Bugs, news and stuff: Re: [pcgen] Unchained

Stefan,

Summoner/Eidolon should be a cake walk. You have four existing models
for the Eidolon base. Which looks the same. Only thing you would need to
alter is a PRExxx on the form, and a super choice for the "types"
allowed. Looks like a bunch of busywork.

I would imagine this is not a "dire" situation for the existing PFS
players who have Summoners. They normally have a grandfather clause.

Anyways, companion code for this for an experienced person ranks easy.
If it was a newbie, then it might be difficult. Factor into account you
have an existing working model.

What's wrong with the rogue? Not seeing anything overly remarkable which
would give us any issues.

Cheers,
Andrew
