When is the scheduled 1.39 to be released, im soo eager to play Sword Dancer class, finally get to play my champion of Ellistrea. Please let me know as soon as possible, thank you.

I'm not sure. Between work and being out of town this weekend I didn't get a lot of time to work on CC unfortunately. Tomorrow I'll be working late and hitting the gym again per my new routine so it may be wednesday. Depends on how fast I can knock stuff out with just a few hours a night.
Gregg Manion (guest) 1251688967|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Okay, thank you for your reply sir. Ill keep an eye out then.

Blightlords are bad…
steelfiredragon 1251703453|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
yes blightlords are bad.
bad for me, and good for you.
I'd beg for the pathfinder shadowdancer, or atleast as much of it as possible……. But I'd doubt I'd see it

Thanks for the Pathfinder SRD link. Yes, that Shadowdancer rocks.
Also, the Sworddancer and Blightlord PrCs are fantastic.

Does Dread Necromancer count as divine or arcane spellcasting? Just curious.
Kaedrin 1251764991|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I'm still thinking about the Pathfinder stuff. Dread Necromancer is Arcane.
Gregg Manion (guest) 1251768942|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
So will the Blightlords ever make it in Kaedrin? YOu mean bad as in evil? *shrug* that would make it more fun!! Or bad in what way?
Kaedrin 1251771078|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Blightlord intrigues me but it's just another Stormlord variation albeit with insane level 10 bonuses.

JUst curious Kaedrins, when you get a moment for a update on the release of 1.39.

Soon.

Would be a great PrC eventually…
Kaedrin 1252287519|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
1.39 is going to take a while. 1.38 was sloppy and rushed and I didn't put half the time into it I should have before release. I usually spend almost as much time testing as I do developing and this time I didn't. It shows, badly. The good is that I've merged all the works back into one project so I'm not going to be trying to splice from three sources. I'm also not going to rush it again.
I'm back so there is no need to rush.
Kunikos 1252438775|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Sounds fine to me. :) I can't wait for a divine spirit option for the paladins (P.S. I vote for Argent Fist in 1.40+)

Woo, looks like Feral Stance is the first instant feat for Kaedrin. :)
P.S. Would you think of scheduling the Twilight enchantment in sometime down the road for armors? It's in your assorted bin right now.
Keep up the amazing work

Rage and Frenzy were already made instant in 1.38.
Kaedrin 1252784527|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Minor Shapeshift has been changed to a 12 second cooldown, instant activated ability. This means you can get free temporary hit points (equal to your HD) every other round. This provides a good tactical combat tool.

Quote - Weapon buff spells now affect gauntlets if no weapons are equipped (Bless Weapon, Blade Thirst, Holy Sword, Lawful Sword, Flame Weapon, Deafening Clang, Magic Weapon, Flame of Faith, Weapon of Energy, Weapon of the Deity, Greater Magic Weapon, Undead Bane Weapon, Forest Hammer, Holy Blade, Shock Blade, Sacred Flame, Wrath of the Wild, Storm Avatar)
Of all those feats / spells etc Forest hammer seems to be the only specific weapon boost for warmace only. Should that one be in the list?

Classes that grant skill bonuses to counter armor check penalties (Nightsongs) updated to account for the new script functionality in 1.23 (bonus will no longer increase the skill above the armor's penalty).
Don't forget Dread Commando has this as well.

Now the Summon Creature Spells works as in the SRD:
1) you can summon multiple creatures via multiple spells
2) in every spell you can choose to summon 1d3 of creatures from the immediately lower spell.
Sweet! I'm guessing this will eventually be adapted to work with the undead and planar stuff too? ;)
Kaedrin 1253228152|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Eventually. It's not going to be in 1.39, I didn't have time at lunch to figure out where to drop it in and I kept forgetting to put it on the list.

1d6 Sneak Attack + 10d6 Epic Sneak Attack is working so I can grant an epithet feat for having 8 dice and change the epic line to allow 8 dice or the epithet. Means Rogue/Arcane Tricksters aren't screwed anymore. They can go for 8 dice and then take the epic feat line if they want.

