The Workshop Kitpack

Languages: English, French (JohnBob)

This is a kitpack I've been working on for a while. It currently has 17 kits + 11 multiclass variants. Also adds 30+ items, including 6 Hunter Badges, 12 Caryll Runes, and 17 other misc items. Heavily inspired by FromSoft's Soulsborne games and probably other sources. Compatible with BG:EE, BG2:EE, IWD:EE, and EET.

NOTE: The abilities tables for these kits are made at install time. Every kit clones the table of the base class (if it exists). This means that any class revisions installed before this mod will be included with these kits.

Compatibility:

IMPORTANT: If you are running into an issue with the arcane kits (i.e. Starjammer) where they don't have the full selection of spells when leveling up or at character creation, a current workaround is to install subtledoctor's "No Opposition Schools" tweak. You can get it from the Subtled Spell Tweaks mod. This tweak is safe to install at end of order.

More info: Due to how the game detects mage specialists, once you get a high enough number of kits, any arcane kits added afterwards will share restricted schools with 1-2 specialists. This only affects the spell selection screen. Mages and bards can still memorize scrolls. This is a problem for Sorcerer kits, however. For now, best thing to do if the issue comes up is to install the tweak mentioned above.

--

General guidelines:

Install after Rogue Rebalancing. Several RR files need to be patched for full compatibility.
Install after class revision mods, unless they specifically say to install after any kits.
Install after mods that revise or overwrite spells.
Install after mods that add new weapons or armor.
Install before mods that overhaul the weapon proficiency system.

NOTE: I'd recommend to install this mod generally together with other kits, but as the last kit mod, with the possible exceptions of Talents of Faerun and multiclass-focused mods. Technically, this mod is safe to install even after most tweak mods, but it's still a good idea to follow the normal install guidelines, which has kits going before tweaks.

--

Spellcasting systems:

Compatible with Faiths & Powers spheres system.
- Can install before or after FnP (but I'd recommend after).
- See below for additional info.
Compatible with Deities of Faerun spheres system.
- Install this mod after DoF.
Compatible with subtledoctor's 5e casting mod.
- Install this mod before 5e casting.
- You should also install the extra component related to 5e casting.

--

Talents of Faerun notes: (tl;dr install spells before and other stuff after)

Spell components can be installed before or after this mod. I'd recommend to install them before (especially IWD spells).
Race component can be installed before or after this mod.
Kit/Tweak components should be installed after this mod. Some are fine installed before, but they are all mixed together, and some need to be installed after, so easier to just install everything after.
The divine casting kits have full support for custom spheres. Must be installed before the cleric revisions.
All kits need to be before anything that touches the proficiency or HLA screens (or buttons might not work).

NOTE: This was asked about, so I'll mention that ToF Evasion can be installed before or after this mod. Kits that gain Evasion will gain it whether installed before or after. Spells/abilities that allow an Evasion check will only do so if Evasion is already in the game. If you want to install Evasion before this mod, consider using the IWDification version instead.

--

OlvynSpells notes:

Spell tweaks can be installed before or after this mod. I'd recommend to install them before.
Paladin/Ranger components can be installed before or after. Note that these need to be installed after most other kit mods.
New spells can be installed before or after. Note that these need to be installed after most other kit mods (OlvynSpells adds spells directly to the kit tables for some classes).
Untested with 3e metamagic component. Install it after this mod (it adds an EEex effect to each spell).

--

Feats/abilities mods:

Crow Hunter can use HLA traps, including mod-added ones (install order doesn't matter). Must be Thief level 14 or higher.
Kits that have a disadvantage of not gaining a class ability should generally not take those abilities as feats.

Bard revisions notes:

Rogue Rebalancing: Install after all components of RR (patches a couples files).
Shohy's bard song mod: Install after Shohy's mod (patches 1 file).
Bardic Wonders: Install after tweak components of Bardic Wonders.
Talents of Faerun: With the HLA component, Powder Keg can take Enhanced Song but the song switching ability will change to the vanilla HLA song. This mod needs to be installed before the HLA component.
Untested with other bard revisions.

FnP additional info:

The multiclass kits do not require the FnP multiclass mod for compatibility with FnP.
For best compatibility, install this mod AFTER applying the sphere system.
It will still work if installed before FnP, but some spheres may be incorrect (will update if it gets fixed).

FnP multiclass:

Current versions of FnP multiclass hide the F/M/C class from the selection screen.
It may possibly be updated to not disable F/M/C, but for now, there are a few ways around this:

Install this mod after FnP multiclass. It will automatically re-enable the class.
Use cdtweaks/Tweaks Anthology. It has components that make all classes (including FMC) available to all races.
Edit clsrcreq.2DA. Just find FIGHTER_MAGE_CLERIC, and set whichever races you want to 1.

This is how I'd do the install:

FnP spheres, kits, usability
The Workshop Kitpack
FnP multiclass kits (if using)
cdtweaks - enable all classes/multiclasses for all races

Dan_P · October 2022

This post will be used for additional info on items, spells, abilities, etc.

Additional Info (Kit Abilities):

Affected by Wild/Dead Magic zones:

Denial (Grave Warden)
Dragonrot (Medic)
Moonlight Vortex (Moonlight Knight)
Force (Temple Knight)
Bolt of Glory (Temple Knight)
Unleash Magic (War Magican)
Twisted Barricade (War Magican)

Can be removed by Zone of Sweet Air

Incinerate (Warhound)
Dust Explosion (Powder Keg)

Cures elemental DoT damage (ex. Melf Arrows):

Healing Blood (Blood Minister)
Healing Rain (Medic)
Cure Afflictions (Medic)
Autoimmune (Nurse)

--

Other info:

