I'm looking to add remove some Nature's Warrior feats from a character in-game. Anyone know the feat numbers? FOr that matter, is there documentation for all the additional feats? Thanks …

over the years you have added a lot of Touch Attack spells and now when I've started having fun with scripting again I have started to want to add a lot of Touch Attack spells from the Spell Compendium. For this I actually wrote a general procedure for performing Ranged Touch Attacks (thus far) that I think works and thanks to this it took just a minute or so to script the Langour spell.

This made me curious of the reason behind why you haven't done anything similar. Is there reasons that makes this a bad procedure?

Quick question about the Sword Dancer PRC (really looking forward to going through the OC & MotB with it): am I right in thinking that Sword Dance ability is quite similar to the Mordenkainen's Sword spell?

Also, any idea of roughly when the PRC will be available? :-)

Thanks!

How does dis work now? Do I get a total of 25points of DR with 10 being magical an 15 whatever ?

Thanks

This is for SoZ campaign play!

Thanks in advance!

New Feat: Battle Blessing (grants a +2 dodge AC bonus for 6 seconds when a spell is cast from a Paladin's spellbook)

In your original post you said it would be +4 and not +2

Battle Blessing
Prerequisites: Paladin 4
Benefit: You can cast spells more quickly than usual in the heat of battle enabling you to focus on fighting defensively. You gain a +4 Dodge AC bonus for 6 seconds after casting a memorized spell from the Paladin spellbook.

This feat from Complete Champion is supposed to make all of your spells swift actions (thus leaving you the full round to do either a full attack action or a move and single attack). Since we can't force all spells to be quickened (and quicken is broke unless you quicken two spells in a round) I'm going to tweak it slightly. Fighting defensively is a total defense action (full round action) that grants a +4 dodge AC bonus but prevents you from attacking. Since the round is wasted with the casting of the spell, this will simulate the swift spell + fighting defensively for the round. Hence the +4 AC bonus after casting a spell.

This will only work with actual memorized spells from the Paladin spellbook. Bless memorized as a cleric spell will NOT get the bonus. Only bless memorized in the Paladin spellbook. Etc, etc.

You have a caster and another character/NPC with an item. The spell checks for this item and fires a line between the caster and the item holder. This could be a set of bracers or something, but it must be equipped to do anything.

Caster
-
-
Enemy
-
-
Item Holder

This would be largely situational, but that's kind of the point. You could have your tank as the item holder cracking skulls and one decide to go after the caster- fire it off, it hits the catalyst item and damages everything between the two (within reason). The specific items could be like a mana tap or something that fuel certain types of spells.

Whenever I cast Faerie Fire as a racial spell, the opponent got the Spiderskin visual effect (and the little spiderskin square overhead), and was not illuminated in darkness. The opponent did not actually have Spiderskin on it (no additional AC, etc), just the appearance of it.

When I cast Faerie Fire as a druid spell, sometimes it illuminates the target like it should but other times it gave the spiderskin appearance.

It occurred to me to try to work around the SR bug by:

a) figuring out how much the warlock's SR roll would be reduced by the engine, e.g., Level/2 if no other factors apply,
b) creating an EffectiveSpellResistanceDecrease effect on the target, reducing the target's SR by the same amount as the warlock's SR roll is being reduced just before making the spell resistance check, thus cancelling out the effect of the SR roll reduction,
c) removing the EffectiveSpellResistanceDecrease effect before exiting the routine.

I tested this by altering your GetEldritchBlastDmg routine in nw_i0_invocatns.nss, then recompiling nw_s0_ieldblast.nss. I went into Vordan's Hero Creator, created an 18th level warlock, and ran her up against an Erinyes (SR20). Sure enough, the Erinyes failed 10 out of 10 SR checks against the plain vanilla eldritch blast, which is right. I commented out the changes to the code (all four lines worth), recompiled the code, and this time the Erinyes made 6 out of 10 SR checks. So there's some evidence that this works, although I was very simplistic about it and didn't do anything other than a level/2 adjustment in the one routine, and added complexity may ruin the whole approach.

However, you may have noticed a subtle order of operations error, in that I changed the code before doing the base case test. The trouble is that the SR check isn't made on any but the first attack that hits, and I can't verify that it isn't something I did that causes it. I went to the extreme of removing the entire override folder from the My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2 directory and of course checking the program files override folder, which was empty, and the SR check still isn't made on any but the first attack. This is true even for non plain vanilla blasts - bewitching blasts and so on - where I've never opened the source code at all. Of course I was exiting the game entirely, then restarting, as I progressively removed more and more stuff, eventually rebooting Vista altogether after removing the override folder.

