Bartimaeus, Double-checking : Store Revisions is not compatible w/ BGEE 2.6.6? SKIPPING: [Store Revisions] This component is not compatible with your game.

Subtledoctor, I assume the "Advance Weapon Proficiency" buttons on the Special Ability screen come from "Scales of Balance"? If so, why does Montaron have 3 buttons if he already has 4 proficiencies? Shouldn't he have a total of 5 for being a Fighter?

Gotcha. So would you retrofit the existing NPC's with these new rules? For example, would Kagain (INT 15) receive an additional 3 proficiencies (for a total of 7)? Or Isra the Paladin (INT 13) receive an additional 2 (for a total of 6)?

Interesting - So I'm assuming this rule is no longer in effect? "However, unusually warriors with an INT score of 14+ receive a "focus training" ability allowing them to specialize in 1 weapon immediately. (NOTE - the focus weapon ability will only appear in EE games of version 1.4 or higher.) And trueclass fighters automatically get an additional weapon of focus, regardless of INT. "

Also, are non-mage classes supposed to start with 5 weapon proficiencies? FIRST_LEVEL RATE MAGE 3 50 FIGHTER 5 3 CLERIC 5 5 THIEF 5 4 BARD 5 4 PALADIN 5 3 DRUID 5 5 Component 122 documentation states: "Warriors, rogues, and priests start with 4 proficiency points; wizards, sorcerers, and shamans start with 3."

Subtledoctor, I was surprised to see that my new druid had 13hp at level 1. Then, I took a peek at the .2da's in Scales of Balance\stats: hpprs.2da SIDES ROLLS MODIFIER 1 10 1 6 Was it your intention to boost initial HP? Looks like everyone got a boost: hpwar.2da SIDES ROLLS MODIFIER 1 14 1 0

Correct - I did not install SoD. Thanks for quick response.

Oh Wow! I wasn't aware of all the behind-the-scenes calculations - Thank you.

Also, XP values are off (and I've got XPMOD reducing by 50%):

What are the intended HPs for each spider type? Also, from a Near Infinity perspective, do the THAC0 reflect the HD increase? For example, Huge Spiders natively have THAC0 = 16. Should NI look like this? Or this?

Also, documentation states: "The exact bonus can be configured in the .ini file (default +3 to hd/thac0/saves, +4 to AC)." But .ini file only contains settings for HD & AC (not THAC0/saves): spider_hd_bonus=3 spider_ac_bonus=4

Angel, Just installed "Revised Monstrous Spiders: v4", and now Huge Spiders in Beregost have 142 HP! Is that supposed to be the case?

That got me thinking - Why are Kobold Guards coded with the old school proficiencies: And Kobold Commandos with Effects (i.e., 233's)?

Subtledoctor, Just curious - Was it your intention to play "Weapon Proficiency Overhaul (WPO): Overall Overhaul" in combination with "WPO: Weapon Category Combination"? In other words, was it your intention to have a Fighter w/ INT 13 (7 Proficiency points) choose from the combined list: Greatswords Club/Mace Bows Or the original list: Two-handed swords Bastard swords Clubs Maces Long bows Short bows Thanks.

Hi Bartimaeus, Thanks for fixing the Sunscorch - Much appreciated. Attached is "sppr116.spl" from the override folder. sppr116.spl

David, Thank you so much for all your hard work - Much appreciated.

Angel, Please add documentation in GitHub - What do the Tweaks do? Made in Heaven - Tweaks A collection of tweaks for Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Introduction Version History Version 1 - August 4 2021 Initial version

Subtledoctor, Not to hijack the thread, but since we're on the topic of 3E stats - Just curious how you came up with your version of 3E Constitution? "Everyone gets an extra hit point at 15 CON and 16 CON (like vanilla), and warriors get an extra hit point at 18 CON. Everyone also gets an extra hit point at 20, 22, and 24 CON (so stat-boosting spells and effects can actually increase non-warriors' hit points)." 15 : +1 16 : +1 18 : +1 (warriors) 20 : +1 22 : +1 24 : +1

From subtledoctor's Scales of Balance (which I personally use):

Bartimaeus, When you play with 3E-style stats, do you adjust NPC scores to keep consistent? For example, Safana with a 13 Strength would receive 0 THAC0/0 Damage in 2E - but +1/+2 in 3E. Do you reduce her Strength to 10 or 11 so she continues to receive 0/0?

My bad - should have read better: "Her helmet, which she refuses to remove even when ordered" How about the poison resistance?

Looks like the "droppable" flag is unset: Also, the description doesn't say anything about poison resistance - is that a hidden feature?

Subtledoctor, Just want to clarify additional weapon proficiencies. Component 122 states: "Warriors receive up the 3 more proficiencies, chosen by dialogue, if their INT score is 11 (+1), 12 (+2), or 13 (+3)." So a Fighter with INT 11 would receive 5 proficiencies, in total. But in Component 200, the Intelligence table states: In other words, a Fighter with INT 11 gets no extras (and thus 4 total). Additionally, where do Bards fit in? 4 to start? "Warriors, rogues, and priests start with 4 proficiency points; wizards, sorcerers, and shamans start with 3."
