[Mod] Warsling Sniper Kit for Fighters

Adul

I've had this small, simple kit lying around for years, and I've just gotten around to updating it to work with the EEs.

This is basically a fighter variant of the Archer kit, but for slings. Also, they have a passive ricochet ability that lets them hit up to two enemies at once at higher levels. The idea comes from the 3rd edition Races of Faerun rulebook.

The sling is a difficult weapon to master, but in the hands of a warsling sniper it becomes a precise tool of war. Although slings are commonly associated with and used by the hin, experts of the weapon may indeed come from any race.

Advantages:

- +1 bonus to hit and damage with missile weapons at first level and every 4 levels afterward
- At 10th level he gains the Improved Ricochet passive ability which allows all fired missiles to bounce off their primary target and hit one additional nearby foe

Disadvantages:

- May not specialize in any weapon other than the sling
- May not wear armor greater than studded leather
- Hit Die: d8

I've uploaded version 2.1, which fixes a bug that caused Improved Ricochet not to work. Also increased the ricochet bullet's damage (slightly) to account for sling weapon mastery.

is the ricochet get improved with levels?

Adul

@BaneBoneDust The ability pretty much stays the same, though the ricochet damage is improved by 1 for every 4 levels to simulate the missile weapon bonus the sniper gets.

Hello
I would like to translate this mod, but the tra files are not available. Can you please consider the chance to add them? Thanks

Adul

@Aedan I'll be honest, I'm not too keen on how that works anymore. It's been a long time since I used weidu. But if you add the tra files I'll be happy to release it as an update.

Link seems to be dead

@smeagolheart It works for me now. Maybe it was temporary?

Ciao!
I am really really busy, so I cannot take care of this, but here you can read a very short and simple guide about this topic: http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,28294.0.html

I ran into a weird glitch in the character creation screen. It allowed me to create this kit, but once the game started it reverted me back into an unkitted fighter. I was able to fix it with EEKeeper in case anyone else runs into this. I have several other mods installed so it's possible the problem was just in my game.

Fun kit though, I really enjoyed playing ranged classes so this gives me another one to play with after already finishing Archers and throwing Kensai runs
