Morpheus562's Kitpack

[morpheus562]

Greetings all. I will be removing the kits I introduced in my Skills and Abilities mod and giving them a new home here. The hope is this will assist players with their installs and keep these kits as a separate, stand-alone entity. These kits are inspired from various areas to include 5e subclasses and NWN2 Prestige Classes. I would like to explicitly note the phenomenal work that Kaedrin did with introducing many new Prestige Classes to NWN2 and I borrow from his work to bring them into the Infinity Engine. There is more to come, but what is listed below is fully functional.

The github can be located here.

Fighter

Battle Master (5e inspired)

An expert in two-handed weapons, the Battle Master is able to wreak havok on any battlefield. Their ferocity and resilience is well renowned, and enemies fear the endless barrage of their attacks.

Advantages:
– 1st Level: May use the Charge ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1, one use at level 3, and an additional use every 3 levels thereafter.

CHARGE: The Battle Master is able to increase his movement speed by +5 for 3 seconds.

– 2nd Level: May use the Trip Attack ability once per day and gains an additional use every 4 levels thereafter.

TRIP ATTACK: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack within the next round, they will fall to the ground for 3 seconds. A successful save vs. Death negates the fall. This increases to save vs. Death at -2 at level 14 and -4 at level 20 to resist being tripped.

– 5th Level: May use the Relentless Assault ability once per day and gains an additional use every 5 levels thereafter.

RELENTLESS ASSAULT: The Battle Master is able to unleash a flurry of blows and doubles the amount of attacks they can do for 5 rounds.

After the effects end, the character becomes winded, suffering a -2 penalty to Armor Class, to-hit rolls, and damage rolls for 2 rounds.

Disadvantages:
– May only attain Grandmaster in two-handed weapons while all other weapons can only attain Proficient.

Battlerager

Battleragers are a type of dwarf warrior whose combat style relies on raw instinct, anger, and physical strength. The individuals who practice this type of fighting are usually mentally unstable with a low life expectancy. The infamous battlerager fighting style relies on individuals immersing themselves completely into battle, often at the expense of their own personal safety.

Advantages:
– May use Reckless Abandon ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter.

RECKLESS ABANDON: The character becomes enraged for 1 turn. While enraged, the character gains a +10% bonus to <PRO_HISHER> damage rolls and becomes immune to charm, confusion, fear, feeblemind, hold, imprisonment, level drain, maze, stun, and sleep. The character also receives a -2 penalty to Armor Class, takes 1 point of damage per round while enraged (knocking the character unconscious if this causes the character's hit points to be reduced to 0), and receives +10% increase to all physical damage taken.

– 5th Level: Gains the Spiked Armor passive ability.

Spiked Armor: Any enemy who damages the Battlerager will receive 1d4 points of piercing damage.

Disadvantages:
– Becomes winded after Reckless Abandon: -2 penalty to movement rate, to-hit rolls, and damage rolls.
– May not use ranged weapons.
– Race restricted to dwarf.
– Alignment restricted to any non-lawful.

Dragoon

Dragoons are warriors who dedicate their lives to the use of polearm weapons (quarterstaff, spear, and halberd). These warriors focus on leap attacks at their enemies while quickly maneuvering around the battlefield.

Advantages:
– Moves 2 points faster than other characters.

– 3rd Level: May use the Chaotic Spring ability once per day and gains an additional use every 3 levels thereafter.

CHAOTIC SPRING: The Dragoon will instantly leap up to 15 feet away dealing piercing damage and stunning all targets for 2 seconds within 8 feet. The damage inflicted is equal to 1d6 per level of the Dragoon (up to a maximum of 10d6). A successful save vs. Death with a -2 penalty negates the stun and reduces all damage from the leap by half.

– 5th Level: Gains the Fleet of Foot passive ability.

FLEET OF FOOT: The Dragoon becomes immune to Grease, Entanglement, and Web effects.

– 7th Level: May use the Heaven's Thrust ability once per day and gains an additional use every 5 levels thereafter.

