Dwarf limited to 16 Dex

apetersson

title says all - somehow i doubt this is intended. while trying out the new DD kit i noticed it cannot go over 16 dex in the character creation. not only DD but all dwarf classes.

apetersson

also, cha limited to 15

Endeavour

From patch notes: "Dwarf minimum dexterity and charisma changed". Yep, it's about minimum, not maximum

apetersson

ok, well then the race description needs an update i guess

Madhax

That doesn't sound right... I hope the max scores weren't bugged when they adjusted the minimum scores.

Jalily

That is precisely what happened. Here's a temporary fix; unzip and drop it in your override folder.

thanks

Great example of how an opt-in beta program would catch this stuff...

Just rolling a dwarven defender and noticed the max DEX gone down from 17 to 16.

Is this intended? I looked on the notes and it says that the minimum was changed for DEX+CHA.

I don't know what the patch notes seem to suggest concerning the Cha and Dex changes.

But according to vanilla behaviour as well as of PnP rules, Dwarves get a - 2 penalty to CHA and a
-1 penalty to DEX at character creation.

current situation (patch 2014):
max Dex allowed: 16
max Cha allowed: 15

should be:
max Dex allowed: 17
max Cha allowed: 16

Yeah, the issue seems to be that there are TWO different files which control this.

One controls the base acceptable roll range, while the other applies a flat bonus or penalty to the base.

Anyone else noticed they nerfed dwarves' Dex and Cha by another -1 each? They can only get 16 Dex and 15 Cha now. =(

No, it's not meant to be intended.

Grab the quick fix for it in the thread referenced below.

Oh that's a relief. I just saw the "Dwarf minimum Dex and Cha changed" part in the patch notes, tried to roll a Dwarven Defender, noticed new max stat, and assumed it was nerfed XD

Or not enough.

Halfing max wisdom seems to have been nerfed to 16 too - didn't it used to be 17?

Yes

@Fardragon - Though I'm able to create a halfling Cleric with 17 Wisdom... (in patch "2014")

Odd. I created a halfing cleric (Talos kit) for the Black Pits just now, and I couldn't do anything to raise my wisdom over 16.

Edit: Tested further, and for me halfing wisdom is definately capping at 16, regardless of class, kit, alignment or any other factor I can think of.

@Jalily - Do you know if there's any quick fix planned for the Firebead's broken Candlekeep quest? Might confuse new players for sure.

@HaHaCharade The quick fix for that is here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/268466/#Comment_268466

Ha, sweet

Jalily

The fix I posted in the linked thread also takes care of the halfling Wisdom bug.

Do you know if his gold trick is broken now too because of it? Only tried it once but it didn't trigger... but it could be me. I'll try it again later.

Corvino

@HaHaCharade I also tried this with a new character and Firebead didn't seem to be in his normal gold-giving habit. I thought I might have miscounted until I saw your post.

Aha! That'll be it, I have that installed. Thanks @Jalily
