Data File Authoring
- Added the AddReq.ArmLigPlus, AddReq.ArmLigPlus, and AddReq.ArmLigPlus tags. These are the mirror of tags like AddReq.ArmorLight.
- Several fields which were obsolete have been hidden in the debug output.
- Helper.NotNatural has been obsoleted, according to consultation with paizo, all fly speeds should add a bonus to the Fly skill based on maneuverability, not just "Natural" fly speeds.
- Added the Hero.HasArmTrn tag, which is assigned to the hero early in PostLevel, to simplify some things about Armor Mastery feats.
- Added the SbNamePar.IncUsrText tag, which causes the contents of the user text domain to be appended in parenthesis for the statblock name.
- Added several more AddReq tags (ArmLigOnly, ShiBucOnly, etc), for when you must be wearing exactly that kind of armor/shield.
- Added Helper.TempDisabl, which can be applied along with FtDisable to mitigate the effects of that tag (all scripts should still be disabled, but TempDisabl allows the feat to show normally in the statblock/summary tabs/printout). This is used for many feats from Armor Master's Handbook which disable themselves when the hero does not equip the correct type of armor.
Quote: Quain Martial Artist wasn't adding its damage bonus to gauntlet attacks Can Hero Labs have an option set so that gauntlets do not count as unarmed attacks? Ever since the 12.2 update:
Quote: Paizo has clarified that the Gauntlet weapon should not be a separate selection for things like the weapon focus feat, and is instead a modifier to unarmed strikes, so the deity Ng, whose favored weapon is the gauntlet, has been changed to favored weapon: unarmed strike (including the PFS rule that deities with unarmed strike as a favored weapon grant improved unarmed strike to their clerics as a bonus feat). Previously, followers of Ng could not take the Weapon of the Chosen feat tree because weapon focus (gauntlet) was not available in Hero Lab. It's been a little messed up since it's not officially stated anywhere that they interact the way Hero Labs has them interacting:
Weapon Focus/Specialization (unarmed), and monk's robes, and amulet of mighty fists have been affecting gauntlets.
Avenger Vigilante's Fist of the Avenger talent specifically apply to both unarmed and gauntlet attacks, and the new Shield Gauntlet Style line of feats have Weapon Focus (gauntlet or spiked gauntlet) as a prerequisite. Both imply gauntlets and unarmed attacks are separate weapons.
It's cool if Hero Lab team has picked an interpretation for something that's unclear all over the boards, but can it be set as a houserule for either option?
