SAY ~Sword Dancer~

SAY ~Sword Dancer: The sword dancer is a huntress, an entertainer, and a diplomat, but above all else she is a

 

fighter. Striving always to infuse her fighting style with beauty and grace, she views each fight as a prayer to her

 

goddess, Eilistraee. To see a sword dancer in combat is to witness fighting at its most artistic and wondrous.~

You will have to create (or use an existing) one!

 

From Cam's Kit tutorial:

CLABFI01.2da et al - This file controls what spells and bonuses are applied to te kit at level-up. Each kit and vanilla character class has a unique CLAB file, set by the KITLIST.2da file in the ABILITIES column. The columns correspond to the level at which the kit receives the ability and the rows list the abilities gained. Rows can be added indefinitely. There are three types of entries for the abilities: **** (nothing), AP_spellname (applied) or GA_spellname (gained). Spells that are applied are for permanent abilities such as a Wizard Slayer's inherent magic resistance or a barbarian's speed increase. Gained abilities are for once (or more) per day abilities, such as a Kensai's kai or snares for thieves. The CLAB file will probably be the most important file for creating your kit.

 

An example is distributed with WeiDU (examples/mymod/wwarch.2da). If you want to use an existing one, just extract it with your favourite Infinity Engine editing tool. (Near Infinity or something like that)

OK copyed a clab file just chose blade for now to get things working... renamed it and dancer installed, successfuly! yay! Except the kit is installing into the cleric row not the bards and with none of the changed i've made Boo

 

 

EDIT: i found my problem it was here ..... // PC races and classes allowed to use this kit, from KITTABLE.2da

the C's needed to be B's and it went to where it was spose to go and seems to be acting right.
