Looks to me as if they’re incompatible. They do similar, overlapping things.
@subtledoctor : this is my EE version (a substantially enhanced version, to be sure) of a component that was in SCS at least as far back as the late 2000s, and possibly since its launch 13 years ago.
Hello @subtledoctor, I'm getting this error. It's clearly something my end as normally this mod installs fine. Any ideas?
Cheers
Update: It would appear to be a problem related to tnb .8.37, as I've gone back to .35 and it installs fine.

I also have this error. Anyway to fix this, besides rolling back to .35?
@subtledoctor does the mod only work for NPCs? I just started a new game with a dwarven fighter/thief and thought I'd have a bit of fun giving him a bounty hunter kit. I didn't see a special ability for my PC though.
Hi. I installed this on BG1 EE using the EET installer. I get the "change kit ability" but not the "proficiency asignment ability". I do not use any other mod that touches proficiencies. Any idea what might be wrong? Also. How to disable "proficiency wipe" in .ini?
Anyone ever use this mod along with rogue rebalancing mod? I wonder if I use this mod to change an NPC to a mage/swashbuckler, would it use fighter THACO progression as intended by rogue rebalancing?
@Endarire
Yes, that is how this mod generally works. However, I ran into a few quirks while I was using this mod before (without rogue rebalancing). For example, my mage/swashbuckler could not put more than one point into dual wielding or thief melee weapon despite the fact that swashbuckler should be able to. Not sure if these are mod limitation or my mod installation is just messed up.
That's vanilla game mechanics, actually. The table for how many proficiencies each class/kit can take (WEAPPROF.2DA) has columns for each kit and each multiclass ... and when you're a multiclass with a kit, the column for the multiclass is what's used.
Backstabs and thief skill progressions work similarly, with the multiclass values taking priority over the kit values. None of the standard thief kits actually work properly as part of a multiclass. The swashbuckler is particularly bad, as it loses its primary drawback; a multiclass swashbuckler/X can backstab exactly as a normal thief/X, except better because of the kit's attack and damage bonus.
@jmerry Thanks for clarification. That makes a lot of sense. Do you happened to have experience using rogue rebalancing? I wonder if swashbuckler THACO progression table will be properly implemented for mage/swashbuckler.

To my present understanding, NPC_EE uses the full kit stats of whatever kit you choose.
