Keeping Yoshimo is now available for EE and Mac! (spoiler for newbies to BG2)

$

Warning: If you have never played BG2 there is a pretty major spoiler here. For the ideal gaming experience I would recommend that you back out of this thread now and play the game first, then return here afterward if you're curious about this mod.

At long last, thanks to @CrevsDaak the Gibberlings 3 mod Keeping Yoshimo is now available at Gibberlings 3 for download for BG2EE, both PC and Mac. In a nutshell, this mod
  • allows players to keep Yoshimo for the entire saga
  • adds dialogue re: Yoshi's betrayal of the PC (his spying b/c Irenicus' Geas)
  • adds an entirely new subplot for Yoshi with dialgoues and an encounter
  • adds a Tree of Life dialogue for Yoshimo
The download link on the page linked above will be updated in a day or two. But it will direct to this thread which provides the latest download and version updates, and links to report bugs and compatibility issues with other mods.

This mod has modest aims. Basically, it allows you to keep Yoshimo to the end of ToB. In order to do that a new story was created, a subplot for Yoshimo if you will. It consists of dialogues about why Yoshimo cannot join you for your excursion to Spellhold. Yoshimo removes himself from the party in Brynlaw and then rejoins the party after you have completed Spellhold. We also decided to add an encounter (battle) just for fun. The mod also includes the option to change Yoshimo's alignment to Chaotic Good.

If you can give this mod a go and provide feedback either at the G3 forum or here if that's easier for you, we will greatly appreciate it!

Major props to @CrevsDaak for taking this on. The mod has languished in Alpha status at G3 for the last five years due to lack of a coder, and Crevs graciously stepped up to update it for EE and Mac. I wish we could give him a boatload of promotes for it, but he clearly deserves at least one!

Getting the SQL server error. I hear it happens frequently. Anyone know when the site is back up so I can mod the 2.5 EE games now? "An error occured with the SQL server"

[Request] Beamdog's BAM anim 3D->2D tool

$

If I remember correctly during one of recent live streams (or maybe it was AMA?) one of the Beamdog devs mentioned that the only new internal tool developed for SoD was a program (macro?) that is able to auto rotate 3d model/position model viewer camera, in order to take snapshots of it, making creature anim conversion from 3D to 2D BAM format easier. It was mentioned that the tool could be released for modders if there is any interest in it.

@JuliusBorisov, please ask the dev team for a link. Let's get it before this useful peace of code is forever lost.

[mod] Tresset had a whim: Improved Comet

$
0
0
As a result of this short discussion on the very similar HLA spells Comet and Dragon's Breath I made a very quick and simple mod that makes Comet much more worth using and, quite likely, more useful than Dragon's Breath even.

To install simply extract the all the contents of the zipped folder into your Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition directory (inside the folder with the baldur.exe and the override folder) and run the "Tresset_Comet-setup" file and follow the on screen instructions.

The changes I have made to the spell:
1. Damage increased to 10d10 fire damage and 5d10 crushing damage (still no save).
2. Damage now bypasses magic resistance.
3. Stun duration shortened to 1 round and save removed (no save).

Since this is the first mod of mine that I have actually released to the public, I would really appreciate some feedback as to how I can package my future mods better.

Enjoy!

Where can I download the Saerileth mod? [SOLVED]

YES, I know 99.99% of people on this site hate it, but I still would like to have the opportunity to try it out for myself.

I've come across a few supposed download links, but they only lead to dead ends.

Anyone aware of a current hosting site?

EDIT: NVM, I found it on here, along with a bunch of other DL links, in case anyone's interested:

[MOD] -Scales of Balance- a post-hac tweak mod

$
0
0
THIS MOD IS deprecated REVIVED!!

https://github.com/UnearthedArcana/Scales_of_Balance/releases

This new version basically just has some improved versions of the overhaul and tweak components that have been residing in Might 'n' Guile for the last few months:

- Item/Weapon Overhaul (in 5 parts)
- Weapon Proficiency Overhaul (in 4 parts)
- Saving Throw Overhaul
- Stat bonus tweaks (in 2 parts)
- Hit dice tweaks (2 options)
- XP tweaks (in 2 parts)
- Magic Resistance Overhaul

That's it!

Full Readme:

https://github.com/UnearthedArcana/Scales_of_Balance/blob/master/README.md
...

