@Xhoblaim, I did a quick change of class and found that there were too many spells remembered over how many spell slots available. I removed all the remembered spells, er, I mean I added more spell slots
@Gusinda Yoyo! I got another dude to whip into shape. VORMINOOOOV!!!!! (insert echo here) ?.
He's gonna need some work, but think it's all do-able. To start, he's gonna need the innate skill WORD OF CHANGING, an extra fist for a weapon (preferably BITTER COLD TOUCH hands, from the spell), along with a slight increase to fist skills(thaco/dmg). He will need to be made into a vampire as well as a SHADOW WALK and CURSED FLAMES.
If its possible I'd like for the cursed flames ability to only be available when in the WOC form. Then I'll need MARK OF THE SHADOW VIPER skill available in both forms.
Next will be his armor color changes..
Edit: oh yeah, UAI and a avatar change to that of a warrior.
@Xhoblaim, here is the 1st version... He has Word of Change with the change given additional THAC0 and DMG. Still playing with the Bitter Cold as part of the attack... Vampire race and requested spells allocated. His avatar was already a fighter, did you want a different one or the standard Elf Fighter Male?
Getting Cursed Flames to work with only WOC is a bit beyond me... Mark of the Viper should be good to go as well as UAI.
@Gusinda Oh mybad, let me clarify..
I was looking for weapons of said skills like lich touch, cold touch etc. Kinda like how I have the werewolf claw. So I can do some cool shit lol. If you can't make weapons out of the abilities, maybe try to permanently slot one in each hand? But this is the general idea of that.
Standard elf fighter is good.
I had a feeling the CoF wouldn't work. Thanks for trying ???
The extra "hand" or "fist" for unarmed dual wield. You did it for me in bg2ee a long time ago for Valen.
While I got u here, can you make a random char and give it the UAI as a skill? Then make it so I can use it on others? If not, I'll get you that character I have that has the ability, maybe then you could make it work with on others.
Edit: Uh oh, WoC worked but once changed, can't unchanged lol. Also can't cast while changed either. ?
Also, I made the greatest of mistakes....and I want to apologise.. plz don't hate me lol. Vorminov was the wrong guy for the WoC...it was Ryu. That's why I uploaded that save, and I completely forgot. ??
@Xhoblaim, all I can say is doh... I had setup the ability for casting inate spells instead of Wizard for WOC and of course removed it when I found I was editing the worng guy in your save. Just forgot to put it back... Will setup Ryu instead and find out why the spell to change back isn't working.
No probs on putting UAI on the others. It is just a copy and paste now that it is in the saved game.
I understand about the extra fist now and will have a 'bash' at that.
@Xhoblaim, in this version, Ryu will have the WoC and it should allow him to change back this time... I allowed for two weapon but Ryu has a cursed dagger in his offhand which you can't remove. This means that you hit, you are delivering the damage from the fist as well as from the dagger.
@Gusinda so I gave it a go and didn't see any fist items. I put a character in this save named Kunoichi, in her main hand is a weapon from a spell to give you a better idea. I wanna get a weapon of each touch spell if possible..specially vampire touch. How I got this sword was when you gave Syrius his innate spells, one of those spells was the shadow sword. After that, I cast it, and for some reason I was able to unequip it and move it around. I've had it since lol.
Edit: Another thing to note, the shapechange, once I convert back it erases/disables my innate spell bar. But I can change back tho so...#Progress ?
@Xhoblaim, I can see there what is done and how it's done but I haven't played yet with adding an item and text... just hacking around using NI and EEKeeper.
What I have done here is to add the Vampire Touch to the fist attack. See how that goes until I can work out the text bit. I think I will have to use the WeiDU commands to do this (I wanted to learn it anyway but it will take a little longer while it happens).
@Gusinda ahhh i see now. Yeah its working with the shapechange. I thought it was being applied to the standard fist attack lol. Had all my chars throwin karate chops at each other tryin to drain life lmao
@Xhoblaim, found the time and have created a simple install for a sword... (which was quite 'simple' after all that). Were you still looking at a sword for Vampiric Touch or are you happy with the claw? If you do, did you have a specific name in mind and a slight history. Was there anything else that you wanted it to do?
@Gusinda preferably claw/fist. I was gonna try and dual weild a lich touch hand and a vamp touch, is it possible to permanately assign those skills to the weapon slots?
The sword sounds awesome, i will create some lore for that soon.
The Sword of Blood: Vampires Bane Long ago within the relms of Faerun exsisted a castle known to the locals as "The house of Demons". The neighbors of the this castle were stricken with fear at first, for the shadowy castle seemed to appear from nowhere.. shortly after its appearance, the disappearances began. Within these walls, housed an evil so great that the local priests forbid people from going near it and sent for a hero of light to quell the darkness, that warriors name was Valen. Valen crushed the evil within but did not leave unscathed or empty handed. He returned with the sword along with a few strange injuries. He continued to use its power to serve his people. One day, he and the blade just dissapeared... Townsfolk believe the evil in the blade consumed him, others believe his wounds got the best of him. The truth may never be known....
