I have a monk character, and I'm trying to figure out a way to list his flurry attack (which works exactly like the Two Weapon Fighting Feat, except it also gives a bonus to BAB) on his combat sheet. When it try to put it in as a weapon and give it 2 attacks, it automatically calculates the bonuses but uses the heavy penalties for normal double attacking and does not apply the special BAB bonus. The problem is, I can't seem to manually adjust the entry on the combat page to adapt it.

I am thinking that I may have to specially construct a customized roll on my hotkey bar when I get into the game, but is that the only way to get around this (other than simply rolling a die and manually adding modifiers and such)?

Hope this is clear enough, and as always thanks for any help.

You can make adjustments by holding down ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel to make up for the heavy penalties on normal attacks. You will still face the problem of not having more than 4 attacks at higher levels, but then you could make a second "weapon" entry for the remaining ones.

Adding an example from the 10th lvl monk in our previous campaign.

Thanks, Leonal. That's exactly what I needed, and it works great.

Okay, I'm stumbling around with this stuff and have encountered what I think is another problem.

In a terribly flawed attempt to create a library module, I accidentally exported a campaign module. Now it appears in my module activation window and when I open it, it appears in my library. Should that be the case? If not, how can I fix it?

Thanks again!

Regarding the Pathfinder Spells mod:

You have to use it as a .mod file. (don't unpack it)

If you zip the three files, change the extension from .zip to .mod and place it in your modules folder it should appear.

I've done this and can see the PF Spells mod file in my Modules directory but ... no module appears when I open a campaign in FGII.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. As indicated by both Griogre and Leonal, I downloaded the zipped spell module (to my desktop), changed the extension to .mod, and placed it in the FG AppData Modules directory. It's there and it's a MOD file. When I open it with WinRAR, its contents read the same as, say, the CSRD spells MOD (i.e., definition and client xmls and a thumbnail png).

Is there a final step I'm missing? I, too, am using Vista but haven't encountered this problem in the past when adding or creating my own modules.

Any pointers would be mucho appreciated.

There might be a couple of problems. You should double check the extention of the module file is still .mod and not .zip several "helpful" programs will automatically change the extention from mod back to zip if you move the file.

You should also double check you activated the module or the right module. If you have serveral modules with different file names but the same internal names it's unprediticable what will be displayed if anything.

The other problem might be your ruleset name. Most modules are tied to a ruleset in the definition.xml file if your ruleset name does not match *exactly* the name in the definition file the module file won't show up for that ruleset.

Thanks, Griogre. I understand the first and last of your troubleshooting suggestions and will follow-up on them tomorrow. I'm not certain I understand your second regarding the activation of the module. Are you referring to the activation of a module within a running campaign or am I misinterpreting your statement? If so, there is no Pathfinder Spells module to be found to activate and I have checked to ensure that the module is not activating under the title of an existing spell module.

If you could clarify your second stated possibility, I'd greatly appreciate it. You've always been a big help in the past and I can't begin to tell you how much you're appreciated in this community.

As always, if I find success I'll repost to let others know what I did in the event they encounter similar hiccups.

BTW, I'm using the latest version of d20_JPG w/ the latest Pathfinder extension.

This was the problem. The definition.xml file shows "Pathfinder" as the ruleset. In my case, d20_JPG is the ruleset I use and Pathfinder is only an extension. Changing "Pathfinder" to "d20_JPG" fixed the problem right away.

Thanks again, Griogre. You're so swell you're swollen. :D

Has anyone else reported a bug in the PF Spells mod that produces the following error message when attemting to access Cleric Spells by Domain?

Ruleset Error: Control 'domainspelllist' anchoring to an undefined control 'grantedpower'

In addition, all spell links in this particular section of the module are blank.

Everything else seems to work fine, however.

Glad I could help.

For completeness the second possiblity would more likely come if you were using /export and indexing a library entry. In the /export pop up you called you module Library and gave it a file name lib and then later on did either another version or a different module where you called your module Library again and gave it a different file name library. Because the file names are different the modules won't overwrite each other but on the module activation screen it will only show one module and when I activated the one that showed up nothing happened. As I remember one time the modules with the common names didn't appear in the activation window either but I could be mistaken.

I can t figure out how to launch the pathfinder extentions what the exact path? I try to creat a Extentions foler in the D20 Jpg rule set folder but it didn t work.