If you like the SoB cleric and druid kits, you can still find those at the link for v4.3:

https://github.com/subtledoctor/Scales_of_Balance/releases/tag/4.3.2

But really, those are totally old and busted. Instead of using them, you should ask me for a copy of the Faiths & Powers beta. Even now, in beta form, it's miles better! :)

Btw, part of the reason for breaking things up this way has to do with load order. Might 'n' Guile as usual should be installed after other kits but before SCS. This new version of Scales of Balance should be installed very very late: especially if you use the MRO, that should be installed after all mods that add creatures and items. So after SCS, and after aTweaks.

Cheers!

Again, to recap what's happened since v3: my single old mod got too big and unwieldy, and I also got better at this stuff and wanted to do more. So the old Scales of Balance has been broken up into a number of other mods:

README:
You can read all about the mod components here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86011511/README-SoB.html

What is this?
This started out as my own personal set of tweaks that I did on top of a fully modded game. It includes some basic mechanical tweaks (e.g. modified stat bonuses and an overhaul of the proficiency system), some cosmetic changes (e.g. FR-themed paladin kit names, and magic items that don't break immersion by putting '+2's and '+5's in your face), and roughly 15 new kits.

This is all about improving gameplay.
I love mods that bring the game closer to PnP, like Rogue Rebalancing and aTweaks. But BG is a single-player computer game. If tweaking a rule makes this specific game more fun, then it's a good tweak, PnP be damned. Consider this mod as a collection of 'house rules' specific to the BG campaign. Every choice has been made with an eye to the particular gameplay mechanics of BG2 and the EEs.

I try to make this as compatible as possible with other mods.
Notwithstanding the above paragraphs, this mod is 100% compatible with RR and aTweaks. This is meant to be applied alongside those mods - not instead of them.

Everything is completely optional.
You can use as many or as few of the mod components as you like. None of them rely on each other, there is no 'core' component. Use what you like, ignore what you don't.

A very general idea of what the mod contains (not in this order):

1) Basic game tweaks. These components modify the following:
- reducing the number of +'s in in-game item descriptions, and standardizing item enchantment into normal, 'mastercraft,' 'enchanted' (+2), named weapons (+3), and artifacts (+5)
- slightly improved stat bonuses, saving throw tables, HP tables, XP tables, and spell tables
- an overhaul of the weapon proficiency system
- minor tweaks and rebalancing for vanilla warriors, rogues, and divine classes
- revised kensai kit that actually specializes in one weapon class, like the description says
- MAJOR revisions to druid shapeshifting
- wizards class changes, including at-will cantrips, innate metamagic, and tweaks to the spell battle system
- MAJOR specialist wizard kit and spell school changes, making all 8 specialists fun and unique

2) New kits, all balanced against the vanilla game and based on solid, lore-friendly 2E and FR sources.
- 2 new fighter kits (Corsair, Marksman)
- 4 new ranger kits (Mage Hunter, Barbarian Ranger, Elven Archer, Halfling Slinger)
- 7 new cleric kits (priests of Selune, Sune, Tymora, Leira, Shar, Malar, Baervan Wildwanderer)
- 2 new druid kits (Purifier, Elementalist)
- 2 new thief kits (Scout, Sniper)
- 5 new bard kits (Jongleur, Loremaster, Gallant, Meistersinger, Loresinger of Milil)
- 10 new multiclass kits! (Bladesinger, Spellfilcher, Spellbender, multiclass priests of Mask, Mystra, Arvoreen and Brandobaris, and more)

3) NPC modifications. These components allow you to apply some of the new kits, or some original kits, to various NPCs. (This is basically for EE players who can't use the Level1NPCs mod.)


A note on installation:
- Install SoB after almost everything else. After BG2Tweaks, after SCS, after aTweaks. The only stuff that should be installed after this are FPPS, Generalized Biffing, NPC_EE, Level1NPCs, lolfixer, etc. Not much.

