Expanded Classes and Kits (massive kit compilation mod)

edited June 2023 in General Modding
This mod is a compilation of all of my previous kit and class mods, from the Alchemist kit for mages to the previously-unreleased Vampyre kit for thieves. This includes 9 cross-class kits such as the Assassin kit for monks, 6 new multiclasses such as the Cleric/Druid/Mage, and many other unique kits such as the War Hulk, Sword Dancer, and Red Soul. The cross-class kits and multiclasses are modeled to be as close to the original game as possible (your Kensai Paladin and Cleric/Druid should work just like how you'd expect them to), but the unique kits can range from modest changes to really weird powers: while the Green Soul simply gets longer-lasting spells at the cost of weaker damage spells, the Seducer kit can charm any creature (even undead and bosses) and make enemies into party members; the Plasma Wizard can fire infinite Lightning Bolts without casting spells; and the Sword Dancer can make up to 30 attacks per round. All of the crazy powers are balanced with meaningful drawbacks. Immense kudos to @Gwendolyne, @kjeron, @subtledoctor, @Raduziel, @Demivrgvs, @DavidW, and everyone else who helped make this compilation possible.

As of v1.21, this mod should include a component to remove racial restrictions from classes, as well as some bugfixes by Dan_P.

Since this mod contains so many different kits, the full descriptions are a lot to parse. The descriptions are below, but here is a brief rundown of what this mod contains:
Fighter Kits:

-War Hulk (has sky-high HP and damage per hit but only attacks once per round)
-Archer
-Shapeshifter (buffed-up version of the Shapeshifter druid)
-Psionicist (simplified psionics system; uses per-day abilities based on vanilla spells)
-Sword Dancer (triple attacks per round but low damage per hit; can make more than 10 attacks per round even without Improved Haste)

Paladin Kits:

-Archer
-Kensai

Monk Kits:

-Kensai (trades unarmed damage output for specialization in weapons)
-Stalker (minor backstabs, lower attacks per round)
-Assassin (crazy backstabs, even fewer attacks per round)

-Flare Dancer (triple attacks per round but low damage per hit; deals fire damage on hit and has fire spells)
-Sky Dancer (triple attacks per round but low damage per hit; can teleport and has lightning spells)
-Fighter/Monk (monk with equal skill with weapons and fists)

Mage Kits:

-Alchemist (weak spellcaster that can craft unique items at the cost of gold)
-Red Soul (extra spell damage, lower spell duration)
-Green Soul (longer spell duration, less spell damage)
-Plasma Wizard (weak spellcaster that can fire infinite Lightning Bolts and other spells as ranged attacks)
-War Mage (can use weapons and armor but has weaker spellcasting)

Cleric Kits:

-Cleric/Druid
-Seer (trades spell slots for combat bonuses and special divination spells)

    Vampyre Thief
    VAMPYRE: Also known as vrylokas, vampyres are alpha predators, hunters who fill the same ecological niche as tigers or wolves--only their prey are humanoid races. Vampyres exist on the blood of their victims.

    - +15% bonus to Hide in Shadows and Move Silently.
    - Immune to level drain.

For every 5 levels of the Vampyre, the damage dice increases: 1d6 at level 5, 1d8 at level 10, 1d10 at level 15, and 1d12 at level 20.

    – Only gains 10 skill points per level (20 at level 1).
    – May not dual-class.
    Sword Dancer Fighter
    Part magician and part artist, a Sword Dancer is a warrior who uses telekinetic powers to influence their movements in combat. A Sword Dancer's powers come less from muscle and more from magic, allowing them to strike more often at the expense of reducing the force of each blow. Sword Dancers rely on the speed of their weapons to disrupt and disable their opponents, and prefer to use lighter and quicker weapons, which are easier to move using telekinesis.

    CLASS FEATURES:

    - Can only attain Specialization (two points) in longswords, clubs, spears, and darts
    - Can only attain Proficiency (one point) in axes, bastard swords, two-handed swords, war hammers, halberds, flails, maces, and shortbows
    - May not place any proficiency points in crossbows, longbows, or slings
    - Cannot wear armor heavier than studded leather

    - Hit Die: d8
    Flare Dancer Monk
    Part magician and part artist, a Flare Dancer is a monk who uses telekinetic powers to influence their movements in combat. A Flare Dancer's powers come less from muscle and more from magic, allowing them to strike more often at the expense of reducing the force of each blow. Flare Dancers rely on the speed of their fists to disrupt and disable their opponents.

