Detailed Description

Public interface for one CPart record (Parts.dat / PartsU.dat).

CPart is the most field-rich record in CoreRules. All 21 part-type arrays in Parts.dat share this single record format; each part type uses a DIFFERENT SUBSET of the fields. Fields outside a type's subset sit at default values and are still serialized for round-trip.

Type identification is by array position — which of Parts.dat's 21 per-Part_Type arrays the record lives in — NOT by an embedded record-type field on CPart itself.

The interface groups fields by SEMANTIC USAGE rather than disk-layout order. Most groups apply to a subset of part types – the group docstring notes the relevant types. See CoreRules_DataFiles.md section 4 (per-type field selection guide) for which fields each Part_Type uses.

Field categories (matching @name groups below):

• Identity & common
• Value, weight, money (per Skills & Powers + PHB rule systems)
• Equipment categorization & ownership
• Magical-item flags (IsMagicItem + 9 "functions-as" predicates)
• Effects on character (ability score adjustments)
• S&P sub-ability adjustments (12)
• Saving throws (10 adjustments + 10 bonuses)
• Rogue skill adjustments (13 percentages)
• Equipment basics (wear, carry, containers)
• Weapon-specific fields
• Armor & shield-specific fields
• Weapon / armor proficiency hints
• NWP / proficiency cost fields
• Spells & magic
• Class ability progression
• Psionics
• Movement
• Race-related restrictions
• Social ranking
• Trailing string lists
• Related spells
• Embedded Part Kit
