New Features Requested for Release Cycle

This is for Data Team to consolidate wish list items for certain release cycles

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.

1. 1. 1. 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