I also ran a 12th level warlock up against the Erinyes, which should knock the Erinyes' SR down by six, thinking that maybe what was happening was that the effect wasn't being removed, so the Erinyes SR was being driven down to zero, causing the SR check not to print anything out. If this was what was happening, I should have gotten three SR checks printed out before no more occurred, but it was still only one SR check, then no more.

The "Failed 10 out of 10 SR Checks" applies only to those blasts for which there was an SR check reported in the little window, to clarify a point.

OTOH, my expectation is that many people have thought of this approach before me, and it doesn't work for some reason.

So, two questions - do you know why this approach wouldn't work, and can you or anyone else verify whether the SR checks work as they now do on my machine, or whether I'm somehow hoist by my own petard? Or give any other advice?

Here's the added code, just in case my description of the approach wasn't so clear:

int DeltaCasterLevel = nCasterLevel - nCasterLevel / 2;
effect AdjSRDown = EffectSpellResistanceDecrease(DeltaCasterLevel);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT,AdjSRDown,oTarget);

{ big if statement with MyResistSpell in it}

RemoveSpecificEffect(EFFECT_TYPE_SPELL_RESISTANCE_DECREASE, oTarget);

Just to make crystal clear, this is NOT a request for debugging help, just for verification of how the SR checks work, and also for input on whether this is even an idea worth pursuing.

Thanks,

Ithaqua

I was trying to remind myself of what the two ability focus feats (eldritch blast, invocations) actually apply to… looking at GetWarlockDC in cmi_ginc_spells and the calls to it in nw_i0_invocatns, all the calls pass FALSE as the 2nd parameter - which means that only the Eldritch Blast ability focus feat is used, both for blast damage and for will and other type saves against non-blast effects (e.g., in the draining blast, frightful blast, beshadowed blast etc. functions.) Of course, other files may contain code that effectively overrides this, but I couldn't find any.

Thanks for checking this out…

War Weaver

By weaving together strands of pure arcane power, the war weaver becomes a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. A war weaver can establish an eldritch tapestry among her comrades and quickly aid them with her magic.

This is a 5 level prestige class.

Requirements

Skills: Lore 6.
Feat: Extend Spell
Spellcasting: Ability to cast 3rd-level arcane spells

Class Features

HD: d4
BAB: Low
High Saves: Will
Weapon proficiency: None.
Armor proficiency: None.

Class Skills: Craft Alchemy, Craft Armor, Craft Weapon, Concentration, Diplomacy, Lore, Spellcraft, and Use Magic Device.
Skill points: 2 + Int modifier

Class Abilities

Level 1: Spellcasting Progression, Eldritch Tapestry
Level 2:
Level 3:
Level 4:
Level 5:

Spellcasting Progression: Beginning at 2nd level, the character gains new arcane spells per day as if she had also gained a level in her chosen arcane class.

Eldritch Tapestry: Upon entering the class, you gain an understanding of the rudiments of the war weaver's craft. You can thread together unseen strands of life force to connect willing allies in your party into a magically resonant network known as an eldritch tapestry. You can send your spells across the life-force strands of the tapestry to your allies. Although you cast but a single spell, you can have it affect all creatures in your eldritch tapestry as if the group were a single creature. The maximum level of spell you can cast into an eldritch tapestry is equal to your war weaver level. Personal spells cannot be cast through an eldritch tapestry.

For example, a level 2 war weaver could cast bull's strength and have it affect herself and her party members. Each of the party members would gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength - at the cost of a single spell, not four separate castings.

It would not be a prostelytizer or spirit conduit for others. It's connection to animal spirits is beyond words and entirely personal. It doesn't slaughter animals indescriminitly. It's more of a Native American approach of taking as little as possible on a need basis and revering the animals one kills. It's not a shape shifter or summoner. I don't see it working with multi classing.

That's all I've got for now.

So out of the vast list of possible spell changes…i would say a stoneskin change would be the best and most useful since adamantite weapons are often frequently in the hands of enemies and so therefore make the spell as it is pretty useless. Perhaps change stoneskin to 8 hits, greater to 12, and premonition to 16 hits. The mechanics for it could just be stolen from mirror image.

Could you consider adding Rogue weapon proficiency to Shadowdancers, or would it mess up some requirements for other pretige classes?
It is near identical to what they get in PnP, minus the Hand axe.

And if it would make them imbalanced for some reason add the 5 perform requirement (hm… but that may mess up existing characters i beleave).

I don't think it would make them too powerfull, it would just bring them a step closer to what they are and ad to the RP factor.
I hope it isn't complicated to implement it, if you decide to.

This was done in version 1.40.

