A small project that I really wanted to do. Adds a few kits to the game.

1) Forest Warden - Fighter Kit

SPRUCE STRENGTH: For 1 turn the Forest Warden gains a 25% penalty to Fire Resistance and a 50% movement rate penalty. In exchange he receives a +2 bonus to Armor Class, and all melee attacks made by the Forest Warden cause an additional 1d4 crushing damage plus 1 point per 2 levels to all enemies in a 10-ft. radius of the impact.

The Forest Warden also cannot be affected by poison, entangling effects, and mind affecting effects.

A druidy fighter.

2) Halfling Marshal - Fighter Kit - Revised

A slightly paladin flavoured fighter!

6) Artillier - Ranger Kit

    I'll talk about the Halfling marshall class since it's the one that caught my eye, I love the little guys.
    1)IMHO their aligment should be restricted to Lawful rather than good. They're a sort of police force and commanders right?
    2)"May not exceed Specialization in X type of weapons" is absolutely worthless as a disadvantage, in all kit mods I've seen it acts as a sort of "well, I had to give the kit SOME disadvantage!" scapegoat. "May not exceed Specialization" period would be better.
    Has potential, the kits seem interesting.

    EDIT: also, I cant install it in BGEE+SOD :(

    That worked, thanks a lot man.

    Darnit. I knew missed something. Forgot to change the folder when I copied the code over. New version uploaded.

    @subtledoctor Cheers! Thanks for covering.
    @toolarg It should work standalone now if you want to download the new update (1.0a); no more having to copy the 2da file from somewhere else if you want to reinstall.
  • FailGeekFailGeek Member Posts: 50
    Updated! Check opening post for v1.1 download.

    Thieves next.

    Some of the thief kits are done. They'll have slightly different spell selections if you have Spell Revisions installed.

    Next to be done: 2 Fighter kits, and 1 thief kit.

    @toolarg. Hey, I finally revised the Halfling Marshal kit. I figured I may as well force the weapon restriction that I wanted the kit to have with effects on the items.

    Makes more sense now, definitely trying a run with the halfling marshal now. The other classes are very interesting aswell, very unique abilities.

    Is there any way to make this work with the IWD:EE beta? I really want to have the halfling marshal in the party :neutral:

    EDIT: actually I think I figured it out, sorry for the trouble.

    Sorry for the double post, but I thought that if I did an edit the thread wouldn't be pushed up and it wouldn't be noticed.

    Anyways, for those of you who want to install these kits in IWD:EE 2.5 beta, you need to open Setup-FG_Kits.tp2 and replace
    "ACTION_IF GAME_IS ~bgee bg2ee eet~ THEN BEGIN //Detection - Game: Checks"
    with
    ACTION_IF GAME_IS ~bgee bg2ee eet iwdee~ THEN BEGIN //Detection - Game: Checks

    Then it'll work fine. The mod does actually check for IWD:EE a few lines afterwards if it doesn't detect BG:EE or BG2:EE but for some reason that check doesn't work with IWD:EE 2.5 beta, so you gotta do the edit :neutral:
    I think these kits are worth it, some are quite original. :smile:

    @FailGeek 's kits mod are always awesome. They are the reason why I started modding kits.

    I wish I had his/hers creativity.
  • KatelingKateling Member Posts: 5
    No chance this mod is still supported? I've tried the Seeker kit, but I can't select any HLAs. I am also using Refinements.