BG1 Unfinished Business v15.2

0
BG1 Unfinished Business ("BG1UB") is a mod designed to restore many of the cut items, quests, and encounters from the original Baldur's Gate game's final release, as well as try to tie up some of the "loose ends."

https://github.com/AstroBryGuy/bg1ub/releases/latest

Note: Some of the BG1UB components are blocked from installing, as they are included or superceded by BGEE. Here is a list of components that can be installed on BGEE:
Ice Island Level Two Restoration
The Mysterious Vial
Finishable Kagain Caravan Quest
Coran and the Wyverns*
Kivan and Tazok
Branwen and Tranzig
Place Entar Silvershield in His Home
Scar and the Sashenstar's Daughter
Quoningar, the Cleric
Shilo Chen and the Ogre-Magi
Edie, the Merchant League Applicant
Creature Corrections
Creature Restorations
Creature Name Restorations
Minor Dialog Restorations
Store, Tavern and Inn Fixes and Restorations**
Item Corrections and Restorations
Prism and the Emeralds Tweak
Duke Eltan in the Harbor Master's Building
Nim Furlwing Encounter
Svlast the Fallen Paladin
Mal-Kalen the Ulcaster Revenant
***Chapter 6 Dialog Restorations

*Superceded in BGEE v2.x
**Most of this component is already included in BGEE.
***New component for v15

NOTE: if you're installing both BG1UB and BG1NPC, BG1NPC has its own versions of the following components: Finishable Kagain Caravan Quest, Coran and the Wyverns, Kivan and Tazok, Branwen and Tranzig. If you install BG1UB first, do NOT install these components since BG1NPC does not detect BG1UB. If you install BG1UB after BG1NPC, it will detect BG1NPC and skip these components.

Also, Northern Tales of the Sword Coast and Jarl's Adventure Pack contain alternate restorations of Nim Furlwing and Svlast. BG1UB will skip those components if those other mods' components are present.

BG1NPC v23.3

BG1NPC Project has been updated and officially released with BGEE compatibility!

BG1NPC Project
This mod expands on the depth of character and levels of interaction with the NPCs from the BG game. When BG2 was released, one of the major improvements in many peoples' eyes was the increased level of interaction one could have with the party members. This mod was developed to allow BG players a similar experience. NPCs in your party now have banters with the PC , with each other, and small side-quests of their own. As we were unable to get the original character voice actors to voice all the new lines, we instead sought out music appropriate to each NPC to be played whenever they initiate banter. This musical package is a separate, optional package (to keep the download size down).

Project Website: http://www.gibberlings3.net/bg1npc/
Download: https://github.com/Gibberlings3/BG1NPC/releases/latest
README: http://www.gibberlings3.net/readmes/readme-bg1npc.html


Note for Steam/GOG users with SoD installed: Before installing BG1NPC or any other mods, you will need to use the ModMerge utility to make your game moddable.