1.39 eta should be next weekend if all goes as planned. 1.40 to 1.44 should all be relatively quick releases (roughly a week each). 1.45 is going to take some time since I will need to put all the GUI stuff together from several test projects.
Kunikos 1253550328|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Take your time, Kaedrin. A release without as many bugs means more time spent on the following new release instead of chasing old stuff around. :) I am patient.
Kaedrin 1253657293|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Tonight is free and clear for me so I'll get as much done on 1.39 as I can an upload it.
Kaedrin 1253723107|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I had two more issues reported I want to resolve before I go forward. From one person I'm hoping to get a character and another needs to clear his override and try just my pack.
I've had 12 issues reported I've gone through the last few days and only two were issues with my stuff. Better safe than sorry though, even if it does slow things down.

Can you make a similar change apply to the + elemental damage effect from Elemental Warrior as well (if it doesn't already)? Just an idea.
Kaedrin 1253917355|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
The bonus is applied to the character so works with all types of weapons.
No need.

Of all those feats / spells etc Forest hammer seems to be the only specific weapon boost for warmace only. Should that one be in the list?
Ironically I don't need to do anything. The function to get a targeted weapon was updated and Forest Hammer uses this. However, I have specific code in the feat script to make sure that whatever the targeted item is, it must be a warmace. So I don't have to actually fix or change anything. It's good as is.
I am going to change the function for a future version to take in a int to include logic on *should* it target bracers or creature weapons in case something in the future shouldn't affect unarmed/creature weapons.
Kaedrin 1254192862|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I've still got some testing to do but I'm free tomorrow (Monday's are bad) so here's hoping.

No rush. Better a few days later than having to fix a bunch of bugs like last time, right?
Kaedrin 1254273385|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Yep. What's taking me the most time right now is building characters with the prcs needed to test the 8d6 thing. I'm not used to trying to build for multiple (and disjointed) classes so it's slow going.

New 1.39 WIP updates:
Champions of the Silver Flame prerequisites updated to include "May not have Bone Knight levels."
New PrC: Bone Knight
Possible New PrC: Sword Dancer
New PrC: Dragon Warrior
New PrC: Child of Night
New PrC: Eldritch Disciple
New PrC: Dissonant Chord
New Feat: Extra Death Strike
Extra Death Strike looks like a feat for a >= 8th level Bone Knight.

K, will you change Eldritch Disciple to allow Dragonfire Adept to take it when you do that class, or will it always be restricted to Warlock? It could increase their breath stuff instead of eldritch blasts, I suppose? Just wondering. Either way, a Warlock / DFA / Cleric could take it and choose DFA for invocations, I guess.

Where can i read about the ghost faced killer? google only wants me to learn about the wu-tang clan member.
Kunikos 1254782292|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
ghost-faced killer CAd 51 Ghost-faced killers act as assassins and spies for hire, a mercenary clan that hides behind a guise of open and honorable conduct.
I'm assuming that means Complete Adventurer on page 51.

I was just reading that in PnP Master of Radiance only progresses Turn Undead, it doesn't grant it. Is this a 3.0 vs 3.5 thing or was implementation only really possible this way. Just curious.
Kaedrin 1255379706|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Whoever said that was wrong. The class does not require turn undead, it grants turn undead, and specifically states that it's level counts for determining effective cleric level. 0 + 5 = 5. So not having cleric levels means nothing. RAW.
Kunikos 1255380125|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
RAW? What does that mean?
Raygereio 1255381072|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

That's where the bonus feats in 1.38 came from (the 25 and 30 abilities) and the ones for 1.39 are the replacements for the epic resistances. I'll eventually add the epic resistances but since you can take normal feats instead of them I decided to go ahead and give the bonus feats out now.