Ok its a bit rough around the edges but i think you get the idea of the story ?
I was thinkin of the sword looking like the sword of flame but dark red with a lighter reddish glow (if possible). For balance purposes, i think the weapon should damage the user like 3points per turn or round (forgot which was longer) as it does consume its host. What were you going to make the stats look like? I was thinking a +4 sword..but +5 seems more ideal...yeah, with a lil reduced dmg since the blade feeds from its victims slowly. The lore or story is short because i dunno how much text can fit lol, so when putting it in the description, go wild and add whatever you like to fill gaps if you think its necissary.
Are you able to add stat bonuses etc?
I was thinking it gives +1 or +2 to all stats and maybe like -2 or -3 constitution. Some immunities would be cool too.. like charm immune, fire and ice res (20%), reduce cast time by (?). What you think about these stats? If its possible to do.
Edit: what you think about the name of the sword? Too corny? Cliche maybe? Lol i dunno. If you have a cooler name lemmie hear it ??✊
Dangit, wish there were more paperdoll/avatar options lol. Maybe you could hook it up with a drizzt avatar but with free/open hands? If he has swords in his hand the graphics clash.. would be a perfect avatar for Valen. Ryu should look like Solefien imo, but i need a portrait for him. If the drizzt thing is possible, ill grab a pic of dracula or something...
@Xhoblaim, I wont be able to look at the sword today but shall do tomorrow. Name is fine but I will have a ponder, maybe Lifestealer (since it is doing it for both). Did you say that you wanted it cursed?
I did a quick crop on the first one (I agree that it it looks better) but can do any of the others if you wish. Just rename the xhobla part pf the name to what the char is called. Leave tje name in lower case with the M and L in upper, and it should be picked up ok by the game.
@Gusinda Yeah cursed is the idea.
Hmmm Lifestealer: Vampire's Bane....got a nice ring to it... I'm SOLD! ???
Lifestealer it is.
Meanwhile I'mma have a look around and see if I can't locate a cooler avatar that would work with the game. Any suggestions? I remember seeing this layout of infinity engine avatars that were all in a line and there a bunch of them. Not sure if they will work, you know what I'm talkin about? I can't remember what it was called.
PS: it just hit me..what about: Soul Reaver: Vampires Bane
I remembered the old PS1 game that was about Vampire's too. Seems more fitting now that I think about it.
Hmmm... ?
Well i coulda swear i see it somewhere..man this getting old thing sucks, i think i jus might be goin crazy a bit ??. I cant remember crap..
The only other avatar for vampire is the egyptian looking one right? Hmm i know, how about bhodi? I can make a chick vamp and use bhodi for the avatar. But with her being a vamp, shes gonna need some extra skills and some cons. Its jus that bhodi and female vamp avatars are so big im scared to look at the male vamp lmao.
@Gusinda check it out, heres the drizzt avatar i am lookin for. The one i used to have from my old bg2ee saves had no swords in his hands AND you could see the weapons he equipped. I lost him when i updated my game and now i cant find it anywhere lol. This version at least doesnt have the scimitars stuck in his weapon slots. Think it would be hard to find someone who might be able to make that happen? The avatas without swords is beyond epic for a vamp avatar.
@Xhoblaim, unfortunately there wasn't any picture or paperdoll for Drizzt in the saved game so I couldn't see much. When I did a search on Drow Avatars, there were a number of images that were without swords so may suit.
Attached is the update with the Sword.
You will need to replace the lang.zip file and add the file to the override folder. I have also included the sword into Ryu's inventory. It's a bit OP but see who you go. We can always make changes if necessary.
@Gusinda oh i dont mean the portrait, i meant the character themselves. I downloaded drizzt .char file from sorcPalace. His in game character looks like a vamp, if his swords werent in hands it would be perfect lol. Did his character show in the save?
Edit: sword looks good, figured out some changes...
Lets reduce the stats to +1 and the con remains the same and also reducing charisma by -3. Is it possible to have it reduce the attacks per round? If it can, lets drop 1/2 per. That way if its dual-wield, it wont be too insane.
Too much? Or does this sound better? Tryin to nerf it down a bit. Oh yeah, whats ur thoughts on the resist? I was thinkin of droping it to like 10.
@Xhobliam - Gotcha, avatar looks good. Will have a look and see what can be done. I will also make the changes to the sword. Stats look better and perhaps a bit more challenging.

Which do you like? Im diggin the first one, but the 3 looks nice too.
I did a quick crop on the first one (I agree that it it looks better) but can do any of the others if you wish. Just rename the xhobla part pf the name to what the char is called. Leave tje name in lower case with the M and L in upper, and it should be picked up ok by the game.
