Adding Custom Stuff to CB

Jan 27, 2009 7:36:29 How can I do this such that it affects my PCs stats?

e.g. I have a PC with a "Star of Valor" item which grants him +5 diplomacy. I can add this as a custom item and make a note of it but it doesn't affect his Diplomacy skill. I can't find a way to make the item give him +5 diplomacy, nor to adjust the Diplomacy Skill by adding +5 to his Misc column. Can I do this?

e.g. I have a PC with a house ruled trait which adds +1 to Will Defense. Is there any way at all I can add this to my PC?

Is there a manual/online help/tuorial for the CB which would tell me how to do this stuff?

Thanks all

Jan 27, 2009 7:41:31 All you can do at this point is add the item and the notes. There's no capability for homebrew/houseruled stuff to affect the calculated stats at this point, though mdonais says they're thinking about how to do it.

I haven't tried, but is it possible to add a miscellaneous bonus manually on the character sheet? That might be a stopgap.

Jan 27, 2009 7:46:54 I was able to increase my druid's speed from 6 to 7 (well, technically he should get the speed bump, being a primal predator, but that's for the bug report thread).

All I did was click on the total value, and then change the number. I was pleasantly surprised to find a prompt that gave me the option to include why the speed was changed. After that, the 1 extra square appeared in miscellaneous, and my character got the "house ruled" tag.

I'd imagine you could do the same to skills.

Yeah, that worked - thanks.

Although I can't see any place where this custom adjustment and comment is saved in the Character Sheet or builder. Can you give me a hint.

Edit: You seem to be able to edit most stuff this way which is handy. On the down side there is no way to remove them that I can see (other than editting it back to the orginal value). I would be nice to have a "recalc" button to recalculate your character stats that you edit.