Blood Minister's Blood transfusions will be removed by a Restoration or Greater Restoration (any spell with restoration opcode). This is done for lore reasons. (Madman's Blood will obviously not remove itself)
Bleeding effects don't wake sleeping creatures. These effects can be cured by Heal, Regeneration, Lay On Hands, and similar spells, as well as most healing spells/abilities from this mod. Also, Stoneskins and Shield of Lathander (or similar mod spells) will protect from bleeding.
Drifter and Grave Warden can see clearly while inside a Powder Keg's Dust Explosion once they gain the requisite effects (cloud immunities and blindness immunity).
Nurse's Medical Darts deal double healing or poison damage on a critical hit (target must be vulnerable to crits).
Shaman Bone Blade's Charm effect lasts only a few rounds, but it can't be broken, except by a Spiritual Clarity (i.e. if you hit it with an AoE spell, it remains charmed).
Medic's Dragonrot is affected by wild/dead magic, but otherwise is treated as a natural effect. It will bypass most spell defenses, and can affect any creature type. It is treated as a status effect, so effects cannot be stacked. It can be cured by Heal, Greater Restoration, and abilities from this mod that cure elemental DoT spells.
This mod accounts for EE Fixpack changes to status immunity/curing. For causing statuses, currently only one thing has longer duration effects that need removing separately (Shaman Bone Blade). A subspell for that is added to the relevant EEFP file, if detected.
The multiclass Cleric kits will gain Holy Symbols at the next Cleric level after 4 million total XP (BG2/EET).

6th level: Electrocannon
7th level: Revitalizer
8th level: Riftgate

Riftstep
(Alteration)

Level: 1
Range: 0
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

When Riftstep is cast, a portal opens up in front of the caster, who immediately steps through it. The character may move freely within the rift for 7 seconds while others are frozen in time, but cannot attack, cast spells, or use any items or abilities. After 7 seconds, another portal opens up and the caster steps out of the rift.

A rift should be handled with caution. When this spell is cast, there is a 5% chance to attract the attention of 5 Space Gibberlings, who will savagely attack the caster and <PRO_HISHER> companions.

Steady Current
(Evocation)

Level: 2
Range: 25 ft.
Duration: 1 round
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 2-ft. by 25-ft. beam
Saving Throw: None

The caster shoots a beam of pure energy that extends to a target, effectively linking the two for one round. The target and any creatures in the path of the beam take 3d6 electrical damage. The spell strikes a second time halfway through its duration, inflicting an additional 3d6 electrical damage. If either the target or the caster moves around, the beam will extend or shrink to maintain the link between the two.

Gemini Swap
(Alteration)

Level: 3
Range: 500 ft.
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

The caster selects a target and opens up two Dimension Doors, linked through the Astral Plane, which immediately transfer both target and caster, switching their positions. This spell can be used on both allies and enemies, and the target does not need to be in visual range. As long as the caster knows the target's position on the map, this spell can be cast on it.

Pacifying Field
(Abjuration)

Level: 4
Range: 0
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius
Saving Throw: None

A Pacifying Field covers a 20-ft. radius, centered on the caster. All creatures within the area at the time of casting, whether ally, enemy, or neutral, are enclosed by a protective Sanctuary for one turn. Creatures under a Sanctuary cannot be directly targeted by spells or attacks. There is no Saving Throw and the spell ignores magic resistance.

A sanctuaried creature can move around or cast non-attack spells without breaking the spell. Any combat actions, for example, casting a Fireball, a True Sight, or a summoning spell, will remove the Sanctuary.

Jolt
(Alteration, Evocation)

Level: 5
Range: Special
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 party member
Saving Throw: Special

This spell will restore a fallen creature back to a sliver of health. The target can be of any race and must be a member of the party. To use this spell, cast it on the dead character's portrait.

When cast on a living creature, the spell will cure any form of hold, paralysis, feeblemind, sleep, stun, and intoxication. Any cursed items or effects are also removed.

Electrocannon
(Evocation)

Level: 6
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 5-ft. radius
Saving Throw: 1/2

This spell fires an orb of pure energy at a creature, inflicting 1d4+2 points of electrical damage per level of the caster to the target and any within 5 feet. A 15th level caster, for example, would inflict 15d4+30 damage. Creatures may attempt a save vs. Spell for half damage.

Revitalizer
(Necromancy, Evocation)

Level: 7
Range: Visual range of the caster
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None

The caster shoots a golden, pulsating orb at a creature in visual range, restoring 20 + 1d4 Hit Points per level of the caster. A 15th level caster, for example, would restore 20 + 15d4 Hit Points.

IWD: The spell does not affect creatures without corporeal bodies, those of extraplanar origin, or those not living.

Riftgate
(Conjuration/Summoning)

Level: 8
Range: 30 ft.
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

By means of this spell, the caster opens a rift in spacetime to a place far beyond the stars. After a moment, a Juggernaut Golem emerges from the rift. The golem stays for 1 turn and will obey the caster as long as it remains summoned. Due to the energy exerted in the summoning process, the caster must wait 1 turn between each use of this spell.

A rift should be handled with caution. When this spell is cast, there is a 2% chance to attract the attention of a balor, who will destroy the golem and exit the rift in its place, intent only on tearing the caster and <PRO_HISHER> companions apart piece by piece. A Protection From Evil spell will not make the fiend ignore the party.

Note: Icons are slightly different for each rune. They're not amazing looking, but at least helps to differentiate them. The description image is the same for all runes. I couldn't draw anything I liked, so I just used one of the already-made BAM images from BG2.

BG2: All obtainable in SoA portion. Also added to starting bags for some kits in ToB.
IWDEE/HoW: Spread throughout, in various dungeons and locations.

Ludwig_II · November 2022

Some of these kits look really cool, thank you for the mod. I want to try Starjammer

Dan_P · November 2022

This is a minor update

v1.1
- Added Cosmic Watcher Badge to BG2 and IWD main campaigns (they were already in the expansions). Both are very late game.
- Adjusted location of one of the other badges in BG2.

Dan_P · November 2022

This should hopefully be the last smaller update for a while.

v1.2
- One item in SoD was gained without charges. This is fixed.
- Revised the balor script (Riftgate enemy). It has more spell variety, but also doesn't use annoying spells like Death Spell or Remove Magic as often. It no longer starts with Protection From Magical Weapons, but it has a couple summons instead. The phase 2 and phase 3 buffs also happen earlier.
- Also made minor edits to the golem and gibberling scripts.

