Hi Jasper,
inline:
PCGen
Tested with 3.5 dataset+homebrew testset
Tested with 6.02.01, 6.04.01, and 6.05.04 latest autobuild.
According to the documentation, PRECLASS:SPELLCASTER=x Checks whether a character has two levels in a spellcasting class.
However, what it actually does is determine the caster level of the class.
homebrew testst uses these feats:
Spellcaster 1 CATEGORY:FEAT TYPE:General DESC:spellcaster level 1 PRECLASS:1,SPELLCASTER=1
Spellcaster 2 CATEGORY:FEAT TYPE:General DESC:spellcaster level 2 PRECLASS:1,SPELLCASTER=2
Spellcaster 3 CATEGORY:FEAT TYPE:General DESC:spellcaster level 3 PRECLASS:1,SPELLCASTER=3
Spellcaster 4 CATEGORY:FEAT TYPE:General DESC:spellcaster level 4 PRECLASS:1,SPELLCASTER=4
A ranger does not meet any of these requirements at level 3 (this is correct)
A ranger should meet all requirements at level 4. However, he only meets the requirements for Spellcaster 1 and Spellcaster 2
Ranger at level 4 is a SPELLCASTER =2 (Caster Level is 2) CL/2|PRECLASS:1,Ranger=4 4/2 = 2
Is this a bug?
If not, how should I determine the class level in a spellcasting class?
I would say the documentation is incorrect.
You want actual class level, then you need to be very specific -
PRECLASS:1,Ranger=4
Or you need to add types to all your classes
TYPE:DivineCaster or ArcaneCaster
PRECLASS:1,TYPE.DivineCaster=4
<SNIP>
Looks like a lot of work. I know of one individual that has that sort of set up, so not hard.
The documentation, as provided is incorrect. It appears to go strictly based upon the value of 'CASTERLEVEL'.
As a quick workaround, you can always disable the feat prereqs to take the feat.
Cheers,
Andrew
