[RSRD] Skeleton template broken - ID: 1514966
TYPE: CODE FREQ
Summary: Need better support - Discussion Required.

=====

Details:

From
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/message/91172

PCGen Version: SVN revision 1143

I tried to create a Tyrannosaurus Skeleton by first
applying the kit "Default Tyrannosaurus" to a new
character and then adding the template "Skeleton". I
found the following problems: the creature type is not
changed from "animal" to "undead", which means the BAB
is wrong. Also the increased natural armor bonus
granted by the template has no type, so it gets added
in to touch attack.

Stefan.

Hi Aaron, can you fill in the experimental threads to this tracker?

No he didn't.

There are a fair number of issues with the undead
templates (skeleton/zombie specifically). I believe I
have posted data proposals to handle them to experimental
already.

I have not looked at all the gory details of the template
until PCGen can better support some of the features needed.

Er, he did? I though that was a different problem. But maybe
I just missed something.

Aaron? Could you fill me in?

I think Aaron completed that work with his lycanthorpe stuff?

In that case I'm happy to leave this one until 5.12

I've investigated, the creature type is not being changed with the new
RACETYPE tag but it uses the old TYPE tag. However the BAB should be
uneffected either way, this template does not specify a change to that.

The AC bonus is indeed untyped where it should be TYPE=Natural. Oddly
enough this would mean no change to the T-Rex, it already has a +5 natural

bonus so the templates +3 would not come into effect at all. This brings
up a
question: is the skeleton natural bonus meant to replace the creatures
original bonus even if it is better? If so I don't think we can do that.

If we want to fix this for 5.10 the TYPE=Natural and RACETYPE tags can be

added but there are additional issues with the skeleton (and some other
undead) templates which Aaron is working on for 5.12.

Is this a 5.10 item Frank? - K
