RPZip: Feb 6, 2009; WORDS IN THE HEART
CANNOT BE TAKEN

Does anyone know if there's an existing .part or .index file for Zeitgeist Adventure Path? It includes a few new pieces of equipment and a few new themes. If one doesn't exist I may make one, but avoiding having to duplicate work would be nice, and I didn't see anything in the OP or from a few google searches.

I found one a while back. I haven't looked too deeply into it, but it seems to have themes, equipment, and feats.

I don't know if it has the Level 5 & 10 Features in it, because those weren't published until Adventure #3.

Quietlovingman: Feb 5, 2011

Our party is playing in a world with infectious zombies ala' Open Grave. Some of the undead have Necrotic healing ala' 3rd edition. Our DM has decided that we can become intelligent undead via infection. So, I am trying to make an Infected Zombie player race option similar to the Revenant.

This seems to work until you select the race in the builder and then it causes a "failed to compare two elements of the array" crash.

What am I missing?

      <specific name="Size"> Medium </specific>
      <specific name="Speed"> 6 squares </specific>
      <specific name="Characteristics"> Agile, cold, determined, fearsome, hard-bitten, noble, pragmatic, tragic </specific>
      <specific name="Physical Qualities"> Plaguetouched are souls of the dead returned to a semblance of life by The Necromancer, but they do not appear as undead horrors or even anything like their former selves. When The Necromancer reanimates souls, they exist as his special creations, and they have the bodies of his choosing and creation. In this way, such souls are always marked as representatives of The Necromancer&apos;s power.

A Plaguetouched has a body that is slender for his or her height, but this form possesses an uncanny toughness that contradicts the apparent build. Plaguetouched have the same range of complexions as members of their original race, but a Plaguetouched&apos;s skin is ashen and the features are sunken. Eyes are most commonly solid black with a single point of red light in place of a pupil, but other eerie eye colors�including yellow, white, silver, and gold�are not uncommon, although they always share the same fiery red pupil. In most cases, the eyes lack an iris and pupil, and some glow with a ghostly light. Plaguetouched hair typically ranges from black to white. Their hair and nails no longer grow naturally, but if shorn will slowly return to the original length.

A Plaguetouched&apos;s face and skin clearly set a member of this unique race apart from other humanoids. A Plaguetouched&apos;s visage has a masklike quality that can be disturbing to normal mortals. Cool pale clammy flesh with blackened veins and startling eyes mark the Plaguetouched as one of those The Necromancer allowed back into the world of the living.  </specific>
      <specific name="Playing"> Plaguetouched do not live and reproduce like mortal races. Indeed, they are not a true race at all. Each Plaguetouched arises in the world only by the will of The Necromancer. He�or someone he has made a bargain with�has a specific purpose in mind for each soul he retains in the world. This purpose might be plain to the Plaguetouched, or it might be a mystery the Plaguetouched has to unravel before it can rest. A Plaguetouched might doggedly pursue this end or rebel against that fate and try to avoid destiny. The purpose could even change, eluding the Plaguetouched or revealing greater goals as steps toward the ultimate end are achieved. Much depends on who brought the Plaguetouched back. If The Necromancer commanded the soul&apos;s return for his own reasons, the Plaguetouched might play an important part in the future The Necromancer foresees.

The rarity of Plaguetouched results in few having much knowledge of them. Experts in religion or those who encountered Plaguetouched in the past might know of them, but for most people Plaguetouched are simply zombies. </specific>

Cornwind Evil: Dec 14, 2004; The undisputed world champion of wrestling effortposting

So, I'm helping a friend build an Invoker...how exactly does Superior Implement Training work? Could I go "Superior Implement Training: Accurate Orb!" and then grab a Staff of Ruin and get both the Staff and the Orb and use the Staff to actually attack while the Accurate Orb provides its constant +1 to hit as a passive? Or do I have to actually use the Orb to make all the attacks?

