Simple Shaman mod

Hey y'all. Shaman is a fun class but there's a few things about it that bugged me, so I decided to mod it and the class really came to life. I'm uploading it incase anyone else wants to try it out.

What does it do?
1) Fixes a minor bug where you were getting the Shaman specific spells a level early.
2) Disables Shaman dance. You can still dance, but nothing will happen.
3) You automatically pick the Avenger spells at specific levels:
Chromatic Orb @ lvl1
Web @ lvl4
Lightning Bolt @ lvl6
Improved Invisibility @ lvl8
Chaos @ lvl10
Chain Lightning @ lvl12

How do I use it?
Simply unzip the .2DA files and stick them in your Override folder. Then start a new Shaman.

It should also be compatible with BGII, but I haven't tried it out there yet. Let me know if you have any issues. Enjoy!

    So close to my dream druid there, if only there was a way to still get bonus spells with wisdom for Shaman (then bonus spells for charisma on sorcerers.)

    An Avenger that casts spells spontaneously?
    Sounds like fun, but why disable the dance? Was it considered overpowered?

    I'm curious as why you disabled the dance? Spirit summoning was cool.

    Probably because he felt it overpowered and not fun to just stand around

    I disabled the dance as a trade off for the new spells. I certainly don't consider it an overpowered ability. I also don't find it very fun.

    Ok, but what about the Shaman specific summons? I would argue that, if you dislike the dance, you need to somehow still give them their summons. Maybe have Shaman summons as Shaman only spells?