    CLASS FEATURES:

    Advantages:

    - Makes two additional attack rolls with each attack.
    - Whenever the Flare Dancer strikes a target with their bare fists, the victim must make a save vs. spell or be stunned for 1 second, as well as a -1 penalty to casting speed for 2 seconds and a -1 penalty to speed factor for a full round.
    - Deals an extra 1 fire damage with every unarmed strike.
    - May cast Flame Blade once per day every 4 levels.
    - May cast Agannazar's Scorcher once per day every 5 levels.
    - May cast Melf's Minute Meteors once per day every 8 levels.

    - Hit Die: d8
    Sky Dancer Monk

    - Makes two additional attack rolls with each attack.
    - Whenever the Sky Dancer strikes a target with their bare fists, the victim must make a save vs. spell or be stunned for 1 second, as well as a -1 penalty to casting speed for 2 seconds and a -1 penalty to speed factor for a full round.
    - May cast Windwalk once per day at level 1, with another casting every 5 levels after.
    - May cast Lightning Bolt once per day at level 5, with another casting every 4 levels after.
    - May cast Chain Lightning once per day for every 7 levels of the caster.
    - 5% electricity resistance per level.

    WINDWALK: The Sky Dancer calls upon the force of the wind to transport them to another location, instantly teleporting them to any spot within range.

    Disadvantages:

    - All physical damage is reduced to 1/5 of its normal value (all weapons deal 80% less damage per hit).
    - May not use Stunning Blow or Quivering Palm.

    Full kit descriptions, part 2:
    Seducer Thief (there is a LOT of detail to this kit)
    A Seducer is a thief who acts through persuasion rather than sleight of hand. Socially cunning and politically astute, they develop an ability to forge close relationships with the wealthy, powerful, or merely useful, and navigate complex social orders with speed and grace. Some may use their talents to influence people for the better, propping up and guiding the wise and honest, or exposing and ostracizing the corrupt and the selfish. Others use their talents for personal gain, exploiting their allies' weaknesses, and destroying their opponents with whatever means they can.

    Despite the name, a Seducer's abilities are more complex than attractiveness or charm. A Seducer uses psionic abilities and arcane magic as well as physical appeal to influence others, and can gain control over potentially any creature with a semi-conscious mind--even those of a different orientation, species, or plane of existence, as well as sexless creatures, constructs, and the undead. No mind is truly safe from a Seducer's grasp; only sheer will and mental fortitude can block the Seducer's influence.

    CLASS FEATURES:

    - May cast Charm at will
    - May cast Domination at will
    - May cast Seduction at will
    - May cast Recruit Follower at will
    - May cast Dispel Charm at will
    - +1 Charisma
    - Immunity to charm and domination
    - +1 to save vs. spell at level 1 and every 5 levels after
    - +1 AC vs. melee weapons at level 1 and every 6 levels after

    - Only gains 15 skill points per level (30 at level 1)
    - Cannot detect traps or set traps
    - Backstab does not progress beyond 2x
    - Only gains 1d4 hit points per level
    - May not wear any armor
    - Does not gain Use Any Item or most thief HLAs


    DOMINATION: The Seducer may attempt to take control over any creature within 30 feet for 1d3 rounds, infiltrating their mind and probing their thoughts and desires. If the target fails its save vs. spell at +4, the Seducer will wriggle their way into the subject's mind and take over after half a round. As the Seducer grows more experienced, their charms become more effective:

    Level 1: +4 to saving throw
    Level 2: +3 to saving throw
    Level 3: +2 to saving throw
    Level 5: +1 to saving throw
    Level 7: +0 to saving throw
    Level 9: -1 to saving throw
    Level 12: -2 to saving throw
    Level 15: -3 to saving throw
    Level 18: -4 to saving throw
    Level 22: -5 to saving throw
    Level 26: -6 to saving throw
    Level 30: -7 to saving throw
    Level 35: -8 to saving throw
    Level 40: -9 to saving throw
    Level 45: -10 to saving throw

    Domination is not limited by the Seducer's line of sight; he or she can target creatures who are invisible or behind a corner. Domination bypasses spell protections, magic resistance, and immunity to charm effects, but non-humanoid targets are more resistant to the Seducer's charms and make their saving throws at a bonus:

    Intelligent and familiar creatures such as animals and yuan-ti:
    +1 to saving throw
    Unintelligent and unnatural creatures such as undead, trolls, and giants:
    +2 to saving throw
    Alien and extraplanar creatures such as beholders, elementals, and demons:
    +3 to saving throw

    Creatures who already charmed, however, suffer a -3 penalty to their saving throw.