* Updated Shar-Teel romance to NOT detect a Blackguard as a Paladin.
* Added NPC-only items (x#ajshld, p#bow) to item_use.2da in BGEE.
* Pink Xan portrait updates for BGEE
* Alora starts in Gullykin AND the Hall of Wonders bug in BGEE
* Colquetle Family Amulet Fix for BGEE
* Updates to Dynaheir's Journal Quest, Jaheira's Quest, Garrick's Quest, and Montaron's interjection with Ender Sai to enable journal entries to work in BGEE.
* Adding fixes for Safana-Dorn and Tiax-Dorn dialogs preventing PIDs from firing.
* Fix area scripts for AR2400 and AR2900 to not continuously fire when the variable TazokSays = 1. This was preventing blocks added by BG1NPC from firing.
* Updated to WeiDU v237
* German translation available (Teiluebersetzung vom Kerzenburgforum, teilweise noch in englisch,http://kerzenburg.baldurs-gate.eu/)
* Polish translation available (Tlumaczenie przez Children of Bhaal, http://athkatla.cob-bg.pl/viewtopic.php?t=5734)
* General coding updates to modern WeiDU standards (e.g., using GAME_IS instead FILE_EXISTS for game type checks)
* Updated cross-platform libraries with latest fixes for all platforms. (Jastey)
* New variable %tazokminhp% to account for different anti-death items used in Tutu vs. BGT vs BGEE.
* New variable %RunAwayFrom% for scripts to use action "RunAwayFrom()" in Tutu/BGT and new action "RunAwayFromNoLeaveArea() in BGEE.
* Move dialog changes for Coran Wyvern quest from x#jfix_X and x#bgreplace_X to new x#corwyv_X.d files.
* Block Shar-Teel/Tiax banter until Chapter 4, since it references the Iron Throne.
* BG1NPC romances won't start while CHARNAME is wearing the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity for compatibility with BG1 Romantic Encounters mod.
* Reordered dialog actions to place EscapeArea() command last. * Reordered Dynaheir, Branwen, Coran, Xan, and Shar-Teel dream script triggers to prevent crashes when NPC is dead while resting. (Jastey)
* Ajantis Romance/SCS Wait at Inns component incompatibility fix.
* Added macro ~source_cre_sound_cleanup~ to CRE blocks for cleanup.
* Update Jozzi Seasnake (#seasn) to use Nereid soundset (all platforms).
* Update x#garwyl to use GHAST sounds like a spectre (all platforms).
* Imoen's dialog regarding Gorion's body no longer requires CHARNAME to be holding Gorion's letter. Her script triggers the dialog by the party picking up the letter, but in the time it takes her to walk to CHARNAME, it was possible to read and drop the letter, leaving her unable to initiate the proper dialog.
* Imoen's dialog on Laryssa will no longer interrupt Brage's script to return the party to Nashkel.
* At the Bandit Camp, if Tazok was engaged in combat too quickly, Kivan could be left trying to initiate dialog with him. This dialog would fire after the combat, with Tazok possibily dead. Kivan no longer attempts dialog with Tazok after Tazok is dead.
* Updates for Tiax's Quest to close open quest entries at their conclusions.
* Moved Minsc/Dynaheir interjection with Thalantyr into a new stand-along banter with Dynaheir
* Xan's interjection with Mulahey was copying a "ChangeEnemyAlly(Myself,NEUTRAL)" command to Xan since there is no pass back. Changed to ICT2 to prevent issue.
* Added checks to Imanel Silversword's script to prevent dialog from re-initiating and stop dialog from initiating during battle.
* Montaron was being sent to Minsc's "goto" location in the Elfsong Tavern rather than the Low Lantern with Xzar by BG1NPC's Wait at Inns component. Updating to send Montaron to Low Lantern.
* In Tutu, when refusing Cythandria's surrender, Dynaheir will turn hostile. Danaher's interjection is inheriting an Enemy() action from Cythandria. Only affects Tutu, Cythandria's dialogue state 6 has an "Enemy()" action which is not present in BG:EE and BGT. Solution is to remove the Enemy action() in Tutu.
* Kivan gives his reaction to Prism's death upon entering the Nashkel Mines area even if he wasn't in the party when Prism died. Adding a See("prism") check to script block in kivan.bcs. That should prevent the trigger from firing long after Prism is dead (and the corpse is removed).
* Safana's response to PID option "Do you have any advice, Safana?" References Narlen Darkwalk, even in Chapter 1. Corrected triggers to not show this response until after Narlen has been encountered.
* Correcting "Bruno" DV in x#yeint2.baf. (MadMate)
* Updated item slots for x#david and x#dragon to place items in correct slots. (MadMate)
* The XZNI1.6 dialog in xzint.d has an issue with the conditions. If Montanan is in the party, alive, but disabled (e.g., held, panicked, etc..), the dialog cannot continue. Updating the second transition condition to be "OR(3) !InParty("montaron") !InMyArea("montaron") StateCheck("montaron",CD_STATE_NOTVALID)" which is the opposite of the first transition, ensuring one branch can fire.
* Updates to Coran's Succubus Quest
* Updates to close open quest journal entries at quest conclusion. Added "close quest" journal entries.
* If you refuse the quest initially, Coran no longer becomes instantly "charmed" before he has been given the roses. He has a more appropriate reaction to your refusal of Amelia.
* Scripting updates to account for players force-attacking Amelia. Amelia will now turn hostile and attack the party. If Natan has not been talked to, remove him if Amelia is force-attacked (quest is aborted). If Natan has been talked to, increment X#CoranSuccubus to 13 to allow quest to complete.
* Coran will now become "charmed" by Amelia when in her presence if Natan is "charmed" (i.e., has been shown the roses).
* Amelia was a very difficult battle for BG1, so she has been toned-down to be more appropriate for BG1.
* HP, THAC0, AC, Saving throws updated to be in line with PnP succubus stats.
* Only immune to non-magical weapons
* On BGEE (or Tutu/BGT installs with 1PP Wings), Amelia's combat appearance now has wings (defaults to previous fire elemental appearance on installations without 1PP Wings).
* Updated combat script, inspired by Kirinhale's from TotSC
* Many dialog typo fixes.

