PFRPG Ability Drain and Permanent Bonuses

I love the extension, but it doesn't interact well with the Mythic Adventures book because the Pathfinder ruleset treats a mythic tier as a level, and this extension appears to count the levels for calculating CON bonus, which you cannot edit. That's not really the fault of this extension; just the result of treating the mythic tier as a level.

Can you just go to the list of classes and set the mythic level to 0 and add the tier to the name?

If I set the name to "Champion 2" and the level value to 0, then Champion 2 does not appear at all on the main tab of the character sheet. Really, this is more of an issue with the LiveHP extension than this one.

Darn, I don't see any easy workaround for that.

I hacked 3.5E\scripts\manger_char.lua to fix that.

function calcLevel(nodeChar)
local nLevel = 0;

for _,nodeChild in pairs(DB.getChildren(nodeChar, "classes")) do
local sClass = DB.getValue(nodeChild, "name", "");
if (sClass ~= "Archmage" and sClass ~= "Champion" and sClass ~= "Guardian" and sClass ~= "Hierophant" and sClass ~= "Marshal" and sClass ~= "Trickster") then
nLevel = nLevel + DB.getValue(nodeChild, "level", 0);
end
end

DB.setValue(nodeChar, "level", "number", nLevel);
end

That's fair! Probably worth making an extension for it or suggesting that it be included in the ruleset (although for that you'd also want to check if the ruleset is running in PFRPG mode or not).

Because of what Mythic does, shouldn't it be a module and an extension on its own? That way, if you aren't playing with it, it shouldn't affect normal play.

Well, it began with a couple of bmos' extensions getting broken by Mythic Adventures, which is why I raised the issue here originally. It's way beyond the scope of these extensions, which are not at fault.

So one of the workarounds in the official module bug thread (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post537124), is to make a copy of them in the class sidebar tab and then remove the extra material. This should workaround the levels, hit points, skills, BAB, etc. That may alleviate some of the breaking of extensions.

Yeah, that's what I did. It's pretty disappointing to see this was from two years ago and it still isn't fixed. I actually just created my own module.