    The intense concentration involved in charming other creatures leaves the Seducer vulnerable. For 1 round after using Domination, the Seducer cannot attack and suffers -3 penalty to AC and -25% movement rate.

    CHARM: Rather than focus their attention on a single target, a Seducer may attempt to charm multiple creatures at once. At level 1, a Seducer's Charm can affect two creatures at once; every 10 levels, the Seducer may charm another creature in the same round. Like Domination, Charm improves as the Seducer gains experience, but dividing the Seducer's attention makes the effect easier to resist:

    Level 1: +7 to saving throw
    Level 2: +6 to saving throw
    Level 4: +5 to saving throw
    Level 6: +4 to saving throw
    Level 9: +3 to saving throw
    Level 12: +2 to saving throw
    Level 16: +1 to saving throw
    Level 20: +0 to saving throw
    Level 25: -1 to saving throw
    Level 30: -2 to saving throw
    Level 36: -3 to saving throw
    Level 42: -4 to saving throw
    Level 49: -5 to saving throw

    As with Domination, Charm bypasses normal immunities, offers bonuses to alien minds (such as animals and extraplanar creatures), and imposes -3 penalty to AC and -25% movement rate on the Seducer for 1 round.


    SEDUCTION: With time and great effort, a Seducer may take total control over a single creature. This ability cannot be used in the thick of combat; the Seducer must have a peaceful and safe environment to ensure the subject feels comfortable. The subject must also be under the effects of Charm or Domination in order for Seduction to be successful. Finally, the subject must have some senses or desires in order to be affected; golems and constructs are immune.

    If the subject fails a save vs. spell at no penalty, the Seducer may coax it into joining the Seducer's party. The subject will obey any order and follow the party wherever it goes until it is dismissed from the group. The Seducer can take control of creatures up to half of his or her level.

    (Seduction can have unintended effects if used on quest-related creatures, especially if a plot-critical creature is dismissed from the party for good. Some plot-relevant creatures, but not all, are immune by default.)

    Most non-humanoid creatures (monsters, undead, elementals, and so forth) do not possess a standard character class. These creatures will be given the fighter class upon joining the party, allowing them to gain levels at the cost of a 50% XP penalty.


    RECRUIT FOLLOWER: A Seducer of outstanding charisma may gather followers on his or her travels, whether by inspiring the righteous with a call to action, tempting the selfish with personal profit, or simply winning allies through sheer force of personal magnetism. This ability allows the Seducer to persuade the target to follow the Seducer's party wherever they may go, and is treated as the Seducer's familiar. Unlike Seduction, the target does not join the party, and therefore cannot gain levels, cannot be raised from the dead, and the Seducer cannot access its inventory or spellbook. However, there is no limit to how many followers a Seducer may possess (provided that he or she is able to keep all of them alive).

    This ability cannot be used in the thick of combat, but unlike Seduction, the subject need not be charmed beforehand. The subject must have some senses or desires in order to be affected; golems and constructs are immune.

    If the subject fails a save vs. spell at no penalty, the Seducer may coax it into following the Seducer's party until its dying breath. The Seducer can take control of creatures up to half of his or her level.

    (Recruit Follower can have unintended effects if used on quest-related creatures. Some plot-relevant creatures, but not all, are immune by default.)


    DISPEL CHARM: By delving into a charmed creature's mind, the Seducer can isolate and remove the charm's effects, whether the charm is magical, mundane, or psionic. This ability will dispel any charm effect from the target creature if he or she makes a save vs. spell at +5.


    BETRAYAL: If the Seducer backstabs an opponent while it is under the effects of Charm or Domination, the Seducer may attempt to land a fatal blow while the target's guard is down. If the victim fails its save vs. death at -2, the Seducer will kill it instantly, using whatever weak point the Seducer can divine from its thoughts. Every 4 levels after level 1, victims of Betrayal must make their save at an additional -1 penalty, up to -7 at level 21. If the victim makes its save, the effects of Charm and Domination are broken and the Seducer cannot charm the target for another 5 rounds. Targets who resist the instant death effect will still suffer 2d6 damage, plus an additional 2d6 damage every 4 levels after level 1.