HEAVEN'S THRUST: The Dragoon will instantly leap up to 15 feet away dealing piercing damage to a single target. The damage inflicted is equal to 1d8 per level of the Dragoon (up to a maximum of 10d8), or half with a successful Saving Throw vs. Death at -2. Additionally, the hit target suffers 3 points of additional bleeding damage per round for 3 rounds.

– 10th Level: Gains the Arm's Length passive ability.

ARM'S LENGTH: The Dragoon becomes immune to most knockback and draw-in effects.

Disadvantages:
– May only attain Grandmaster in polearm weapons (quarterstaff, spear, and halberd) while all other weapons can only attain Proficient.
– May not wear armor heavier than splint mail.

Psi Warrior (5e inspired)

A Psi Warrior is a fighter who augments their physical might with psi-infused weapon strikes, telekinetic lashes, and barriers of mental force. Psi Warriors hone their skills and psionic abilities through solo discipline, unlocked under the tutelage of a master, or refined it at an academy dedicated to wielding the mind's power as both weapon and shield.

Advantages:
– 3rd Level: May use Psionic Strike once per day and gains an additional use every 4 levels thereafter.
– 3rd Level: May use Protective Field once per day and gains an additional use every 4 levels thereafter.

PSIONIC STRIKE: This ability allows the Psi Warrior to make a special attack against any enemy. Psi Warriors apply their Intelligence modifier to their damage roll for one round.
  13 Intelligence: +1 damage
  14 Intelligence: +2 damage
  15 Intelligence: +3 damage
  16 Intelligence: +4 damage
  17 Intelligence: +4 damage
  18 Intelligence: +5 damage
  19 Intelligence: +8 damage
  20 Intelligence: +9 damage
  21 Intelligence: +10 damage
  22 Intelligence: +11 damage
  23 Intelligence: +12 damage
  24 Intelligence: +13 damage
  25 Intelligence: +14 damage

PROTECTIVE FIELD: This ability increases the Psi Warrior's damage resistance based on his Intelligence modifier and lasts for one turn.
  13 Intelligence: +2% physical damage resistance
  14 Intelligence: +4% physical damage resistance
  15 Intelligence: +6% physical damage resistance
  16 Intelligence: +8% physical damage resistance
  17 Intelligence: +8% physical damage resistance
  18 Intelligence: +10% physical damage resistance

  24 Intelligence: +26% physical damage resistance
  25 Intelligence: +28% physical damage resistance

– 7th Level: May use Telekinetic Movement once per day and gains an additional use every 5 levels thereafter.

TELEKINETIC MOVEMENT: The Psi Warrior can move a creature with his mind. The Psi Warrior may select to push or pull the target to himself. The target must make a save vs. Death to resist being moved by the Psi Warrior. This increases to save vs. Death at -2 at level 14 and -4 at level 20 to resist being moved by the Psi Warrior.

– 10th Level: Gains the Guarded Mind passive ability.

GUARDED MIND: The Psi Warrior becomes immune to all psionic attacks, fear, and charm.

– 15th Level: May use Bulwark of Force once per day.

BULWARK OF FORCE: This ability grants 10% damage resistance for all allies within 15 feet of the Psi Warrior for one turn. Allies need to remain within 15 feet of the Psi Warrior to continue receiving this benefit, and the Psi Warrior does not have their own damage resistance improved from using this ability.

– 18th Level: May use Telekinetic Master once per day.

TELEKINETIC MASTER: The Psi Master is able to push or pull all targets within a 15' radius to a selected point. Targets must make a save vs. Death at -4 to resist being moved by the Psi Warrior.

Disadvantages:
– May not dual class.
– Receives a -2 max constitution penalty.

Shield Breaker

Shield Breakers are a specialized set of fighters whose main purpose is to break the ranks and defenses of an enemy front line. These fighters will rend and penetrate enemy armor and defenses to make them vulnerable, so their allies may exploit this newly exposed weakness. As a result, the Shield Breaker's attacks will not hit as hard since they are made to break armor and shields, not sever bones and sinew.

