Template:Skill-DC

From Epic Path
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Outputs the skill DC for the specified challenge category when called, based on the CR of the monster. Primarily used inside the Monster template. Call as follows:

{{Skill DC|Easy}}
{{Skill DC|Average}}
{{Skill DC|Challenging}}
{{Skill DC|Hard}}
{{Skill DC|Impossible}}

Parameters (all are optional):

  • (unnamed) = modify CR with a positive or negative number. -2 lowers CR by two before outputting skill DC.
  • n = modify numeric value with a positive or negative number. "n=-2" lowers skill DC by 2 before outputting the skill DC.
  • op = modify the operand. Values are "op=mult" and "op=div", allowing you to multiply or divide by parameter n's value. Default is addition (with negative numbers subtracting).
  • nohi = don't highlight the text. Values: Y, or exclude variable. By default, the text is highlighted in a pleasant orange color.

Examples:

  • {{Skill DC|Average|-2}} - outputs an Average skill DC as though CR was two lower than actual.
  • {{Skill DC|Easy|n = 2|op = mult}} - outputs double the normal Easy skill DC value for a monster of that CR.

You can also use {{Skill DC}} outside of a Monster template, but you must specify the CR:

  • {{Skill DC|Impossible|12}} - outputs an impossible skill DC for CR 12, if used outside a monster template. Inside a monster template, it would add 12 to the monster's existing CR.

If you don't specify a challenge category, it will default to Average.
