Yeah, that shouldn't be happening... I do have a check in there somewhere for only checking the "death/restart" counter on restoring to section 1, IF they have any previous books in their history... That check might not have happened correctly. Thanks for the heads up! Good news - there's no way I'd be able to tell that you died. So, you'll get to keep the No-death/restarts on your game. But you'll never be able to live with yourself!

Hahaha so true, I will not upload this character to you, it be my shame character I keep for myself.. but I was so nervous playing this book, I had a test character that passed 3 times before I used my "no death" one... all 3 passed, I figured out which 4 skills needed to have less chance to die (I had to sacrifice Psi Screen which is a favorite for me in book 13 but the EP lose I can live with...(repair with stack of laumspure) but the instant death due to bad roll are harder). with my "no death" I had 2 unlucky role in a serie, first one that brought me to a 0-2 = instant death.. and of course I rolled that... I froze, all these hours to get a none death to book 12 was in vain... and then I restored to section 1 I don't know if anyone played Sid Meiers Civilization, from 1991, it is a very famous game, there are some bugs there and on forums some cheat are accepted and some are not. I have a feeling this "no death" would not be accepted but the fact you don't have to reduce a meal would be

I probably won't attempt to use mine until after a few more books have been released on Seventh Sense

I don't mind if LW can get both - I imagine if the player went through all that trouble to make sure he got both, that he ought to be able to keep both! Only if you think it's particularly imbalancing to the game would I consider making it an "either/or" scenario. Well I just thought that By-The-Book should mean you really only get the 12 items listed, or there should be a pop-up window that notifies you about this. I think its easy to miss since I assumed that the import button only imports the 12 items listed in the book section.

But book 13 is a pretty tricky and hard one, tough fights and many instant death you cannot avoid if you are unlucky, as best you will have only one chance on 10 to die

I remember dying on a " no death" run literally in Book 12.. ahh so close.. but I was able to do it again and survive

Fixed: 1. The alignment of the "M/G" buttons for disciplines if LW starts in the Magnakai series, instead of Kai... 2. Healing potions now will restore "Other" damage first, then starvation damage, then combat damage 3. Checked the "select last Weaponmastery on beginning GM series", and I think the issue is, from looking at my code, I think you'd have to pick the weaponmastery weapon *before* choosing Grand Weaponmastery... Do you know if that was the case, Honza? I'll see if I can do a little testing on this, but I don't think it has anything to do with Prodigy vs by the book. 4. Improved the "Seventh Sense Help" pages (accessible on TOC page) by including pertinent information about moving on to Grandmaster series. 5. Fixed it so LW loses an arrow on section 225 6. Fixed it so LW definitely gets a death/restart counter (when appropriate) restarting on section 1
That's all for tonight - gotta go to bed!
jbryntze, I looked into the Meals/Hunting thing, and it worked totally normal for me. Are you on Hardcore or By-the-book rules, and have a loyalty bonus for Huntmastery? Double check, if you can... Actually, I just now added a check to make sure you *don't* get the loyalty bonus if you re-roll stats, so even if your game is Prodigy, if you had taken Huntmastery in Magnakai, it could erroneously give you that option for eating a meal. Fixed now, I think.

It is possible I picked Grand Weaponmastery before checking the last Weapon. I will retest it and let you know.

The problem stems from having a single variable that tells the program how many "weaponmasteries" the player can pick. On going to the next book, you get to pick one more. If you haven't selected Grand Weaponmastery yet, the program will count your "weaponmastery pick" as counting toward the Magnakai discipline. When you take Grand Weaponmastery, the program says that now you have two selections to make (regardless of how many you had before), and it counts any weapon selection toward the GM Discipline. So, if you don't pick the Magnakai weapon first, it loses track of the fact that you could have picked one...
Obviously, I need to use two separate variables here, so LW doesn't lose out...

It is OK. Before I choose Grand weaponmastery I can pick the last weapon in Magnakai weaponskill table.

That's good. Strangely, as I look at the code, I already do use two variables to track how many Weaponmastery weapons you have to pick... I'm actually really not sure what's going on with that bug... I'll keep investigating.

Regarding Huntmastery, I will check it. Something that is not a bug at all, but in book 7, there is no on mouse description the Power-Key item?

same in book 7, the "Vial BLue Pills" got no description, not even after you use curing to know what it is good for, could be nice to have one set for that.

Book 9 section 156, I never chosen Huntmastery in book 1-9 and still I get the choice. Maybe I misunderstood about Huntmastery... I'm running Hardcore rules Image below