Woah, another new PrC? Verdant Lord? The only reference I could find is to a 3.0 version of the class intended for Druids (mostly), Rangers, and Plant domain Clerics. This looks like a customized version (being 20 levels) for 3.5E.

your project page looks a lot like various PW server ideas :) I really like the dynamic "demi-plane" that you as a player defend against heroes. I remember those games long ago that were like that and would be cool if updated and expanded into a new engine.
A few others peak my interest for various other server-like systems that would make GvE style plug and play easy.

I share kunikos feeling everyday i refresh the wip page
Kaedrin 1255994312|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
A number of those were ideas for the module I was planning.
Kaedrin 1256008579|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Somewhere around here I have notes on a construct system/project I had half done (at least script/item wise). I was thinking of a dynamic companion that could be added to any module that you would continue to evolve as you level up. You make choices (through conversation with the construct) on how to build and upgrade it. You could choose between choose upgrades like knockdown, regen/self-repair, ranged weapon or melee, stealth or heavy melee, which elemental spirit to infuse in each body part (each with a different effect), etc. Sort of a mix between Sacred 2's Temple Guardian and Supreme Commander with a dash of the construct in the OC (though much more developed) and a good, solid nod to the KOTR HK droid too. =)
It was going to be part of the module (the storage vessel for a companion's soul) but since there wasn't a female golem form I rethought the whole thing (though for a while I was tempted to do a construct for a male/seraphim for a female). That of course wouldn't work either since there aren't any items that would graphically fit a valkyrie/seraphim. I was torn between a vampire/dryad companion too. LOL I was essentially aiming for a Thunderbolts/Anti-Hero group of companions that banded together to stop a greater threat mixed with a personal story (with the primary companion).
A lot of the "projects" would fit in with just about any PW because I wanted them to be useful to both me (for the module) and for the PW worlds (and even for official campaigns as I was thinking of how to drop them in at a whim like the vendor in 1.39).
I guess it goes without saying I tend to overshoot the moon. :P
Edit: The other thing I had a frelling ton of notes about was the Dungeon Keeper/Overlord system staged in an elemental nexus. I really loved the old school Dungeon Keeper 1&2 and still despise EA for killing Bullfrog and Origin. The Overlord games have also been a hilarious and fun treat. The idea of trying to make "Dungeon Keeper 3" in NWN2 is actually *very* doable but likely beyond efforts/skills without a LOT of learning and a several year development schedule. LOL

I've been out sick today so I haven't even started yet on the work I need to do. I think I'm just going to catch up on some TV (still need to watch Castle, which btw, is the best show on TV at this time :P) and get back to it tomorrow when I'm not feeling so bleh.
Mammothtruk (guest) 1256099337|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Just watched Castle tonight myself… Im pretty sure your not me… maybe Im me and your you. Best TV show? Well if House gets to going instead of dragging. And Stargate Universe *feels* like it could go somewhere given enough time. NCIS is going well. NCIS LA less so but still interesting. Supernatural is good, but without serious somethings going down for more than a single show I wont be as impressed as last season. They need to start weaving shows together for it and make the story line stay in every episode. Smallville stopped being interesting a while back. Dollhouse is alright?
Oh and I hate Fox for canceling T:TSCC How do you cancel the best show you have going? WTF email got sent to Project FOX and followed up with a cancel on my account two weeks later after it didnt even hit their daily survey, "forum", or a reply.

When I get back in town from lunch I'll work on knocking out the release.

Means I might have to start playing SoZ again just to play with the new stuff. Ninja, Bard, Paladin, Ranger party :)

can't wait to try out all the new content in this release

Don't pester kaedrin too much… If you push him too hard, he might release something lousy… Or get exhausted from trying to get his work done, right…
Anyway, my point is simply this: He's an artist, not a machine!
*Belches up an atomic fireball*
That was the warning shot!!! LOL!

groupie….
Kaedrin never works harder than Kaedrin wants to work. I dont think showing our eager desire to play with new content is going to put any pressure on him that he already doesnt put on himself. The silly thing is he plays very little Nw2 most of the time and doesnt really hit PW servers. I keep suggesting to him that he pull the car over and play a month or so feeling out all the PWs out there that run his package.

hey just like me, i don't have much time to play nwn2 so i mostly just look at kaedrin's site and such at work sometimes
Kaedrin 1256574875|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I ended up playing a few hours of MUA2 after a big push so I'll continue working on it. It tied up a number of the script elements so I think I'm doing to 5 script updates before I can do a beta.

