When I'm choosing enhancements I can't select any of those extra trees, they simply don't seem to exist. Yet, I clearly see them accessible in the pdf tutorial.

When I'm choosing enhancements I can't select any of those extra trees, they simply don't seem to exist. Yet, I clearly see them accessible in the pdf tutorial.

You can do this in two ways, depending on the version you are running. Both via the Past Lives and Special Feats window, which is by default docked in the lower left of the screen if it is currently being displayed.

You need to click on the icon that shows the Vistani/Falconer/Harper tree icons in the Special section, or in the most recent version you can set yourself to have the correct tier of Favor rewards for the:

Keepers of the Feather - Vistani
The Harpers - Harper tree
The Free Agents - Falconry tree.

Once set, the trees will be available.

BTW - Still digging your planner - so continued appreciation for all your efforts - wish picking feats in the leveling section was more easy and streamlined but I can live with what you have - especially if I already know what I'm picking each level - but on the fly building is a little tedious. 'nough critique - moar gratitude - thanks again

/Mac
Still hoping for a Past Life folder

[warioman91]

Currently you have to manually take Sunder. (Because I have a build that needs Improved Sunder I noticed this)

I am still researching a new feats/class selection screen that will allow these to be done at once. But its going to be a while before I have something I am happy to release.

This will probably have to wait to version 2.

Currently you have to manually take Sunder. (Because I have a build that needs Improved Sunder I noticed this)

I will get his fixed for the next release. If you want it fixed for your local build, edit the feats.xml file and search for <Name>Sunder</Name>. You can replace the feat section with:

   <Feat>
      <Name>Sunder</Name>
      <Description>This melee special attack, when successful, results in a -4 AC penalty
to the target for 12 seconds if it fails a Fortitude save.
DC 10 + Str mod + sunder modifiers.
Some creatures may be immune to the sunder effect</Description>
      <Requirements/>
      <Acquire>Automatic</Acquire>
      <AutomaticAcquisition>
         <!--Reduced requirements down to a BAB check instead-->
         <BAB>1</BAB>
      </AutomaticAcquisition>
      <Icon>Sunder</Icon>
      <DC>
         <Name>Sunder</Name>
         <Description>This melee special attack, when successful, results in a -4 AC penalty
to the target for 12 seconds if it fails a Fortitude save.</Description>

Hello!

First the obligatory compliments, this is a great planner, I am glad I found it! Thank you!! <3

Now for my question - how do you get it to calculate the tactical breakdowns? I am fiddling with an assassin build and all of the breakdowns remain at 0 no matter what I have thought of to do. I'd like to see how my assassinate is doing as I fiddle with things.

I just had a play with a rogue assassin build I made up on the spot, and it seems that I missed adding the Assassinate DC entry in the enhancement tree. Also things that should to contribute to the assassinate tactical total (I equipped legendary knife palm +9 equipment bonus) and it didn't show up,

So it looks like I either broke something in this area or it never worked properly. I will get this fixed for next release.

Ah, thank you! <3

While you're poking in the assassin things, poison seems to be in a similar boat. I haven't been able to get that one to breakdown either.

I found the problems with the assassinate tactical effects bonuses, added the assassinate DC entry. Updated the one enhancement (Poison Affinity) to correctly add to the Poison tactical DC.
I also updated all the items with an assassinate bonus. All should b present for the next release, which is typically the friday of the week I fixed it in.
