Kit Revisions Beta 20

[Demivrgvs]

Barbarian

Apperantly the biggest attack speed bonus active is used, if bonus is set to 10 (I think this is max weapon speed) the attack triggers instantly.

Cool. Good to know we can make Cleave even better both functionally and cosmetically.

 

I used a sort of a "cooldown" for "Charge" (1 turn) but was thinking that it could be upgraded at 10th/19th level to have a shorter trigger period.

Worked out nice, seeing a barby spring to battle is cool.

LOL sounds like we had pretty much the same idea. Do you think some sort of penalty would not be enough to prevent its spam?

 

What I don't like about "usable" feats is

a) AI won't use them

b) they prevent any other action during that round beside fighting, making them fairly difficult and inconvinient to use

a) for now, but yeah

b) well, stances are not supposed to be activated often, and this ability should only be activated once per encounter before going in melee. No big deal in both cases imo.

 

Regarding Tireless Rage, I'm still undecided about it, and I'd limit it to HLA levels. I also thought about using a reduced fatigue for high levels (much less severe effects, lowered duration or maybe even both) but your solution is kinda fine as well albeit strange looking imo (a tireless effect which displays the tired icon).

 

Berserker

He's nice, but some "auto-frenzy" feature would be imo more fitting than at will usable OS.

You know I do like the auto-frenzy thing, but it's incredibly difficult to implement well. I will surely work again on the Berserker in future versions, but it's already quite cool as it is imo, and I'd prefer to focus a bit more on the other classes unless other beta testers find this kit a bit lacking.

 

From my various tweaks, I'd avoid

a) penalizing his AC too much

b) damage bonuses above the ones he's getting now (max +8 stance - or frenzy; and +4 Rage is enough)

c) <50% trigger for regen, since it's too slow to cast (if you want to make this a battle regeneration, imo it's much better to change the trigger into "each round when attacked", this way it only works when it actually shoud (combat, not walking around in circles).

d) "when helpless" trigger could also be re-implemented, but with a big cooldown (example - "once per day, if a berserker gets disabled, he can use his inner strenght to break free of ill effects blah blah....")

a) current -2/-4 is fine imo, if you stack both Rage and Reckless OS you deserve a big hit to compensate the insane dmg output

b) indeed

c) still undecided how to handle this, though the current implementation is mostly fine imo because it's only lacking when you get TONS of dmg in the very same round.

d) I agree, and I do think it will be back in some way.

 

Kensai

Ki dodge at level 19 makes enemies completely disregard him, and simply focus on other targets, while a large AC bonus actually makes him "do his job".

I don't like SCS AI behaviour in this case. The huge AC bonus would accomplish almost the same, but leaving the kensai extremely vulnerable to criticals, and this ability was actually intended as a late game counter to Critical Strike HLA.

 

I'd rather have him powerful as a single kit who kept away from dualclassing for 90% of the game than as a dualed level 13 kensai.

I obviously wish the same.

I also thought about using a reduced fatigue for high levels (much less severe effects, lowered duration or maybe even both) but your solution is kinda fine as well albeit strange looking imo (a tireless effect which displays the tired icon).

Well, I did consider "intoxicated" as well...the description of the ability would be something like "from level 20, Barbarian no longer suffers post-rage fatigue. Instead, he drinks an ale."

Jokes aside, it's a fairly important information for the player so something must be displayed, and I couldn't find a more fitting icon.

I also tought about things such as keeping his Rage fairly low in duration (i.e. 36 seconds all levels, or a slight upgrade 26/39/42) but instead making his fatigue last quite a bit shorter (10th and 19th level) to make more distinction from the berserker and to simulate his endurance/sport spirit/ healthy diet etc.

I don't know how this would turn out...toughts?

 

Berserker

You know I do like the auto-frenzy thing, but it's incredibly difficult to implement well. I will surely work again on the Berserker in future versions, but it's already quite cool as it is imo, and I'd prefer to focus a bit more on the other classes unless other beta testers find this kit a bit lacking.

What I did was relatively simple, I made his OS "permanent" condition via two different spells in his CLAB file simulating OS bonuses/penalties just so AI berserkers are using it as well. This worked out fine - I must point out BG1 Ogre Berserkers with single-weapon style/flails could kill a level 3 warrior/paladin in a single blow without critical hit aversion.

 

 

c) still undecided how to handle this, though the current implementation is mostly fine imo because it's only lacking when you get TONS of dmg in the very same round.

Yup, and that's exactly where you'll lack it. Consider the damage in a round by a cleric, two fighters and a mage focusing on him. It happens fairly often in BG2 you get hit for silly damage amounts with SCS installed. It just gets worse as mages get more levels.

 

Kensai

I don't like SCS AI behaviour in this case. The huge AC bonus would accomplish almost the same, but leaving the kensai extremely vulnerable to criticals, and this ability was actually intended as a late game counter to Critical Strike HLA.

I know. But AI detects weapon immunity, it has to. It would be nice if this ability had an animation, since this way kensai looks "bored", not dodging the incoming attacks. Is it possible to grant critical hit immunity via spell?

Any news on how the thief+kits is going?

[Demivrgvs]

Any news on how the thief+kits is going?

I'm stuck on IR's beta right now because Arda pretty much abandoned me (temporarily - I hope). Thanks to beta testers help I'm fixing few things (e.g. vampiric and bleeding effects could potentially cause small issues) while doing a massive amount of small refinements to the main component.

 

I also have SR on hold, and without Arda I'm not sure I can handle all KR stuff (probably not) but I should be able to package thief kits by myself. I'll be at home tomorrow and look into it. Short story: expect more news within 24 hours.

