I have a 7th level Pathfinder Hunter with one level of Ranger.  I added the Magical Knack trait (designating Hunter as class) to boost my caster level to 8.  However, it didn't work.  I build a Hunter 8/Ranger 1 from scratch with Magical Knack.  Same thing.

Thanks, I had indeed missed a detail. I had thought the Dream Scarred Press info could be added. Finally realized it is only available under Pathfinder. 
Again, thanks.

Andrew of Gwen can chime in here, but it looks like there is a conflict with your work directory.

Specifically this
C:/Users/fitzs/Documents/PcGen/PcGen%20Workspace/homebrew/conversion_support/conversion_support.pcc

Do you have your homebrew, custom or vender location set to point at that location and also copied it into the Homebrew data folder?

I'm coming back to 'after a absence of about 6 years. Started with 6.06.01 and did
not have a problem with my Pathfinder characters.

Last week decided to update to 6.07.06 and have trouble getting Pathfinder to load,
started downloading backward; 6.07.01, 6.07.03, 6.07.04, 6.07.05 all have the same
problem.

Its been too long for me to figure this out, can someone tell me where to look to fix
this? 6.06.01 works, these don't and I would like to know how I mussed it up.

Hi,

RSRD (Revised System Resource Document) Complete has all the rules that are legal for the WotC 3.5 game system.

Or are you talking about something else?

I'm clueless so explain slowly with small words. How do I add psionics to the WOTC 3.5 side of RC4?

Well, they aren't in any book, which means they'd be entered as a web supplement. Secondly, Paul would need to verify we can include those.

The team isn't in the habit of focusing on web blogs for source material. People request books and books is what we deliver.

If anyone is having issues with the latest releases on their mac we have a channel specifically setup for you. Just go here and as for @Tergan.

Does BONUS:SKILLRANK allow variables?  Could one use BONUS:SKILLRANK|Bluff,Listen|TL to give bonus skill ranks that automatically increase with character level?

Adding my two cents as well, so far many FAQ and Rules questions have been answered by James Jacobs, while the official FAQ are answered by someone else, they merely repeat in a more formal manner what J.J. already answered in a forum post.

He's the only one actively answering on the forums as far as I know, and I haven't seen (take this with a grain of salt, I'm far from reading every post from J.J.) him corrected by someone else from the Rules team at Paizo, so far his words are taken as ruling by the community.

Besides, what he said is basically written in the SDR under the Ability Score rules. Unless there's an exception like the Headband of Vast Intelligence.
But OP said he doesn't wear a HoV but a house-ruled magic item giving a +2 to his Int score. This means it would retroactively give him skill points he could allocate as he wants to.

Now his question was if there's any way in PCGen to link an item to what has been retroactively given by this item (in this case, skill points are the only thing that needs tracking beside the usual modifiers from the +2 to Int). Paul Grosse answered that for now, there's no such way to track it beside some work-around (tracking it in the description tab of the item, etc). This could become a nice suggestion, not a high priority one but eventually, it would be nice to be able to track this kind of thing.

PS: two of you may receive this for the second time, sorry about it, for some reason my e-mail wasn't registered anymore.

Just my two cents… Agreed that James Jacobs perhaps doesn’t officially have final say on rules questions. But he is authoritative and at a level way up in orbit above anyone in the PCGen team as to what is or is not Pathfinder. In other words, James’ comment should be considered valid with respect to what PCGen *should* do unless and until overruled by someone higher up in Paizo.

James Jacobs is creative director, he's responsible for the direction of the

story of Golarion, not for Rules. No, James does not have the final say.

Isnt the headband of vast intelligence an exception  to this 

Permanent Bonuses: Ability bonuses with a duration greater than 1 day actually increase the relevant ability score after 24 hours. Modify all skills and statistics as appropriate. This might cause you to gain skill points, hit points, and other bonuses. These bonuses should be noted separately in case they are removed

According to this site then I would get more skill points. It has a quote from James Jacobs about this but I am not clear who he is and does he have the final say so

Yes I did read that 
I never said the item I am wearing is a  headband of vast intelligence,  its an item that doesn't exist in any of the books and it gives me a plus 2 permanent bonuses to  intelligence and it does not have any restrictions about skill points.  

 

You need to read further down:

The most prominent exception is the Headband of Vast Intelligence, which gives you extra skill points but locks them to one specific skill and doesn't let you choose. However this is NOT to be generalized to other items; for example the robe of runes and some intelligence-boosting ioun stones do not explicitly bear this restriction and therefore would give you skill points as normal. It's tricky though, because even other similar intelligence-boosting ioun stones do have that same restriction! An item follows the general rule of giving back skill points unless it has a clause saying it doesn't. And if it doesn't, make sure and note what you spend those skill points on in case you lose them.
