New Features Requested for Release Cycle
This is for Data Team to consolidate wish list items for certain release cycles
6.0 - None [Major Core Code Overhaul]
6.2
Andrew's Draft List: (Tir Requested a List)
Most of these tie directly to the "Eclipse: The Codex Persona" set I'm working on.
- 1) Ability to change HP per level in a single class
- 2) Ability to assign skill points for a certain level dynamically
- 3) Link a Variable from a Master to a "Companion" or vice versa
- 4) CHOOSE:SPELL w/ other tag to Assign Spell to a Class
- 5) Ability to Change "COST" of Ability
- 6) Add SUBRACE= to COMPANIONLIST tag
- 7) Extra Choice for selected abilities - Apply Ability -> Choose from x selections (Apply Selection Choice) add ability to add text to Ability.
Reasoning: I take "Warcraft" normally it would grant a +1 to BAB and has a COST of 6. However, if I take Corrupted and Specialized the COST is reduced to 2.
- 8) Ability to create an Ability... Can be accomplished in LST Editor. Need better interface.
- Need for certain Applications to work
- 9) Allow CHOICE/CHOOSE to have a selection when the COST is 0 and the POOL has 0
- 10a) Sort by 'group'.
- 10b) Sort by Ability Grouping and not necessarily by Alphabetical order
example: Eclipse has certain abilities as part of a group
- Acrobatic
- Light Foot
- Action Hero
- Action Hero Stunts
- Deep Sleep
- Prophecy
- Angst
- Foo
- 10c) We need to group things together without needing to add more OS Blocks
10 can be accomplished a few ways... Introduction of a new tag SORTORDER:
This is a proposal in progress -
SORTORDER:x|y|z
- x = Alphabetical (A-Z,Z-A)
- x = List (How it's listed in the data set)
- x = GROUP
- x = SUBGROUP=
- y = Ability Name to follow
- y = Group Name (Used with Group (x))
- z = optional sort numbering system
LIST is debatable as that could cause issues, especially if .MODs are followed.
Examples of usage:
- Dairy Strings <> SORTORDER:Group|Punk Rock|1
Will apply the Ability Dairy Strings as part of Punk Rock 'Group' and it will be the first item
- Funky Town <> SORTORDER:A-Z|Dairy Strings
Funky Town will be listed in Alphabetical Order after the Ability Called 'Dairy Strings'
- Loves Rock <> SORTORDER:GROUP|Punk Rock|2
- Hates Rock <> SORTORDER:SUBGROUP=Punk Rock|Classical|1
There are several ways it can display with those four examples. We do need to establish order of operation.
- Example 1
- Dairy Strings
- - Funky Town
- Loves Rock
- - Hates Rock
- Example 2
- Dairy Strings
- Loves Rock
- - Hates Rock
- Funky Town
This came about because of how PCGen sorts items by Type or Name. It'd be nice to add Groups.
NAME - What I'm thinking the Sort Order would be set
- Acrobatics <> SORTORDER:GROUP|General (Defaults to A-Z sorting inside the group)
- - Light Foot <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Acrobatics
- Companion <> SORTORDER:GROUP|General
- - Template <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|1
- - Transference <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|2
- - Might <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|3
- - Additional <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|4
- Augment Attack <> SORTORDER:GROUP|Combat Enhancement
- - Increase to Hit (+1) <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Augment Attack|1
- - Increase Damage (+1) <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Augment Attack|1
Now I realize using Ability is probably a fallacy, as CATEGORIES can be different for different Abilities; ergo we might need to be more verbose
"CATEGORY=Special Ability,Ability Name"
SORTORDER:CATEGORY=Special Ability,Augment Attack|1
