CamDawg Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 BD switched BGEE NPCs to ToB-style, where instead of having multiple creature files with variable XP it simply used one and scaled XP to match the PC. They accounted for stuff like spellbooks but not starting equipment. E.g. in oBG, Ajantis can start with chain, splint, or plate, depending on level, but BGEE Ajantis always comes with chain. Quote
CamDawg Posted April 10, 2022 Author Posted April 10, 2022 I've matched the old NPC creature files to the EE XP breakpoints (0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32k) as best I can. For BGEE: Ajantis has his chainmail upgraded to splint mail at 8k, and upgraded to plate at 32k. Dorn gets a helmet at 8k and has his splint upgraded to plate at 32k. Edwin gets throwing daggers at 32k. Eldoth gets a longbow & arrows at 8k. Imoen gets a short sword at 2k and gets studded leather at 16k. Jaheira gets a sling & bullets at 16k. Kagain gets throwing axes at 2k, gets his studded leather upgraded to chain at 8k and splint at 32k. Khalid gets a longbow & arrows at 2k. Minsc gets his leather upgraded to studded leather at 2k. Montaron gets throwing axes at 16k. Safana gets darts at 4k. Shar-Teel gets a light crossbow & bolts at 2k, gets her studded leather upgraded to splint at 8k and plate at 32k. Skie gets a short sword at 2k. Viconia gets her leather upgraded to studded leather at 8k and chain at 16k. Quote
jmerry Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Imoen actually still uses her level 2 creature file as well; you already get the short sword if you delay the initial meeting. Another weird bit with her equipment - her wand of Magic Missiles is WAND12 rather than the standard WAND03. Same with Mordaine from the combat testing party in Candlekeep. There is a mechanical difference; WAND12 lacks the effect that allows Shield to block it. Quote
