Demivrgvs Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 "Lots of stuff..."So... No chance of making the component optional I guess? Eh eh, I like discussing you know. I don't know, if it's doable without too much hassle fine with me, else I think your uber kensage would have to live with an additional +2 AC. What I and Ardanis were "simply" trying to say is that it's really not an unbalancing factor. Actually I'd dare to say true kensais are too weak without such feature with IR installed. Top notch heavy armors are more heavily enchanted than in vanilla, helmets are generally more enchanted, and shields are a lot more powerful than in vanilla. All these things makes true fighters more effective characters while leaving kensai's power level unaltered. Link to comment

Unbalanced stuff and too many magical items have been my two biggest griefs with the BWS so far. Link to comment
Ardanis Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I believe one more point was amiss in this discussion. Kensai has only 3-4 better damage/thaco by the end of BG1, and loses about as much AC in comparison to a fighter in non-magical fullplate. Without bracers he would have been no match at all.

DrAzTiK Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Kensai/thief + HLA is a pure cheat imo. In fact, it seems many cheaters love rebalancing mods (Imo for a clear conscience ) Link to comment
