How to give a caste member custom tissues?
« on: July 25, 2010, 10:24:18 am »

Hey, I've been working for 12 hours trying to get this one single creature to work properly. Basically, it's almost done except for one small part. I can't get the final caste, the gobbo mystic, to have its illusionary barrier without every single other caste getting illusionary barrier as well. I'll post all the raws I have on this one creature here. Someone please help me figure out what to do.

tissue_template.txt

I just can't figure out what is going on. I thought any changes to material or tissue under a cetain caste only affects that caste. Why is it that when I change GSKIN to adamantine under the matriach (gobbo mystic) caste, every other caste gets adamantine skin as well? Help!

Try taking the skin modification tokens out of the caste, putting [SELECT_CASTE:MATRIACH] at the very bottom of the creature definition, and pasting the skin modification tokens after it.

edit: It's still not working =| Every member of the species has the illusionary barrier.

I fixed it up by completely reworking the entire raws from scratch. Used Deon's Illithids as a template to make the raws more organized.

It's working now, but for some reason each bodypart can sustain multiple instances of damage. For example, the horns when damaged will display, cut open, bruised, and dented at the same time.
