    Hi Gents,

    new to the d20 Pro, been a guest player but I want to now start DM'ing (especially Dark Sun) with my friends. Is there a tutorial on how to propler update the 4 TXT files (Feats.txt, Skills.txt, Spells.txt, Classes.txt) to keep up to date with the ever growning 4e. if there is a previous post that tells all, please direct me.

    Thank You

    You can find what you need to know in this post:
    http://forums.d20pro.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=200

    Also, if you open up those text files, you can see how they are arranged and can add more content to suit the dark sun world of D&D

    Here is a quick guide:

    feats.txt
    alphabetical listing of all feats available.

    General| - no game effect
    Evasion| yes/no - game effect as described with the feat
    Init| -increases the initiative modifier by +4

    spells.txt
    alphabetical listing of all spells available.

    skills.txt
    alphabetical listing of all skills available, and it's use in d20Pro.
    Category Name|Skill Name|Ability Modifier

    I'd go...

    AttackRate=1. (this will give a base attack bonus of 1 for each HD/level you give to the undead class creature)
    GoodSaves=

    In D&D 4.0, you'll add your saves as custom defenses, and put them in manually under "custom" on the General tab when editing the creature. If you have not already done so.. Goto the Options window and under Judge tab (I believe) is the setting where you can activate the custom defenses and put Fort, Ref, and Will as the three custom defenses (since they are static defenses - not rolled).
