Size modifiers for DCV

[Silbeg]

This may be something that is just too impractical to implement, but I was wondering if it would be possible to flag the DCV mods for size modificaton powers (Growth, Shrinking) to add/subtract to the primary/secondary/none DCV.

If possible, this would then allow the DCV to reflect the size modification on the export character sheet, as well as the characteristic tab in HD.

This would then scream, of course, for a modification to the <!--DCV--> tag, in that you would need to have the child cells of primary/secondary/total.

If this isn't possible, would it be possible to extract out the size mods for these, so that we could display them somewhere? Could be a new export tag, or perhaps encorporated into the <!--COMBAT_LEVELS--> tag.

Just a suggestion! :angel:

Thanks, Dan!

Not a valid concept.

Growth is intended for characters that can <i>change</i> their size. The DCV mods are not constant and will vary according to the actual size of the character at any given point.

It is a perfectly valid concept to be able to list out DCV when it is modified by common factors.

Look at PCGen, it will list out Armor Class, Flat-footed AC, Touch AC, and a variety of others.

You could list out DCV, DCV with DCV skill levels, DCV with all DCV affecting powers, DCV with chosen affecting powers, DCV with chosen martial manuevers, DCV by Encumberance, DCV by Encumberance for each of the above.

Nope.

60 pt.s Growth. What should be listed? The max? That's no more valid than 0, since they may not be using Growth at the maximum level. They may only be using 5 pts. worth of Growth. Or they may not be using it at all. Or they may be using 15 pts. worth.

It is an invalid concept and will not be implemented.

If you have a bunch of adjustment powers in a multi etc... like growth and di and shrink maybe the best thing to do is use a spreadsheet to pump out a table of combos that are generally used. Doesn't look like a job for hero designer.