How is that? I was thinking of picking it up but wasn't sure. Are you going to get the Psylocke DLC?
Kaedrin 1257096094|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I'm headed to lunch in a nearby town but when I get back I'll wrap up the release. Just about got all the classes done, just need to finish the stacking levelup abilities and such.
Kaedrin 1257119869|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I changed the Ninja's AC type back to Dodge so that it would stack (given how common deflection AC is). It's supposed to be an untyped AC (that works like Deflection) in PnP but we can't do that easily in NWN2. So for now it will be a dodge AC bonus which is lost when you are flat-footed (as normal). I'll look at a stacking rule system for deflection AC later (similar to the one I did for Natural Warrior's natural ac).
I'm a bit worried about the dodge AC cap with the Ninja but there isn't much I can do about it. +Wis as Dodge AC, +5 dodge AC boots, +6 class Dodge AC are the three primary ones. That means a +9 max from wisdom (though what Ninja is going to have a 28+ wisdom?) or multi-class dodge abilities.

ninja/tempest/ib!
Kaedrin 1257128451|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Invisible Blade is done in the engine I believe so that only leaves the Tempest/Ninja. Even with a +8 wis item they would need a natural 20 wisdom to hit the cap (or 16 and the +2 from Tempest, etc). There's a little room for itemization but even if you come too close to the cap you can just use a different item instead of +Wis.
In truth, it also limits the Druid/Ninja abuse splash a bit since they will hit the cap pretty fast (meaning druids will stick to Monk for the +AC).
Ninja/Fist of the Forest could have cap issues but if you are focusing on Con you probably aren't focusing on Wisdom (since Dex is still the primary with Strength a strong secondary).
Mammothtruk (guest) 1257136526|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I figure someone out there will min/max it to the fullest at some point :) I figure most of the time a ninja even while taking other classes wont have much more than 14 wis (ranger/ninja or paladin/ninja). Druid/Ninja doesnt seem like that great of a combo, but I suppose if your into sneak attacking morphed as a bear you get what you get and you just use some other item.
No worries Im just looking forward to 1.39 releasing.

Swift Ambusher
You combine your scout training with the stealth of a rogue or ninja to open up new methods of ambushing enemies.
Type: General
Prerequisite: Skirmish +1 AC, Sneak Attack +1d6
Benefit: Your ninja, rogue, and scout levels stack for the purpose of determining your Skirmish AC bonus. In addition, your scout levels are treated as rogue levels for the purpose of determining your total number of sneak dice (ie, the progression is faster).
For example, a 4th-level scout/7th-level rogue would have a +3 Skirmish AC bonus (as a level 11 scout) and a +6d6 Sneak Attack (as a level 11 rogue).
***
Swift Hunter
You have applied the hit-and-run tactics learned from scouting to your strong hunting abilities.
Prerequisite: Skirmish +1 AC, Ranger 1
Benefit: Your ranger and scout levels stack for the purpose of determining your Skirmish AC bonus and how many dice of sneak attack you have.
For example, a 3rd-level scout/4th-level ranger would have +2d6 dice of sneak attack and a +2 Skirmish AC bonus.

