Starting choice questions

October 21, 2012 9:49 PM from

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
      

         &lt;Prereq&gt;
            &lt;Type&gt;RestrictedAbilityBonusOption&lt;/Type&gt;
            &lt;Attribute&gt;Defensive&lt;/Attribute&gt;
            &lt;Target&gt;Player&lt;/Target&gt;
        &lt;/Prereq&gt;

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

Code: xml

        &lt;AbilityBonus InternalName="PathOfTheMageAbility"&gt;
            &lt;AbilityBonusType&gt;Unit_Level&lt;/AbilityBonusType&gt;
            &lt;AbilityBonusOption InternalName="PathOfTheMage"&gt;
                &lt;DisplayName&gt;Path of the Mage&lt;/DisplayName&gt;
                &lt;Description&gt;-25% the mana cost for tactical spells, +50% spell damage and unlocks traits that improve spellcasting&lt;/Description&gt;
                &lt;Icon&gt;Ability_PathOfTheMage_Icon.png&lt;/Icon&gt;
                &lt;GameModifier&gt;
                    &lt;ModType&gt;Unit&lt;/ModType&gt;
                    &lt;Attribute&gt;AdjustUnitStat&lt;/Attribute&gt;
                    &lt;StrVal&gt;UnitStat_TacticalSpellManaCost_Multiplier&lt;/StrVal&gt;
                    &lt;Value&gt;-0.25&lt;/Value&gt;
                    &lt;Provides&gt;-25% mana cost for tactical spells&lt;/Provides&gt;
                &lt;/GameModifier&gt;
                &lt;GameModifier&gt;
                    &lt;ModType&gt;Unit&lt;/ModType&gt;
                    &lt;Attribute&gt;AdjustUnitStat&lt;/Attribute&gt;
                    &lt;StrVal&gt;UnitStat_SpellDamage&lt;/StrVal&gt;
                    &lt;Value&gt;0.5&lt;/Value&gt;
                    &lt;Provides&gt;+50% Spell Damage&lt;/Provides&gt;
                &lt;/GameModifier&gt;
                &lt;HideWhenUpgraded&gt;0&lt;/HideWhenUpgraded&gt;
                &lt;Likelihood&gt;1&lt;/Likelihood&gt;
                &lt;RarityDisplay&gt;Rare&lt;/RarityDisplay&gt;
                &lt;MinimumLevel&gt;4&lt;/MinimumLevel&gt;
                &lt;RequiredLevel&gt;4&lt;/RequiredLevel&gt;
                &lt;Type&gt;Spell&lt;/Type&gt;
            &lt;Prereq&gt;
                &lt;Type&gt;RestrictedAbilityBonusOption&lt;/Type&gt;
                &lt;Attribute&gt;Blood_Quendar&lt;/Attribute&gt;
                &lt;Target&gt;Player&lt;/Target&gt;
            &lt;/Prereq&gt;
                 &lt;AIData AIPersonality="AI_General"&gt;
                    &lt;AIPriority&gt;5&lt;/AIPriority&gt;
                &lt;/AIData&gt;
            &lt;/AbilityBonusOption&gt;
        &lt;/AbilityBonus&gt;
