Derats's Abolute Wacky Arcanists Pack v6
A pack composed of 35 spellcasters whose particularity is to make you change your way of playing.
Mage kits:
Scourge: (not in IWDEE)
Advantage:
- All of his spells and abilities are remembered each round.
Disadvantage:
- Can only learn spells from Evocation and Necromancy schools.
Note:
This kit also installs a new level 1 evocation spell, necessary to be able to choose the 6 minimum spells when creating the character in BG2.
You can change your stored spells between rounds. Yes, that makes it a semi-sorcerer.
Enraged: (not in IWDEE)
Advantages:
- Whenever he kills a creature he gain Improved Alacrity for one round.
- +15% damage dealt, weapon or spell.
Disadvantages:
- He gives no credit to defensives schools and does not learn any spells from the schools of Abjuration, Divination, and Illusion.
- When his hit points drop below 25% he becomes a Spell berserk. (For 5 rounds the Enraged can no longer move or attack. He can only think of casting spells: he gain Improved Alacrity and -2 to casting time but has a 10% chance of missing incantations.)
- Spells and effects like "x when y" (Fire Shield: damage inflicted WHEN hit) have no effect on him.
Psychotope:
Advantage:
- Casting time fixed to 1.
- Every 3 rounds he rememorize a lost spell of the maximum known level. If there is no spell to rememorize at that level, it is one spell level below instead.
Disadvantage:
- Any loss of consciousness: sleep (from a night's rest or induced), stun, fear, berserk, charm, confusion, debility, or death causes him to forget all his spells.
Spell stealer:
Advantage:
- Can at will, on contact, make an arcanist forget a spell (no saving throw) to remember himself a spell of maximum known level.
- Can once a day, on contact, make an arcanist forget all his spells (saving throw against death) to remember all his spells himself.
Disadvantage:
- Can memorize one less spell per spell level.
- Each access to a new spell level is slowed down by one level (first spell of level 1 at level 2 of wizard).~
Legendary singularity:
Advantage:
- Damage inflicted tripled.
Disadvantage:
- Life points fixed at 1 per level.
- Not affected by effects that increase the number of maximum hit points.
- Physical, elemental and magic resistances: -50%.
- Saving throws: -4
Hammerer:
Advantages:
- He knows only one spell, Magic Missile, which he can cast at will and of which he is the specialist:
* 1 additional missile every 3 levels, up to a maximum of 11 missiles.
* Missile damage 1D4+1, 1D6+2 at level 10, 1D8+3 at level 20, 1D10+4 at level 30, 1D12+5 at level 40, 3D4+6 at level 50.
* Each missile has a 5% chance of inflicting double damage, 10% at level 20, 15% at level 40.
* Spell protection considers this spell to be of equal level to the number of missiles sent (IE: considered a level 6 spell when 6 missiles are sent). At 10 missiles sent, no spell protection can block this spell, apart from Shield and Protection against Evocation.
Disadvantages :
- He can't learn any other spells.
- He has no access to any hla.
Notes:
- At character creation in BG2EE you MUST choose spells. Choose anything at all - all spells learned are forgotten as soon as the game starts anyway.
- Find an alternative way to give it "Improved Alacrity" and it becomes a god.

Does this mod use ADD_KIT_EX? I was concerned about this bug for arcane casting kits that jmerry published last year would affect your mod.
Thankee!
EDIT: It seems some of your kits prevented me from learning haste and stoneskin as a level 3 Sor and level 4 spell respectively.
Comments on some of the kits:
ANOMALY
Mechanically, this is like a late-game (BG2ish) version of the Magic Minimus but one who can wear gear: Your defensive benefits (100% native spell resistance and being healed by raw magic damage like magic missile) are strong. You can't be healed by spells nor potions, but your character can safely sleep for weeks at a time - and you were already doing that, right? - meaning its downside is small.
(I didn't like how the graphic for this class was changed to a purple magic golem. Its fidgeting animation was distracting to me. Changing it to be purple skin, hair, eyes, and clothes by default would be more fitting and less distracting.)
INCANTATOR
Its drawbacks include having to wait longer for every spell cast. It's +4 to casting time, or the reverse of a Robe of Vecna. That turned me off from the start and made me mentally pass on it. If this drawback only applies in combat, that's fairer.
