[(BG2) Cosmetic Bug] Assassin, skald THAC0 bonus doesn't show on character sheet

CamDawg

Because of the funky way their thac0 bonus is applied via EFF, assassins and skalds receive the bonus but it's not reflected on their character record. This changes the way the bonus is applied so that it works and shows on their record.

// assassin and skald thac0 bonuses not displaying in character record
COPY_EXISTING ~spcl421.spl~  ~override~
              ~spcl541.spl~  ~override~
  LAUNCH_PATCH_FUNCTION ~DELETE_SPELL_EFFECT~ INT_VAR
    opcode_to_delete = "177" // delete use eff fx
    END
  LAUNCH_PATCH_FUNCTION ~ADD_SPELL_EFFECT~ INT_VAR
    opcode        = 278 // thac0 bonus
    target        = 2   // preset target
    parameter1    = 1   // +1
    timing        = 9   // instant/permanent
    resist_dispel = 2   // not dispel/bypass MR
    END

What happens if you set timing = 1? Is the base stat modified or does it attach an effect that goes away with death?

Coriander

I'm on it.

SethDavis

Ah, I'll fix the 2DA then.

Coriander

@SethDavis What?

SethDavis

@Coriander - This had come up elsewhere, and I changed things so that THAC0 could be added via a 2DA rather than a spell as the spell didn't appear to be working. But since you got them working the 2DA was going a bit overboard. It's still there if someone wants to use it, but the entries are all set to 0 now.

Coriander

Ok.

#278 always stays around. For this thac0 bonus, there is no base stat. Timing mode 9 should stay over death, no?

Nathan

This change has been integrated and should be present in the next build.

Confirmed Fixed

The innate THAC0 bonus of Assassins and Skalds is now reflected on the character Records page.

Cuv

Looks fixed to me also

Hey! I think, that there might be the same problem with Kensai (and perhaps Shwashbuckler as far as I understand it). That means that his +1 thac0 for every 3 levels also does not appear on his character sheet. It might be working "invisibly" though.

P.S.I'm sorry, the thac0 bonus for Kensai works. He gets first one at third level. Perhaps this should be in his description though...
