Unearthed Arcana present Tome & Blood: more options for arcane casters


Recommended Posts

Hey there and thanks for this amazing mod !
Since the "Innate sequencer" component of SCS is now deprecated, i'd like to use your "Innate Metamagic" component, but want to be sure i can safely use T&B with SCS. From what DavidW said, it should be, but he couldn't confirm it. In this case SCS should be installed last, right ?

I read a really interesting thread  about the bugs sequencers seem to have, but i'd prefer to have them innate anyway.
I plan to only use this component of T&B, along with "Indelible Familiars" which, i must say, is wonderful idea, and a balanced one imho.

I don't see why not. I use both. And I design everything I make with the assumption that SCS will be installed afterward, because I think it's almost a sin to play these games without SCS AI.

General guidelines for avoiding glitches with these sequencers are probably the same as for avoiding glitches with unmodded sequencers:

  • Don't use ctrl-R
  • make sure your version of Mind Blank is not buggy (I think the new versions of SCS and IWDification are fixed in this regard)
  • Don't use ctrl-R
  • If you use Resurrection and similar spells/items, make sure you are on 2.6 (or use a hotfix for 2.5, I think there is one floating around)
  • Don't use ctrl-R

Seems latest Tome & Blood doesn't work well with the Argent77 Chaos Sorcerer kit. Installing the following sorcerer-related components in the following order in an EET game ends up with a Chaos Sorcerer CHARNAME starting with 18 charisma @ Candlekeep unable to pick any spells and Neera picked up as lv1 lacking any spell slots even. I presume the additional default spells included with Chaos Sorc throws the calculations off.

What does that have to do with Neera?

Do you mean you can’t get through character generation, or you can make chaos sorcerer but then have no spells? 

Generally, with Spell Switching, you need to use the item ability to choose spells. There might need to be a compatibility patch to handle kit-specific spells for the Chaos Sorcerer.

Look at the bottom of the excerpt. I reclassify Neera into one (to satisfy the lore/writing misconception with Neera's writing assuming wild mages are sorcerer-type innate magicians).

Yes, I get through chargen but I can't select additional spells there, with only the provided-by-the-kit spells ending up available.

Seems to be, yes.

Damn, okay, I'm an idiot. Sorry, I really overlooked that the trigger for this one is at the item ability and not an innate. Yeah, it works, sorry again. Gotta recheck Neera but if she breaks, I'll just install the Convenient NPC tweak before TnB even, incase the problems come from there.

I understand an innate ability would make more sense, it's just that you are meant to be able to use it over and over again; with an innate ability, that would keep moving itself to the right side of the innates list and cause other innates to shuffle around... I can't stand that. Whereas, an item ability can be used over and over ad infinitum and it just stays right there in the same place. Also the innates list tends to get very long in modded games, whereas screen real estate in the item abilities bar tends to go largely unused.

Learning spells from an item ability is always going to be a bit obscure for people the first time they use it; I can’t get around that. Mentioning in in a Readme only goes so far. But I figure, once you’ve done it once then you’ll know, and it will never be a problem again. 

There still may need to be a compatibility patch for that kit; I've never actually properly tested with it. But hopefully any incompatibilities should only be small glitches, not a "you can't cast spells" sort of thing!

I have a question about the COMPONENT 95: Ability Score-Based Bonus Spells.

Looking at the two attatched pictures (from a shaman in IWD:EE) you can see the "bonus priest spell slots" (first picture) under "Effects". Every time i am resting, these spell slots are removed (second picture).

Do you have an i idea what can cause this?
