Running into a weird bug where any time I try to add or buy the Continual Light ritual the builder crashes. I can view the ritual's information fine, it's when I try to add it to my book that the whole thing collapses. I didn't see this in the list of known bugs, but is it a problem with my install or the builder itself?

Mostly because I'm a lazy bastard. But anyways, if someone DOES want to put the class together, they could use this as a starting point, and all you'd need to do is implement the powers. EDIT: Well, you'd also need to implement the feats, Paragon Paths, Epic Destinies, and the hybrid version... scpredmage fucked around with this message at 07:24 on May 20, 2012 |

Greyhawk Fan posted:Finally got my hands on the Dungeon Survival Handbook. Wow am I underwhelmed. For the final fourth edition "rules and option book" it contains very little compared to any other 4E book. It wastes several pages talking about how awesome old modules where, and since WotC doesn't sell those PDFs anymore, it is basically a complete waste and page filler. Looks like a student project more than a book where the pupil had to use so many words and just didn't know what to discuss. Yeah, was expecting more player options such as rituals, equipment, magic items etc, and MD options such as terrain features, traps, dungeon building guidelines etc.

Yeah, I thought we were told that this book was going to have lots of DM advice for setting up dungeons with traps and stuff. I guess they meant "We'll tell you about some older modules that we did and you might be able to glean some info from that." I do like the flavor behind the Svirfneblin though. I wish LFR had more opportunities for roleplaying because this race looks top-notch for RPing.  I got bored and coded the Alchemist's Essence item and ritual from Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium. I also coded the Foaming Plaster because it was there and looked quite quick and simple. EDIT: I also coded up the ammunition form of Alchemist's Essence and it shows up in the Ammunition list in the Shop. Alchemist's Essence stuff Also, new Winning Races article is up on D&Di for the Thri-kreen. I have just finished the feats and will be linking the .part file shortly. I can do the powers tomorrow but it will not be until tomorrow after I get off of work. If someone else wants to do them sooner, that's fine by me. Winning Races: Thri-kreen Thrikreen feats.part One of the new feats grants blindsight 1. I think I have it coded right but the sheet doesn't show blindsight anywhere, except in the feat description. :: Shrugs :: EDIT: I am also going to work on reworking the Awakened Potential feat so it works as it is supposed to now (MC Psion, Battlemind or Ardent.) However, the current feat is not in the feats.part file. Anyone know where it is? I think I was the last one to make any changes to it, but I have no idea where it got placed in the reorg.

I've posted a first cut at the backgrounds (and related source) for "Web of the Spider Queen", the current season of D&D Encounters. However, the backgrounds as written are listed along with the older ones for Crystal Cave; I suspect that since the URLs are the same in the source .part, they get clumped together. I dunno what the Crystal Cave URL needs to be changed to.  See http://pastebin.com/v3mRqqAf for the code.

The Svirfneblin racial power Stone Camouflage is currently implemented a little... oddly. It has the level 11 and 21 updates as their own specific tags, which, while different to how other powers have these kind of things implemented, isn't really a problem. The problem is that they include the colon as part of the name, which results in a double colon on the character sheet. Here's a version of the power changed to put it in line with other scaling powers; either use this, or remove the colons from the tag names; either solution is fine. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49758175/stonecamouflage.zip

New Awakened Potential OK, can someone download this and take a look at it? Currently, I have the feat showing up as "Psion Awakened Potential", "Battlemind Awakened Potential" and "Ardent Awakened Potential" so the feat shows up in the Multiclass section. When I have it coded with the MC Class behind Awakened Potential, it creates a new section called Awakened Potential in the feats tab and sticks all three down there. I can put a space, double space and triple space after Awakened Potential for each one in turn and they show up in the MC section like they show, but it looks bad. It would be awesome if there was a way to make it so when you choose the feat, you would get a selection box to pick which class you want to MC into. That's how the online builder is doing it currently.... Anyway, if no one wants to look at it, then this is complete and it works. But I have no idea what .part file the old Awakened Potential feat is located in. I looked in the feats.part but it isn't in there (or Notepad++ couldn't find it with the Find command...) EDIT: AH HA! It's in the bug-fixes.part file. Starting at line 314 (according to Notepad++.) Can someone remove that from Bug fixes? The Class feature referenced is still needed, so that can stay. Thanks! OK, I'm confused now. I have removed the entry in bug-fixes and ran CLEANUP.bat. The loader recompiles all of the .part files and *does not download anything new.* However, even with the entry from the bug-fixes.part removed, I am still seeing the entry under Multiclass for the original version of Awakened Potential. I cannot find it in any .part files now. Where is it and how do I kill it? Thri-kreen powers and backgrounds from Dragon 411 OK. The powers are working.

Undrhil posted:New Awakened Potential From what I am seeing is even with the feat removed from the bug-fix file the original feat is still listed because its actually part of the original builder. You can see this by the ID: code:code:I believe that will remove it from the builder completely...then try adding the new code and see what you come up with. if it works then it can be added. As far as how they show in the builder, that's a builder issue unless you add code such as a class feature where it allows a choice back to the class feature screen. I did this with a homebrew mod, which included training a young drake as a choice from a feat.

Actually, I changed the prereqs to be INT 200; trained in Arcana. This seems to have done the trick. I can only assume that there are no homebrews out there where people have stats above 100. :P I'll try Unselectable this afternoon when I get home from work.

