6 years ago Size File is where the bonuses are found. If you do not want the size changes applied, simply use this:
BONUS:VAR|BypassSizeMods|1|TYPE=Boolean
Place it on the class, or race, or template.

6 years ago Greetings, Size file ?! Ah, I was looking at: PCGen\6.07.08\system\gameModes\35e\sizeAdjustment.lst which is an empty file, my apologies, looking at GitHub\pcgen\system\gameModes\Bahamut35e makes quite a difference !
However, it doesn't reference that BypassSizeMods var ? That is referenced in other gamemods, but not Bahamut_35e - I found it in players_handbook\ph_sizes.lst - seems odd that this gamemode has it setup differently, but found it and using it now, thanks.
Cheers Dave

Greetings,
Long story, quick question: where is 'SIZEMOD' defined? I can find bonuses applied to it, but cannot find where it is actually used to determine any stat modifiers.
I thought I could fix this, but I'm now perplexed ;-) Using Savage Species, I've created a PC with race 'Djinni' with 9 levels of 'Djinni Monster class'. At 9th level, this race becomes 'Large' - using 9 BONUS:SIZEMOD|NUMBER|1 and that seems to automatically adjust Str/Dex/Con quite significantly, (which I believe is wrong for this class/monster) and this is the crux of my issue. I can offset that with adding something like the following to the class in ss_classes.lst:
9 BONUS:STAT|STR|-16|TYPE=Size
9 BONUS:STAT|DEX|+4|TYPE=Size 9 BONUS:STAT|CON|-4|TYPE=Size (have tried with TYPE=Temporary too!)
The actual bonus values may be related to the original stats, so I may need to play with those values.
However - before I apply that, I have an anomaly in the numbers output to PDF, in that the 'size' modifiers appear to be flagged as temporary - outputting a level 8 djinni gives me the stats I expect, whereas outputting a level 9 djinni gives me different stats and 'temp score' stats that are greater.
So, how can I prevent or offset the change to 'large' size from affecting the stats at all? And/Or - how can I make the stat changes from a size change non-temporary?
Given up scratching my head at this for a while ;) Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
