Feats

Excelent... thank you... now, knowing I'm going to need to know soon enough, how do I handle multiple prerequisites and caster levels?

An example of multiple prerequisites:
Shot on the Run (requires Dodge, Mobility, Point Blank Shot, and a Base Attack Bonus if +4)
Logically, if the PC has Mobility, they must already have Dodge, so checking to be sure they have Dodge is perhaps a bit redundant... but the macro still has to check for Point Blank Shot, and BAB +4

Now, for Caster Level... Forge Ring requires Caster Level 12.
Sure it's a simple matter if we're talking about sorcerers, wizards, and whatnot, but what about multiclassing characters, or even more complex, a Cleric/Wizard with Mystic Theurge (prestige class who's levels stack with existing spellcasting [DMG 192])

I guess this is where the GM's Overide comes in.

Picture of the day, available at my online stash...

another thought... regarding Caster Levels:

What happens if the PC gets really exotic, and plays a race who's racial levels stack with a spellcasting class (for example, a rakshasa's 7 racial levels stack with sorcerer levels).

There is a function called 'and' that will do this. Just add each test in the function separated by a comma. You could also use the && from the script language but that really upsets the XML parser. Your example looks like this (minus the new lines:

Code: Select all

<prerequisiteMet>and(inList(root.feats, "Dodge", "name"),
                            inList(root.feats, "Mobility", "name"),
                            inList(root.feats, "Point Blank Shot", "name"),
                            gte(root.baseAttack, 4))</prerequisiteMet>

I always tried to stay away from these type of assumptions and code all of the prerequisites anyway. You never know what the player may change around and if you assume they have the feat and then they remove it they still get the bonuses.

I'll have to add in caster level as a modifiable value. I've not really added any caster support to 3.5. just refer to the value as casterLevel.current for now:

Code: Select all

<prerequisiteMet>gte(casterLevel.current, 12)</prerequisiteMet>

There will always be a user entered value that the GM or player can set to add odd things like this.

I thought about this some more and I realized that this won't work. A character in 3.5 can have more than one caster level. I thought about adding them in a list, but then it's difficult to do the test. When you add in the spells themselves it gets complicated quickly. I'll need to think about it for awhile longer so just leave caster level tests out for now.

Ok, for now I'll leave a few empty lines in place of the <prerequisiteMet> lines.

Hello. Very long time since I've hung around this here board. About as long since the last time I've played D&D. Anyways, I've got some people I've met who let me into their D&D game psyched up about rptools. I notice however that when I try to add feats I get an error.

I tried just adding a simple feat, Agile and added the entries into the modifier.rpdat like how acrobatic is. Here is what I am looking at. I added the feat, and repackaged it with the rest of the rpgame file.

Code: Select all

Now it doesn't complain about anything from the modifiers table but I think that is because it hits the exception with the feats and then stops trying to load anything, therefore not getting to the modifier table.
Here is the modifier table.

You're name & type closing tags are bad:

Code: Select all

  <feat>
    <name>Agile</name
    <type>General</type
    <description>Null</description>
    <benefit>You get a +2 bonus on all Balance checks and Escape Artist checks.</benefit>
    <modifierSetName>feat.agile</modifierSetName>
  </feat>

Both are missing the less than sign to end it. The feat should be:

Code: Select all

  <feat>
    <name>Agile</name>
    <type>General</type>
    <description>Null</description>
    <benefit>You get a +2 bonus on all Balance checks and Escape Artist checks.</benefit>
    <modifierSetName>feat.agile</modifierSetName>
  </feat>

Hey thanks. It all works now. When I finish with core I'll share it with everyone.

Also, how would I go about creating specific addons for collections of data. Like addon for Complete Arcane, and whatnot.

LordShard · Post by **LordShard** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:53 am

New question. I don't see anything like this in the d20 3.5 file to compare against. How do you set booleans like true and false for feat requirements? Armor Proficiency Heavy requires medium and light but feat.armorProficiencyMedium == true doesn't seem to do anything.

jay · Post by **jay** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 9:30 am

You can test for other feats by using this:

Code: Select all

inList(root.characterFeats, 'Armor Proficiency Heavy', 'name')

However, the base d20 3.5 doesn't support classes yet so there isn't any way to tell what the base armor proficiency is.

LordShard · Post by **LordShard** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:26 am

I only need to link what feats connect to what. So as a character even if you don't have classes in there yet it should still be able to select what feats are per your class, for example bard gets light armor, then medium armor show as true for prerequisites met.

jay · Post by **jay** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:23 pm

That is the only way to do it until Classes are added.

I realize this post was late 2009, but what is the current state of feats for D&D 3.5? When I used "d20 3.5 - remote 3", the only two feats available were Acrobatic and Exotic Weapon Proficiency, which were the two proof-of-concept feats. Have others been coded since then? If so, where should I be looking for them?