Advantages:
– Each successful hit has a 25% chance of bestowing a -10% cumulative reduction in the target's physical damage resistance that lasts for 4 rounds.
– 4th Level: May use Sunder ability once per day and gains an additional use every 4 levels thereafter.

SUNDER: The Shield Breaker sunders the earth before him striking all enemies within a 15-ft. radius. Enemies struck will receive 2d4 crushing damage, -25% reduction in physical damage resistance for 5 rounds, and falls to the ground for 3 seconds. A successful save vs. Death with a -4 penalty negates the fall.

NOTE: The reduction in physical damage resistance is not stackable with multiple uses of Sunder.

Disadvantages:
– Weapons receive a -2 penalty to all damage rolls.
– May not use ranged weapons.
– May not use shields.

Deathbringer (Prestige Kit)

Deathbringers are a special group of warriors of Bhaal trained in the art of intimidation and war. Those trained in the ways of the Deathbringer may fell their foes with a single blow, and every enemy slain at their hand fuels their rage and ferocity.. They are also a group of scattered cultists that are still trying to revive Bhaal, even though his essence is locked up in the Upper Planes.

Advantages:
– 15th Level: Gains the Carnage passive ability.

CARNAGE: When the Deathbringer slays an opponent, his rage and ferocity is fueled dealing an additional +10% physical damage for two rounds. This ability stacks with itself.

– 17th Level: Gains the Deathbringer Assault passive ability.

DEATHBRINGER ASSAULT: The Deathbringer has a 3% on hit of dealing an additional +200 slashing damage.

– 20th Level: May use the Savage Blows ability once per day and gains an additional use every 5 levels thereafter.

SAVAGE BLOWS: The Deathbringer's attacks for the next 10 seconds will progressively weaken any struck opponent. The hit target will lose 1 point of constitution per hit for the next 2 rounds.

Disadvantages:
– Alignment restricted to evil.
– May not dual class.

Please note, this prestige kit requires a player meet the following prerequisites:
– Must be the protagonist
– Character level 15 in pure class fighter
– No kits nor multi/dual classing
– Must have 18 or greater strength and constitution
– Must be evil alignment

Ranger

Rashemaar Berserker (Optional to assign to Minsc)

Sometimes referred to as Rashemi berserkers, are the legendary defenders of Rashemen that are known for flying into an almost supernatural frenzy on the battlefield. They are among the most respected members of Rashemi society, second to the revered Wychlaran.

Advantages:
– May use Rage ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter.

RAGE: The enraged state lasts for 1 turn. While enraged, a Berserker gains a bonus of +2 to his attack and damage rolls as well as to his Armor Class, and becomes immune to charm, confusion, fear, feeblemind, hold, imprisonment, level drain, maze, stun, and sleep. The Berserker also gains 15 temporary Hit Points which are taken away at the end of his berserk spree, possibly knocking him unconscious.

Disadvantages:
– Race restricted to human.
– May not use stealth.
– May not Specialize in ranged weapons.

Champion of the Wild (Kaedrin inspired)

Champions of the Wild embody discipline and skill and relies on quickness, agility, and an almost scholarly study of the most difficult and advanced techniques of swordplay instead of brute power. In order to become a Champion of the Wild, an initiate must excel in swordplay and exhibit patience, grace, and compassion. To take joy only in feat of arms is to live a crude and diminished life. There is more to life than fighting well, and the true champion knows this.

Advantages:
– May use Lay On Hands ability once per day to heal a target for 2 Hit Points per level of the Champion of the Wild.

– 2nd Level: Gains the Elegant Strike passive ability.

ELEGANT STRIKE: The Champion of the Wild becomes able to place attacks where they deal greater damage. The character applies his Dexterity bonus as a bonus on damage rolls (in addition to any Strength bonus he may have). Elegant Strike gains the following damage bonuses:

  17 Dexterity: +2 bonus to melee damage
  18 Dexterity: +2 bonus to melee damage

WRATH OF THE WILD: The Champion of the Wild gains the ability to briefly channel the divine power of a wild diety, enveloping his weapons in a veil of incandescent light. The character gains a +2 bonus to Thac0 and deals an extra 2d6 points of melee damage with each melee attack for 10 seconds.

