    Hello onyxius!

    Great start on your spell... let me fill in some blanks...

    Description

    Flow
    MagicMissile_PFRPG_Flow.jpg

    Here we are simply multiplying the effect (OnTarget) dice for when levels equal or exceeds the value. If I were to update my classes.txt file with bloodrager and magus, I would also include those class in the Multiply Effect Classes field.

    Okay, now we can Save, and use the spell from our spell menu (for this level 5 wizard)...

    Next, we want to select our spell and press OK...

    Now we want to press "Expand" to see all our options (basically to target different opponents with each Magic Missile)...

    And now we can select the target with each of the three magic missiles for this level 5 Wizard. If we wanted only one target there is no need to use the "Expand > " option. Since I'm on the GM side I can see the rolls immediately... I wish I could roll this well when I'm actually playing :p

    Whala! And we have a spell that works for all levels.

    I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong with this magic missile spell effect. When I click the expand button I see the multiple missiles, but after selecting the target for each missile and clicking ok, the target box is empty for each missile. If I click both of the targets before I click the expand button, they are selected for each missile. I tried remove targets so only one missile per target, but nothing changes and the damage for both missiles is applied to each target.

    Hi Caraldur,

    I see what you are saying, looks like there's a fly in the soup...

    Anyway, that's how it "should" work. Give us a few to iron this out. :)

    D20Pro version 3.6.11.28
    Windows 7
    Pathfinder

    I just installed the new beta build of D20pro and tried the magic missile spell feature I created in 3.6.11.26. That was went I noticed the targeting bug. That bug has been correct and I think there is another one but I'm not sure if it is my spell feature or an actually bug. Below are some screenshots of what I notice when using the spell.

    You can see from the image above that the damage for each missile in the main target window.

    When the third target is selected the numbers seem to correct themselves, so I'm not sure its a bug or something I am doing wrong when setting up the spell feature. Below is an image of my spell feature.

    Oh, I see the problem. Roll each time means that anytime anything changes or a calculation is processed the die is rolled again.

    Totally unnecessary for this feature. Each "repeat" effect will roll itself as a separate instance of the original.

    Turn that off and all should be fine -- you know... "nothing to see here" :p

    Are these going to eventually be apart of a download from the store? or part of a setup of a Pathfinder game?

    I am guessing that you guys are working on the 5e spells, items, etc. Is there effort to get the core of Pathfinder?

    Yes, they will be part of a rule set you'll be able to purchase on the store.
    Yes, pathfinder is being worked on.

    The core material for both systems is currently being worked on.

    Awesome...

    So I just cranked up 3.7 and saw some of the potential, and tried to create a wand of cure light wounds and failed. You said you guys are working on the core for both systems. Anyways you can release what you have already so we can get a taste of how the system works and also samples of how to create more thing?

    Even if it is just the core 1st levels spells, and some items that would be very helpful.

    Thank you

    unfortunately, (legal stuffz) we can not. However, there is a sampler campaign with some examples for you to look at. Just create a new campaign and select it from the list.

    Also, the team and I are here to help and will gladly do so, either here or on Discord in the interim until the Docs are complete and/or products announced and Released.