    DUAL-CLASS REQUIREMENTS: 13 Intelligence, 15 Wisdom, 17 Charisma

    – Hit Die: d4
    Alchemist Mage
    Alchemists are Transmuters who dedicate their lives to the study of chemistry and potionmaking. Some use their talents to sell potions and tonics, some turn their skills to adventuring, and others are motivated solely by the pursuit of truth. Alchemists are always searching for new ingredients to fuel their businesses and laboratories, and when the local economy falls short of their expectations, the Alchemist must set out on foot. Alchemists excel at making valuable brews and dangerous explosives out of whatever ingredients they can cobble together.

    CLASS FEATURES:

    Alchemical Genius:
    - Can create potions and grenades at any time outside combat. Alchemists get additional benefits from their own potions.
    - Can use Poison Weapon once per day at level 1. Gains an additional use of Poison Weapon every 4 levels after.

    Alchemical Resilience:
    - Immunity to poison
    - 10% acid resistance per level
    - 5% fire resistance per level
    - Gains 1d6 hit points per level
    - +1 to save vs. death and polymorph every 3 levels

    Specialization:
    - Can memorize 1 fewer spell per spell level compared to a generalist mage (an Alchemist cannot cast spells until level 2)
    - -1 penalty to casting time
    - -2 penalty to caster level
    - Cannot gain most normal mage High-Level Abilities

    CONCOCTIONS: Given the right ingredients, an Alchemist can concoct any manner of potions and brews. The process is similar to purchasing goods at a store, but the Alchemist can manage ingredients much more efficiently, making his or her concoctions much less expensive than a conventional apothecary's.

    More experienced Alchemists can brew a broader variety of potions and manufacture stronger explosives. There is no limit on how many potions and grenades an Alchemist can create, provided he or she has the resources to make them.

    POISON WEAPON: The same skills the Alchemist uses to create potions to soothe pain can also be used to inflict it. The Alchemist can apply a thin coating of poison to a weapon, directly injecting the toxin into the victim's bloodstream. Multiple strikes can further poison the target, but only one dose of poison can be applied to the weapon. Alchemists can develop deadlier poisons as they become more experienced.

    For the next 2 rounds after using this ability, any creature the Alchemist attacks must make a saving throw or suffer poison damage for the next 5 rounds. The effects stack and vary based on level:

    Level 1: 1d2 poison damage, plus 1 damage per round on a failed save vs. death at +4.
    Level 4: 1d3 poison damage, plus 2 damage per round on a failed save vs. death at +3.
    Level 7: 1d4 poison damage, plus 3 damage per round on a failed save vs. death at +2.
    Level 10: 1d6 poison damage, plus 4 damage per round on a failed save vs. death at +1.
    Level 13: 1d8 poison damage, plus 5 damage per round on a failed save vs. death.
    Level 16: 1d10 poison damage, plus 6 damage per round on a failed save vs. death at -1.
    Level 19: 1d12 poison damage, plus 6 damage per round on a failed save vs. death at -2.

    The poison cannot be applied to a grenade.

    High-Level Abilities:
    - Use Any Item
    - Regeneration
    - Resist Magic
    - Purity of Body
    - Business Connections
    - Extra Level 6 Spell
    - Extra Level 7 Spell

    Full kit descriptions, part 3:
    Red Soul Mage and Red Soul Sorcerer
    Deeply passionate but with little control of their own emotions, a Red Soul is a mage who channels his or her feelings and desires into their spellcasting. Their emotions add power to damaging spells, but also render them highly unstable.

    CLASS FEATURES:

    50% bonus to fire, cold, electricity, acid, poison, and magical damage.
    All arcane spells have one-half their normal duration
    +1 bonus to Charisma
    -1 penalty to Wisdom
    Cannot be of lawful alignment
    Green Soul Mage and Green Soul Sorcerer
    A Green Soul is a mage who channels his or her life force into their spellcasting. A Green Soul must maintain tight control of his or her body and live a consistent and healthy lifestyle in order to maintain the stability of their magic. Tapping into one's own life force is dangerous, however, and Green Souls must hold back when attempting to use damaging magic, lest they harm themselves in the process.

