Re: feat editing

its at ecl 4 so its balanced; atleast it is according to the writers of the pnp.
it would be nice however if i could get someone to implement this:
http://srd.pbemnexus.com/unearthedRaces.html

What i dont get is why people are against increasing power by races but arent against it by classes; i mean a whole heck of a lot of prc classes basically just make your character overpowered and they dont even give you an exp penalty.

As for why, because i think pixies are cool.

Why would you want to make a such a incredibly overpowered race?

I was wondering what program i would need in order to edit feats as well as where i might find said feats to edit them.
I was looking at the 2da files using a tlkeditor i found on nwn2vault but it seems like as though these are merely a listing or a linkage between usages rather than the feat in of itself.
As for why - i want to implement pixes as per DnD rules, So far ive gotten this done:
–4 Strength, +8 Dexterity, +6 Intelligence, +4 Wisdom, +6 Charisma.
Small size. +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide checks, –4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits 3/4 those of Medium characters.
Low-light vision.
Skills: Pixies have a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
Racial Feats: A pixie receives Dodge as a bonus feat.
+1 natural armor bonus.
Favored Class: Sorcerer.
Level adjustment +4

Now as for what i dont know how to do:
Special Attacks: Spell-like abilities.
*special Arrows (Ex): Pixies sometimes employ arrows that deal no damage but can erase memory or put a creature to sleep.

Memory Loss: An opponent struck by this arrow must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or lose all memory. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +2 racial bonus. The subject retains skills, languages, and class abilities but forgets everything else until he or she receives a heal spell or memory restoration with limited wish, wish, or miracle.

Sleep: Any opponent struck by this arrow, regardless of Hit Dice, must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or be affected as though by a sleep spell. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.

A pixie’s base land speed is 20 feet. It also has a fly speed of 60 feet (good).
*I can edit the speed, but i dont know how to edit it for them to have a different land speed vs air speed.

Special Qualities: Damage reduction 10/cold iron, greater invisibility, spell resistance equal to 15 + class levels.
*I gave them 5/cold iron since i found a warlock feat for that, but i need to make my own feat for 10/cold iron, spell resistance i gave them the drow 11+level for the same reason. Not sure how to add spell like 1/day racials yet either.

Will you be adding sonic might effects to sonic weapon and sonic shield? I noticed it isn't checked in the current spell scripts.

Oh, I forgot to count the Specialization and Weapon Mastery in the above post. I believe in total that would add +8 damage, +40 on a crit.

Elemental Scythe

in discussion Forum discussion / Character Builds » Elemental Scythe

Here's a little build I came up with, I decided to go with the Scythe when I saw how large it's Crit Multiplier was, though the Scimitar would work well, you'll crit more often, but your crits won't be as powerful, also good if you want to be more defensive.

Race: Human
Alignment: Evil or Good

1. Fighter (Weapon Focus (Scythe), Luck of Heroes, Dodge)
2. Fighter (Mobility)
3. Fighter (Iron Will)
4. Fighter (Spring Attack)
5. Fighter
6. Warrior of Darkness (Combat Expertise)
7. Warrior of Darkness
8. Elemental Warrior (Elemental Affinity (Fire))
9. Elemental Warrior (Whirlwind Attack)
10. Elemental Warrior
11. Weapon Master
12. Weapon Master (Free Choice)
13. Weapon Master
14. Weapon Master
15. Weapon Master (Free Choice)
16. Weapon Master
17. Weapon Master
18. Elemental Warrior (Free Choice)
19. Elemental Warrior
20. Warrior of Darkness (Weapon Specialization (Scythe))
21. Warrior of Darkness (Free Choice)
22. Fighter (Free Choice)
23. Fighter (Free Choice)
24. Fighter (Greater Weapon Focus (Scythe))
25. Fighter (Free Choice)
26. Fighter (Epic Weapon Focus (Scythe))
27. Fighter (Free Choice)
28. Fighter (Greater Weapon Specialization (Scythe))
29. Warrior of Darkness (Epic Weapon Specialization (Scythe))
30. Warrior of Darkness (Weapon Mastery (Slashing))

With this and the proper weapon enhancements, it's possible to have the weapon deal almost every type of elemental damage there is, just note that Darkling Weapon and Weapon Enchantments do not stack

Basically, with a correctly enchanted Scythe, your attack should deal something along the lines of this.

