Anomen, generic Fighter->Cleric has these bugs/oversights in my game:

Protection From Evil 10' Radius appears in both Level 3 and Level 4

No Protection From Good 10' Radius

Negative Plane Protection appears in both Levels 3 and 4

In addition to having major access to all spheres, he appears to also have a bonus spell of each level: When it came time for him to gain access to Level 7 spells, he gained 2 slots where I would expect there to be only 1.

 

In the default installation, the spells that Anomen learned while Neutral were not removed upon his becoming Good, thus making it possible to have a Lawful Good Cleric casting Unholy Blight and Unholy Word. Also, default Viconia is able to cast Holy Smite, possibly because BioWare decided that she would suck without it. What is DR's take on these issues?

Just as information, in the unmodded game, a PC cleric, regardless of alignment, learns both Holy Smite and Unholy Blight. The same is true of Anomen and Viconia. Aerie's inability to cast Unholy Blight is the anomaly.

Negative Plane Protection appears in both Levels 3 and 4

Does another mod modify these spells?

 

No Protection From Good 10' Radius

Nice catch--a typo in the sphere file was preventing this from appearing.

Trueclass clerics get an extra memorization slot at (spell) levels 4+ to make up for having no kit innates and not receiving holy symbols.

Viconia's a bug. Anomen is addressed by both Fixpack and DR; Viconia will be addressed by Fixpack and is already addressed by DR.

As we determined from the thread in the Fixpack forum, these spells are indeed alignment-restricted--this is a weird anomaly on Kish's game. Evil PCs do not recieve Holy Smity or Holy Word; good PCs do not receive Unholy Blight or UNholy Word. The engine, however, simply prevents these spells from being added based on the character's alignment. If a later alignment change should prevent these spells from being granted, the engine does not go back and retroactively remove them. DR actively removes these spells, so if alignment changes, the spells get adjusted to reflect the new alignment.