    CLASS FEATURES:

    - 50% bonus to the duration of all arcane spells
    - All mage spells deal half their normal damage
    - May cast one extra spell per spell level
    - +1 bonus to Constitution
    - -1 penalty to Dexterity
    - Cannot be of chaotic alignment
    War Hulk Fighter
    WAR HULK: A War Hulk is an undisciplined, wild, and savage fighter. While most warriors develop their skills in the martial arts, the War Hulk only seeks raw strength. The War Hulk eschews strategy and tactics, preferring to concentrate all of his or her energy into a single massive blow.

    CLASS FEATURES:

    - May only land a single hit per round, regardless of level, weapon choice, or magical enchantments (attacks per round is set to 0 for 4 seconds on each hit)
    - May not use missile weapons
    - May place 3 proficiency points (Mastery) in two-handed swords and halberds
    - May place 2 proficiency points (Specialization) in bastard swords, longswords, katanas, scimitars, axes, war hammers, spears, flails, maces, quarterstaffs, Two-Handed Weapon Style, and Single Weapon Style
    - May place 1 proficiency point (Proficiency) in short swords, daggers, and clubs

    SAVAGE BLOW: Although the War Hulk may only land a single strike per round, each attack has incredible force behind it. The War Hulk gains +1 Strength every level from level 1 to 5, and +1 to hit and +5% melee damage every level thereafter, along with additional bonuses every other level:

    Level 1, 3, 5, 7: +1 to hit and +5% melee damage
    Level 9, 11, 13, 15: +2 to hit and +10% melee damage
    Level 17, 19, 21, 23: +3 to hit and +15% melee damage
    Level 25, 27, 29, 31: +4 to hit and +20% melee damage
    Level 33, 35, 37, 39: +5 to hit and +25% melee damage

    CRITICAL STRIKE: Whenever the War Hulk lands a hit, the target has a 20% chance of being stunned for 6 seconds and pushed back on a failed save vs. death at -3.

    RAGE: War Hulks channel their rage into their strikes, using pain and fury to add force to each blow. War Hulks strike harder when they are wounded, but the rage weakens their minds and causes them to lower their defenses. Whenever the War Hulk suffers damage, he or she gains a set of combat bonuses and penalties:
    +15% melee damage
    +1 THAC0
    +1 save vs. death
    +1 movement rate
    Immunity to fear
    -1 AC
    -1 save vs. spell
    All effects are cumulative and last 2 rounds. In addition, the War Hulk has a 25% chance of going berserk on a failed save vs. spell, gaining double the above bonuses and penalties for 1 round.

    UNSTOPPABLE: Highly experienced or enraged War Hulks may overcome any obstacle in their path, whether magical or physical. Whenever the War Hulk is knocked unconscious or immobilized, he or she may attempt a save vs. death at -15. If successful, the War Hulk can shrug off the effects of sleep, hold, paralysis, or stun.

    Seer Druid
    SEER: A seer is a person gifted with a rare form of extrasensory perception. Every seer's powers are unique: some can feel the heartbeat and see through the eyes of distant beings; some hear voices from long-forgotten ages; some witness prophecies years or even centuries into the future; some can see the world around them shifting forwards and backwards in time; and some become so lost in their visions that they become blind to the distinction between themselves and other beings, and experience reality directly from the minds of others. Whether their powers are inherited from distant ancestors or just the fluke of divine circumstance, seers are fountains of information and memory, and are often sought out for their predictions and their guidance.

    Advantages:

    - Gains +3 Lore per level.
    - Immunity to blindness and hostile illusion spells.
    - Can detect and target invisible creatures with spells.
    - Supernatural Insight: As the Seer learns to control <PRO_HISHER> sight, <PRO_HESHE> may use <PRO_HISHER> extrasensory perception to aid <PRO_HESHE> in combat. The Seer's abilities grow as <PRO_HESHE> gains levels.

    Level 1: +1 to AC and THAC0. Gains an additional +1 to AC and THAC0 for every 2 levels after 1st. May cast Identify as an innate ability once per day.
    Level 2: +1 to saving throws. Gains an additional +1 to saving throws for every 3 levels after 2nd.

For one round per level (up to a maximum of 20 rounds), the targeted creature will gain half of the Seer's insight bonuses, rounded up.

    DISSOCIATION: The Seer may reach into the minds of other beings and see through their eyes as if they were <PRO_HISHER> own. For 10 rounds, the caster can see everything within the visual range of all creatures currently on the map.

