Hello!
I was experimenting with different builds and noticed that the Bard archetype "Dawnflower Dervish" is missing from the YAPCG. It might be that I haven't set the right areas in the program to make it appear, but when I create a bard and set their deity to Sarenrae, the option for this archetype does not appear. I am in version 4.6a.
The source material I am using for this is: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/bard/archetypes/paizo---bard-archetypes/dawnflower-dervish
Has this been implemented already in YAPCG and I'm just blind? Or is this character build so esoteric that it just hasn't been inserted yet?

It has not been implemented yet. I will add it to the list of source material, but it will probably be a while before I can get it into the application.
In the mean time, you could use the custom class options to implement this, if you need any help, just let me know.
Thanks for letting me know! I figured that it wasn't implemented yet given how far off the beaten path the archetype was, but it never hurts to verify!
I was playing around with the custom class section, but I couldn't figure out how to assign default feats. Is this something that I should just include in the feats section separately? Maybe just add a house rule to allow the feat?
With this being said, is the Dervish Dance feat implemented? I bet that this probably came from the same source material as the Dawnflower Dervish, so it seems likely that it might not be there yet!

Also, when I made a custom class and gave it a weapon proficiency of Scimitar, actually equipping them with a scimitar results in YAPCG indicating that they are not proficient with the weapon. If I set the class to be proficient with all martial weapons, this goes away. (Perhaps I should report this as a separate bug?)
Finally, is there a way to enter more Skills in the custom class that what is available now? The Dawnflower is a type of Bard, who already gets an insane amount of class skills, so trying to fit them all in is proving problematic!
I know that I've mentioned this before, but I LOVE this tool. Very easy to use and quite powerful!
I will try to answer the questions individually
1) For assigning default feats, you have two options:
a) You can enter the "feat" as a class ability. In other words, you can copy the text from the sourcebook into the class ability section and it will show up at the indicated level.
b) You can manually select the feat when your character gains the level. (If necessary, you can use the User Selected Bonus Feat Slots at the bottom.
2) Dervish Dance has not been implemented
3) This weapon proficiency will be fixed in the next version. If you are going to play between now and this weekend, you can also create a "custom" Scimitar under the custom weapon selection and manually give yourself the weapon proficiency. If you are not going to play before this weekend, then you can just wait and it will fix itself with the next release.
4) With regard to Class Skills, I can look into adding extra Class Skills. Twenty Class Skills seemed like a lot, but when you create a bard-like character, I can see now that it doesn't really give you enough. I will see if I can add another 10 Class Skill Boxes before the next release.
Awesome! You're my hero!
I'm not playing with this character for another week or so, so no rush. I can easily make use of the work arounds that you suggested, so I wouldn't stress about making any changes.
Should I go ahead and mark this closed? Or should I leave this ticket open until the Dervish stuff has been implemented?
Lets leave it open so I keep track of it.
Alrighty.
I set up the custom class and even added both Dervish Dance and Harmonic Spell to the feat list. I updated the code such that the attack values would work so I think that I'm all set there.
The only thing that I can't figure out is how to set it such that my custom class is recognized as a Bard so that I can get the Spells page to properly print out the spells. Any ideas on how to work around this?
In the next release, you will be able to adjust the spell level for any spell casting class. (Not from the Custom Class Page, but from within the spell page.)
I have finally made my way to the Inner Sea Magic. The Dawnflower Dervish archetype is natively supported in YAPCG starting in version 7.5.
