Fire Elemental (Monk kit)

dib

I wanted to add a permanent Fire Elemental companion to my band of misfits, so I decided to throw together this little kit and also put it up here if anyone's interested. I haven't tested it much yet so it's probably not very balanced though.

You have to choose Human at character creation but your race and animation will be changed when you choose the kit. I would recommend against using it for your main character since I'm not sure what will happen when your race etc. is referenced in dialog.

Oh, and you should totally head over to Sorcerer's Place and get the Ignus soundset for BG (http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/index_mods_hosted_misc3.php).


FIRE ELEMENTAL: Fire Elementals are fast and agile creatures whose touch can set objects aflame. Owing to their fiery nature, they are unable to enter water. They are capable of speaking Ignan although they rarely speak.

UPDATE: Goofed up the clab-table (forgot to change it after I renamed some .spl-files). Now fixed.

UPDATE2: Noticed there was a bunch of garbage in the backup folder that was not supposed to be there... Now fixed.

Hello there! A bit of advice from someone who's played a bit with races and kits: I've made custom race PCs before and the game is still very much playable. However, I believe the vanilla romances won't start without some mod to remove the race checks since the PC wouldn't qualify for any of the race prerequisites. You can make the race display in character sheets and dialogue if you add the following lines to your .tp2 file:

OUTER_SET elem_lcase = RESOLVE_STR_REF(~elemental~)
OUTER_SET elem_ucase = RESOLVE_STR_REF(~Elemental~)
APPEND ~racetext.2da~ ~ELEMENTAL   145        %elem_lcase%       -1         %elem_ucase%          -1~ UNLESS ~ELEMENTAL~

@Artemius_I Cool, thanks!

Hmmm, I suspect this guy is not much of a romantic prospect for NPCs. He's very hot, sure, but they'll really get burned on that deal.

Sounds like a heated argument. He's kind of hot-head, sure, but he has a warm heart.