Sheena - The Half Dragon Tale

Sheena's story begins in Firkraag's lair at level 8-10 in a prison cell next to Garren's child. Sheena is a neutral good half red dragon multiclass Fighter / Wizard. Her half dragon form is hidden most of the time (cities, forests...) to balance the game. Sheena is limited to two handed swords, quarterstaffs, halberds and darts (an animation limitation). Sheena's strength and constitution can not be raised by any item (potions and spells do work). Sheena has extensive banters with all Bioware NPCs, numerous interjections and a friendship path available to both male and female PCs. Sheena's flirts are available to male PCs of good and neutral alignment. She has also a small romance path (TOB like), which triggers if other romances are not active, you are through with the friendship talks and your character is of neutral or good alignment. Sheena leaves for good if is kicked out from your party.

[v1.9.31] Shadow Magic

SHADOW MAGIC

"There is a dark secret hidden within the walls of Candlekeep, forbidden to be spoken of among the scribes and monks even in hushed voices. A well of shadow magic, fueled by darkness and loss, shunned by most practitioners of the arcane arts. Such powers originate from the realm of the Shadow Weave, the distorted mockery of Mystra's Weave created by Shar, the Nightsinger. So obscure is this power that most are unaware of its existence, and those that know of it refuse to acknowledge it due to its dark origins. However, the seductive whispers of this power has called to you, an apprentice mage who had barely mastered your first cantrip, since a young age, deep beneath the great library.

When the voices became too much to resist, you snuck into the depths of Candlekeep in the dead of night, where unwanted and dangerous secrets are left to rot. Inside of a once-sealed chamber stood a strange fountain, an open wound in the Prime Material Plane through which the energies of the Shadow Weave bled. As soon as you touched the eerie yet beautiful strands of magic that flowed from the wound, you felt an awakening as your connection to the Weave was severed and the power of Shar's dark Weave coursed through you in its place, bestowing upon you a magic that few are gifted with. As you matured, the growing magic within you developed a symbiotic connection until it became one with your very being, and the power of the Shadow Weave became subservient to your will. Gorion and your tutors grew wary of the strange magic that you wielded, though they never learned of the source. Though you knew the dangers of toying with Shar's domain were great, the temptation of such a little-known power in your hands were a thousand times worth the cost."

- biography of a shadow adept Bhaalspawn

Component 1: SHADOW MAGIC MAIN COMPONENT

The Shadow Adept is a mage kit with a completely unique spell selection with 100+ new spells to choose from. A lot of them are copies of existing spells but there are quite a few relatively unique ones in there.

A list of spells with descriptions can be viewed here.
SHADOW ADEPT: Shadow adepts hurl themselves into the abyss of the Shadow Weave, immediately acquiring all the gifts available to casual students and discovering secrets unavailable to all but the most dedicated.

Advantages:
- Hit Die: d6
- May use Shadow Magic.

SHADOW MAGIC: Spells of the Shadow Weave are usually more powerful than regular magic, but drains the caster's life force. When a spell is cast, the shadow adept must make a Save vs. Death at a modifier equal to the spell level (e.g. -1 for 1st level, -9 for 9th level) or temporarily lose Constitution equal to the level of the spell cast for 3 rounds. If the shadow adept's Constitution reaches zero, they are killed instantly.

The Shadow Weave is a mysterious and dark entity, far more alien and harder to control than that of Mystra's equivalent. As such, a great amount of mental acuity is required in order to master shadow magic. High intelligence, wisdom and charisma benefits those who choose to stray into Shar's domain.

- Gains the Darkvision innate ability.

DARKVISION: The shadow adept is gifted with the ability to see in the dark even better than in light. They permanently gain infravision and immunity to blindness.

- Gains one bonus spell cast per level.
- +2 bonus to saving throws against spells of the Enchantment, Illusion and Necromancy schools.
- 4th level: May use the Shield of Shadows ability once per day.

SHIELD OF SHADOWS: The shadow adept surrounds themselves with a barrier of purpleblack force. This shield of shadows functions like a shield spell, setting their armor class to 4 (2 against ranged weapons) and absorbing magic missiles cast at them for 1 hour per 2 levels to a maximum of 9 hours.

From 8th level onwards, the shield of shadows also grants +4 to saving throws vs. death and +1 to all other saving throws.

- 5th level: May use Shadowstep once per day. Gains one use every 5 levels thereafter.

SHADOWSTEP: Step into the Shadow Plane and move for 7 seconds while others are frozen in time. The shadow adept cannot attack or use spells while in the Shadow Plane.

