be adjusted automatically. (I think. I haven't verified all of the above.)

oh btw on my problem,
the decimals work fine for levels, the problem is in the HP.
for example a tiny mounstorous spider has CR 1/4 (easily achieved using level-0.75) and HD 1/2d8 according to the MM.
atm we've just stuck in the average (2 in this case) and i hope it can be sorted in future
i'm using the b49_03 macros and MT b50.

Mind you, the functionality currently is awesome.

A player and I are testing Timers, and he cannot seem to get it to run Setup for him. This is the message he is getting:



I have given him ownership of the Timer token. Any ideas?

Thanks!
E

I will debug this tomorrow and put up a patch... this is probably just an access issue. Things you can explore:

Lib: token should be Visible to Players (it can be on the Hidden layer though)

Verify the getSelected() function is not editable by players.

Thanks for looking into it!

As discussed in the PM, this is the base token I use for fighter-types. There is currently no macro for editing the Feats field (this is just a first cut at adding the PF feats to lmarkus001's weapon attacks).

Since lmarkus has done a much more advanced version for b49, the only real advantage to this token will be the feats used in the weapons, the skills list in the setup macro, and the default list of skills in the token properties. Note that you won't see the Feats property unless you add it to your Campaign Properties.

I'm going to move to his b49/b50 stuff within a couple weeks...

Quickie Update:
MT1.3.50_DnD35PathfinderCore01.cmpgn



This has 2 updates:

• New macro: CMB - Pathfinder Combat Manuever roll.
• Fix Timer: Setup and Next macros moved to the Lib token, and various execution order/GM-only issues resolved.

Thanks, lmarkus.

How did you do the CMB macros? I was planning on providing a single macro that had used a list of radiobuttons to select the particular action. Then there would be either options or just explanatory text for each maneuver. For example, selecting the Trip option would just make the CMB roll and add in some text to say that creatures with more than two legs received additional bonuses.

It looks like our group will adopt the "CMAC" rule being discussed on the Paizo forums. Basically, the CMB roll will not be against a flat 15+CMB, but rather against an Armor Class. The AC will be 10 + BAB + any Dex or Dodge-related bonuses. (We're still tweaking this and haven't really decided until we playtest it some more.) When that happens, I will probably code up a macro that calculates the token's CMAC. So the CMB roll that a player uses will call a Lib: token which executes the CMAC macro on the opponent and uses the return value as the DC. This means adding a "targeting" phase to the players CMB macro, but I plan to include the new distance functions that Craig is adding (didn't make it into b50, I think) so that only creatures within reach are potential targets.

Pie in the sky right now, but that was the plan..

Thanks I!

If we were adding these two changes to an existing camp file, what would suggest? Camp Properties, Lib and Camp tokens?

Thanks.
