Need help adding a ne talent to custom template

[concord]

There are two, Simulate Death and Universal Translator... both are coded with their name (see below) instead of as talent with an xmlid... I think both of these are special in that they have hard coded effects that cannot be reproduced by adding a new talent with the talent with an xmlid code...

<SIMULATE_DEATH SHOWDIALOG="No" DISPLAY="Simulate Death" BASECOST="3" LVLCOST="1" LVLVAL="1" EXCLUSIVE="Yes">
<UNIVERSAL_TRANSLATOR DISPLAY="Universal Translator" SHOWDIALOG="No" STOPSIGN="Yes" BASECOST="20" LVLCOST="1" LVLVAL="1" EXCLUSIVE="Yes">

<TALENT XMLID="PERFECT_PITCH" SHOWDIALOG="No" DISPLAY="Perfect Pitch" BASECOST="3" EXCLUSIVE="Yes">

Nope just custom talent entry..You have to figure up the roll..You simple add in the cost to character and then the roll as well..It will work..Just thought about making it easier on players..not a huge deal

[tiger]

Yes. Combat Sense

[mayapuppies]

Yes. Combat Sense

Have you tried copying the code for this and renaming it appropriately to display as a new Talent?

[tiger]

yea..when I do it gives me the needs < or/> error. Even though they are there.

[mayapuppies]

ok, that I can work with. Can you post the code for Combat Sense?

[tiger]

Try this one..no adders..Roll based on INT..actually prefer flat roll of 11-less..but can live with it

<UNIVERSAL_TRANSLATOR DISPLAY="Universal Translator" SHOWDIALOG="No" STOPSIGN="Yes"
BASECOST="20" LVLCOST="1" LVLVAL="1" EXCLUSIVE="Yes">
<CHARACTERISTIC_CHOICE>
<ITEM CHARACTERISTIC="INT" BASECOST="20" LVLCOST="1" LVLVAL="1" />
</CHARACTERISTIC_CHOICE>
<DEFINITION>A character with this Talent
can understand any form of communication - from verbal speech, to obscure body
language, to written text.</DEFINITION>
</UNIVERSAL_TRANSLATOR>

Next question:

Are you working in 5E or 6E?

[tiger]

6e

[tiger]

Well I have this working..However, the roll doesn't show. Should say GEN 11-less..but alas nothing

<TALENT XMLID="Magic Resistance" DISPLAY="Magic Resistance" SHOWDIALOG="No" STOPSIGN="Yes"
BASECOST="20" LVLCOST="1" LVLVAL="1" EXCLUSIVE="Yes">
<CHARACTERISTIC_CHOICE>
<ITEM CHARACTERISTIC="GENERAL" BASECOST="15" LVLCOST="3" LVLVAL="1" />
</CHARACTERISTIC_CHOICE>
<DEFINITION>A character with this Talent
can understand any form of communication - from verbal speech, to obscure body
language, to written text.</DEFINITION>
</TALENT>

[mayapuppies]

Yeah, I don't think it's possible to integrate a custom Talent that does what you want.

[tiger]

yea can get everything but the roll.. figures..just have to use custom talent instead..was just trying for an easier way..no a huge problem
