Starting choice questions

October 21, 2012 9:49:58 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

When you first start making a new sovereign you pick a class sort of thing. Is it possible to use this to have traits that are unobtainable by them

For example: To have a class that is unable to select any magical traits

To answer your question, sovereign choices give you a bonus.   They do not lock you out of taking things.  However you do have a limited number of points in which to use.

The custom sov screen does not support it, but the level-up screen does.

How would you lock out things when the character levels up?

Abilities can have prerequisites.   Those prerequisites could be to exclude other abilities.  Blood traits are a perfect example of this.

 

Code: xml
  1.       </p>         <Prereq>
  2.             <Type>RestrictedAbilityBonusOption</Type>
  3.             <Attribute>Defensive</Attribute>
  4.             <Target>Player</Target>
  5.         </Prereq>

You can restrict Quendar from being able to have "Path of the Mage" by adding the below prerequisite.

Code: xml
  1. <p>        <AbilityBonus InternalName="PathOfTheMageAbility">
  2.             <AbilityBonusType>Unit_Level</AbilityBonusType>
  3.             <AbilityBonusOption InternalName="PathOfTheMage">
  4.                 <DisplayName>Path of the Mage</DisplayName>
  5.                 <Description>-25% the mana cost for tactical spells, +50% spell damage and unlocks traits that improve spellcasting</Description>