– 6th Level: Gains the Superior Defense passive ability.

SUPERIOR DEFENSE: The Champion of the Wild learns special techniques for making the best use of his natural agility even while wearing restrictive armor. The character gains a +1 AC bonus at 6th level. At 9th level the bonus improves to +2 and at 12th level it increases to +3.

Disadvantages:
– Receives a -1 max strength penalty.
– May not wear armor heavier than studded leather.
– May only assign proficiency points in one-handed swords.
– May not charm animals.

Paladin

Champion of the Silver Flame

Champions of the Silver Flame are dedicated to fighting supernatural forces of evil and extraplanar threats. They are spiritual heroes who channel the power of the Silver Flame to ward off evil outsiders, destroy evil spirits, and smite the material forms of the forces of evil. They are paragons of good and stand as the bulwarks of faith between the darkness and the light.

Advantages:
– 1st Level: Gains the Blessing of the Champion passive ability.

BLESSING OF THE CHAMPION: A Champion of the Silver Flame dispenses the fury of the Silver Flame with <PRO_HISHER> weapons. The champion gains a +1 bonus to Thac0 and damage.

– 6th Level: Gains the Weapons of Flame passive ability.

WEAPONS OF FLAME: The Champion of the Silver Flame deals an extra +2 fire damage on a successful hit.

– 10th Level: Gains the Warding Flame passive ability.

WARDING FLAME: The Champion of the Flame bathes <PRO_HIMHER>self in silver flame gaining +2 bonus Armor Class and Saving Throws. In addition, <PRO_HESHE> gains Magic Resistance of 10% + character level.

– 16th Level: Gains the Weapons of Sacred Flame passive ability.

WEAPONS OF THE SACRED FLAME: The Champion of the Silver Flame further improves the Weapons of Flame and it now deals +1d6 fire damage on a successful hit.

Disadvantages:
– May not use ranged weapons.
– May not use the Lay On Hands ability.

Templar

Templars are the favored knights of their god, defending the faith more effectively than a steel wall. Templars function best when they have something to protect and are often the first line of defense in any party.

Advantages:
– Immune to hold and paralysis.
– Gains 5% resistance to crushing, slashing, piercing, and missile damage every 5 levels to a maximum of 20% at level 20.

– 3rd Level: May use the Mass Cure Wounds ability once per day and gains an additional use every 3 levels thereafter. The spell is cast at Speed Factor 1.

Disadvantages:
– May not turn undead.
– May not exceed Proficient (one slot) in ranged or two-handed weapons.

Mage

Archmage

Archmages are powerful, and usually quite old, spellcasters dedicated to the study of the arcane arts. Benevolent ones counsel kings and queens, while evil ones rule as tyrants and pursue lichdom. Those who are neither good nor evil sequester themselves in remote towers to practice their magic without interruption.

Advantages:
– Gains a +1 bonus to casting level.

– 18th Level: May use the Arcane Fire ability once per day and gains an additional use every 4 levels thereafter.

ARCANE FIRE: Archmage learns to channel arcane energy as a weapon, ensuring they are armed even when their spells run dry. This ability allows the Archmage to fire a pulse of magical energy that deals 1d6/class level damage to a single creature. Magic Resistance is bypassed by this ability.

– 21st Level: May use the Spell Weaver ability once per day.

SPELL WEAVER: The Archmage has developed an understanding of how magic works at its most fundamental level, and once per day may use Limited Wish as a spell like ability.  

– 23rd Level: The Archmage improves the Arcane Fire ability and it becomes Greater Arcane Fire. Any creature struck by the Archmage's Arcane Fire are also affected by a Dispel Magic effect.

– 25th Level: May use the Grand Mage ability once per day.

