level change effect in iwd2

[Avenger]

Instead of using param1 (a dword) as two words, the blackisle guys use the value on offset 0x2c (an unused field in v1/v2 eff struct) to pass the class parameter (0-10).

 

The specialty of this field is that it is present in old v1 effect structures, so it could be added to spells or items, and doesn't require an external eff. BG2 hacks used param3/param4 fields which exist only in V2 eff structures.

 

This is the only effect so far which use 0x2c. At least i don't know of any other.