I'd like to hear balance concerns, usability commentary, whether it should default to on or off for PWs, general commentary, and if it meets the goal of being a fun base class. Please speak up and say what's on your mind. I realize balance is a very subjective and tricky issue but I'd like to find a sane balance between fun, useful, and effective.

The only two I'm set on adding are the Hexblade and the Dragonfire Adept. If the consensus is that the rest should be cut, so be it.

Here are the links to the class description as well as the thread on my forums that deals with the specific class. While I'm open to discussing any of the classes in this thread, I'd rather keep the discussion focused on each thread so that I can keep the comments with the appropriate class.

Class debuffs: Hexblade's Curse, Dark companion
Feat debuffs: Dreadful Wrath, Demoralize Opponent
Alternate debuffs: Bard's Curse Song, Blackguard's Aura of Despair (including the epic feat upgrade).

The class has to balance the use of it's activated abilities as while they offer solid bonuses, they also come with penalties. They also have a variety of auras they can use to switch to adapt to combat in a fluid manner while bringing special strikes to bear that have long cooldowns. Their health is a constant concern due to their abilities damaging them, the enemy damaging them, and the fact that healing magic doesn't work on them. They must rely on a mix of regen, damage reduction, healing kits, and a clever use of the strikes to stay alive.

It currently has two "companions" (one is feat based that can be turned off separately from the class) which is without a doubt too strong since each scales with character level. If need be, I'm willing to add cmi_options to limit either companion as well as swap which companion the class gets by default (such as moving the rogue companion to the feat and the tank to the basic class).

I'd like to hear balance concerns, usability commentary, whether it should default to on or off for PWs, general commentary, and if it meets the goal of being a "fun tactical clicky guy" that isn't just swinging away till something is dead. Please keep in mind that the class may not take levels in any other class or prestige class as a way to prevent character-building exploits/abuse. It's meant to be a solid, fun package from 1 to 30.

let me know what you think!

"First…let us imagine a lush world where players actually try to make builds around themes and ideas and not try to jam half a dragon, half a fiend, kung fu skills out of the matrix, and "the glow" from the Last Dragon when they move their hands do to how many attacks with chopsticks they can get into a build.

Now lets further stretch the absurd into the realm of totally unbelievable (ie, "a wizard did it") and assume that said theme is actually a monk who managed to make it to level 21 (as a monk mind you *slap* for that dumb thought to throw in cowboy and pirate).

What kind of feats would such epic monks (singular in the existance of man?) like to see?"

I do not know wheter the pnp handbooks pose more restrictions on multiclassing than NWN and NWN2 do (as always, bear with me as a pnp illiterate), but I have always though players have too much freedom with builds since 3rd edition crpgs. Sure, a lot of possible builds do not make any sense, but there are cases where the synergies between class abilities can be shamefully exploited to rack up DPS and whatnot completely disregarding a credible personal background for the character (I always remind myself that these are ROLE playing games, and a Barbarian/Monk, Paladin/Blackguard etc do not seem like credible roles to me). So I guess it would be a cliché like "back in the days we played Baldur's Gate 2, where you had to stick to a definite path…"

What if someone introduced additional multiclassing restrictions on PrCs (or even base classes)? Something like this: a player MUST decide on a single base class at lvl 1 (this is a fact), then this class usually can evolve into several PrC (that hopefully make sense) to add different flavours, so it should be allowed to mix certain classes to achieve that PrC, but say, taking a class from that PrC could negate any progressions in another class that does not fit that role.
Example: I choose a Monk at lvl 1. There exists a Monk PrC that mixes Cleric and Monk. Since this PrC exists and makes sense, I take some levels of cleric and can take my PrC advancing both (monk and cleric, but not as good in either areas as a full monk or cleric). But say, when taking the PrC I would lock out other PrCs/base classes who do not fit this profile, like bard, or druid, or pirate, or Ghost Faced Killer.

Of course people can say: you do not like those combinations, do not use them - and I don't, even in single player. But if such rules were in place also for multiplayer maybe a content creator would not refuse to create new content for that Dragon Disciple, or that Monk, because the new abilities could not be overly exploited by certain builds (and the PrCs would belong to characters more in line with their class description, btw - do exploiters ever read them I wonder?). I imagine certain abilities could be strenghtened, some classes could become more unique, they would have more definite strong and bad points (saving throws, ability to cast certain magic spells etc).

Again, do not take this as a realistic suggestion, but I would like to know what you people think about a NWN2 that is more in line with role-playing the classes and the spirit of D&D 2E, all of this achieved through hypothetical additional restrictions on multiclassing.

Rename your override and enjoy Misery Stone as it was meant to be played.

As for Swiftblade Arcane Spellcasting Progression, would this mean that my character could continue to gain Bard spells on levelling-up?