- 14th level: May use the Shadow Double ability once per day.

SHADOW DOUBLE: The shadow adept creates a copy of themselves out of shadowstuff. The copy is at 60% of the caster's level and has all the spells and abilities that the caster would have at that level.

Disadvantages:
– Suffers a -2 penalty to casting speed and casting time while in daylight.
- -2 penalty to saving throws against spells of the Invocation and Alteration schools.
- May not learn or use spells from the Weave.
- Alignment restricted to non-good.

Prime Requisites For Dual-Classing: Intelligence, Charisma

STAT BONUS TABLES




OPTIONAL: ALTERNATE SPELL COSTS

This required subcomponent allows the installer to choose the resource cost that Shadow Weave magic uses. The options are:
  1. Drain Constitution (cost = spell level, lasts 3 rounds)
  2. Current Hit Points (cost = spell level*2)
  3. Maximum Hit Points (cost = spell level*2, lasts 6 rounds, current hit points do not recover)
  4. No cost

SORCERER KIT: SHADOW DISCIPLE

The main component also adds the Shadow Disciple kit, the sorcerer variant of the shadow adept with the same abilities.

BARD KIT: NIGHTSINGER

The main component also adds the Nightsinger kit, a bard that uses shadow magic.
NIGHTSINGER: A rare class of bards that choose to study the power of the Shadow Weave gain access to its dark powers, bestowing upon them a dirge capable of cursing their enemies.

Advantages:
- The Nightsinger's Bard Song, "Dirge of Despair", curses their enemies, reducing their morale and saving throws.
1st level: -1 penalty to THAC0, damage and saving throws, lowers morale
11th level: -2 penalty to THAC0, damage and saving throws, lowers morale
21st level: -3 penalty to THAC0, damage and saving throws, lowers morale

- May use Shadow Magic.

- May cast one additional spell per level.
- +2 bonus to saving throws against spells of the Enchantment, Illusion and Necromancy schools.
- 6th level: May use the Shield of Shadows ability once per day.

SHIELD OF SHADOWS: The shadow adept surrounds themselves with a barrier of purpleblack force. This shield of shadows functions like a shield spell, setting their armor class to 4 (2 against ranged weapons) and absorbing magic missiles cast at him for 1 hour per 2 levels to a maximum of 9 hours.

From 8th level onwards, the shield of shadows also grants +4 to saving throws vs. death and +1 to all other saving throws.

- 7th level: May use Shadowstep once per day. Gains one use every 5 levels thereafter.

SHADOWSTEP: Step into the Shadow Plane and move for 7 seconds while others are frozen in time. The shadow adept cannot attack or use spells while in the Shadow Plane.

- 18th level: May use the Shadow Double ability once per day.

SHADOW DOUBLE: The shadow adept creates a copy of themselves out of shadowstuff. The copy is at 60% of the caster's level and has all the spells and abilities that the caster would have at that level.

Disadvantages:
– Suffers a -2 penalty to casting speed and casting time while in daylight.
- -2 penalty to saving throws against spells of the Invocation and Alteration schools.
- May not learn or use spells from the Weave.
- Alignment restricted to non-good.

ITEM PACK

The main component also adds several items that are exclusive to the shadow adept. Some can be found in BG1+SoD and all can be found in BG2. Some items require the shadow adept to have a secondary class in addition to the kit itself. Bear in mind that the quest component is required for a few of the items to show up in-game in BG:EE.

FAMILIARS

The shadow adept has the ability to summon a familiar at 6th level. The shadow adept's familiar has a few differences in strength and function compared to a mage's familiar but mostly imitates vanilla familiar behavior. Familiars and their abilities may be viewed here.

Component 2: SHADOW MONK

SHADOW MONK: Little is known about the secretive order of shadow monks, other than the fact that they draw upon the power of the Shadow Plane to wield dark ki. They are masterful assassins, manipulating powerful illusions to their advantage and skilled at striking from the shadows, but their ritualistic training has taken a toll on their physical stamina.

Advantages:
- +1 bonus to Dexterity.
- Gains the Darkvision innate ability.

DARKVISION: The shadow adept is gifted with the ability to see in the dark even better than in light. They permanently gain infravision and immunity to blindness.

- Gains the Life-Drain innate ability.

