Description
Setting up Natural Attack Block - Useful for Attacks that get special abilities. Very Basic Currently;
How To Use: You need to make an ABILITY, Here is a sample:
Bite
CATEGORY:Natural Attack
TYPE:NaturalAttack
ASPECT:NaturalAttackName|Bite
[This is the name of the Attack that will display]
ASPECT:NaturalAttackToHit|%1|BAB+STR
[Formula to give the correct attack, will need a special set up or alt var if you want Weapon Focus or Greater Weapon Focus to work, there is NO proficiency associated with this "attack"]
ASPECT:NaturalAttackDamage|%1d%2|BiteDamageDice|BiteDamageSize
[Sets your damage, the nice thing is these are variable, however, these are NOT size dependent. But you can adjust the damage]
DEFINE:BiteDamageDice|0
DEFINE:BiteDamageSize|0
BONUS:VAR|BiteDamageDice|1
BONUS:VAR|BiteDamageSize|6
ASPECT:NaturalAttackDamageBonus|%1|STR
ASPECT:NaturalAttackReach|%1|REACH.VAL
ASPECT:NaturalAttackType|Bludgeoning
ASPECT:NaturalAttackThreatRange|%1|BiteThreatRange
DEFINE:BiteThreatRange|0
BONUS:VAR|BiteThreatRange|20
For Special Attack Notes, you may either use DESC:x, or ASPECT:NaturalAttackNotes|x ASPECT would be used for just one note, DESC can take PRExxx and would be ideal if your attack can be given other things, such as level based increases.
What can this not do - Iterative Attacks, unless you set up the ASPECT with all the Iterative Attacks, unfortunately, ASPECT needs work in order to fully support any Alternative Iterative Attacks, or partial Iterative Attacks.