Dark_T_Zeratul posted:Minor update to the Mindbite Scorn feat, so that it properly updates the curse dice on the power cards: Since it adds 1d6 and not "another curse die", shouldn't it add 1d6? The main problem I see if that they way you have it coded, if I take the feat to increase my curse damage die to d8s, then this feat will be adding an additional 1d8, which isn't what it should do. Is this not currect?

I had that thought, but that's actually how it was originally coded in the main dnd40 file; all I did was change the statadd from "Warlock's Curse Die" (which did nothing) to "Warlock's Curse Dice." EDIT: I tested it out in the online builder, and with the Killing Curse and Mindbite Scorn feats the cards list the curse damage as 1d8 + 1d8 psychic. Based on my interpretation of the Killing Curse feat, too ("The extra damage dice from your Warlock’s Curse class feature increase from d6s to d8s."), were I a DM I would rule it that way.

Combat was legitimately quick and snappy -- that 10 hours was really two 5-hour runs of the same delve. Of course, combat was quick and snappy because the casters trivialized encounters and the party got rolled once the magic ran out.

This thread; the last several pages of it(post-playtest release) give a reasonable enough idea of what it's like. And yeah, I forgot to mention that it was two different runs, not a single ridiculously long run.

Can't say that I care for "fix" for the Treasure Hunter Skill Focus that was pushed out. Other than having the selection being labelled better (although WAY too long) than what I posted, it just looks... all sorts of weird. I mean, what's the point of having every name start with "select: "? I was under the impression you could have multiple RulesElements with the same name, so long as they had different types and internal-ids (hence a "Wizard" "Class" and "CountsAsClass"). Hell, the version I posted even managed to do this without requiring any new RulesElements (181 less lines in the final document, by my count), meaning less bloat to slow things down in; if we keep adding in extra cruft, it's just going to keep taking longer and longer to update each time.

Thanks for the quick response on the fix! The "select:" thing is a little obnoxious, but I'm more concerned with function than form, heh. Ran into one more issue (we're starting an epic tier game soon and thus tripping over all sorts of stuff): The Shadow Master feat for the Executioner doesn't supply any options to choose from. Should let you grab any daily power from the Assassin class of your level or lower.

Greyhawk Fan posted:The fix that was used works correctly and the builder understands it is a level 5 benefit. Did it take more lines? Certainly. However, this both checks for eligibility and correctly assigns it as a level 5 benefit. It is much better than what was suggested. I guess it is impossible to please everyone. That said, I thank you for addressing my ACTUAL complaints: 1. The name for the selection in the Class tab is WAY too long, and should be shortened; every other selection is either labelled with the name of the feature that grants it, or the level and name of the class/path/theme that grants it. Having this be labelled with a full English sentence telling you what you need to choose clashes stylistically with the established norm, and is unnecessary to begin with. 2. The "select: " at the beginning of the name of all the selections looks weird, and barring some weird conflict I'm not aware of, should probably be removed.

First, I'd like to thank all you wonderful folks for your work and effort maintaining this thing, it has been an enormous help managing my games and, honestly, a relief to know that 99% of the time I will not be able to build something against the most recently errata'd rules. It's been a godsend being able to maintain ten or more characters and update them in seconds, then import them into MapTool with little more than a copy+paste. I've lost count of the times that I've discovered players' build errors from trying to translate things into CBLoader (from the online builder even!) that I would never have noticed otherwise. Anyway, I've been wanting to reformat my hard drive for a while and switch my OS, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get the Character Builder. I have a copy of the original unaltered folder as well as one I use for CBLoader. I might also have the original executable, but I'm afraid it might just be a dowloader for the actual downloader, as it were. I also have a current Insider account, if that matters. Is there any way I can be sure I can use the offline character builder without  ?

DarkHorse posted:Is there any way I can be sure I can use the offline character builder without You have two options. The first is to save the registry keys related to the LCB, and reimport them into the registry after you reinstall. I don't know where the keys are located, so I can't really help you with that. The second, and easier, option is to use CBLoader to export the the data into a key file. For example, from the CBLoader folder, just run "cbloader.exe -r cbloader.keyfile" to generate the file (named cbloader.keyfile, oddly enough). CBLoader should automatically check for this file in "%appdata%\CBLoader" when it doesn't find the data in the registry. If this doesn't work, you may wish to look at editting your config files, or changing the shortcuts you use to add in the appropriate command line options. http://cbloadercontentwiki.wikispaces.com/Command-line+Reference http://cbloadercontentwiki.wikispaces.com/Config+Files

Greyhawk Fan posted:I was actually going to make the description of the feature longer when you first complained to make it like other theme options (check out moteborn for example). Intead it is going to remain as it is for now. There is no need to change it. Hey guys, no need to get upset or what have you over an elf game. Have a look at the latest version - does this accomplish what everyone wants? Or at the very least provide someone else (me) to be upset at? The treasure hunter and Moteborn were changed. I made them line up with the established container feats like arcane admixture, which provide concise headings. They are very short and to the point. Does the moteborn and treasure hunter have to have renamed choices to prevent overwriting? In my testing it seems that the skill focus (treasure hunter) interacts properly with the Skill Focus feat, even if they have the same name "Skill Focus (Acrobatics)". If you select one, you can't select the other, as it should be. Let me know if you like the changes.
