[BG2EE] 2 questions on Shapeshifter kit and Anthology wep proficiency compatibility

[Brogan]

1.  Are Shapeshifters supposed to benefit from Fighting Style bonuses? Currently in beta 13, if you give a Human Shapeshifter 2 pips in Single Weapon Style, while in Werewolf form it lists the Weapon Style Bonuses at the bottom of the Info screen with the -2 Thac0, -4 AC, -2 Mis Adj, and +1 Crit, and while the Inventory screen does not show the words Wep Style in the AC and Thac0 modules, the bonuses are present.

2. Are the components "true grandmastery [Baldurdash]" and "Everyone Gets Bonus APR from Specialization" from Tweaks Anth v16 compatible with ToF's systems, and if so should they be installed above or below ToF?  (The GM tweak adds back bonuses going from 4 to 5 pips, and the APR seems to provide the bonus to all classes.)

Can these fixes be pre-installed above my modlist (including quest, restoration, item, tweaks, as well as TA, ToF, and SCS) and are they for the most part compatible?

edit: Yikes.  Tried a test install: fresh BG2EE, EEFixpack, then ToF.  Created a Shapeshifter.  After the first level up, cannot Shapeshift.  Stays human, no Werewolf stats, bonuses, etc.  So I assume something in those Core Fixes/Textual Fixes (and something about Temporary test space) broke the ToF coding for Werewolf form?

Edit:  OK, so will NOT be using eefixpack.  Ignore this part.

Bumping this to ensure visibility. 

Note: At level 8, an Earth Genasi Shapeshifter can achieve an AC of -10 before any rings/amulets, etc, by way of:

Level 7 - Full Werewolf form: AC1 (-4 @level 13, -8 @level 19)

Earth Genasi trait: +2 Armor Class

Shapeshifter DEX 16:  -3 AC (goes to 20 at level 13, so -6 w/ the Revised bonus system)

2 points of Dodge  +2 AC bonus

2 pips in Single Weapon Style: +4 AC bonus

Please stop bumping things (at least, not till it's three months and three releases later!)

But to answer the question: I didn't intend single weapon style to help shapeshifted creatures. I'll see if it's blockable.

There isn't a simple solution to this: at the least it's going to have to wait until a later version.
