Cleric/Thief change

[yarpen]

Hey can you create something which fix Cleric'Thief weapon restriction to thief restricition. It's can a optional component! I like Cleric/Thief's but i want to making backstabss!!

[NiGHTMARE]

Easy .

 

COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP GLOB ~^.+\.itm$~ ~override~
 READ_BYTE  0x1f "useoneb"
 READ_BYTE  0x20 "useonec"
 PATCH_IF ("%useonec%" BAND 0b01000000) = 0x01000000) BEGIN // if usable by thieves
   WRITE_BYTE 0x1f ("%useoneb%" BAND 0b11111101) // make usable by cleric/thieves
 END
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

Nope. Multi-class and single class flags are seperate.

A Cleric/Thief can already backstab. Just use any melee weapon that a single classed thief could use. As has been pointed out before, there is a staff in TOB that has something like a +12 damage modifier. This will give the biggest backstab in the game. That is a minimum of 65 damage at x5 multiplier, ouch.

[NiGHTMARE]

I thought you could only backstab with one-handed weapons?

You can always use the staff maze from the guy who opens Bodhi's lair.

No, you can with quarterstaves.

 

NiGHTMARE, is there any PnP precedent for multiclass Cleric-Thieves having laxer weapon restrictions?

[NiGHTMARE]

Well, the Player's Handbook says "regardless of his other classes, a multi-classed priest must abide by the weapon restrictions of his mythos. Thus, a fighter/cleric can use only bludgeoning weapons (but he uses the warrior combat value). He retains all his normal priest abilities." However, the PHb also allows for changing almost anything about a cleric depending on the mythos he follows; weapon restrictions, spells, powers and ethos.

 

Since only gnomes can be cleric/thieves, it's also worth noting that four of the eight gnomish speciality priests are allowed to wield any weapon, one can wield any non-bludgeoning weapon, one can wield any metallic weapon, and the other two can both wield daggers and several piercing or slashing weapons.

[Guest Guest]

I think 1/2 orcs can be Cl/Th also.

[NiGHTMARE]

Good point, I'd forgotten about half-orcs . Three of the six orc speciality priests may wield any weapon, one can wield any weapon a thief can use, one can wield any small melee or ranged weapon, and only one is restricted to bludgeoning weapons.

But can you upgrade Cleric thief??

 

- available for half-elves and elves...

- using thief restriction (i know it's no PnP but it's optional!)

[Andyr]

Opening it up to other races is harcoded, or else I'd have done it (and also opened up bards) already.

 

I am tempted by the weapon-use thing, actually. I had meant to talk to Cam about the possiblity of differing weapon restrictions for Clerics of various deities in Divine Remix at some point, so we'll see.

[yarpen]

Hmm... race restrictions aren't in some 2DA files?

[NiGHTMARE]

Unfortunately not.