Beyond that, the +50% energy damage and spell duration are sometimes handy, but for me at least, not worth the extra cast time. I quit BGII for years because buffing before each fight took too long!
MAGIC MINIMUS
The poverty playthough kit to play for its advantanges! Even in a normal game, this kit is rated A for Awesome in the early game (BG1 mostly) and becomes more and more dump-worthy as the game progresses since it can't equip any items, even though it can store some in inventory. Its main early game benefit is immunity to mundane weapons, which are very common in the early game!
SPIRIT OF THE MIRROR
I couldn't find how to cast reflect image at will. Was it bugged?
Regardless, getting mirror image known automatically as a level 1 spell in addition to your normal Sor spells is a significant advantage. Play correctly - like relying on stoneskin, haste, and other life-saving spells, and this class's downsides are minimized.
Yeah, you ran into it. At least 64 total kits, with these installed at the end, and they ran into the ID numbers that get abjurer restrictions. Learning spells from scrolls is unaffected, but character creation and sorcerer level-ups end up with unintended banned schools.
As this kit mod includes sorcerer kits, it should be installed earlier than most other kit mods; if you have more than 20 or so custom kits before installing these, the sorcerer kits here will be unable to learn alteration spells. Or possibly divination spells, if you add another 64 to that. Or both, if you're really pushing the bounds with 150+ custom kits. Just make sure to install it early, before you install other large collections of kits.
This is not fundamentally a problem with this kit mod; it's a problem with the game itself, and hardcoding connected to the original eight mage specialties. Assigning a kit ID number that didn't use any of those eight problem bits would fix the problem, but it might break other things and none of the standard tools for adding kits support non-sequential kit IDs.
I don't understand. you can only cast one spell per round. 4 buff spells, 4 rounds. Casting time 1 or 5, it doesn't matter. So how does this kit bother your pre-buff?
The power of this kit is : lvl 1 magic missile, casting time 1, damages 1D4+1. With this kit, casting time 5, damages 3x 1D6+1,5.
Another? lvl 11 fire arrow, casting time 3, damage 3x5D6. With this kit casting time 8, damage 4x5D9.
and many more exemples.
Check your abilities (like the bhaal powers)
You are absolutely right. In fact, this overpowered advantage was added at the very end before the release because I didn't have any other idea to balance it with the disadvantage. I guess that just "double castable spells" is not enough?
these kis are overpowered, I assume. The very idea of this mod is overpowering. And I have other kits under construction in the same vein (make you change your way of playing) that will be of the same kind.
Il will check how to use ADD_KIT_EX. thanks for the advice.
I didn't understand why this kit can still pick the spells the kit gets automatically - mirror image, simulacrum, project image, etc. Maybe it was my Dragonspear UI++.
Also, what is the purpose of major reflected image? It is meant to act as a self-only displacement? Does it stack with mirror image? Throughout various editions, I generally preferred mirror image to displacement because mirror image lasted as least as long and it normally offered greater - though declining - defense.
Magic Minimus: Preventing it from equipping only magic items (while still allowing the equipping and use of consumables and nonmagical items) is still better, but even double spells per day - or even double spells per day plus double spells known - is only questionably balanced. Itemization potentially matters a lot, and Boots of Speed are simply the best boot slot item for convenience, especially if people aren't using mods to increase party movement speed. However, the idea of being a totally self-sufficient character like a 3.5 Vow of Poverty character is intriguing. If the class got the effects of certain items (Boots of Speed, Amulet of Power, maybe faster cast speed, better AC, better saves, and maybe the occasional status immunity) at certain predefined levels, the loss of magic equipment access would be more tolerable. I'm writing this post very soon before bed and I'm unsure how to balance this class as of yet, but consider what benefits a character is expecting to have over the course of his life (bonuses to AC, saves, resistances, and maybe spell resistance plus status or damage immunities, movement speed boosts, etc.) and go from there.
Another edited request: Apply Olvyn's Spell Tool to any new spell files from this mod so they don't count against the limit of 50 spells per spell level per type (arcane/divine), and so Tome & Blood spell substitution for spontaneous casters works on them. Thankee!
Thankee!
