PFRPG Extra Stat to Saves

This extension adds a second set of ability cyclers on the combat tab so that classes like paladins can add CHA (or any other ablity mod) to their saves (like what you can already do with AC ability stat).

I shortly tested and may have found a bug (or something not intended): When I take a second stat, then effects are not respected of that stat :) E.g. I take STR as second stat for Fort saves, then STR effects are not changing my fortitude as they maybe should :)

Oh, weird! That nearly defeats the point of this extension (since fixed bonuses are easy to add manually) :D

I will see how to resolve. Thanks for noticing that!

Here's v1.0.1 which includes the effects to the second stat as well (doh) :)

v1.1.0

On leveling up, class and level are checked. If the player character is a 2nd level or higher paladin and the 2nd save bonuses have not already been set to something, the second set of save save bonuses are set to charisma.
Also added extension version to on-load announcement so users can more easily tell if they are up to date

v2.0 is now released
I realized my save-versus-tags compatibility workaround of using xml scripts was less than ideal.
It made the scripts not run when the combat tab wasn't open (which meant that the effect bonuses to saving throws didn't always get added correctly).

I rewrote the whole thing 'the right way' without breaking compatibility with Save Versus Tags and FullOverlay Package (I think).

NOTE: if you have numbered entered in the Misc column, you will have to manually migrate/re-enter these numbers.

This is a screenshot before using this extension.

The bonuses from items are in "Mics" column.

It would be great to itemize these SAVES like the "Drain permanent bonus" extension for stats.

In the next screenshot with extension loaded, the "Misc" bonuses are zeroed out, but the totals are the same.

Thanks!

I'm not going to do the subwindow/list aproach as you can already do this via effects ("SAVE: 4 enhancement, will" for example) with automatic stacking.

Ah, yes; I see what happened with the misc bonuses.
I have released version 2.1 which takes care of bringing over the misc bonus for those who were using v1.X.X and have also restructured it to keep the misc bonus for those who were not using this extension previously.

Sometimes my players get confused too many items, etc. Overall it is not a to die for thing, PC Gen pr Hero Lab can track it for the most part. When using "Kelrugem" Anti Magic extension it would be nice, would need less checking inventory to make the new effect.

Quote:

Antimagic Field Armor; AC: -8 enchantment; AC: -4; SAVE: -5 resistance, will, fortitude; SAVE: -6 resistance, reflex; SAVE: -3 luck; STR: -6 enchantment; DEX: -2 enchantment; CON: -6 enchantment; CHA: -6 enchantment; ANTI

But I see what you mean keep up with that effect and it should be good. I noticed that enchantment was spelled "enchancement" in the "Ability Drain and Permanent" extension. it seems to work. I left my effects as enchancement for now,

That's really weird! It doesn't say that on my FG campaign, so it might be another extension you're using?

Regarding keeping track of the effects of many items (a problem I am very familiar with with my 16th level players), it gets a lot easier with rmilmine's extension (but then Kelrugem's save versus tags doesn't work yet).

I think I was misreading "enhancement", for some reason always thought it was "enchantment" LOL. Me bed, just got confused. Thanks!

Updated for feb 16th update.
v2.2

I made mistakes in updating my code (I had missed something).
Please download v2.3 if you have updated to current version of FG.

Getting a Script error now when double-clicking the saves, but can drag to get a result still, but same error.

Error that pops up: Script execution error: [string "scripts/manager_action_save_EStS.Lua"]:171:attempt to index global 'ActorManagaer2' (a nil value).

download the latest version of the extension (and probably any other extensions you use if you're that far behind with this one).

ok gotcha, weird that the one before didn't break until just this week though.

Perhaps you had been using Kelrugem's extension when it was not supported (which reverted your FG to pre-feb for most things).

It's breaking does line up with the update from that extension actually. So logic checks out for me.

Found an error in script manager_action_save_EStS.lua, line 35:
sAbility2 = DB.getValue(nodeActor, "saves." .. sSave .. ".ability2", ""); -- bmos adding second save ability
should be changed in:
sAbility2 = DB.getValue(nodePC, "saves." .. sSave .. ".ability2", ""); -- bmos adding second save ability

Another thing: would it be possible to change Loadorder from 30 to 36? With 36, this extension would be completely compatible with Kelrugem extended automation and overlays (which has Loadorder 35 and overwrites ActionSave.getRoll and ActionSave.modSave).

Thanks

Certainly. Eventually I hope to improve modSave_new as well so it calls modSave_old, but for now I will set it to 36.

I think the StrainInjury and/or the alternative overlay version has loadorder 36 instead, so, 37 may be even better :p (thanks :) )

So I just did more testing and it doesn't seem like the loadorder was the issue, although I have now set it to 37 just in case.
I had an issue with the order of an "if" statement so it was always treating the PC as if it was an NPC.
I also rewrote modSave_new as previously mentioned to append the existing output of any prior modSave_old.

Extra Stat to Saves v2.5
* Fix typo that was keeping second stat from being added and prompting script error. Thanks to cristmo for reporting this.
* No longer requires inclusion of Kel's code to remain compatible.