Dan_P · November 2022

Updated a few things:

v1.3/v1.4

Powder Keg: Fixed minor issue when installed after Rogue Rebalancing. The kit was starting with the RR song, though you could switch right away to Blasting Song. Now the kit starts with Blasting Song set as the Bard Song.
Added spell cap option to config.ini: This affects 2 spells, Electrocannon and Revitalizer (Starjammer kit). The cap can be set to level 20, 30, 40, or 50. Any other number will revert to the defaults (20 for BG games and 30 for IWDEE).
More edits to the Riftgate balor (both buffs and nerfs). If you're unprepared for it, best thing to do would be to run to a different map (it will search you out if on the same map). It's also vulnerable to Imprisonment, if you can get the spell off.
Added 2 items to the "Misc items" component: Stone Ring, Flynn's Ring
Golem Ring ability now says "Iron Flesh" by the portrait icon to differentiate from Stoneskin.
Might have made a few other minor adjustments.

Dan_P · November 2022

v1.5

Another minor update, but something I didn't want to leave unchanged:

Starjammer: Minimum stats changed to be different from Dragon Disciple

Will no longer have a minimum of 14 Dex, which didn't make sense combined with the -2 Dex penalty.

Dan_P · November 2022

This is a slightly bigger update, so I bumped it up to v2.0.

New additions

Added 6 multiclass variants:
- Beast Hunter (f/m)
- Beast Hunter (f/m/c)
- Warhound (f/m)
- Moonlight Knight (c/r)
- Crow Hunter (f/t)
- Crow Hunter (f/m/t)
These are installed together with the single classes. As with the single class, each kit can be enabled or disabled from the config.ini file.
Added 9 Caryll Runes to Misc items component. These are items with party-wide effects, inspired by the similarly named items from Bloodborne. See below for more details.

Fixes/Tweaks:

Blood Minister
- DoF sphere system: Added weapon restrictions (blunt, crossbows, small piercing weapons). These are implemented the same way as Raduziel's own kits (added directly to weapon files). This kit also wasn't getting "All" spheres up to 7th level. This is fixed.
- FnP sphere system: Will now gain higher level healing spells, in addition to previous spheres.
Frenzying Flame: Added audio while the spell is active
Craft Hunter Badge: Added info about using the ability when right-clicking the icon
Fixed WeiDU error when installing after FnP.
Fixed proficiencies for Paladin and Ranger kits when installed after FnP.
Updated ADD_KIT_EX to v0.5.1

Additional info (multiclass kits)

All kit abilities and restrictions also apply to the multiclass variants (i.e. Beast Hunter can't wear heavier than studded leather)
Mage multiclasses will receive -1 to spell slots at game start to remove the specialist bonus slot.
Warhound can grandmaster in ranged weapons.
Divine multiclasses are compatible with FnP or DoF spheres. (Minor issue noted below)
Crow Hunter multiclasses may start with the "Set Snares" ability (happens in HoW). These are removed on the next level up.

Minor issue (IWDEE) - DoF spheres + Starting a new game in Heart of Winter

Only noticed this with one kit, multiclass Moonlight Knight (C/R).
Level 1 spells may not be learned when starting a new game in HoW.
Happens if character is newly created (not pregenerated or imported).
Pregenerated characters will gain all spells properly.

Caryll Runes:

These are usable items with party-wide effects.
Can be used at will. These items function best gameplay-wise if the player can freely switch between them.
Characters don't need to be on the same map to be affected.
Only one rune may be in effect at a time. When a rune is used, it first removes other rune effects.

Note: Icons are slightly different for each rune. They're not amazing looking, but at least helps to differentiate them. The description image is the same for all runes. I couldn't draw anything I liked, so I just used one of the already-made BAM images from BG2.

Runes:

Clawmark
Blood Rapture
Oedon Writhe
Corruption
Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis
Clockwise Metamorphosis
Great Lake
Fading Lake
Beast's Embrace

Dan_P · December 2022

This is a fix/tweak update.

v2.1

Config.ini: Added proficiencies option for multiclass Clerics. If enabled, can place slots in all weapon types. This does not change usability by itself. This option is for use with tweaks that enable all weapons for Clerics. Note that this is automatically enabled if this mod is installed after Deities of Faerun or the Faiths and Powers usability component.
Rearranged order that kits are installed (Arcane kits moved to top).
Moonlight Knight (C/R): It was able to place slots in all weapon types by default, even though Cleric/Rangers are normally restricted to Cleric weapons. This is fixed.
Ether Booster: Bonus effect is applied immediately when Unleash Magic is used. The effect is applied every 3 seconds, but previously you had to wait 3 seconds for it to start.
Cruciform: Bonus effect is applied immediately when Bloodletter is used.
Hunter Badges: Bonus effects are applied immediately when Fire Weapon is used.

v2.2

BGEE:
- Status immunities should now block the correct display strings (they were only blocking the right strings in BG2). I went through abilities in each game to find the strings needed for each immunity. I still block a few "incorrect" strings in case some are used by other mods (they have the correct text, just not used by the game).
IWDEE:
- Healing Blood will cure poison now, rather than just slowing the damage. It was already working properly in the BG games. This mistake was made because I clone Slow Poison into a subspell, but forgot that it doesn't fully cure poison in IWD.
- Status immunities should now block the correct display strings.
Riftgate balor:
- No longer immune to critical hits.
- Summons Aerial Servants instead of a Fallen Planetar.
- Changed some of the scripted spells.
- Increased cooldown time for some script actions.
- Can now re-summon creatures indefinitely (on a timed delay).
Ether Booster (casting speed penalty):
- Made it so the kit abilities from this mod are not affected by casting speed penalties (non-spell abilities shouldn't be affected anyways). Exceptions are Denial, Moonlight Vortex, and Bolt of Glory.
- The Misc items component will also patch base game kit/NPC abilities and non-caster HLAs. Spell-like abilities, such as Shadowstep or Paladin abilities, are not patched.
Golem Ring (haste/slow immunity):
- In previous versions, simply equipping the ring would remove any haste or slow effects. At the same time, the Iron Flesh ability didn't give immunity to haste/slow, so you could cast it, then switch the ring out for a different one.
- I changed it so that equipping the ring won't remove any effects. It will just prevent future effects while equipped. Using Iron Flesh, however, will now remove any haste or slow effects, as well as make the character immune to both for the duration.
Beast's Embrace: Added effect to account for an EE Fixpack change.
Cruciform: Changed portrait icon to the standard "Regenerating" one used by other items/spells.
Blood Transfusions: Added additional portrait icons ("Protection From Poison", etc.).
Corruption rune: Will now show a "Regenerating" icon, but only when under 50% HP.
Some other minor adjustments.

