[QUOTE="shieldfoss, post: 7202404, member: 6903301"] Found the error. Compare Thri-Kreen Weapon Mastery with Valenar Weapon Training. First the rules text, then the XML implementation (just so you can see they [I]should[/I] be identical, but are not: The wording in the short descriptions: Gain proficiency, +2/+3/+4 (by tier) to damage with scimitars, double scimitars, and falchions Proficiency and +2/+3/+4 bonus to damage with gythka and chatkcha. Logically identical wording. Now the code: [code] <RulesElement name="Valenar Weapon Training" type="Feat" internal-id="ID_FMP_FEAT_2794" source="Dragon Magazine 385" revision-date="8/27/2010 12:20:38 PM"> <Prereqs> Elf </Prereqs> <print-prereqs> Elf </print-prereqs> <specific name="Tier"> Heroic </specific> <specific name="Short Description"> Gain proficiency, +2/+3/+4 (by tier) to damage with scimitars, double scimitars, and falchions </specific> <specific name="Special" /> <specific name="type" /> <specific name="Associated Power Info" /> <specific name="Associated Powers" /> <rules> <grant name="ID_INTERNAL_PROFICIENCY_WEAPON_PROFICIENCY_(SCIMITAR)" type="Proficiency" /> <grant name="ID_INTERNAL_PROFICIENCY_WEAPON_PROFICIENCY_(DOUBLE_SCIMITAR)" type="Proficiency" /> <grant name="ID_INTERNAL_PROFICIENCY_WEAPON_PROFICIENCY_(FALCHION)" type="Proficiency" /> <statadd name="Valenar Weapon Training" value="+2" /> <statadd name="Scimitar:damage" value="+Valenar Weapon Training" type="Feat" /> <statadd name="Double Scimitar:damage" value="+Valenar Weapon Training" type="Feat" /> <statadd name="Falchion:damage" value="+Valenar Weapon Training" type="Feat" /> <statadd name="Valenar Weapon Training" value="+1" requires="Paragon Tier" /> <statadd name="Valenar Weapon Training" value="+1" requires="Epic Tier" /> </rules> You gain proficiency and a +2 feat bonus to damage rolls with scimitars, double scimitars, and falchions.

In particular, notice: <statadd name=[B]"Scimitar:damage"[/B] value="+Valenar Weapon Training" type="Feat" /> <statadd name=[B]"Gythka,weapon:damage"[/B] value="+Thri-kreen Weapon Master ([B]Gythka[/B])" type="Feat" /> <statadd name=[B]"Gythka,weapon:damage"[/B] value="+Thri-kreen Weapon Master ([B]Chatkcha[/B])" type="Feat" /> The scimitar is how it's [I]supposed [/I]to be. The first line, for Gythka, accidentally only adds to weapon damage. The second line, for Chatkcha, accidentally adds to [I]Gythka[/I] damage! And also only to weapon damage. Now that's something easily fixed for me because I can just fix my local .part file, but do you know if there's somewhere I can report the bug to? [/QUOTE]
