[MOD] Custom NPC Kits

Aquadrizzt · August 2013

There is a lot of redundancy within NPCs in BG1 and BG2. Think Imoen/Alora [BG1], Faldorn/Jaheira [BG1], Nalia/Imoen [BG2] and the trinity of Keldorn/Anomen/Mazzy [BG2]. Unfortunately, one of the NPCs is often far superior (how many times have you taken Alora over Imoen?) and thus the other sits in their predetermined spawning point and is never utilized.

Similarly, the generic classes of BG1 (and even some of the NPC classes in BG2) leave little to talk about in the story-telling department. Imoen learns her thief skills by adventuring and skulking around Candlekeep, whereas Alora learned hers through a life of burglary in Baldur's Gate. Despite the difference in their lives and talents, the two characters share an identical, generic kit.

I was inspired by Gibberlings 3's NPC Kitpack (http://gibberlings3.net/npckit/) which gave some of the characters a much needed kit upgrade that incorporated their background and gave them unique abilities.

My goal with this mod is to do something similar to G3's mod, but expand it so that most (if not all) of the NPCs in the games receive kits that are both more appropriate to their background and make them more interesting to bring along. In doing so, I hope to encourage the use of some of the oft forgotten characters.

Here's a brief list of the classes I've sketched out the characters.
* Ajantis - Squire of the Radiant Heart
* Alora - Burglar
* Branwen - Battleguard of Tempus
* Coran - Scout
* Dorn - Blackguard
* Dynaheir - Hathran
* Edwin - Red Wizard [Conjurer]
* Eldoth - Charlatan
* Faldorn - Shadow Druid
* Garrick - Thespian
* Imoen - Adventurer
* Jaheira - Harper Avenger
* Kagain - Mercenary or Battlerager
* Khalid - Bladesinger
* Kivan - Seeker
* Minsc - Rashemi Barbarian
* Montaron - Assassin
* Neera - Wild Mage [or Wild Sorcerer]
* Quayle - Cloaked Beguiler
* Rasaad - Sun Soul Monk
* Safana - Swashbuckler
* Shar-Teel - Harrier
* Skie - Acrobat
* Tiax - Zealous Seeker of Cyric
* Viconia - Nightcloak of Shar
* Xan - Duskblade or Eldritch Knight
* Xzar - Blood Mage
* Yeslick - Alaghor of Clangeddin Silverbeard

Inspiration from these classes are drawn from a variety of sources, including
* G3's Song & Silence
* G3's NPC Kitpack
* The Faiths of Faerun mod
* G3's Divine Remix
* Various 3E sourcebooks (including Player's Handbook 2, Complete Arcana, Complete Divine and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting)
* Various Pathfinder class archetypes

Opinions? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Aquadrizzt · August 2013

I've fleshed out my designs for the various mages and attempted to keep them balanced with each other. (Neera isn't included yet because I'm waiting on a response.) Power is slightly (or grossly, I can never tell) above average in order to provide reasons to bring NPCs over custom crafted PCs.

Just to cheer you up, I really like the idea (and the BG2 NPC Kits mod).
Your list sounds very good and it will make charname more unique, just because the NPCs don't have the same class as him. But I'm not sure if it is possible to have all the different spell-lists and weapon restrictions. If this is possible it would be awesome. Go for the eye's !

I'm not sure if it is possible to have all the different spell-lists and weapon restrictions.

In regards to spell lists, I believe that there was a guide (I believe it was from G3's Divine Remix ) on how to make custom spell lists for different classes. I'm relatively new to this, but I believe that spells can be granted using Effect 171 (Give Ability) and removed from availability using Effect 172 (Remove Ability). I could be wrong.

In regards to weapon restrictions, I am a huge fan of the UAW feature from BG2 Tweaks, not only does it make more sense ("no you are a mage, that unenchanted warhammer resists your attempts to wield it") but it also removes the headache of usability flags.

The way I would implement weapon proficiency is: any character can wield any weapon provided they meet the strength criteria, /however/ they can only put proficiency points in certain weapons dependent on their class. So while yes, you could have a mage with high strength wielding the Flail of the Ages, they wouldn't be as good as a cleric with a point in Flails.

Darkersun · October 2013

This will be very hard to implement, but if possible, it would be awesome!

Thalamond · October 2013

Great with Xan. Finally he will have a use for that fancy sword of his

. Good luck with this, sounds very good and original !

kensai · December 2013

Wow. this mod will be so much fun.
Just a fwe thoughts
I think Minsc kit is too powerful, and Xan kit must be bladesinger, that's why he got a moonblade.

Tome · April 2014

Thanks very much.

Fallen_Baron · April 2014

Please let me know if this gets off the ground; I'd love to re-run through with some of these characters! It's always painful to have to leave a great character behind, simply because they don't stack up against another one. Many thanks for your efforts!

Funkave · April 2014

Could it be possible to get a partial release? Some of the currently implemented kits are very interesting for the main PC as well...

Sure I could release stuff the casters' kit pack. However, this kits are designed with NPCs in mind and are not (by design) available for the PC. This could be changed of course, if certain kits are suitably appealing, but currently the coded kits are only available for the NPCs they are designed for.

Loub · April 2014

@Aquadrizz
I find the Hathran kit especially appealing too my being. Maybe it's because of the fact that Hathran is my favorite PrC in PnP (I've had a total of 3 Hathran Archivists, one of which I am currently playing with in my circle).
I would most certainly give up a little more of my sanity to have a taste of its wonders... I wonder if it truly is possible to call forth Exues by stuffing live black chickens in clay pots until they die of crushed insides.
Hm...
Please I beg you before I slip into batshittery, could you please provide me with the files for the Hathran kit?