Dan_P · December 2022

v2.5 update:

Added French translation, thanks to 11jo.

Also, I didn't make posts for them, but v2.3 was mainly revising spheres for the Faiths & Powers and Deities of Faerun mods. v2.4 was a few minor changes, just polishing some stuff up.

Dan_P · January 2023

Content-wise, this isn't a lot different from the last time I posted in this thread. However, there are a several important fixes and updates to various installer files. Also made a couple item adjustments.

- Grave Warden: Fixed potential usability issue on non-English installs of BG2EE.
- Improved the way mass patching of spells/items by certain kits is handled.
- A few other minor adjustments to install files.
Changes:
- Cosmic Watcher badge: Saving throw against the level drain is now made at a -2 penalty.
- SoD: Changed one of the item locations.
- Added a bag of holding, containing items from this mod (d2#hbag.ITM). Not obtainable from normal gameplay.

v2.6

Improved icons for Caryll runes. The differences should be easier to see.
Adjusted timings of a couple visual effects.
Cleaned up some of the abilities tables (no gameplay effect)
Some installer improvements.
Updated some of my old functions files.

Dan_P · February 2023

UPDATE: French translation updated + a few minor fixes

This was all stuff for the v3.0, but that's going to take longer, so I'm posting this now to get the release version up-to-date.

v2.8 update

What's new:

Added 2 Hunter Badges: Saw Hunter Badge and Old Hunter Badge.
Added 3 Caryll Runes: Hunter, Moon, and Milkweed.
Added Ether Limiter amulet (has bonus effect for Warhound kit).
Grave Warden: Can challenge Presio (IWDEE).

Fixes:

Revitalizer: Fixed visual/audio effects not showing if the target was higher level than the caster.

Changes:

Revised Jolt spell: Still raises dead, but also breaks curses and cures several status effects.
Changed a couple item locations to account for new items.
Calamity Ring: Added to expansion areas (SoD, ToB, HoW) if not already obtained.
Crowfeather Cloak: Added non-detection.
Cruciform: Will also give 2 bonus 2nd-level priest spell slots.

The top 2 posts have been updated with the current item/spell info.

Endarire · March 2023

I've been concerned that for a typical game, Monks have been weak and kitted Monks that lose their base features even more so. Monks front liners who can't wear most protective items (like a Kensai), they can't cast spells (Sor/Wiz), and can't use bows/crossbows (like a Fighter or Ranger). Stunning Fist and Fast Movement seem like their main selling points.

Maybe your testing has proven otherwise. If so, I'm interested.

Thankee!

Dan_P · March 2023

@Endarire

The way I balanced the Medic is, Black/White Remedy replace Stunning Blow, Slow Poison/Cure Disease replace Lay On Hands, and Healing Rain is countered by no gauntlets (so lower fist damage). Note that the Remedy abilities are not fist only. You can use them with weapons, including ranged. Both are also area effects that can apply multiple times.

If I get some feedback that the kit is underpowered (compared to unkitted monk), I'll consider rebalancing it, but I'm more likely to buff the healing abilities, rather than remove disadvantages. At the moment, I'm not planning any changes, though.

Dan_P · March 2023

Fix/polish for drifter and noble scion kits.
Fixed compatibility with FnP beta/0.85 versions.

Stalker Gauntlets: Crow Hunter, Crow Hunter FT, Crow Hunter FMT

Updated Compatibility info (with FnP mod):

FULL METAL JAGUAR: A highly capable and versatile warrior, the Full Metal Jaguar leads with a burst of projectiles before leaping in to strike down foes.

Advantages:
– +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
– Immune to backstab.
– 5th level: May use the Ghostwalker ability once per day. Gains additional uses every 5 levels thereafter.

GHOSTWALKER: This ability lasts 5 rounds. Once each round, 1 mirror image is created on the character, which can absorb one attack during that round. The number of images created increases to 2 per round at level 10, 3 per round at level 15, and 4 per round at level 20.

– 8th level: Gains the Critical Boost ability (passive)

CRITICAL BOOST: Ranged attacks boost melee critical chance. Each hit with a ranged weapon gives a cumulative +5% bonus for 3 rounds. A critical miss resets the bonus.

Nurse (Thief)

NURSE: A born specialist, the Nurse is an adept alchemist, as well as marksman, fit for sleuthing or academia.

MEDICAL DARTS: These darts will heal allies or deal poison damage to enemies. The amount of healing or damage is equal to 1d3 + 1 Hit Point per 3 levels, up to a maximum of 1d3 + 5. Medical Darts are treated as magical weapons with a +5 enchantment, and attacks are made with a +5 bonus. A character's proficiency with darts does not affect attack rolls.

– 11th level: May use the Injection Shot ability once per day. Gains additional uses at levels 15 and 19.

INJECTION SHOT: The next successful ranged attack forces the target to make a save vs. Death at -2 or become feebleminded. If the Saving Throw is made, the target is confused for 5 rounds.

Disadvantages:
– May only distribute 15 skill points per level among thieving skills.
– May not wear armor heavier than leather.

Disadvantages:
– May not specialize in ranged weapons.
– May not wear armor heavier than chain mail.

Dan_P · August 2023

Dan_P · February 21

Updated to v4.7.5.