[Darkersun]

I hope Arda will be back for it soon. I'm really excited about the new thiefs. Can't wait to see what you did to them.

IF I wanted to download kit revision, this version is the version I should be using ?

[spanyam]

Echoing the above. I would like to help test this mod as well. Is this the version to use? Thanks!

[Demivrgvs]

This is the "official one" yes. I gave Kreso a slightly updated one with few fixes and a first attempt of the Beastmaster companion, lemme check if there were must have fixes.

 

I'll send you a PM for IR and SR betas asap. I plan to have a new build up for SR relatively soon in case you are not in a hurry, but feel free to start playing, I'm not implementing huge changes.

Great, thanks. I will just wait for your pm to test the latest build of all 3 together, since that seems to be the intended use. I am anyway unable to start for another 10 hours or so (work, evening commitments, etc.)

Well now. It seems that if "melee hit effect" opcode has 0 probability of ever happening, it can still happen. I guess the chance is actully 1%, but I've witnessed it a few times already. This time I took a screenshot - 248 opcode, in previous betas it sent berserker into Frenzy, now disabled still triggered. I don't know if 0 means 1% on other opcodes, but for this I'm sure.

It's the same for every opcode, that's just how probabilities work in the Infinity engine. If you have "disable portrait icons added by equipped items" from the Tweakpack installed you'll see that it actually sets the equipped effect probability of portrait icons appearing to zero, but sometimes they still do.

 

There IS a way to ensure that different effects in a spell or item feature block won't overlap if that's undesirable (i.e. 80% chance of effect A, 20% chance of effect B) but it involves shell spells and is off topic anyway.

[janoha]

I have played a bit with the mod, and I think it would be a good idea to include options in the installer for installing each class group separately (fighters, paladins, rangers and so on). Eventually it might even be a good idea to let the player choose for each kit separately, but for now on a class basis would be an improvement in my mind.

 

Other than some things being buggy (I had some problems with the free pips a true fighter gets on level 5 when it came to dual classing), and some things not feeling all that polished, this mod shows great potential and have many great ideas. I think my overall recommendation would be not to try too much at a time. I'd rather have more simple classes with a better feel and more tight concept. The main point is to make them viable and distinct.

 

So keep up the good work. I am very excited to see new bards and druids

[bG1:EE]

 

I have a pretty awkward bug with Beta 20. Playing as a True Fighter, and when I reached level 5 all my previous proficiencies were removed. The 5th level "becomes proficient (+) in the use of all types of weapons" seemingly overwrote my 3+2 pips in Bastard Sword + Axe into 1 pip in everything.

 

EDIT: Ok that's not the extent of the problem. It seems all F/X multi-classes also gets the benefit of a True Fighters level 5 multi-proficiency bonus. Both Jaheira (F/D) and Khalid (F/M) loses all pips on level 5 and gets one pip in all profs that their class allow.

 

EDIT2: Yeah they also get the True Fighter innates, like stances and so forth.

 

EDIT3: So, how is Called Shot supposed to work? I thought I'd get a sub-menu for Disarm or Trip, but I don't.

 

Weidu-log - it's a bit sub optimal at the end as I decided to try out KR pretty late, and Thrown Hammers is just there to see if it even works with BG1EE (it does, even though there's some weirdness I believe is related to having IR installed before):

I have a pretty awkward bug with Beta 20. Playing as a True Fighter, and when I reached level 5 all my previous proficiencies were removed. The 5th level "becomes proficient (+) in the use of all types of weapons" seemingly overwrote my 3+2 pips in Bastard Sword + Axe into 1 pip in everything.

 

EDIT: Ok that's not the extent of the problem. It seems all F/X multi-classes also gets the benefit of a True Fighters level 5 multi-proficiency bonus. Both Jaheira (F/D) and Khalid (F/M) loses all pips on level 5 and gets one pip in all profs that their class allow.

EE issue. I used EEKeeper to revert back when I was playing EE, but nowdays I delete this effect from fighters before I install KR, since it makes SCS install on top of KR faster, then cheat it back in when I start the game.

Multis are prone to mishibaving (i.e. IR has an option to remove limitations from either Druid or Cleric or both - KR doesn't account for that).

 

EDIT2: Yeah they also get the True Fighter innates, like stances and so forth.

They should.

 

 

EDIT3: So, how is Called Shot supposed to work? I thought I'd get a sub-menu for Disarm or Trip, but I don't.

A la Spell Immunity spell (pool vanishes if you do anything apart use click on one of two icons). Odd that it doesn't work for you, it works on my install, just tested on EE1. Try using "Autopause - spell cast".

Multis are prone to mishibaving (i.e. IR has an option to remove limitations from either Druid or Cleric or both - KR doesn't account for that).

 

EDIT2: Yeah they also get the True Fighter innates, like stances and so forth.

They should.

 

 

EDIT3: So, how is Called Shot supposed to work? I thought I'd get a sub-menu for Disarm or Trip, but I don't.

 

Weidu-log - it's a bit sub optimal at the end as I decided to try out KR pretty late, and Thrown Hammers is just there to see if it even works with BG1EE (it does, even though there's some weirdness I believe is related to having IR installed before):

A la Spell Immunity spell (pool vanishes if you do anything apart use click on one of two icons). Odd that it doesn't work for you, it works on my install, just tested on EE1. Try using "Autopause - spell cast".

 

Good answers all, thank you. And indeed Called Shot is WAD, I was just too weirded out by the first issue to analyse it correctly.

 

Well, I've done a run with BG1:EE and I'm not super-awed; time to go back to BGT I think.
