Hybrid and Paragon Hybrid link

[Brad Sumner]

I just uploaded a character (Kalassar - 13th level Dragonborn Hybrid)
when I click the Hybrid class or Paragon Hybrid what comes up in the
compendium area is the Iplay4e character sheet.

I hadn't noticed that, thanks for reporting it. I do have "improved
hybrid support" on the roadmap here:

http://code.google.com/p/iplay4e/issues/detail?id=108

I added this particular symptom to the defect.

Cheers,
Andrew

In addition, would there be a way to get the "class" section to
specify more than just "hybrid" (ie, "hybrid Fighter / Rogue", or the
like)?

That is, hybrids currently just say <Name>, <Hybrid>.

The canonical class element in the dnd4e file just says `hybrid', and then contains numerically coded entries per class, but there are also some RulesElement entities with ``type="CountsAsClass"'' that should be parseable if the class is Hybrid, but you'll have to be careful to avoid the multiclass (which also uses CountsAsClass).

On the other hand, this looks to be complete, if your parser can handle searching for ``name="Hybrid \(.*\)" type="Hybrid Class"''.  You need both elements in order to avoid hybrid talent, class features granted by hybrid classes (such as NAD defenses).  Using type="GRANTS" also looks unique in my sample but is less obviously the right thing.

For example:

         <RulesElement name="Hybrid" type="Class" internal-id="ID_INTERNAL_CLASS_HYBRID" charelem="131b4b40" legality="rules-legal" />

         <RulesElement name="Hybrid Sorcerer" type="Hybrid Class" internal-id="ID_FMP_HYBRID_CLASS_445" url="http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/class.aspx?id=445" charelem="131b4668" legality="rules-legal" />

         <RulesElement name="Hybrid Sorcerer" type="Grants" internal-id="ID_INTERNAL_GRANTS_HYBRID_SORCERER" charelem="131d4ae8" legality="rules-legal" />

         <RulesElement name="Hybrid Bard" type="Hybrid Class" internal-id="ID_FMP_HYBRID_CLASS_441" url="http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/class.aspx?id=441" charelem="13138de8" legality="rules-legal" />

         <RulesElement name="Hybrid Bard" type="Grants" internal-id="ID_INTERNAL_GRANTS_HYBRID_BARD" charelem="13100750" legality="rules-legal" />

         <RulesElement name="Hybrid Bard Reflex" type="Class Feature" internal-id="ID_INTERNAL_CLASS_FEATURE_HYBRID_BARD_REFLEX" charelem="1318bd00" legality="rules-legal" />

         <RulesElement name="Hybrid Talent" type="Feat" internal-id="ID_FMP_FEAT_1366" url="http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/feat.aspx?id=1366" charelem="1316aba0" legality="rules-legal" >

Wow, thanks for the legwork, Chad. I've added it to the defect for my
reference when I get to this.

Cheers,
Andrew
