PS:T "Higher Stacking" Tweak Component

[Guest ktchong]

I installed the Planescape: Torment Tweak Pack, the "Higher Stacking" component. I played the game and noticed a minor problem with the tweak component.

 

Originally, the "Dustman Embalming Charm, Minor" is not stackable, and each minor charm has 3 charges. After installing the tweak component, the charm becomes stackable, and each individual charm has 1 charge. So the tweak component splits each charm (with 3 charges) into 3 separate charms (each with 1 charge.)

 

Here is the problem: the item descriptions still say each charm has 3 charges. So now the tweak component has caused the item descriptions to have an inaccuracy. My guess is this happens to every item that has more than one charge.

Here is a suggestion: I think it is better to not mess with items that has multiple charges in its descriptions. As the tweak component makes those items become stackable, their original descriptions become inaccurate. (Unless you guys want to change the item descriptions as well.)

I searched through the Item Listing in the game at GameFAQ. It seems like only the Minor and Greater Dustman Embalming Charm note the number of charges (=3 each) in their item descriptions. Here are the item descriptions for the Dustman Charms. I highlight the part of the descriptions regarding the charge number:

 

DUSTMAN EMBALMING CHARM, GREATER

Invokes: "Embalming, Greater"

3 Charges

Weight: 0

Usable only on Nameless One and Morte

 

This intricate metal bracelet has directions inscribed on the side of it.

Judging from the text, it appears that the bracelet works by being held by a

living creature, then while pronouncing a mantra to the 'True Death,' it is

touched to the forehead of a zombie or skeleton. When this is done, the

enchantment held within the item spreads through the corpse, strengthening

their bones, killing traces of corpse rot and/or grave mold, and helping to

seal minor tears in the skin.

 

It appears that this bracelet has been forged with a great deal of skill and

care. Presumably it is more powerful than some of the standard embalming

charms.

 

 

DUSTMAN EMBALMING CHARM, LESSER

Invokes: "Embalming, Minor"

3 Charges

Weight: 0

Usable only on Nameless One and Morte

 

This strange metal bracelet has directions inscribed on the side of it. Judging

from the crude text, it appears that the bracelet works by being held by a

living creature, then while pronouncing a mantra to the 'True Death,' it is

touched to the forehead of a zombie or skeleton. When this is done, the minor

enchantment held within the item spreads through the corpse, strengthening

their bones, killing traces of corpse rot and/or grave mold, and helping to

seal minor tears in the skin.

 

NOTE: This item will work on either you or Morte. Simply place it in your quick

item slot, then use it from the quick menu on Morte (or have Morte use it on

you) in order for it to take effect. When cast, the target gains +2-8 temporary

hit points and a temporary bonus of +1 AC for a "half-hour." The extra hit

points will heal the target if he is less than max hit points or they will give

him bonus hit points for a half-hour.

There are other items with descriptions that *suggests* they have multiple charges, but the descriptions are not really specific. I have not gotten those other items in the game, so I do not know if the Tweak Pack splits the charges number into multiple items. For example, Maslow's Pyramid supposedly has 33 charges. I wonder if the Tweak Pack splits the pyramid into 33 separate items.

 

MASLOW'S PYRAMID

Special:

Reduces Fatigue

Reduces Intoxication

Heals 9 Hit Points

Weight: 7

 

Maslow's Pyramid removes the need for food and drink, and also deadens the

user's feelings toward pain. It initially holds thirty-three charges, which can

remove fatigue remove intoxication effects, and heal a character for nine

points of damage per charge.

 

 

Many tattoos also have charges, but I don't think the Tweak Pack affects tattoos. If the Tweak Pack affects tattoos, then we are going to have a problem with tattoos as well.
