Need some serious help with creating a Subrace
« on: January 17, 2016, 03:44:18 pm »


               

HI! I am struggling terribly in getting this done and therefore I am asking for someone to get this to work for me since I frankly am screwing things up big time apparantly....


 


Okay am working on a Vuldricks Base module that has the Idillicus Subrace System installed and I wanted to add another subrace. HOWEVER I am not very successful in how I should go about it and after several attempts I decided to ask for help. 


 


So if there is someone who knows how to work with this or is willing to lend me a hand with this I would sooooo appreciate it! 


 


For the Buffy module that I am working on I wanted to add a Slayer Subrace.


 


Anyone willing to help me out with this? '<img'>

Sorry can't help with that. TBH I would probably have gone with a new prestige class for humans only rather than a subrace. I would have set the requirements as race human, class monk or fighter and level at 2 or 3.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that base module or the subrace system.  I never really watched Buffy but glancing at the Wiki I can see why you want Slayers to be a race rather than a class or subclass.


 


The method I have used for custom classes using CODI’s external character creator has an extensive write up here by Papermonk which includes custom race creation.  It’s not without complexity and thankfully I’m only using humans, so I don’t have to do it myself.  I don’t know whether this method would be of any use to you or practical on a PW… there are probably better ways of doing it… but it’s all I can recommend at the moment.

One simple way to do it is to search your module scripts for "satyr" or other similar subrace that is used by the system that is somewhat unique.


 


That will return all scripts that reference that subrace.  Look through each script - even it if isn't specifically part of the subrace system script set...other changes might have been made to other scripts to enable specific abilities or other ways to handle the subrace.


 


In each script,  see how the "satyr" race is handled.  Copy that relevant line or code block and add paste a set block beneath the one for the 'satyr' and then begin to customize it with how you want your subrace to be handled (positive/negative effects, stat boosts, etc...)


 


Make sure you comment your new additions well to note that these are specific to your module and what subrace you're adding (so that if you need to search in the future for your edits or that subrace, you can do so easily).


 


Lastly, document every step - what scripts you had to modify and how they work together (this script calls this other script, etc...).  Keep that reference sheet for when you want to add other subraces in the future.


 


Adding a subrace should be relatively simple in that fashion.