The kit gives the spells with 1 lvl less. I didn't find out how to prevent the same spells to be taken back to normal level; it's not the fault of any mod tier, it's a technical impossibility.
the spell has an in-game description. Summary here: it is a permanent reflected image, so all the time 50% not to receive the blow. (in D&D3 a similar spell is lvl 3 too : Displacement. (in my spell mod it's a lvl 4 spell,more suited to BG2))
Magical Minuims are a swarm. A swarm does not carry an object.
And I always thought it was stupid that the kit that can't carry ANY magic items can carry magic boots.
Will test some when I'm back on the game.
I never really left modding, although I often wanted to. I'm only stuck since 1 year on one of my modules for which I started so many subcomponents that I have to finish and check them all, not to mention a "technically infinite" component, for which I regularly find new things to add -> never finished ^^
companions based on specializations from the mod itself.
looks good. If possible, could more mage kits be a thing in the future. Sorterers have been given a lot of love - both here and elsewhere?
this to Edwin because it looks stylish. Also the teddy bear form one of
Lava's mod: this is a must have for Edwin in his left hand. The evil mage
WANTS a teddy bear. And the amber rose, the item from the dream
quest by Lava: I like that to reinforce Edwin's romantic side.
These are not necessarily power items. Teddy bear is not really needed,
but it just FITS to Edwin really. Just as Jan wants to become a lich
secretly, and turn his love into a banshee spouse.
If someone takes up this mod or picks up an idea, then I think the
arcane improvements should ALSO be stylish. Not necessarily
overpowered items but just things that increase Charisma too.
And more fitting cloaks. Perhaps even one that has rainbow colours.
Or user-modificable colours, would be great if we could have that.
And more spellbooks too. Like for purchase ... costs more than the
spell of course but has something like free 1day per use or so.
Tons of ideas...
If I may, I have some questions/suggestions:
General:
- Bardic Wonders mod has a component that changes bard song to one-time click effect (instead of sustained effect) and lets your bard take more active role - would love to see it here too, if possible!
- would you consider implementing dedicated HLAs for bard songs in order to make them useful in ToB (again, much like bardic wonders or ToB enhanced song)?
Disciple of Ratatoskr:
- that kit is so lovely! I really like the idea, makes me want to play bard for my next walkthrough
- wouldn’t it make sense to make the song stronger as bard gains levels? e.g. saving throws would first be made with a bonus and later apply penalty
- this class definitely deserves a unique squirrel familiar!
- would be super nice to see some squirrel themed spells or abilities (HLAs?), like maybe summon a pack of squirrels (with a small change to summon a mega squirrel) or squirrel shape change, which would make bard very quick, agile and give a chance to avoid the incoming attacks (while keeping ability to cast spells or use bard sing; wild mage additions mod has a 1-st level “rodent form” spell, even with a squirrel icon, that lets you change into a squirrel), but without a possibility to attack with a weapon; there is a fun weasel mod btw: https://downloads.weaselmods.net/download/weasels/
- in BG2 there is an acorn icon (Irenicus dryads), which makes me think of either a special ability or item acorn-themed (maybe a bard can have an ability to gather acorns that can later work as e.g. a consumable portion or a weapon similar to melf meteors)
- I noticed that enemies turned into squirrels still can cast spells or use special abilities; I would suggest to add following effects:
1) disable spells and abilities;
2) squirrel can either only move or have one attack per round doing 1 dmg (weapon changed to squirrel paws);
3) change movement speed to slow.
No-magic chanter:
- how does the dispel effect works? it’s automatic success or rather a level test like dispel magic?
- would be nice if successful dispelling was accompanied by the sound & visual effect (like dispel magic) and displayed in the log (e.g. “Illasera: dispel effects”)
Cruw of chaos:
- applying chaos weave to every spell makes them almost unusable
- not sure if it’s hard coded, but the wild mage caster level varies each time when casting a spell - have you considered implementing it?
- wouldn’t it make sense to make the song stronger as bard gains levels? e.g. saving throws would first be made with a bonus and later apply penalty
- if you want to develop this class further (it has a huge potential!!!) here you may find some inspiration (wild mage additions mod): https://github.com/BGforgeNet/bg2-wildmage/blob/master/wildmage/docs/spells.pdf
- abilities like dragon breath still work for enemies polymorphed into squirrels
- squirrels retain their thac0 and can actually hurt you
- enemies turned into squirrels have like 5h, so even a dragon can be killed instantly when turned into squirrel