    SHARE MASS INSIGHT: Through close bonding with <PRO_HISHER> community, the Seer may communicate telepathically with <PRO_HISHER> allies and share a portion of <PRO_HISHER> insight with them. For one round per three levels (up to a maximum of 6 rounds at level 18), all allied creatures nearby will gain half of the Seer's insight bonuses, rounded up.

    FORESIGHT: With great concentration, the Seer may close off <PRO_HISHER> mind to all distractions and focus <PRO_HISHER> insight on the immediate future. For one round per four levels (up to a maximum of 5 rounds at level 20), all of the Seer's insight bonuses are doubled.

    CALL SEER'S VOICE: The Seer turns <PRO_HISHER> sight inward and gazes into the source of <PRO_HISHER> powers. When the Seer uses this ability, <PRO_HESHE> brings a pale shadow of the source into being, creating a near-exact replica of the Seer at 60% of <PRO_HISHER> level and with 60% of the Seer's hit points. The entity is immune to mind-affecting magic and instant death effects, but is otherwise identical to the caster, though it cannot use the Seer's innate abilities. The ghost will last for 10 rounds or until it is destroyed.

    Disadvantages:

    - May cast one fewer spell per day per spell level than other priests.
    - Immune to invisibility and other beneficial illusion spells.
    - May not wear armor, helmets, or shields.
    - Cannot shapeshift.
    - May not dual-class.
    - Alignment restricted to neutral good, lawful neutral, true neutral, chaotic neutral, and neutral evil.

    High Level Abilities:
    Critical Strike
    Use Any Item (does not allow the use of armor)
    Evasion
    Greater Evasion
    Alchemy
    Scribe Scrolls

    - Hit Die: d6
    Seer Cleric
    SEER: A seer is a person gifted with a rare form of extrasensory perception. Every seer's powers are unique: some can feel the heartbeat and see through the eyes of distant beings; some hear voices from long-forgotten ages; some witness prophecies years or even centuries into the future; some can see the world around them shifting forwards and backwards in time; and some become so lost in their visions that they become blind to the distinction between themselves and other beings, and experience reality directly from the minds of others. Whether their powers are inherited from distant ancestors or just the fluke of divine circumstance, seers are fountains of information and memory, and are often sought out for their predictions and their guidance.

    Advantages:

    - Gains +3 Lore per level.
    - Immunity to blindness and hostile illusion spells.
    - Can detect and target invisible creatures with spells.
    - Supernatural Insight: As the Seer learns to control <PRO_HISHER> sight, <PRO_HESHE> may use <PRO_HISHER> extrasensory perception to aid <PRO_HESHE> in combat. The Seer's abilities grow as <PRO_HESHE> gains levels.

    Level 1: +1 to AC and THAC0. Gains an additional +1 to AC and THAC0 for every 2 levels after 1st. May cast Identify as an innate ability once per day.
    Level 2: +1 to saving throws. Gains an additional +1 to saving throws for every 3 levels after 2nd.
    Level 3: +1 to critical hit rolls. Gains an additional +1 to critical hit rolls for every 4 levels after 3rd. May cast Share Insight once per day.
    Level 4: +1 to luck. Gains an additional +1 to luck for every 5 levels after 4th.
    Level 5: May cast Dissociation once per day.
    Level 7: May cast True Seeing once per day.
    Level 9: May cast Secret Word once per day.
    Level 11: May cast Share Mass Insight once per day.
    Level 13: May cast Foresight once per day.
    Level 14: May cast Call Seer's Voice once per day.

    SHARE INSIGHT: Through close bonding with <PRO_HISHER> allies, the Seer may communicate telepathically with a single creature and share a portion of <PRO_HISHER> insight with them. For one round per level (up to a maximum of 20 rounds), the targeted creature will gain half of the Seer's insight bonuses, rounded up.

    - Hit Die: d6
    War Mage
    WAR MAGE: The military applications of arcane magic are well-known, and some mages choose to forgo a traditional education in favor of learning on the battlefield. Ruthlessly practical and uninterested in the more theoretical aspects of magic, a war mage will march into battle alongside other soldiers, clad in full armor and commanding powerful energies to assail their foes.

    Class Features:

    - May cast an additional spell per spell level.
    - May wear any armor and use any weapon.
    - May attain Proficiency (one point) in any weapon or weapon style.
    - Gains +1 to hit rolls every 2 levels.
    - Immunity to spell failure and effects that prevent spellcasting (spells can still be disrupted by taking damage).

