I’m requesting your help to speed up the Mystic!
🕑 Added 2017-03-21 15:31:24 +0000 UTC Some news on the progress of the addition of the Mystic class to MPMB’s Character Record Sheet.State of the Mystic
>> Finished so far:
✓ Transcribing the Mystic class features;
✓ Transcribing all Mystic Orders (6/6);
✓ Coding the sheet to be compatible with the Mystic’s Psionics;
✓ Transcribing all Psionic Talents (12/12);
✓ Transcribing 40/40 Psionic Disciplines.
>> Still to do:
- Nothing!
Many thanks to Matt, Justin, and TheBob427 for their help with transcribing the Psionics!
How can you help?
By transcribing some of the Mystic’s Psionic Disciplines and/or Psionic Talents!
>> 1. Write the script
The addition of the Psionic Disciplines/Talents works almost identical to adding spells, both use the same JavaScript Syntax.
The JavaScript Syntax can be found here.
Remember, the ‘description’ is a short description that has to fit into the spell sheet of the Colourful character sheet!
You can use the agreed upon abbreviations that you can find in the Spell Sheet glossary.
In addition, use “PP” for ‘Psi Points’ and “Psi-F.” for ‘Psychic Focus’.
>> 2. Send me the script
Once you have transcribed something, please send the code to me (see the bookmarks in the sheet for how to contact me). You can do this in several ways:
- Send a link: put the code as a Gist on GitHub, on your Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive, or somewhere else online, and send me the link to this as a comment or via email, or wherever.
- Use the ENworld forum thread: Attach the code, post a link to it, or write it in a message, with [CODE][/CODE] tags.
- Email me the code as a .txt file (sending .js files, even inside an archive, gets the email automatically removed by Gmail and I’ll never see it). You can email me at Flapkan[at]gmail[dot]com
Some background
At 28 pages, the Unearthed Arcana: The Mystic Class is a lot more than your average UA article. Besides the fact that it has some completely new mechanics, it also has a very extensive lists of psionic powers.
I have finished the first, more complicated part: making the sheet work with Psionics. My first priority was to get the sheet working with these new mechanics for Psionics, without needing to change too much. After a lot of input from you, the supporters/fans of my work, I landed on a decision which wasn’t even features in the poll, but suggested by Karsten.
The psionic powers will be added to the spell sheet pages, just like spells. However, to make this work, every option of every discipline will have its own line as if it is its own ‘spell’. The sheet will automatically add all these sub-powers when selecting a discipline. This required some fiddling with the code, but that is now finished and working properly.
However, at around 200 of these kind of ‘spells’ to do, there is a lot of work to do before the Mystic class is ready to be published. For this, I can use any help that I can get.

I just made an excel sheet so I could figure out what was left to do. You can view/edit it here if you like: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l_U2UhoRhYTCzcbdGf8uzKzeglyvJIRL-W_L7xlOcWU/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l_U2UhoRhYTCzcbdGf8uzKzeglyvJIRL-W_L7xlOcWU/edit?usp=sharing</a>

Sorry I'm late to the game, what's left that needs to be done?

Thank you very much for these! Unfortunately, I already got the Third Eye discipline covered and just synced it to GitHub. There is already somebody working backwards through the list, so if you do the same, there are bound to be a lot of overlap. Not that I don't appreciate the help, but can I suggest picking another point of departure for the ones you want to do?

I'm just going to post them one at a time as I get time to do them. Third Eye: <a href="https://gist.github.com/mattohara/927acc85565b4255048b03c623b6e736" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/mattohara/927acc85565b4255048b03c623b6e736</a>

And also a big thanks for these! Since you started working on these, I changed the syntax a bit. These syntax/consistency changes are now visible in the file on GitHub, and are: - No more "classes" or "components" attributes for the sub-discipline powers (so everything other than the talents or the entry with the psychic focus); - Now set "1-7" for the "firstCol" attribute for those powers that allow usage of more psi points (like "Bestial Claws"). As a result of this, it is also no longer necessary to put this PP usage in the descriptionFull object. I have gone over them, made changes in the Gist, and made a comparison here: <a href="https://www.diffchecker.com/RdnoLi3o" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.diffchecker.com/RdnoLi3o</a>

Thank you very much for this, it is greatly appreciated! I went over your additions and made some changes for consistency with the rest of the spells. I have forked your Gist and put the changes there. However, as GitHub isn't all that great in showing you what changed exactly, I also use diffchecker for a better overview of what I altered: <a href="https://www.diffchecker.com/I8uj4hsl" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.diffchecker.com/I8uj4hsl</a> I'm doing it like this because I sincerely hope you want to transcribe some more!
