[Pcgen-trackers] [JIRA] Commented: (CODE-160) [Pathfinder] CR issues

[JIRA (f. S. R. ) <ji...@pc...>]

Stefan Radermacher commented on CODE-160:
-----------------------------------------

The problem here is that the formula lists correctly lists CL, however this is *per class*, which means CR is not generally reduced by 1 but by X where X is the number of classes. The Pathfinder CR calculation is difficult to apply here.

>                 URL: http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/CODE-160
>             Project: Code
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 5.16.2, 5.16.3 RC1, 5.17.3 (Alpha)

> PCGen 5.16.2 & 5.16.3RC1 & 5.17.3
> There are several bugs in the CR area for Pathfinder.
> How to demonstrate the problem.
> 1. Load the Pathfinder Core Rules, Bestiary and Traits
> 2. Create a character using a PC race, alignment/stats don't matter
> 3. Add a PC class level (fighter for instance)
>     CR = 1/2 = Ok
> 4. Add same PC class as step 3 (fighter)
>     CR = 1 = Ok
> 5 Add a different PC class (cleric for instance)
>     CR = 1 = Wrong, it should be 2
> 6. Add same PC class as step 5 (cleric)
>     CR = 2 = Wrong, it should be 3
> The "rule" for Pathfinder CR for PCs is Level 1 CR = 1/1, Level 2 CR = 1, Level 3 CR = 2, etc. (ie. Total Class levels - 1). I have looked at the builds in several of the PF RPG Adventure Paths and this is the case.
> Looking in mscinfo.lst under the Pathfinder Gamemode:
> CLASSTYPE:PC		CRFORMULA:max(CL-1,0)	ISMONSTER:NO	XPPENALTY:NO
> which I thought would have been correct. I also tried chaninging CL-1 to TL-1, and the resulting CR is even wonkier.
> Another issue, create a Level 1 Goblin Bard and it still shows as CR = 1/3 (default Goblin CR), and not CR = 1/2
