Need help adding a ne talent to custom template

[tiger]

Hey

I've been trying and trying to add a new talent to a custom template and keep getting one error after another.

I want to add a talent for 10pts this gives you a base roll of 10-less and +1 for 3 pts. Not based of a characteristic just a flat 10-less roll..could some one help me with the code please

[tiger]

Here's the code I using..It keeps coming up with one error or another

<TALENT XMLID="Magic Resistance" SHOWDIALOG="No" DISPLAY="Magic Resistance" MINCOST="10" ROLL="11" BASECOST="10">
<BASECOST="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1" />

<DEFINITION> </DEFINITION>
</TALENT>

What are the error messages?

[tiger]

usally something about adding > or /> at a particular spot like after basecost..I do and same message appears

[concord]

Try this...

<TALENT XMLID="Magic Resistance" SHOWDIALOG="No" DISPLAY="Magic Resistance" MINCOST="10" BASECOST="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1">
<DEFINITION> </DEFINITION>
</TALENT>

I don't get the errors anymore. But the price doesn't change when you add levels.

I'm also trying to get the roll to show on the sheet and with each lvl added..not having any luck

I'm using this..based it off other abilities with roll.. Don't work

<TALENT XMLID="Magic Resistance" SHOWDIALOG="No" DISPLAY="Magic Resistance" MINCOST="10" ROLL="11" BASECOST="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1">
<DEFINITION>This talent allows a character resistance to magic spells and effects </DEFINITION>
</TALENT>

Got the points adjusting by using this code

<TALENT XMLID="Magic Resistance" SHOWDIALOG="No" DISPLAY="Magic Resistance" BASECOST="10" LVLCOST="3" LVLVAL="1" LEVELSTART="0">
<DEFINITION>This talent allows a character resistance to magic spells and effects </DEFINITION>
</TALENT>

Still trying to figure out how to get the roll to show and adjust

I don't believe there is any way to get the roll to display.

Correct, not in Talents at least. Move it to Skills or Powers and you won't have any problems.

Are you sure about that? I didn't think there was any way to customize the output for those either. I guess using a Skill would display the Roll so that might work.

[mayapuppies]

With powers you just add RSR and you've got your skill roll...or at least that's how I fudge it.

[tiger]

Guess I'll just have to use custom talent instead of adding it to a template. A roll will show up then, thanks for the help anyway

[mayapuppies]

Can you add in a custom talent and then post the code here? I'd like to take a look at that.

Here Ya Go

<TALENT XMLID="CUSTOMTALENT" ID="1324324380105" BASECOST="0.0" LEVELS="14" ALIAS="Custom Talent" POSITION="5" MULTIPLIER="1.0" GRAPHIC="Burst" COLOR="255 255 255" SFX="Default" SHOW_ACTIVE_COST="Yes" INCLUDE_NOTES_IN_PRINTOUT="Yes" NAME="Magic Risistance" ROLL="13">
<NOTES />
</TALENT>

Ok, so the problem isn't in the Talent displaying a Roll, it's in getting the Roll to have the ability to have levels added to it.

I'm pretty certain that functionality isn't available in a Talent (as opposed to a Skill).

Is there an existing Talent that has this functionality?
