Re: [pcgen] PCGEN 6.05.05 beta and Arcanist builds

Hi Don,

If you want it to be fixed in a timely manner, it is always recommended to open a JIRA Issue Ticket - pcgenorg.atlassian.net - if in doubt make it a DATA BUG. Since Data involves the sets themselves.

Now, the reason that is not coded up, as Neil pointed out, is the WIZARD mechanic cannot be used for Arcanist, at least not in the sense of an Ability object determining things. That is actually a "Lot" of work to implement it in any reasonable fashion. Get the details that Neil posted included in the tracker today, and I'll check it today. Otherwise, I'm busy implementing the Fractional System from Pathfinder Unchained support in the entire pathfinder system books. (So far, 3+ hours of work!)

Cheers,
Andrew

Hello all.

This is my first post despite using the program for a few years.

I love this program. Thank you for the effort you go through!!!!

This weekend, I downloaded this version in order to have access to the ACG data set.

When building an Arcanist / School Savant archetype, it is not asking for the specialist school as the Wizard does when the fist level of Wizard is chosen.

Is this intentional, or am I missing something?

ACG p.78 School Savant (Archetype)

"School Focus(Su): At 1st level, a school savant chooses a school of magic. The arcanist gains the abilities granted by that school, as the arcane school class feature of the wizard, treating her arcanist level as her wizard level for these abilities.. She can also further specialise by selecting one of the subschools found in the APG. In addition the arcanist can prepare one additional spell per day of each level she can cast, but this spell must be chosen from the selected school."

Goes on the explain choosing 2 opposition schools, needing 2 prepared spell slots, etc.

So looks like an omission in the PCGEN coding of the archetype.

In a separate build, also an Arcanist, at 1st level, the char sheet is showing that the damage for an Ice Missile (Arcanist Exploit) is showing as 11d6.

I have NOT checked the other damaging exploits to see if they all show this discrepancy or if it is only the Ice Missile.