GRAND MAGE: Using this ability takes an entire round and allows the Archmage to rememorize any spent magic.

Disadvantages:
– May not dual class.

Please note, this prestige kit requires a player meet the following prerequisites:
– Must be the protagonist
– Character level 18 in pure class Mage (non-specialist)
– No kits nor multi/dual classing
– Must have 19 or greater intelligence
– Must have 15 or greater wisdom

Sorcerer

Eldritch Scion

Unlike typical mages, Eldritch Scions do not study tomes of magic or spend time learning to combine martial and magical skills. Rather, Eldritch Scions find that their spells and abilities come to them instinctively.

An Eldritch Scion gains most of the features of a Sorcerer while gaining access to more martial prowess.

Advantages:
– Hit Die: d8
– Can achieve Specialization (2 points) in any melee weapon.
– Can wear chain and scale mail armor (casting restrictions still apply).
– Custom Thaco progression that is a hybrid between fighter and sorcerer.
– Gains Enhance Weapon ability.

ENHANCE WEAPON: The Eldritch Scion passively imbues his melee weapon with magic dealing one extra point of magic damage. This magic damage increases by one for every five levels gained to a maximum of five magic damage at 20th level. Additional damage is affected by the target's magic resistance.

– 9th Level: Gains .5 APR.
– 16th Level: Gains an additional .5 APR.

Disadvantages:
– Receive a -2 penalty to casting speed.
– Receive a -2 penalty to casting level.

Multiclass

Stormlord (NWN2 Inspired - Optional to assign to Jaheira)

Stormlords wield thunder and lightning like a warrior wields his sword. Because of their command of one of the most destructive aspects of nature, Stormlords are viewed with awe and fear by lesser folk, regardless of their motivation.

Advantages:
– 1st Level: +1 to hit and damage rolls and gains an additional +1 to hit and damage rolls at 6th level and at 9th level.

– 3rd Level: May use Shock Weapon once per day and gains an additional use every 3 levels thereafter.

SHOCK WEAPON: The Stormlord adds 1d8 Electricity damage to their weapon for 2 turns.

– 4th Level: The Stormlord gains 25% immunity to electrical damage. This increases to 50% at level 8, 75% at level 12, and 100% at level 14.

Disadvantages:
– Restricted to Stormlord weapons (Spear, Throwing Axe, or Dart).
– Does not receive traditional Druid elemental resistances.

NOTE: Stormlords may take the axe proficiency but will only be able to use throwing axes.

Hey Morphy-Morph.

Don't these two components do the exact same thing?

1103: Install Stormlord Multiclass Kit for Fighter/Druids -> Do NOT assign kit to Jaheira

1100: [Install Stormlord Multiclass Kit for Fighter/Druids]

Both mean we install the kit without giving it to Jaheira, right?

[ahungry]

Cool idea - I just finished a reinstall with skills-and-abilities, so it'll probably be a bit before I try this one.

Are the listed kits completed, or WIP?

Do you have any more kit ideas?  Currently there doesn't seem to be much overlap with Artisan's Kitpack kits (nice!) - are you keeping any other common kit packs in mind as you dev with an eye for uniqueness?

One is strictly for IWDEE while the other is for the BG series with Jaheira. It doesn't make sense to ask about Jaheira if she is not present in the game is the only reason.

More incoming, just working through them as time allows.

[Fishmalk]

Good job on splitting this from Skills and Abilities, makes installing it much more convenient.

First impressions:

Psi Warrior: I like it. A mix of abilities giving bigger numbers and some hard to quantify utility. I would want to actually use it before recommending any changes, but my first impression is that Telekinetic Movement and Telekinetic Master, the unique things the kit can do, the player won't get to use very often.

Eldritch Scion: I like it too. Strong advantages and strong drawbacks. An elegant implementation of a fighter/sorcerer multi.

Rashemaar Berserker: A trueclass ranger that trades access to heavy armor for berserker rage. Functional, but I must object for one very petty reason: "full plate and packing steel" is one of Minsc's lines. Him being unable to wear full plate bothers me. In the case of Minsc specifically, I don't think it would break the balance of bg2 to just replace his innate rage with  berserker rage. Korgan would still have some considerable advantages over him.