This is a cumulative post for the last few updates (v4.7.1 - 4.7.5).

Github: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack
Download: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack/releases

--

Powder Keg changes:

Reduced delay between each use of a song from 10 rounds to 8 rounds.
Blasting Song: Main blast now delayed 1 second (damage unchanged). A new lead-in projectile does an extra 2 fire damage to enemies in a 12-ft. radius. It's visually more interesting now, and the initial projectile lets you know when the main blast is coming.
Booming Song: Damage increased from 2d4 to 3d8. Tweaked explosion visual/sound.
Dust Explosion: Damage of initial blast increased from 5d6 to 8d6. Creatures immune to blind no longer suffer reduced visual range. Enemies now move at half speed in the cloud.
Frenzying Flame: Damage per round increased from 2d4 to 2d12.

Medic changes:

at level 10, Slow Poison is now upgraded to Neutralize Poison.
at level 14, Cure Disease is now upgraded to Heal (essentially, the medic's version of "Lay on Hands").
at level 18, can now use Lesser Restoration 3 times per day (no fatigue).
All medic cures are touch range, applied instantly, have no vocal component, and are not considered spells for wild/dead magic.
The spells are otherwise identical to the existing priest spell at the time of install (i.e. in IWDEE, you can't cast Heal on an undead or elemental).
Adjusted visuals for all abilities + fixed color fade effect on White Remedy (was allowing a save).
Medic: Remedy abilities will no longer affect undead or golems. Healing Rain will still heal any creature, including in IWD (similar to Mist of Eldath).

IWD Evasion notes:

These abilities previously allowed Evasion, and no longer do: Shockwave, Moonlight Vortex, Booming Song.
These abilities can (still) be evaded: Incinerate, Electrocannon, Steady Current (secondary targets only), Blasting Song, Dust Explosion (initial blast only), Ether Explosion.
BGEE/BG2EE: If Evasion from IWDification or Talents of Faerun is installed before this mod, then the above abilities will also give a check for Evasion in the BGEE games. (components from ToF that just modify kit ability tables are fine to install before this mod)
All "Evades effects from..." messages should now say the name of the spell/ability being evaded.

--

Fixes/Maintenance:

Blood Minister: if using Spell Revisions, Madman's Blood no longer causes SR fatigue effects.
Fixed a mod conflict (with IWDEE Polymorph fixes mod) that would cause characters to learn Psionic Blast permanently, when using the Milkweed rune.
Aesthetic fix with Bubb's Spell Menu: The Denial and Moonlight Vortex abilities will now appear as level 1 spells in the special abilities menu (same as all other abilities from this mod).
Blood Minister: Right-clicking the Blood abilities in the submenu will now show the description for Blood Transfusion. Previously, only the main Blood Transfusion spell would show the description.
Golem Ring: Delayed sound effect on item ability was incorrectly set as undispellable.
Moonlight Knight: Fixed an inconsistency in the effects of Moonlight Vortex + added lighting effect on allies (only enemies take damage still).
IWDEE: Grave Warden's Skull Trap was giving Evasion check against the wrong spell resource.

Other updates:

New icon for Hunter Tools, recolored icons for Starjammer spells, changed icons for a few other abilities.
Switched some item locations around in BG2EE/IWDEE (main change is making Hunter Bone obtainable earlier).
Added more shaman bone blades in each game (higher quantities and/or obtainable in more locations).
IWDEE: Grave Warden's Denial ability will now follow IWD cleric rules for the healing effect. The main spell can still be cast on any creature. For creatures immune to healing spells in IWD, Denial will last the full 3 turns, unless dispelled or the creature is killed/unsummoned.
Shaman Bone Blade: Improved effects structure. Will now always play an audio/visual effect, even for immune creatures. Will now display a string that ability was used. Increased cast range from 1 to 3. Elves and half-elves that fail the save against charm, but make the racial check for charm resistance, will now avoid all effects, instead of being berserked.
Starjammer: Riftgate balor now has a screen shake effect if summoned. Other adjustments to golem and balor (faster movement, golem has stun on hit, etc.)
Temple Knight: Slightly reduced knockback strength of Force + added color fade to affected creatures. Stun duration increased internally (it's still roughly 4 seconds, but after the knockback ends).

SCS/ToF notes:

Fixed a few wrong ability icons when this mod was installed after SCS/ToF spell tweaks.
Fixed an issue with haste effects if this mod was installed after SCS/ToF spell tweaks. This affected the Moonlight Knight kit and the Hunter Bone item.
Milkweed (rune): Fixed an issue that would occur if this mod was installed before SCS/ToF spell tweaks. The CON/WIS drain wasn't being removed right away after battle (it wears off itself eventually).
I personally install this mod after SCS spell tweaks (I don't use ToF yet), but in case the opposite order is used, all items/abilities will probably work fine either way.

Dan_P · March 14

Updated to v4.7.8

This update includes a critical compatibility fix for EEex.

Github: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack
Download: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack/releases

--

Compatibility fix for EEex (v0.10.0-alpha and later):

Some kits had broken effects due to a change in recent EEex versions.
All kit abilities are fixed now. The affected kits were the ones with special amulet effects (i.e. Beast Hunter and hunter badges).
as a side effect: these item effects will now work even with custom multiclass kits.
To be clear, this mod does not require EEex (everything works with or without).

Crow Hunter updates:

Damage bonus vs. humans/humanoids now starts at +1, increases to +2 at level 5, and +3 at level 10. For multiclasses, it upgrades with thief level only (not average level of classes).
Multiclass variants will now gain Visceral attack at the correct levels (9, 13, and 18).
Visceral Attack is now more likely to roll in the upper range of the damage roll. This makes it a little better for mage/thief or single class.
Can now use any mod-added traps (i.e. Talents of Faerun HLAs), even if installed after this mod. Must be Thief level 14 or higher.
Bonus effect from the Crowfeather Cloak item will now work with custom multiclass kits.