Edit: It seems like it would power up what I use an an Implement, so I could make an Accurate Staff of Ruin. This is correct?

thespaceinvader: Mar 30, 2011; The slightest touch from a Gol-Shogeg will result in Instant Death!

The latter is correct. You have to be proficient with the implement, and you have to use it for the attack, but providing those things are both true, you take the feat buy the accurate rather than the regular version of th implement, and use it for your attacks.

So in the DMG, there's a template for making monsters into death knights.

Echophonic: Sep 16, 2005; ha;lp; Gun Saliva

A friend of mine is going to be using the Seed of Winter in our campaign and we found out that it literally does nothing in the builder besides grant the skill bonuses and act as a wand. I'm reasonably sure it was done by Wizards, since it uses the bullets you can't put in a part. A lot of the older artifacts are like that, they don't grant powers and such.

In that spirit, I fixed it not granting powers and tweaking the ability modifiers with some AppendNodes action. It's a little ugly on the cards, but it works as well as can be hoped for, really.

code:

The epic-level item set, "Points of the Constellation", has as its 5-item benefit: "You gain a +3 item bonus to Fortitude or Will. You can change the defense this bonus applies to after a short rest."

Ignoring the "change after a short rest" aspect, I've been trying to figure out how to code the selectable Fort/Will bonus in a <select /> block (obviously via <AppendNodes><rules></rules></AppendNodes>), but I haven't seen anything similar elsewhere in the .part files that I could adapt.

That means, on one of the .part files, there's an error at line 228029, position 23. It's a matter of finding it and fixing it, which will probably be pretty frustrating since it doesn't tell you which file it's in so I recommend just killing all your .part files and letting the .index file redownload them all.

e; replacing the < and > make the error go away, but I don't have any part files in my Custom directory, and the links in the OP are dead. Does anyone have a download for all the official fixes and stuff?

e; nm, found wotc.index in the root (needs to be in Custom), but now I've got another bug. On first run the CBLoader downloads everything, but it doesn't look like anything actually gets applied. Close and reopen the application, CBLoader doesn't seem to do anything and the CB just crashes. I've got CBLoader and the CB exe running in compatibility mode for Windows 7 and as Admin.

Have you installed the October 2010 update to the same location? The update defaults to c:/program files (x86)/wizards of the coast, so you'd need to change it to the install folder where the Builder is.

Yeah, this kicked me in the teeth the first time. What a lovely way to do that.

Hmm. I had an issue with CBLoader (hadn't used it in forever), so I reinstalled it and now I don't seem to have a whoooole buncha stuff available option-wise for characters. Ugh

Is the Metro app in the OP any good? Can I do anything in it without an Insider account? I need to make a level 20 character; is that possible?

Just trying to figure out what happened with my version of the offline builder.

Buddy was over on Sunday and forgot to print his character, so we rebuilt his cleric in about 10 mins and went from there. Problem is something happened to his Turn Undead power. It's now saying that it only does 1d8 + Wis instead of the 3d10 + Wis from PHB 1. Was there some stealth rules update I didn't get, or is this an error?

Errata, I believe.

Probably an error then.

Is there any way to actually select the Monk's unarmed strike as a melee weapon, or would I have to create the weapon for that?

If you have the feature, it should appear in your list of choices for your main and off-hand. At the very least, it should appear in your choices for what to use on your card calculations in the sheet viewer.

Huh, okay. Well, I was trying to make a Hybrid Monk/whatever and couldn't select the Monk Unarmed Strike as a weapon.

That is one of the worst written erratas ever. Damage increases to what exactly? If you're going to alter the power this much, just redo the whole block.

IIRC hybrid Monks don't get Unarmed Strike without Hybrid Talent. Tried taking that?

It used to increase at levels 5, 11, 15, 21, and 25. Now it's just 11 and 21. I agree, though, it's written really badly - especially because the original version had different damage values at levels 11 and 21 than the new version does.

Although frankly, I'm kind of annoyed by how many major changes they did through online errata without publishing updated books.
