Throwing Kensai

Vycamros

Are there any existing mods that allow Kensai to use throwing daggers and axes like in Baldur's Gate? I exported my Black Pits team over to IWD and my Kensai/Thief can't use thrown weapons now. Thanks!

You're right, that's weird. I don't know if it's a bug because Kensaï aren't supposed to use projectile weapons.
Anyway, it would be quite easy to mod. Said weapons restriction just need to be unflagged for the class.

Are there any tutorials for doing this? I'm not familiar with modding at all.

I find that odd, I made a throwing dagger+1 in IWDEE and my kensai was able to use it no problem, but this "throwing dagger +1" can also be used as a melee weapon so that might make things work, now when it comes to throwing axes, are you talking about the throwing axe+2 that can also be used as a melee weapon, or just plain old throwing axes? I would almost bet that the kensai can use the throwing axe +2 because it also has that "melee" option as well

and I think that is the kink here, kensai's can only use throwing weapons if they have a melee counterpart to that very same weapon as well

@sarevok57 No, I thought that also but Kensaï can use normal throwing daggers in BG.

You can look for 'item modding'. You'll fin a file attached to this post. Just extract everything in your override folder (typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition\Data\00798\override). I used Near Infinity to edit. Only the Lover dagger needed modding as it's not in BG. The other items I just exported from this game (Kensaï and Cavalier classes are unchecked for unusability).

Thanks!
