----------------------------------------------------

I almost have an OS method worked out for this....  It is fully functional, but I have one little snag:

I'm using this code to isolate the first hit from a To Hit:
  <xsl:variable name="basehit" select="number(substring(to_hit,2,2))"/>

Where "to_hit" is defined in base.xml as:
  <to_hit>|WEAPON.%weap.TOTALHIT|</to_hit>

This works when there is only a single base attack (eg. +7), or when there are multiple attacks and the first is two digits (eg. +12/+7).
It bombs when there are multiple attacks and the first is a single digits (eg. +7/+2).

Does anyone have an idea to grab that first attack number?

It took me a while to figure out that PCGen uses Xalan for XSLT / XPATH... and Xalan doesn't have much in the line of string functions (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#section-String-Functions).

Thanks

> Feature Request for Pathfinder (and also D&D 3/3.5):
> Flurry of Blows attacks can be made with qualifying Monk weapons.
> So, it would be nice if the output sheets there was a row for the to-hit on Flurry of Blows attacks made with qualifying Monk weapons.
> I have attached a simple mockup of what I mean.  (In this example, the to-hit for unnarmed Flurry and the weapon Flurry are the same, but that won't always be true -- magic weapons and such)
