Feint feat possible ?

zymcio · August 12

i read somewhere there is no chance to change sneak attack/crit immunity cuz it is hardcoded.

I was thinking to create custom feat which gives you spell or ability to use.
Using this spell/ability is full action
DC would be 1d20 or static 8 + bluff skill vs Will save enemy
If enemy fail it will take 1d6 dmg per 2 levels of rogue class ala sneak attack + 1d6 + str
If enemy is immune to critical dmg he is immune to this spell/ability

or maybe someone have better idea ?

Can you commandeer one of the player tool feats to target a melee combatant and make a full attack action animation? I think so!? You'd have to check out ~probably~ feat.2da and see. (I'd try to mimic the entries of disarm or knockdown for starters.)

Otherwise, you can script the DC, Save, immunity check, damage and feedback into the associated player tool script. You could try to attach the feat to the player via scripting or by making it a class feat and add it to their radial menu in the iprp_feat.2da (I forget, it's been a while.)

Sounds awesome!

If there are cool downs on knockdown and hide in plain sight. This would make a really fun addition.
knockdown, stab, feint, stab, stealth...

feat and good playing needed to get around the cooldowns.

I have not delved into adjusting/creating feats yet, but If you figure this out PLEASE post.

I have always wanted to see a "Charge" feat for fighter types.

Good Luck!

FWIW, I made this a long time ago. It allowed me to use player tool 1 as a limited HiPS for the panther and to simulate a charge for the boar and minotaur shapes. The charge can be activated in the middle of doing things which makes it wonky, but it's fun. (you have to add player tool 1 to custom skins for each shape and edit shifter.2da so the shapes use those skins. also, I used custom shifting scripts from Iznoghoud i.e. I think, ScanForPolymorphEffect() )

    if( GetLocalInt(oPC,"PLTOOL1") ) {
        SendMessageToPC(oPC,"You cannot activate this ability yet.");
        return;
    }


    //Disallow use if not in a shape
    if( ScanForPolymorphEffect(oPC) == -2 ) {
        SendMessageToPC(oPC,"Only usable while polymorphed.");
        return;

I'm not finding a shifter.2da—at least, not in what I extracted last time. I thought I pulled everything though.
EDIT: I think I found it: polymorph.2da

Terrorble · August 31

polymorph.2da, yep, that's it! It's been a while since I've been in the toolset.

Feint feat possible ?