Champion of the Wild: I am not a fan. It's a ranger pretending to be a paladin, with lots of free damage in a game where damage is already high enough that people can solo Legacy of Bhaal with warriors. Melee damage from dex is just rewarding the player further for having high stats they want to have high anyway, very different from the Psi Warrior's Psionic Striker which runs off a stat players otherwise wouldnt care about getting over 16, and needs to be used every round so it is much harder to stack with HLAs. Plenty strong, but in my eyes equally unnecessary.

Battle Master: Despite its name, it looks much more inspired by the Champion (or Brute) than the Battle Master. The 5e Battle Master had a pool of abilities that offered control, utility, and damage. This Battle Master can cast improved haste on himself in exchange for being limited to 2handers. It's a very strong ability, especially for how early you get it and how often it can be used, but I don't think your kit lives up to its namesake. Granted, implementing into bg2 something closer in ability to the battle master would take a fair amount of work, but I honestly think your Psi Warrior kit is closer to it than your Battle Master.

Shield Breaker: I'm not sure I'd ever play with it, but it works. The name and description makes me think of the historical Forlorn Hope, who tended to carry large two-handed weapons to break shield walls and other formations. A pity you've already exhausted your budget for 2hander-focused kits. The passive ability of course favors more attacks, which favors dual wielding (like everything else does). Sunder is very strong, though I think it could stand to have its damage scale a bit. I also think it would be fine for this kit to have access to shields.

Sunder is also the kind of ability I would want the Battle Master to have in its toolbox, though as-is Sunder is probably too strong for how often it can be used.

Stormlord: Enough free damage makes up for any weapon restrictions, and the Stormlord gets more than enough to manage until the elemental transformation HLAs. I'd actually consider going with darts, which getting 4-12 extra damage from the kit complements their very high base APR. The electrical resistance is nice to have, probably an upgrade from the regular druid resists on a multi which would take a very long time to get them. Jaheira might be the one exception since she gets electric immunity from her harper pin.

This is strong, but I'm not sure why it exists as all. Talos is as far from balance and harmony as possible, and we already have a cleric kit for priests of talos. I think this would make much more sense as a fighter/cleric kit with access to a few thematic spells that clerics don't normally have, like call lightning.

This is good feedback, thank you. I'll take a look at some of your concerns, and hopefully have some solutions to shore them up. I had a knockdown/trip attack the Battle Master originally had, but I moved it into my fighter overhaul component in skills and abilities. As it's not released, I can easily give this back to the Battle Master for yet more abilities.

Champion of the Wild and Stormlord are both taken from NWN2. I haven't given the Champion of the Wild as much attention as the others, so I can definitely provide it more focus.

I have a couple Paladin kits in the works, and a new fighter kit: Dragoon. This will be a polearm master with faster movement, ability to hamper enemy movement, and a percentage change to deal damage (scales with level) and knock the enemy back a few feet.

[morpheus562]

@FishmalkAdded Trip Attack to Battle Master and adjusted the frequency they will gain Relentless Assault. I also added the Dragoon kit above. This is still rough and I need to figure out more penalties for this character.

For Rashemaar Berserker, Minsc was saying his famous line while in splint mail and all media images released of Minsc is in splint mail. I don't think I've seen anything official where he is wearing something heavier.

Edited November 4, 2022 by morpheus562

[Graion Dilach]

I think Jim Zub allows Minsc to wear plate in his comics, but that's 5e.

[morpheus562]

What would an appropriate disadvantage be for Rashemaar Berserker if he did gain access to full plate?

[Fishmalk]

For Minsc, I think losing stealth would be appropriate.

[morpheus562]

Just took a look and losing stealth is very doable. I can get that update in before release. I'm thinking of making it so the kit can only get proficient (1 pip) in ranged weapons instead of specialized (2 pips).

Edited November 4, 2022 by morpheus562
