Skills and Abilities Mod

[morpheus562]

@Graion DilachI'm thinking it is failing on a kit mod somewhere. Will need to figure out which one is doing it and why.

[morpheus562]

@Graion DilachI added a field to print out the different kits as they are being updated. If you do not mind running it again, that should hopefully assist at determining which one it is failing on. I also updated to verify the clab files for newly added kits actually exist. If this remediates the error, then somewhere in your install is a new kit that has an incorrectly added CLAB file.

I'm running it but if you are trying to patch CLAB files, then that is the problem, because multiclass kits do not have CLAB files (they use all of their base class's tied to the indiv level, and even QD_MULTI just converts the kit source CLABs into a list of effects applied to shim spell used as EFF containers, gated behind 318s to prevent being applied to the singleclass trueclass).

Did that one correct the issue?

Most multiclass kits still have CLAB files (all of them that I'm aware of) - which should be patchable without install errors. The problem it creates is that the patches won't have any effect in the game.

@Graion Dilachwould there be in an interest in a NWN2 Style Weapons Lite version where I don't touch base weapon damage? This should alleviate any incompatibility issues with Scales of Balance.

ADD_KIT_EX properly writes * to the multikit CLAB entry and indeed that causes it, the query crashes on my archer/cleric custom ADD_KIT_EX multikit. Multikit mods shouldn't write garbage into that coloumn to false-assure modders that something will happen if they update those at a later point anyway.

@morpheus562 Not from me. I also want the hammer damage buff.

I've gone ahead and updated it some more to no longer alter clab files for multiclass kits. Let me know if this completely resolves the issue, and if it does I will go ahead and release it. Thank you!

"Divine Agent (2 slots): The character becomes immune to hold and paralysis"

Too op in my opinion. Should be added by 5 pips or even completely removed. Also kinda strange, free action icon is displayed but this ability doesn't protect against web.

I'm flexible with moving these around, and I'm not exactly satisfied with the 5th pip option. What would you suggest as a 2nd level pip replacement?

[InKal]

I dunno, maybe +1 spell slot lvl 1 to 4? 

[morpheus562]

I've honestly never been satisfied with current devout proficiency set and I think I'll be doing a complete redesign with the next update. Ground up overhaul. 

Divine Proficiency (Replacing Devout)

- Divine Shield (1 pip) - +1AC bonus

- Divine Fortune (2 pips) - +2 bonus to Saving Throws

- Divine Vengeance (3 pips) - Enemies receive 2 magic damage upon striking the character

- Divine Armor (4 pips) - +5% Damage Resistance to all physical damage

- Divine Vigor (5pips) - +1 APR bonus

I'm also thinking of adding a proficiency set for thieves to provide bonuses to skills, increase backstab multiplier, and have a 5% chance per hit to activate assassination for one round. Need to flesh this one out more.

@morpheus562if you want some inspirstion for psionic related kits, you may want to check this old mod: Psionic Unleshed. It's development was discontinued years ago, and I'm pretty sure it won't work with 2.6.6, but you may pick up one or two got d ideas. From what I remember it was taking inspiration from D&D 3.5 psionics. Completely different approach than in Subtledoctor's Might & Guile, the one that I'm more find of, to be honest.
