Messing with Hexxat (minor spoilers)

DinsdalePiranha

this may be just very, very light modding, pretty much with EEKeeper, but please bear with me.

I've just finished Hexxat's quest, and seeing as I don't exactly need another thief (especially not pureclass), and the fact that the party I've planned - FMT main, Viconia masquerading as Aerie, modded to C/M, with Edwin and Neera - is pretty much impossible, considering the latter two can't be in the same party, I've had the genius idea of... turning Hexxat into Edwin. sort of.

now, I've noticed that the sun damage comes from her amulet, which is fine and dandy, considering I'm gonna be changing that anyway. other than that, she only seems to have a few innate abilities, vampire as race, which may or may not have any impact, and 100% poison resistance, again, easily "fixed".

my question is, for people that are in way more deep into modding than I'll ever be: is there any other stuff about her that I'm not seeing? hidden regeneration, tricky scripts, stuff like that? basically, anything that can mess up my "oh so tricky" plan?

thanks in advance

Remove her amulet and she'll be immortal. There is a lot of scripting going on behind-the-scenes, and removing her amulet could muck more than a few things up.

yeah, I did so, she became... very much mortal (actually managed to chunk her when testing it)

what I'm more interested in is whether or not could removing her amulet, or changing her race/class/etc cause problems later on in her dialogues, but here's hoping it won't.

LiamEsler

Sweet. It could cause problems, yeah.

can we safely change her to a thief kit (I could see her like a sort of bounty hunter, only she don't chase people but treasure - on a side note, a treasure hunter kit could be a sweet idea !) without breaking the character and her quest ? ^^

Changing her to a kit shouldn't break her quest.

I changed her to an Archer ranger once, so altering her class really has no impact on her quests. However, there IS one spot in one of her quests (in ToB as I recall) where it is assumed she can stealth. Not REQUIRED, but something to keep in mind.

Mod her!!!!!!! Mod her please! Shes so bland and boring as just a thief....Or a mod that makes her duel classable/ able to keep the changes you make to human hexxat. ( duel classing her lol )

I think the new EE thief (shadowsomething) kit would suit her well, vanishing into thin air etc, but change the poison attack to vampire touch type ability, which allows her to gain a bit of health/heal a bit of health.

A pure thief alone is just useless in bg2 tbh and the high stats doesn't offset her bad class and managing the cloak of weak vampire. Also imo your fighting the vamps half the game so it makes less sense to bring her along. I understand that cant be changed lol, but a side note.