Base Weapon Damage (2d4)
+5 Physical (Base Weapon Enhancement +5)
1d6 Acid Damage
1d6 Electrical Damage

1d6 Cold Damage (Darkling Weapon)
2d6 Fire Damage (Elemental Weapon)

Crit Chance 17-20(With Keen Edge spell or Improved Critical)/x5
Massive Criticals: 4d6 Fire Damage (Elemental Weapon at 5th Level) OR 2d10 (Darkling Weapon)

The builder site is a fantastic tool but it can't do any of the custom levelup script content I have. So hospitalers don't get credit for their spell progression, sneak doesn't stack, wildshape doesn't stack, eldritch blast doesn't stack, etc etc etc.

I was basing myself on the builds i posted on NWN2 Character Builder. In this case sorry and thanks for the fast answer

My content has stacked sneak dice exactly as you suggest for well over a year now if not two. Even Death Attack gets stacked.

It would be nice that sneak attack damage from all the new PRCs could stack. I don't wanna add to your work load, but it would be a logic to had it to the next release (ninja etc…). For example a Ro1/Cle7/Stalk3 would not get the +1d6 sneak attack damage at lvl3.
Thanks nwnplayer
P.S. sorry for my poor english I'm from France

I am not sure I didnt check the combat log …..

The only point of this was I was trying to say perhaps 1.23 fixed this problem because thats what nwn2wiki.org ''seem'' to suggest that tower shield now properly gives -2 but this might be a false statement and the character sheet as I have sadly learned over the years does lie…..

Usually things that appear on character sheet but not in combat log aren't missed by many.. but I've never heard that the tower shield negative ab is one of those things that only shows up on the character sheet.. that's why I was so suprised when I read this.. you're 100% that it's a incorrect description on the tower shields?

Celestial Knight: Have you looked at the combat log to see what it says? The character sheet is about as worthless as a wooden nickel.

oops thats 25 bab not 27, forgot whirling is only a medium bab build; so only 12 attacks per round

Interesting discussion…
But just going for AC or AB does not a good build make.
Lets take for example…A swarm of moderately powerful rats attacking a level 30 character.
Rats average damage is say 20 with 2 attacks per round, your surrounded and so lets say at any given point in time 15 rats are attacking. Thats 30 attacks per round 5% of which will hit your character even if you had 100000 AC. There are a couple of ways to defend against this.
1) get DR
2) get epic dodge
3) get concealment
4) get mirror image
Now Lets say you get epic dodge and concealment…50% of the attacks fail so instead of 1.5 ave in a round you get .75 which is then easily mitigated by epic dodge removing 1 attack per round.
So, For a build to get Epic dodge + concealment + mirror image + DR + high AC would make that build a true tank which could only be hit if you up the stakes and say give the rats more attacks per round.
How to you get this?
How about:
5 wiz
10 swiftblade
8 whirling dirvish
7 eldrich knight
youll have BaB of 2 + 10 + 8 + 7 or 27 BaB so 14 attacks per round each dealing 2d6 extra dmg from max swiftblade. So now all you need to do is pick a race that has a dex/int bonus as well as martial weapon racial. So planetouched and elves work, but if you wanted to you could just as easily go for a giant like the firbolg or something.
A variation on this build is to switch out EK for tempest to get 2 ab 3 ac and whirlwind attack but you will lose out on full arcane caster progression if this is done.

wrong if you look at the latest update of nwn2wiki.org you will find that since 1.23 THERE IS A PENALTY of -2