    - May not learn any spells from the Enchantment or Illusion schools.
    - -3 penalty to casting time.
    - Mage spells have 25% shorter duration.

    High-Level Abilities: Spirit of Flame, Aegis of Rime, Scion of Storms, Voice of Entropy, Whirlwind Attack, Hardiness, Power Attack, Deathblow, Energy Blades, Dragon's Breath, Comet

    - Hit Die: d8
    Sniper
    SNIPER: Where other assassins will use a powerful poison or a dagger in the back to kill their targets, a Sniper will strike from afar, keeping a safe distance to avoid detection. A Sniper is ill-suited for close combat, but by picking out the perfect spot to strike, a clever Sniper can slay their target without putting themselves in harm's way.

    Advantages:
    - Deals +50% bonus damage when attacking with ranged weapons if the Sniper has been invisible for at least 1 second before attacking. Increases by an additional +50% at levels 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16 for a maximum of +300% (i.e., four times the base damage).
    - Gets +1 to hit and damage rolls with ranged weapons. Gets an additional +1 every 5 levels, to a maximum of +5 at level 20.
    - Ranged attacks get a +1 to critical hit rolls at levels 3, 9, and 18.
    - May cast Dimension Door once per day at level 8. Gains an additional casting at level 16.
    - At level 19, invisibility also grants the Sniper +2 to critical hit rolls.
    - At level 22, the Sniper's critical hits cast Dispel Magic on the target on a failed save vs. spell.
    - May achieve Mastery (3 slots) in shortbows and crossbows.
    - May achieve Specialization (2 slots) in slings and darts.

    Disadvantages:
    - Cannot backstab.
    - Cannot set traps.
    - Only gains 15 skill points per level (30 at level 1).
    - Only gains 1d4 Hit Points per level.

    High-Level Abilities:
    - Blink
    - Pierce Armor
    - Power Attack
    - Use Any Item
    - From the Shadows
    - Through the Heart
    - Anti-Magic Strike
    - Astral Shot
    - Pinpoint Accuracy

    Somehow I missed this. I know I asked in the last thread, but since some time has passed, would you be willing to implement a Fighter/Druid?Thief? The quintuple class is interesting, but I've always wished I could implement an approximation of the first edition bard in BG. Who was basically a fighter/theif/druid.

    @semiticgod F/C/D/M/T kit fails to install:

    ERROR locating resource for 'COPY'
    [SPPR731.spl] not found in KEY file
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    @ThacoBell: I uploaded an update that should fix the issue. The problem was that my code assumed that certain level 7 spells existed in a BG1+SoD install, and apparently some installs don't have them. I added some lines to let WeiDU skip those patches if the file doesn't exist.

    Messing around with the shapeshifter thief, the beholder ability turns into a golem. young green dragon has no character sprite, just the selection circle.

    One more thing while playing around, shapeshifter and plasma wizard were never able to pick HLAs (consoled to lvl 24)

    Would love to have this in IWDEE. Is this compatible with IWDEE?

    @Illustair: I believe it's compatible. Let me know if you run into an issue.

    Updated! I fixed a bug or two, removed the Stone Dancer and Water Dancer kits, and made the Flare Dancer and Sky Dancer kits more unique and interesting.

    Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question - are these kits ok to install on BG:EE/SOD?

    I ask because it seemed to work perfectly on BG2:EE but when I attempted to install on BG:EE the kit names are all broken e.g. "Elements Fury +2", "Fishbone", "Damn it, ! these are serious matters."

    Have I done something wrong? These was a fresh install of BG:EE and this is the only mod I've installed.
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    @ashkyn: They should be compatible. Have you installed ModMerge?

    Thanks, that worked! Sorry -- I didn't know about modmerge.

    Loving the kits by the way, thanks for sharing your work.

    @semiticgoddess It's me again, with more bugs that I found from your mods lol.

    For the Psionicist Monk, the Astral Comet HLA is bugged. It doesn't show up in the innate ability menu after you choose it. I tested every other Psionicist Monk HLA and they all work fine.

    Apologies, as I'm in the midst of a 18 CHARNAME trilogy run and I'm using your Slayer Revisions, Psionicist, Sword Dancer, and Plasma Wizard kits in my runs.

