Thanks for reporting the problem. A couple of other people have mentioned it - and they have ranged weapons with the range showing "0" - I'll investigate adding some code to check for ranged = 0 in the ranged weapon action entry and set to the range of the base weapon record. I'm just trying to think if there's any reason someone would manually set their range to 0, as I wouldn't want to override that.Quote:

There's also an "issue" with shields having no entries for HP and then there's an error saying "no unbroken shield equipped" (or something along those lines). Obviously as soon as you know what the issue is, it's an easy one-time fix but we were struggling to find out why this was happening at first. Especially as it was on characters that don't actually have shield block and therefore don't use the shield HP mechanics.
The rules are that broken items can't be used - so a broken shield can't be used to add its AC when raised. A shield entry not having any HP is the issue here. Was the shield manually created or is it from a product?Quote:

Is it still possible to specify a value if you want? Some classes have effects that modify the effective hardness of their shield (champion is a big one) and I could see that you might not want to edit the actual item entry because it becomes a game of "wait, is 10 the actual base hardness of the shield, or did I already add in the bonus?" There are also effects like Everstand Stance that situationally modify shield hardness.Quote:

(Also by the way this is a great update; don't want you thinking I don't appreciate all the hard work that goes into these. :) )
Yes, I've left in SHIELDBLOCK: XX to override the base shield hardness.Quote:

I wish the skill choice in the Skill Check automation list used the skills tab as its choices.