Other:

Beast Hunter: Added an extra effect for the Old Hunter Badge amulet. When using Hunter Tools, the character will never roll a critical miss (with melee attacks).
Jade Feather: This now gives a +8 bonus to max HP (basically an extra roll of HP for monks). This replaces the +3 bonus to Save vs. Spell.

Kit/item changes:

Nurse: Major kit revision (see kit description). It's now based around a main ability called N-Alchemy. When N-Alchemy is used, it gives the character 3 "alchemy points" and a set of abilities to use. The old abilities are still there, but rebalanced for the N-Alchemy system.
Moonlight Knight: Revised/tweaked all kit abilities/passives (see kit description).
Noble Scion: adjusted Blood Bullet ability. The damage is now capped by the "spellcap" setting (config.ini). However, it now doubles the base kit bonus to ranged THAC0 (this is uncapped).
Crow Hunter: slightly adjusted Visceral Attack levels (now 9, 13, 17).
Temple Knight: Tweaked disadvantages. Bolt of Glory now gained at levels 9, 13, 17. Force now has reduced effects against larger sized creatures (stun 1 second).
Slightly expanded alignment options for thief/paladin kits.
Tweaked items: Milkweed (rune), Colorless Demon Soul

Technical updates:

Medical Darts (Nurse): The character will now stop attacking when all darts are used (if AI is on, will retarget to an enemy). Also, any effects that target "allies" or "enemies" are now relative to caster. Also fixed a bug that could cause the darts to be removed before the duration ended.
Haste effects will now fully remove Slow spells (and vice versa). Spells with multiple statuses (ex. Holy Word, Dolorous Decay) will not have the non-Slow statuses removed.
The Grave Warden's Denial ability can now be recast on a target that already has the effect. Previously, it would give a message that the "contingency" could not be recast.
The Crow Hunter's Splintering Shot no longer bleeds enemies with 100+ piercing resist (this doesn't apply to the bleed from Confessor kit or Clawmark rune).
Drifter: A few more spells added to the "ground" and "cloud" immunity packages. Anything added fits the general theme for each immunity type (ex. insect spells for cloud).

Other:

a few extra abilities are capped by the "spellcap" setting in config.ini (default 20 for BG games, 30 for IWDEE).
Added extra feedback messages (ex. Denial will say when it has activated and effects ended).
Changed a couple portrait icons. Adjusted colors of some icons/animations. Changed some sound effects.
Some pretty significant internal changes and improvements, on the installer side.

Compatibility notes:

EE fixpack: Madman's Blood (Blood Minister) should no longer cancel itself out immediately. Any abilities that cure statuses will now also apply any relevant EEFP subspells. Updated list of EEFP immunity spellstates (some were missing).
SR-Revised: fixed installer warnings when installed after SRR.
Faiths and Powers: improved compatibility with paladin archetypes. For best compatibility, install this mod after the paladin components (and preferably after applying the sphere system).
Deities of Faerun: Moonlight Knight CR now gains minor access to Healing sphere (replacing Weave).
Talents of Faerun (beta 12): Added custom sphere support for all divine casting kits. For multiclass variants, any edits to kit descriptions will no longer be added to the single class (and vice versa). See below for additional info.

Revised kits:

Nurse:

NURSE: A born specialist, the Nurse is an adept alchemist, as well as marksman, fit for sleuthing or academia.

Advantages:
– +1 bonus to ranged attack rolls every 3 levels.
– May Specialize (two slots) in shortbows, crossbows, slings, and darts.
– May use the N-Alchemy ability. Gains one use at level 1, one use at level 6, and an additional use every 6 levels thereafter.

N-ALCHEMY: Adds a set of medical tools as special abilities for up to 1 hour. Each requires 1 alchemy point, and the character is given 3 points to use. New abilities become available at higher levels:
1st level: Medical Darts
5th level: First Aid
9th level: Overdose
13th level: Injection Shot
17th level: Autoimmune

MEDICAL DARTS: Equips the character with 5 medical darts, which expire after 5 rounds. These darts will heal allies or deal poison damage to enemies. The amount of healing or damage is equal to 1d4+3, with an extra +1 every 5 levels. Medical Darts strike as +2 weapons with a +5 bonus to THAC0. Proficiency with darts does not affect attack rolls.

FIRST AID: Provide immediate medical care to any living creature. Restores 2 Hit Points per level, up to a maximum of 40 Hit Points.

OVERDOSE: For 5 rounds, the character gains an extra attack per round, +3 per level to all thieving skills, +10% critical hit chance with ranged attacks, and immunity to slow, maze, sleep, stun, and level drain. Overdose may not be used in conjunction with the Haste or Improved Haste spells.

INJECTION SHOT: The next successful ranged attack forces the target to make a save vs. Death at -2 or become feebleminded for 7 rounds. If the Saving Throw is made, the target is confused and slowed for 2 rounds.

AUTOIMMUNE: The recipient is automatically cured of the next instance of poison, disease, hold, paralysis, stun, sleep, blindness, deafness, charm, berserk, fear, confusion, or feeblemind. This ability lasts up to 3 turns.

Disadvantages:
– Only gains 15 thieving skill points per level.
– May not wear armor heavier than leather.

Moonlight Knight:

MOONLIGHT KNIGHT: A forlorn warrior, branded by the Moonscar, having dreamed a dream of endless moonlight. Partakes in pilgrimage to moonlit altars, seeking a revelation from things unseen.

Advantages:
– Moonscar: +1 bonus to all Saving Throws. The bonus becomes +2 at level 8 and +3 at level 16.
– 3rd level: Gains the Torrent ability (passive).

TORRENT: On a successful attack (melee or ranged), the character has a 10% chance to be hasted for 10 seconds, gaining an extra attack per round and doubled movement rate. At 8th level, attacks deal an extra 2 points of magic damage. At 16th level, Attacks Per Round is doubled. For the duration, the effects of Moonscar are also reversed.

– 7th level: May use the Moonlight Vortex ability once per day. Gains additional uses every 4 levels thereafter.

