I'm pretty sure there is a way to do this, but I'm just not sure how to do it...

How can I modify a power so that it works slightly differently based on a feat selection?

For example, I want to modify the various Sorcerer "Requires: Dagger" powers so that they also require Kukri and Katar, but only if I have the Mastery of Knives feat. Is that possible?

palecur: Nov 3, 2002; not too simple and not too kind; Fallen Rib

The Shadar-Kai bloodline feat Shade Heritage shows up as houseruled whenever you take it. I suspect it's because it has 'prerequisite: Shadow Jaunt' and when you take the feat, it replaces Shadow Jaunt with Shade Step, retroactively making the character not meet the prerequisites. I'll add it to the bug list.

edit: Dur, it's already on there.

I've updated the 15-warlock.part file I edited. A Hexblade's pact weapon should now properly inherit bonuses from any Arcane implement you use them with (adding support therefore for tome/staff/orb). I'm going to work on adding support for daggers next.

Also, Hexblade pact weapons take the off-hand implement's bonus as an enhancement bonus instead of an "off-hand enhancement" bonus, which was breaking Dual Implement Spellcaster (ie. a feat every Warlock should be taking in the first place).

EDIT: HAHAHAHA HOLY poo poo I SEE WHY YOU HAVEN'T DONE THIS BEFORE. Time to slog through 03-base-items and 04-new-items and cry. Whatever, at least the work will be worth it (kind of (sort of (not really))).

Modifying individual powers like that is pretty easy; you just have to use a modify tag. If the field already exists in the power, it'll replace it with the new entry you specify, otherwise it'll tag it on at the end.

Here's a quick example that modifies the Ensorcelled Blade power:

code:

<modify name="Ensorcelled Blade" type="Power" Field="Requirement" value="You must be wielding a dagger, kukri, or katar." />

Unfortunately, I do not know if there's any way to do this to multiple powers easily, so... yeah.

EDIT: Should go without saying, but just in case: you would put this inside the rules tag on the Mastery of Knives feat.

I wasn't aware of that the LCB would actually restrict what weapons you use with a power; then again, the only powers I've messed with that have weapon requirements are the Executioner guild powers, which are worded "You must use this power with a XXX". Apparently the "You must be wielding a XXX" is the magic wording to make it restrict your selection.

It would also appear that the restriction doesn't check the updated Requirement line, meaning you can change what it SAYS you can use, but not what it'll LET you use. The only option left would be to change the original Requirement line to not trigger the hard-coded restriction, like the Executioner powers don't. While it wouldn't force players to use the right weapon, it'll still clearly state what weapons you can use.

Not ideal, but it's at least functional.

They're under Heroic Tier Feats. It has always been possible to wear armour while lacking proficiency with it, too � you just take a penalty to Reflex and attack rolls when doing so.

Just wanted to point out that the Hengeyokai is not from Heroes of the Feywild. It is a Dragon magazine article race tying in with Kara-Tur, not a preview of the book.

EDIT: Also, when I create a Thief with the Order Adept theme, I am unable to select Wizard Utility powers once I reach level 5. I have tried the Retraining tab and there are no Wizard utility powers showing up there either.

EDIT 2: Actually, when I create any Essentials character with the Order Adept theme, I cannot choose Wizard Utility powers once I reach level 5.

Many of the items from MME are clarifications of items already available and should overwrite the previous version.

And, I hope that's a typo on the cost of those Reading Spectacles.

Dammit Who?: Aug 30, 2002; may microbes, bacilli their tissues infest

Okay, I did some more testing and confirmed that
1) adding "(heroic tier)" to the end of the name of the MME Reading Spectacles causes only one instance of the item to show up and makes the builder crash when adding it to a character's inventory
2) commenting out the MME Diamond Cinctures leaves the Adventurer's Vault ones and solves the crashing problem I was having earlier

so it looks like any MME items that replace older ones are just broken for now.

Interesting that creating items of the same type with the same name causes bad behavior even if they have different internal-ids.

I seem to recall that the phrase specifically needs to read "your Strength/Constitution/etc. modifier" for the builder to recognise it and add the (+X) afterwards, so it ought to be "...extra necrotic damage equal to 1d8 + your Constitution modifier or your Charisma modifier". This should be the only change required though, I think.

Changing the effect line should be all that is necessary, but like MMAgCh said, if you want the LCB to display the modifiers on the power card, you have to put "modifier" after the name of each ability. In fact, if you don't pop "modifier" in after Constitution, it doesn't show EITHER modifier...

Also, you don't need to include the racial trait that grants the power; just updating the power is fine.

Here's a nice piece of code, adding a Second Wind card to the character sheet, that can be edited with conditions like the Action Point card we all have:

code:

   <AppendNodes name="Level1Rules" type="Level1Rules" internal-id="ID_INTERNAL_LEVEL1RULES_LEVEL1RULES" source="Core" >
      <rules>
         <grant name="ID_KDM_POWER_SECOND_WIND" type="Power" />
      </rules>
   </AppendNodes>

   <RulesElement name="Second Wind" type="Power" internal-id="ID_KDM_POWER_SECOND_WIND" source="KDM" >
      <Category> ID_INTERNAL_CATEGORY_UTILITY,ID_INTERNAL_CATEGORY_ENCOUNTER_USAGE,ID_INTERNAL_CATEGORY_STANDARD_ACTION,1 </Category>
      <Flavor> You take a moment to catch your breath and gather your strength. </Flavor>
      <specific name="Power Usage"> Encounter </specific>
      <specific name="_SkillPower" />
      <specific name="Display"> Innate Ability </specific>
      <specific name="Keywords" />
      <specific name="Action Type"> Standard Action </specific>
      <specific name="Attack Type"> Personal </specific>
      <specific name="Effect"> Spend a healing surge and gain a +2 bonus to all defenses until the end of your next turn. </specific>
      <specific name="_Associated Feats" />
      <specific name="Class" />
      <specific name="Level"> 1 </specific>
      <specific name="Power Type"> Utility </specific>
   </RulesElement>

And then it can be edited like the Action Point card as the example shows below.

code:

   <AppendNodes name="Striking Resurgence" type="Feat" internal-id="ID_FMP_FEAT_2518" source="Martial Power 2" revision-date="8/27/2010 12:20:20 PM" >
      <rules>
         <modify name="Second Wind" field="Striking Resurgence" value="When you use second wind as a standard action, you can forgo the bonus to defenses to make a melee basic attack as a free action." />
      </rules>
   </AppendNodes>

This was created by KDM off of another forum. Yes it has a few dropbacks like it shows up on a utility card but its better than nothing, considering we dont have card that can be edited like the action point card.

This is badass. Now we can actually put all those feats that change the second wind power to work!

The downside is that we will now have two cards which show Second Wind ... unless this replaces the one that the builder currently places on the sheet...
