dual-class pc and xp matching

[Lamey]

For a dual classed pc, the npcs match only the players active class xp. (as opposed to original class xp + active class xp)

 

For a particularly extreme example - if you pick up an npc right after dual classing they will be brain drained right down to a piddling few thousand xp.

Well, unfortunatly the project lead coder left and this is one of the corrections that weren't fixed before the beta became a public version... you can Console yourself the amount of XP you should have, for now... Nythrun is a hero in the coding of this stuff, and this was hard for her too, so it's not really easy to correct this.

Sounds like a challenge

 

But no, not bloody likely to be fixed any time soon. I have an idea, though...

Making an NPC join as a dualclassed with the second class inactive requires lots of Refinements-style kit duplication (and everybody hates you because then they can't install the TDD kits). Making him join as a full dual class (like Nalia/Imoen/Anomen) is feasible, but requires users to spend ten minutes specifying which abilities he's choosing for every individual level up. Overall, using cheats like Jarno suggests is the easiest approach.

bigg: I think he means that the xp matching component malfunctions on joining (not considering the xp sunk in the first class), when the protagonist currently has an inactive dualclass.

Hum, what? Some seriously nasty script using CheckStatGT(Level2|Level3), Class() and other hackery perhaps... But not like there's not already some nasty scripting going on.