MOONLIGHT VORTEX: Unleashes a beam of torrential moonlight, which extends as far as the target point, inflicting 8d6 magic damage to enemies. Undead and outerplanar creatures take double damage from this spell. In addition, residual moonlight, left behind from the casting, grants the character a +20% bonus to Magic Resistance for 4 rounds.

– No alignment restrictions.
– Will not fall due to reputation loss.

Disadvantages:
– Moonscar: -1 penalty to AC vs. slashing, piercing, and missile. The penalty becomes -2 at level 8 and -3 at level 16.
– Only has half the normal skill in Hide In Shadows and Move Silently.

The rest is updated in the top posts.

Nurse - N-Alchemy info:

The N-Alchemy system just means that ability uses are tied together. So using 1 ability in the set will expend 1 use of all abilities. There aren't actually "alchemy points" (that's just a fancy name). The general idea is similar to subtledoctor's ki/ability points system, though this works different internally.

Also, this works seamlessly with the overlay mode of Bubb's Spell Menu. All numbers will always be updated correctly. The main N-Alchemy ability is in the "level 1" row with most other innates. The set of "nurse tool" abilities will be in the "level 3" row, which should normally have no other abilities.

--

Talents of Faerun - additional notes (beta 12):

If you notice bugs on a smaller install of ToF, try a bigger one. I noticed some bugs seem to only happen on smaller installs of ToF.
Note that while this mod has custom sphere support for ToF, FnP, and DoF sphere systems, this doesn't mean that those mods are compatible with each other (partially or at all).
Be careful with component: Require specialist mages to memorize one spell from their specialist school. On my test install of BG2EE, this prevented the Blood Minister (cleric) kit from using the final spell slot. Skipping this component fixes the issue.
ToF sometimes has some weird menu bugs. If you notice anything, should report on the ToF forum (it's unlikely to be specific to this mod). Sometimes, backing out of a screen, then going back in fixes it.
ToF automatically assigns feat/HLA options, based on class. I've taken a look at them, and everything in general looks fine. There's the occasional option that doesn't fit a kit, but just don't take those. Multiclass variants will have all options available for each of their classes. (NOTE: I didn't test with XP cap removed, so I don't know if Beast Hunter FMC has level 9 spell options).

NOTE: Install order is ultimately up to the player. That said, the recommended order is to install the spell components from ToF/SCS before Workshop Kitpack, and install everything else after. This is the order I used for testing with ToF.

Spheres notes:

Paladin, ranger, and multiclass kits worked flawlessly in all my test installs. There were some quirks to the install process (Beast Hunter FM/FMC had no spheres by default, etc.), but everything's figured out now.
The Blood Minister (cleric) kit, depending on install options, may or may not encounter bugged spheres. During character creation, the kit always has the correct spell choices, based on the sphere list. After starting the game, one of three things happens: (1) kit has all the correct spheres, (2) kit has default cleric spheres, (3) kit has correct spheres + any Druid spheres not in its sphere list. I don't know which component interactions caused issues.
The bug with resetting to default spheres only happened on a smaller install of ToF, but when I tried to recreate it in a separate install, it gave the correct spheres instead.
Sphere lists will appear in the kit description. Nature sphere only appears if it has spells in it. For Blood Minister, the list will always show the correct spheres, even if the in-game spheres are incorrect.

Sphere lists have been added to the sphere system post.

Dan_P · August 29

This is a cumulative update for the v5.x up to v5.7.

Summary:

major revision to the Medic monk kit
changes for Blood Minister and a few others
many smaller tweaks and technical updates
various compatibility fixes

--

Full update notes:

Fixes/Readme:

Powder Keg: All status effect strings will now be blocked by immunity to the status (some were but some weren't).
Nurse: Fixed minor issue with Overdose ability in IWDEE (was giving a movement bonus).
Added extra info to the Compatibility section for various things (ToF notes, Bard revisions, etc.).
Added extra info on some mod effects/abilities to the "Additional Info (Kit Abilities)" section.

Changes:

Medic: redesigned kit (see description). It's now based around a Ki Energy system. Ki Energy increases with level and regenerates +1 per 5 rounds. See below for additional notes.
Warhound: Shockwave's knockback effect will now only affect enemies. The damage still hits anyone. If you prefer knocking away allies, the change can be reversed in the Config.ini file.
Blood Minister: Adjusted effects of Healing Blood, Madman's Blood, and Lead Elixir.
Full Metal Jaguar: Critical Boost now gained at level 7. Backstab immunity gained at level 3.
Cosmic Watcher Badge: Adjusted equipped effects. Added visual feedback when target fails save.
Armor restrictions: Loosened restrictions for dragonscale armors. Kits with restrictions can now wear a full step up for dragon type armors (ex. if restricted to chain or splint, can wear plate-style dragon scales). Class restrictions will still apply. For BG2EE and IWDEE, this will catch mod items installed before this mod if they have "Scale Armor" (39544 in dialog.tlk) as the unidentified name.

Smaller Tweaks:

Starjammer: can now stop Riftgate summon from following party by itself (B key). This is also mentioned in the dialogue box when summoned.
Powder Keg: Song switching now usable while paused and ignores delay between spell casts. Visual adjustments. Song icons now have different colors (config option to use old blue icons).
Confessor: no longer gains paladin Cure Disease if detected before install. This will catch mods that add Cure Disease to BGEE/BG2EE, as long as installed the proper way (with spell.ids entry).
Grave Warden: Denial no longer dispellable. Still affected by wild/dead magic. Fear and gaze immunity now cover a few additional spells (ex. umber hulk gaze, IWD harpy wail).
War Magician: kit abilities no longer dispellable. Still affected by wild/dead magic.
Shaman Bone Blade: Elf/half-elf can now resist both charm and berserk from this item. Charmed creature will not become hostile if attacked or hit with an aoe. Also, the charm no longer makes neutral NPCs hostile after wearing off (changed to match berserk, which doesn't make hostile).
Bleed effects: now blocked by stoneskins and IWD Shield of Lathander (including similar mod spells). Damage from bleeding no longer wakes sleeping creatures.