I'd prefer to play as a Bard rather than Wizard or Sorceror.

http://nwn2db.com/build.php?id=16712&version=1 - Swiftscale +12

With +12 stats, +8 items
AB:
AB = 27 + 16(dex) + 1(prow) + 2(swift) + 8(weapon enh) + 1(Haste) - 3(expertise) + 4(gheroism) {+ 2(heroism)} = 56 {58}

Damage:
Damage (+8 rapier) = 1d6(rapier) + 10(insight) + 10(insstrike) + 2d6(duelist) + 2d6(Swift) + 1d6(deaddef) + 8(enh) = 6d6 + 28 + 2d6(flourish)/12 sec

Max posible damage/hit = 76
1d6 = 3.5 dmg avg.
3.5x6 + 28 = 49 - one avg. hit dmg

non flourish 7 hits (allways haste) - 49 x 7 = 343 dmg avg.
flourish round 7 hits - 343 + 7 = 350 dmg avg.

So if all swings hit 346 avg. damage/round

Threat range 15-20/x2, self buff keen. (maxposible crit 100 i think)

AC:
AC = 10(base) + 1(Luck) + 1(YT) + 16(dex) + 10(canydef) + 2(swift) + 3(tumble) + 7(nature) + 8(defl) + 8(armorenh) + 5(boots) + 13(elaborexpertise) + 1(haste) + 4(shieldspel) {+ 1(dodge) + 1(Swbdodge) vs. curent target} = 89 {91} +7AC(max 8 miror images) = 98

So with +12 stat items it could be 98 AC vs current target and 50% concealment.

Don't know when he hits the dodge cap but… the AC looks insane.

1. Halo of Sand - Level 2 Ranger spell that adds +4 Deflection AC for 10 min/level.
2. Skin of the Cactus - Level 3 Ranger spell that adds +5 Natural AC and 1d6 piercing damage shield for 10 min/level.

10. Enrage Animal - Level 1 Ranger spell that enrages your Animal Companion with the Whirlwind Frenzy rage variant and no fatigue (gains a +4 bonus to Strength and a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Reflex saves.

1. Ranged touch attack benefits from Dex
2. Melee touch attack (Eld Glaive) benefits from Str
3. Weapon Finesse works for Melee Touch Attacks (Eld Glaive)
4. Intuitive Attack works for Touch Attacks (either Eld Glaive or any ranged blast)

Are there any other AB issues Warlocks suffer?

First… let us imagine a lush world where players actually try to make builds around themes and ideas and not try to jam half a dragon, half a fiend, kung fu skills out of the matrix, and "the glow" from the Last Dragon when they move their hands do to how many attacks with chopsticks they can get into a build.

Now lets further stretch the absurd into the realm of totally unbelievable (ie, "a wizard did it") and assume that said theme is actually a monk who managed to make it to level 21 (as a monk mind you *slap* for that dumb thought to throw in cowboy and pirate).

What kind of feats would such epic monks (singular in the existance of man?) like to see?

Something that builds on the abilities they have or branches them into the "transcendent outsiders" they become at 20th with Perfect self.

I even went so far as to redownload/reinstall 1.39.5, but it still doesn't work with WoC for some reason.

What bonuses transfers; I know about AC but what else…
Looked on Wikia and they talked about Skill bonuses, elemental resistance bonuses.

For example if I have a +8 str helmet does that transfer too. All bonuses basically but only the highest of the same type.
A +2AC shield and a +3AC armor only gives me +3AC not +5AC, got that part right.

So now with the tiers I can put enchantments on bracers and all but cloaks only apply to dragons if I remember right.

Just trying to get clarification on this.

Thanks

Here's a rundown of the best possible Eldritch Blast Die.

12d6 Base Blast Die
+2d6 Practiced Invoker
+2d6 Greater Chausible
+4d6 Epic Eldritch Blast (It's possible to take it on every epic feat level except the first)
+5d6 Sneak Attack Die
+6d6 Hellfire Blast

31d6 (Max 186, Avg 93) on a Hellfire/Sneak Attack, 20d6 (Max 120, Avg 60) on a normal attack, 25d6 (Max 150, Avg 75) on a normal Sneak Attack, and 26d6 (Max 156, Avg 78) on a normal Hellfire Attack

The highest maximum damage with Empower/Eldritch Master is 419, when Eldritch Sculpter comes out it'll be 540 (you lose +1d6 Epic Eldritch Blast for Eldritch Sculptor, though). Rogues, eat your heart out.

Now, you could switch out Warlock levels for Rogue levels for more Sneak Attack Die, but you'd be doing nothing but exchanging Eldritch Blast Die for them, so it wouldn't be worth it.

Any suggestions?
