NPC bugs
Alas.. there seems to be a few bugs when adding npc's and npc species.
I realized this when adding a few wild boars, when dragging from the personalities to the combat trackers when a race they did not generate new boars or in fact any stats at all.
Damage bonus is not applied to the rolls even when the damage roll is specified as 1d6+1+sb (this goes for the built in beasts as well as for the self-generated).
Oh, and when creating a new personality you can't seem to choose the hit-model aside from "custom" that actually displays except hitpoints on the CT.
We play-tested it rather extensively by starting to add a few old DoD adventures to it and I ran into this when starting to add and test NPCs.

I'll have a look at these over the weekend (sorry I didn't make the 20-minute deadline). In the mean time, can you post some steps to recreate the issues starting from a blank campaign?
Thanks

1. Create a new campaign
2. Create a new NPC in the personalities folder.
3. Add in a single attack. (Bite 33% 1d6+db)
4. Go to main. (Shows only POW stat)
5. Reset characteristics.
6. Add stats. (3d6+6 just to make sure I get a db)
7. Doubleclick the attack's damage on the NPC sheet. Note the lack of db.
8. Open combat tracker.
9. Drag creature (marked as race) to the tracker, note the lack of stats. (Hitpoints and/or stats rolled in the chatwindow)

Thanks Obe. Looks like some bug crept in late in the process, as this wasn't spotted in play testing. I think that the DB doesn't work from the NPC sheet by design - as there are some circumstances when an NPC may not have sufficient information to automate it - but I'll check that out again too.

I have to admitt this is a great ruleset, lets me replay some of the old DoD adventures I have kept around simpply because I loved them then and can still make them work and wow people.
I am actually thinking maybe I should module a few of them.... Hmmm.

This seems to have hit the spot on resolving all the given problems. And I can no longer replicate the body part hitpoint calculation problem.

Quote one of our main villains in one of the campaigns.

I suppose this means I will have to be more prolific for a while and actually get back to posting more and reading less. I have admittedly been a bit lax in the development area for a bit since I pretty much have the functionality I want in Ars Magica now and the big changes I kinda wanted to introduce proved to be a tad too advanced for me to pull off.