Technical Updates:

removed portrait icons for permanent status immunities (can be reversed from config.ini pre-install)
Drifter: Items with on-hit entangle/grease effects are now patched directly (this will catch mod items installed before this mod).
Moonlight Knight: higher versions of Torrent now have different colored portrait icons.
ToB: changed starting bags for some kits if "misc items" component is installed. Also, kits from this mod won't start with armor they can't wear (assuming they meet the STR requirement).
More floating text. Changed some annoying sounds. Status effects more colorful (fade/pulse colors).
More colored strings. Strings are now colored with a custom function instead of directly in the TRA file.
more work done on various functions or prep files (cumulative work over all the v5.x).

Mod compat fixes/notes:

Rogue Rebalancing: fixed installer warnings when installed after rr HLA songs. Caused by a recent change that I forgot to apply to rr patching.
Shohy's bard song mod: Fixed various issues when installed after Shohy's mod. Powder Keg can take the HLA song and gains an ability to switch to it (note: does not gain "chorus" abilities).
Bardic Wonders: Fixed install issue with the Blade revision. Caused the Nurse kit's Overdose ability to not install correctly (it's made by cloning and editing Offensive Spin).
Improved Archer (argent77): archer kits (anything with +hit with ranged only) can now take Sure Shot or Missile Trap as HLAs. This mod must be installed after Improved Archer.
Artisan's Kitpack: fixed Moonlight Knight issue when installed after ranger revision (was gaining Set Snares, but couldn't use it due to having 0 Set Traps). Now gains the proper skill points from the revision.
IWDification: fixed minor issue with Powder Keg installed after IWDification (was gaining 2 HLA song abilities).
Talents of Faerun: Fixed possible installer warning if installed after class revisions section. Not recommending to install after, I just did it as an experiment. Most kits will probably work fine installed before or after (will account for class revisions either way). However, the divine casting kits need to be before the cleric revisions for custom spheres to work.
Bubb's Spell Menu: added installer options in config.ini. Can adjust the row/level that Medic and Nurse abilities appear in. By default, both will appear in row 3.

Medic - additional notes:

Ki Energy:

Current Ki Energy is displayed where it normally shows the number of uses for an ability. The number updates automatically each time Ki Energy changes.
Max Ki Energy increases every 2 levels (starting at level 1) and regenerates +1 every 5 rounds up to current max.
Ki Energy is reset to max amount after rest (technically every 8 hours, but timer is reset each time using an ability).
If Ki Energy is too low to use an ability, nothing bad will happen if you click on it. The ability just won't be used and no Ki Energy is spent. A feedback message, "Not enough Ki Energy!", will also display.
At 0 Ki Energy, no abilities will appear. They will reappear automatically at 1 Ki Energy or higher.
The kit also gains a "Medic Config" ability. This is used to turn on/off Ki Regen feedback (default ON). One of the options is also to remove the ability permanently.

Other info:

Ki Energy uses a custom method internally. It's been tested only with v2.6.6 of the EEs.
Decided to do a ki/mana system after testing out subtledoctor's semi_innate function and Gamemacik's mods (Sub-Zero NPC and Tome of Nature from Barbarian NPC). My version's not really similar to these, but I wouldn't have made my own points system without using these first.
For tracking Ki Energy, this kit uses stat 55 (TURNUNDEADLEVEL). Stat is blocked from being modified by other sources.

Bubb's spell menu note:

In Overlay mode, if Ki Energy number messes up, clicking the gear button in the top right corner, or clicking another character, should fix it. The actual Ki Energy amount is always correct, but the number shown in the overlay doesn't always get updated correctly. I don't know why it does this because it doesn't always happen.
No issues noticed in Modal mode or if disabling special abilities from the menu.

Dan_P · September 17

v5.8 update

Updated french translation + a few minor changes.

Github: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack
Download: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack/releases

--

Updated French translation from JohnBob.
Fixed issue where poison cures were also removing the assassin Poison Weapon buff.
Medic: Dragonrot damage should no longer cause frozen death (or at least super low chance). Damage is now split between cold and acid, instead of all cold. (note: this ignores damage resistance, cold is used because I like the visual/sound)
Blood Minister: Lead Elixir now increments resists, instead of setting them.
Powder Keg: Fire resist now starts at 10% and scales with level up to 50%.
Compat update (Talents of Faerun): For IWDEE, all healing spells from this mod can now heal any of the new PC races added by ToF. Restrictions for other races may still apply (depends on spell). These restrictions should normally only apply to summons.
Changes to BAM images for item descriptions. Should look better with UI overhaul mods (ex. Infinity UI++).

Dan_P · October 28

v5.9 update

This is a smaller update. Mainly wanted to get out the display fix for Bubb's menu (for Medic kit).

Github: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack
Download: https://github.com/D2-mods/The-Workshop-Kitpack/releases

--

Fixes:

Bubb's Spell Menu note: Fixed display issues in Overlay mode with Ki Energy (Medic kit). It should now always display the correct amount of Ki Energy after using an ability. (This was just a display issue. The actual Ki Energy amount was always correct.)
Multiclass kits should no longer randomly regain all daily uses of abilities. This only happened rarely. It was a side effect of a workaround for a possible export/import issue (still implemented, but improved effects structure).
Fixed patching issue when installed after EE Fixpack (only affected Medic's Spiritual Clarity).

Changes:

Starjammer: Now briefly invisible when using Riftstep (cancels spells against, unless caster sees through invisibility).
Powder Keg songs will now break invisibility. If Improved Invisible, will still keep the other effects. Previously you could just stand around invisible until enemies were dead, unless they could see through invisibility.
Moonlight Knight: Moonlight Vortex has a bigger beam visual and hits in a wider area (kind of). The actual beam itself is still a narrow line, but it does some stuff to approximate a wider area.
Warhound explosions and Powder Keg's fiery explosions now dispel effects of webs, grease, and entangle on allies in the area (even if they don't take damage). Also protected for 5 seconds (enough time to leave the area). A couple kit abilities may do something similar.
Other minor changes (sound effects, BAM images, text colors, etc.).