I ran into a problem with the daggerspell shaper daggers so I may redesign the dagger claws ability to avoid the possible exploit. Similarly both of the daggerspells are probably going to get a tweak to the part where the dagger damage is added to the spell. Instead of full dagger damage (and all bonuses piled on it) I'm leaning on d4 + Daggerspell level (per dagger).
Dagger Claws will probably transfer the enhance bonus from the dagger and that's it. I may or may not allow the first (permanent) damage bonus to transfer as well, still debating that one. I will NOT put it in where you get +10 enhance/5d6 x 3 elemental damages per claw/addition to touch spells. Never going to happen.
Thoughts?
Kunikos 1258049638|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I don't think non-enhancement damage bonus should transfer. Although I think if the daggers have Keen, Death's Ruin, or the like then those should be allowed.
blot (guest) 1258054964|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
IMO it would make sense to allow enhancements to carry over. If there are weapons with crazy enhancements available and a dagger-shaper would not be able to use those (while shifted) it is going to discourage use of them. That's how it is for druids right now. I don't think it would be unbalanced since the weapons are available in the first place? I mean every other character could use them…

I'm with Kunikos. It wouldn't make sense to have a bite of fire anyway.

You know you could always get someone else to do the blueprints for you if you don't want to do them. I bet that guy who is doing the animal companion pack on the vault could whip them out for you, he seems to be a fan of your pack.

The usual.
purtellfr 1258329209|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Kunikos and blot are right.
Magical properties should carry over, for exemple; keen dagger +4str
You end up with +4 str and keen damage…
Sounds right to me.
Kaedrin 1258349225|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
I've got temporary code in right now that copies all properties *except* damage bonuses.
purtellfr 1258351401|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Perfect… Wasn't even thinking to get as much… PERFECT !
With the shapes we shouldn't need the damage bonuses anyhow.
NatHaz (guest) 1258731476|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Will you also get the daggers metal type added to bypass damage resistance? i mean if they are moulding the daggers into their form shouldnt the type of metal it is be transfered as well? hmmm not making sense having a bite of fire? you can already do that by casting flame weapon on a creature or yourself while shapeshifted.
Saralach (guest) 1258736544|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
True enough, but it shouldn't be automatic. I think that's the point being made.
Hmm.. Come to think of it.. If one were to use the special essences in motb like shadow of the void or shape of fire- that would likely incur the damage vulnerability. Not fair, sure, but that's what you get for having a super dagger. ;)

Speaking of a 2 month old post in this thread, if he decides to go with Dread Necromancer, I'm really curious how he's going to handle them becoming a lich at level 20. I'd like to see some sort of graphical change, but that might not be possible, easiest way would be to just give them the benefits without changing anything else, though.
Although, to be honest, if there was one (or two) that I'd really like to see come in from the 'Upcoming List,' it'd have to be the Dragon Shaman and the Dragon Lord.

The shared feats required for Daggerspell shaper and invisible blade would lead to some interesting builds. I dont know how far into the workings you are for this class. Would bleeding wounds work from a sneak thrown daggercast?
Or is it strange ranged touch magics thats impossible to tie in with the dagger damage, bleeding wounds probably only works when you actually hit with a light weapon.
The description from the wiki says - Bleeding WoundAt 1st level, when an Invisible Blade hits with a successful sneak attack, he inflicts a bleeding wound that deals 2 points of damage per round for 3 rounds. This damage stacks with previous damage caused by a Bleeding Wound attack. He must be either unarmored or wielding only light weapons in order to inflict a Bleeding Wound. At 3rd level, the damage increases to 4 per round, and at 5th level, it increases to 6 points per round. Each level of Bleeding Wound counts as one die of sneak attack damage for purposes of class and feat prerequisites.
Regardless of the class prerequisites, an Invisible Blade can use any light weapon to cause a bleeding wound (i.e. a handaxe or shortsword can be used, but not a rapier).

Bleeding wounds counts as normal sneak dice for my spell/feat based sneak routine.

First of all, a big THANK YOU to Kaedrin for all your hard work. I love the extra content for NWN 2, and I can't wait for the 1.39 update! (coming soon I hope!)
Quick question about the new Ninja base class: will the character model's default outfit be some sort of ninja uniform? Or something else? As far as I can tell, there aren't currently ninja-like clothes either in the OC, expansions or in the NWN Vault.
Thanks again! :)

It will probably just be a black monk robe. I don't have any 3d skills to make new armor/clothes so you get what is already in the game (with recolors).