    So as I progress with each of them, through various stages in the game (everyone is in SOA by now), I might find more bugs and issues (hopefully not!).

    Thanks! Really enjoying the different playstyle options that your mods provide!
    StummvonBordwehr
  • ShirakShirak Member Posts: 84
    @semiticgoddess For the Plasma Wizard, the HLA selection screen doesn't trigger (no Abilities button when levelling up). While the HLAs themselves work if you add them as innate abilities and then cast them manually, they are unable to be selected in-game.

    I only just noticed this thread and it has got some really interesting ideas. I particularly like the Kensai Monk since the two classes seem to go together very well. Does the Kensai Monk get the Monk's armour class bonuses? I hope so because it never made much sense to me that while Kensais gets better at attacking as they go up in levels they never get any better at defending themselves.

    @Permidion_Stark: The Kensai monk does get the monk's normal AC bonuses.

    I'm sorry to say, but I am not so active on the community anymore and am not maintaining any of my mods right now.

    No problem. Thanks for getting back to me. The kensai monk actually sounds close to what the kensai should have been in the first place.

    This is the first mod I've installed. I'm very excited for all the new options. I'm using it in IWD:EE, so that gives more opportunities to use these across a whole party. I think the biggest temptations are...

    F/M/T/C/D for obvious reasons. It's the ultimate solo experience.

    Kensai Monk because it's just an outright better version of the Kensai Fighter, as I see it. It also aligns with modern D&D implementations of the Kensai, or "Kensei" as they've taken to calling it now.

    War Hulk because the thought of a group of six half-orc War Hulks forming a brutally powerful war band and ravaging the north sounds super fun. Set their script to full-aggression and let 'er rip.
  • ShirakShirak Member Posts: 84
    For those playing all the Dancer Variants, it's important to note that the mod achieves the APR by doing something with the character sprite (by making you a Sword Spider and changing the appearance?). So if you manually change your sprite type in EEKeeper, you will lose the 2 extra attacks per attack roll benefit of the class.

    Similarly, you also lose it when Adalon changes your appearance to look like a drow in the Underdark

    What's your WEIDU.log file state? It's likely in your EET / BG2EE directory.

    @semiticgoddess , I thought I'd post this here, especially since you said you're not currently working on this. The attached mod includes patches for the Alchemist, Plasma Wizard, Vampyre, Seducer, and Shapechanger kits. The main reason I made this was to for IWDEE compatibility, but I also added some fixes for the HLAs. This is for the current version of the mod v1.11.

    Details:
    HLAs
    - Alchemist: changed Magic Resist to +25% to match description
    - Seducer: fixed Psionic Time Stop (was set to an imprisonment ability)
    - Plasma Wizard: made HLAs selectable (added missing 2da file)
    - Shapechanger: made HLAs selectable
    - Shapechanger: changed Hardiness to give a +40% bonus instead of setting to 200% of base resist. The "Set %" method doesn't seem to work with resists from shapeshift forms (tested on EE v2.6).

    IWDEE compatibility fixes:
    - added Evasion to Seducer, Vampire, and Shapechanger kits
    - added proper Sneak Attack progression to these kits
    - remove mention of HLAs for Seducer, Vampire, Shapechanger, Alchemist, and Plasma Wizard
    - Plasma Wizard description lists correct school restrictions (same as Invoker)

    Shapechanger
    - fix APR for Werebadger (change from 0.5 to 1.5)
    - fix fire resist for Red Half-Dragon (change from 0 to 75%)
    - fixed Beholder appearing as a Clay Golem
    - BG2EE: fixed missing Green Dragon animation
    - IWDEE: fixed missing creature animations
    - IWDEE: fixed Beholder ray/attacks not working (missing spl files)
    - IWDEE: added missing BAM icon for Shapeshift: Natural Form

    Known issues:
    - Shapechanger: Can get stuck on geometry after switching between forms (Ctrl+J to escape)
    - To avoid, switch to natural form before changing to a different creature.

    EDIT: updated installer

    Shapechanger (not fixed)
    - BGEE: Young Green Dragon has no avatar/animation (selection circle is visible)
    - IWDEE: several forms have wrong animations (doesn't affect stats/weapon)
    - can get stuck on geometry after switching between forms (Ctrl+J to escape)

    Hello, thanks for these fixes. Are we supposed to extract them into the mod folder before installing the mod?
