Summary: 5.6 RC-3 Bug - Prestige Domain Spells

Initial Comment:
Prestige domain spells are not showing up at all.  This is 
using the CMP Defenders of Faith source, so I can't say 
whose problem this is.

This is in 3.0

I'm probably most familiar with domains spells and the spell
tab.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have not upgraded past 
PCGen version 5.6. However, someone with the newest 
version could easily test this bug by following the steps I 
went through in my message dated 2004-03-01. Hope this 
helps.

Is this still a valid tracker?

I have the same problem (i think) with a custom prestige 
class I created pre 5.4.0.

In 5.4 my domain spells were correctly displayed as spell 
choices. In 5.6.0 (release) I don't get the domain spells 
displayed at all as choices.

My particular prestige class adds a domain to a Sorceror (as 
per the rules in Tome and Blood), so my main char isn't a 
cleric. I can correctly select the domain, but no spells show 
up.

My Prestige class was hand created (not comfortable with 
the LST editors). Originally in the customsource directory, 
Later moved to its own Source folder, although I don't think 
that should make a difference.

Have tested using 5.6 release. Still a problem. See below.

= = = = =

Windows 2000 SP 3
Java 1.4.1_03
PCGen 5.60, clean install
load only RSRD file

### first I will test creating a custom Domain, Spell, and 
Deity to see if it works

Tools | List Editor
Domain | New
create the Blaster domain
Save

Spells | Copy
make a copy of Magic Missile
rename it to Blaster Missile
on the Domains tab, select it as a Blaster=1 domain spell
Save

Deity | New
create the BlasterGod
he is True Neutral
his domains are Blaster (custom), Destruction, and Death
his followers can be NE, NG, TN
Save

Close List Editor

create a new 1st level human cleric with 14 Wis and other 
abilities 10
alignment is NG
add a cleric level
go to Domains tab and select BlasterGod as deity
on right frame, highlight and select Blaster and Destruction 
domains

go to Spells tab
in left frame, open Cleric | Level 1 | Domains
Blaster Missile [Blaster] and Inflict Light Wounds [Destruction] 
correctly show up as Domain spells

check HTML output sheet via Preview command
BlasterGod correctly shows up as Deity, and Domain spells 
show up in spell listing

Close character

### next I will create a Feat that adds another Domain
### this will test a cleric with two regular Domains who adds 
one custom Domain

Tools | List Editor
Feat | New
create a General feat called Extra Domain
on the Advanced tab, add BONUS:DOMAIN|NUMBER|1
Save & Close

create a new 1st level human cleric with 14 Wis and other 
abilities 10
alignment is NG
add a cleric level
go to Domains tab and select BlasterGod as deity
on right frame, highlight and select Death and Destruction 
domains

go to Spells tab
in left frame, open Cleric | Level 1 | Domains
Cause Fear [Death] and Inflict Light Wounds [Destruction] 
correctly show up as Domain spells

check HTML output sheet via Preview command
BlasterGod correctly shows up as Deity, and regular Domain 
spells show up in spell listing

go back to character
on Feats tab, add Extra Domain feat

go to Domains tab
highlight and select Blaster domain

go to Spells tab
in left frame, open Cleric | Level 1 | Domains
Blaster Missile [Blaster] also shows up as a Domain spell
however, in right frame, Blaster Missile does not show up in 
Cleric | Level 1 spell list

check HTML output sheet via Preview command
BlasterGod correctly shows up as Deity, and all three Domains 
are listed
however, Blaster Missile is not listed in 1st level spells

### some portion of the custom domain function is not 
working correctly
### also, if you create a custom domain with regular RSRD 
spells in it,
### there is no easy way to add those spells to the domain
### (because you cannot Edit an RSRD spell under List 
Editor, only Copy it)

Let's table this until the 5.6 stable release is available. I will 
then test this situation again using both LST editor and hand-
coded prestige domains. Thanks.

Erk, OK, I think you've got a problem with the methodology 
here.  the customX.lst files are the ones that get written to 
by the LST Editors.

You are correct the LST editors aren't the flashest, its best 
to hand code these things.

Have you read the docs on hand coding LST files?  Another 
option is to add some lines into the existing official data sets.

The prestige domain spells are showing up for the official 
datasets so I _think_ the code is sound

Response to karianna's question, "how did you make this 
prestige domain?" Answer: I wrote it into customDomains.lst 
and also rsrd_spells.lst (add/modify the DOMAINS tag to any 
spell that is part of a domain). I did *not* use PCGen's .lst 
editor, because I don't like it.

I am reasonably sure I did everything right. The domain shows 
up as selectable for the appropriate deity, and when you 
select it, it kicks in the appropriate bonuses that I coded 
(e.g. bonus to Turning Damage).

But the domain spells are not selectable on the Spells tab. Is 
it possible that PCGen is hard-coded only to look for (the 
first) two domains you possess, when considering spells?

If you'd like to take a look at my files, e-mail me... I can't 
figure out how to post them here (new at this Sourceforge 
stuff). Thanks!

How did you make this custom prestige domain?

Confirmed that this is also an error with 3.5 RSRD loaded, and 
a custom-entered prestige domain (non-CMP).