Hathran, Hathran, Hathran - oh, what would I do without Place Magic abuse!? Hathran, Hathran, Hathran - Circle Magic slaves ahoy! Hathran, Hathran, Hathran - to call forth the spirits of joy! Hathran, Hathran, Hathran - making all other casters useless since the dawn of time!

Just a disclaimer, place magic and circle magic are both not implemented as I'm not even sure how to do those within the confines of the game engine. Also, BG1/BG2 are not in Rasheman so place magic isn't available. Here is the description of Hathran in my currently working mod.

HATHRAN: Hathran are members of the Wychlaran, a powerful group of female spellcasters who rule over Rashemen and protect their people from the evil Red Wizards of Thay. Unlike conventional wizards, Hathran are able to produce magical effects by channeling their internal magical energy in a manner similar to sorcerers. Hathrans blend arcane and divine magic, a blessing from the Three, the trio of Chauntea, Mielikki and Mystra.

Weapons and Armor Proficiency
- Melee: May become proficient (+) in Club, Dagger and Staff.
- Ranged: May become proficient (+) in Dart and Sling.
- Styles: May not use weapon styles.
- Armor: May wear Robes.
- Shields: May not use shields.

Advantages
- Can cast arcane spells from any school.
- Can use both arcane and divine scrolls.
- Gains Hathran spell list in addition to selected spells.
-- 1st: Command, Cure Light Wounds
-- 2nd: Flame Blade, Slow Poison
-- 3rd: Cure Disease, Cure Medium Wounds, Silence (15' Radius)
-- 4th: Call Woodland Beings, Death Ward
-- 5th: Mass Cure, Neutralize Poison
-- 6th: Chaotic Commands, Magic Resistance
-- 7th: Conjure Fire Elemental
-- 8th: Regeneration
-- 9th: Shield of the Archons

Disadvantages
- Suffers a -1 penalty to casting speed for all spells.~

I am aware of that - my ramblings were there for poetism - the truth is, I really want to savor this pasty of yours and after that have a good Streuselkuchen with some grape Schmier - and Brazilian Mint juice.

So could you pretty please post a version of this before I have to turn to macumba - you wouldn't really want to have a black chicken crushed alive in a clay pot because of you, would you?

tibicina · May 2014

Having "divine grace" in a custom spell list would be great... Resistance is the closest spell to it, but tweaking existing spells is not something N00b kit makers like myself want to tackle...

comebackhome · May 2014

I actually really like the idea of these kits. Having kits specifically available to NPC only is appealing to me and more of an incentive to use them and not go on solo runs etc. Keep up the good work.

Aquadrizzt · September 2014

So I've been revisiting this mod idea for a bit now and I realized that the kits I've already made don't really fit well within the framework of 2e kits. Furthermore, having these extensive progressions planned out for characters that will never exceed level 10 or so (excepting XP cap removal and even then) is pointless and quite time-consuming.

Because the mages hold a special place in my heart (and because T&B is released so my understanding of mage coding is still fresh), here is a look at the revised mages.

Dynaheir: Hathran of Rashemen [Sorcerer]

Advantages:
- Gains a +2 bonus to all saving throws.
- May cast arcane spells and gains a set of divine bonus spells.
-- Bonus Spells: Command (1). Cure Light Wounds (1), Silence: 15' Radius (2), Slow Poison (2), Cure Medium Wounds (3), Death Ward (4), Mass Cure (5), Chaotic Commands (6), Shield of the Archons (7)

Disadvantages:
- Has a permanent -1 penalty to casting speed.

Xan: Bladesinger of Evereska [Mage]

Advantages:
- Hit Die: d6
- May achieve mastery (+++) in Longswords and Specialization (++) in Single Weapon Style.
- May wear Leather and Studded Leather with no chance of arcane spell failure.
- Gains a +2 bonus to saving throws vs. spells.
- Gains a +1 bonus to hit and damage with longswords (+1 per 3 levels).
- Gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class.

Disadvantages
- Has a permanent -2 penalty to saving throws vs. death.
- Has a permanent -2 penalty to casting speed.
- May cast one fewer spell per level per day.
- Has a permanent -4 penalty to hit and damage against elves.

Neera: Anarchic Sorceress [Sorcerer]

Advantages:
- Gains access to a set of bonus spells.
-- Bonus Spells: Nahal's Reckless Dweomer (1), Chaos Shield (2), Dispel Magic (3), Confusion (4), Chaos (5), Disintegrate (6), Improved Chaos Shield (7), Improved Mantle (8), Shapechange (9).
- Gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class (+1 per 5 levels).

Disadvantages:
- Has a permanent 5% chance of having a Wild Surge occur when casting a spell.

Edwin: Red Wizard Summoner [Mage]

Advantages:
- Hit Die: d6
- May cast two additional spells per level per day.
- Has a +2 bonus to saves vs. death and polymorph.

Disadvantages
- May not cast spells from the schools of Divination or Invocation.
- Has a permanent -2 penalty to saving throws vs. spells.

Xzar: Zhent Necromancer [Mage]

Advantages:
- Gains a +1 bonus to saves vs. death. (+1 per 3 levels).
- Gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class vs. undead.
- May cast one additional spell per level per day.

Disadvantages:
- May not cast spells from Enchantment or Invocation.

I feel pretty confident about Dynaheir, Xan and Neera, but I wasn't feeling incredibly inspired for Edwin or Xzar so I figured I'd ask for comments and criticism. Primary things I'm worried about are: interesting or unique feel to each option, fair trade-offs within each kit, an overall sense of balance among the group.