LIFE-DRAIN: Shadow monks channel the power of the Shadow Plane into their fists, gaining bonus effects based off of their level.

1st - 9th level: Drains 1 hit point on hit.
10th - 19th level: Drains 2 hit points and lowers target's strength by 1 for 2 rounds (save vs. death to avoid strength drain)
20th level onwards: Drains 3 hit points, lowers target's strength by 1 and 20% chance to drain one level permanently on hit

- Has a backstab multiplier of x2. Increases to x3 at 11th level and x4 at 21st level.

- 3rd level: May use the Shadow Pool ability.

SHADOW POOL: Shadow monks wield the power of the Shadow Plane and can manipulate it in order to cast a limited amount of Shadow Magic. The shadow monk must first spend one round drawing energy from the Shadow Weave then cast the spell. The shadow monk's concentration may be disrupted during the channeling or the casting time.

Level 1 (3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th levels): Shadow Missile, Blinding Darkness, Shadow Veil, Decoy
Level 2 (7th, 10th, 13th, 16th levels): Dark Mirage, Black Mist, Ghostly Visage, Shadow Walk
Level 3 (11th, 17th, 23rd levels): Shadowblast, Lifedrinker Touch, Shadow Comets, Impose
Level 4 (15th, 21st, 27th levels): Fireshield (Shadow), Shadeskin, Summon Shadow, Shar's Blessing

- 5th level: May cast Shadowstep once per day. Gains an additional use every 5 levels thereafter.

SHADOWSTEP: Step into the Shadow Plane and move for 7 seconds while others are frozen in time. The shadow monk cannot attack or use spells while in the Shadow Plane.

- 12th level: May cast Shadow Door once per day. Gains additional uses at 16th and 20th level.
- 15th level: May use the Deathstrike ability once per day.

DEATHSTRIKE: The shadow monk teleports to a chosen target and turns invisible for one round. Their next attack within one round is a guaranteed critical hit and drains six levels from the target.

Disadvantages:
- Hit Die: d6
- -2 penalty to Strength.
- -4 penalty to Constitution.
- Alignment restricted to non-lawful and non-good.
- Uses the shadowdancer's high level abilities table instead of the fighter's, with the exclusion of Use Any Item.
- May not use the Lay On Hands ability.
- May not use the Stunning Blow ability.
- May not use the Quivering Palm ability.

Component 3: QUESTS & ENCOUNTERS

Kryn Darkflame is a Shadovar mage of Thultanthar, the Shade Enclave. He is in the grounds of the Friendly Arm Inn and serves as a merchant of magical wares including many Shadow Adept-exclusive items. Finding and dealing with his missing apprentices will net the player a sizable reward.

Imoen Romance V3.0 Release

Stuff of the Magi mod?

$
0

Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forums, and I hope I'm putting it in the correct place. I originally asked this on r/baldursgate, and they suggested I try here. I myself have zero experience with modding. The most I've ever done was create a few custom items for my personal use, but that was a good 8-10 years ago...I don't even know what tool(s) I would need to attempt relearning that =/

http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/643-stuff-of-the-magi-v4-weidu/

I remember using this mod a lot when I was younger. Yes, mages are already overpowered, and these items just enhanced that. To help mitigate the OP'ness I would distribute the various items amongst my cadre of spellcasters.

I've been having a blast paying the EE versions of the games, and so I went and found the download to one of my favorite mods. I installed the mod and gave myself the items in EE Keeper to quickly test them. They work great and give the appropriate benefits. However, if I click on the item to read the description, nothing pops up and it freezes my game. I'm assuming this is because the mod hasn't been updated for the EE versions.

On another note, each of the items are indeed granted to their respective owners. For example, when I finished the Planar Sphere I was granted the item Lavok held. It was unidentified, and as stated previously, crashed my game when I tried to identify it and read the description.

Is making it EE compatible something I could easily do myself? Or would anyone here be interested in working on that? Should I just forget it and move on, knowing that all is well as long as I don't accidentally right-click on the items?

Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (NTotSC) v2.1.0 for BG:EE (and BGT and EET) - Download

NTotSC v2.1.0 for BGT, BG:EE, and EET

Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (NTotSC) adds several quests to the BG1 part (with TotSC) to the game. Some are minor encounters with no further impact, but some are larger quests that are also partly connected to each other.

This is a BGT, BG:EE, and EET version of the original mod. As of version 2.0, NTotSC is no longer dependent on DSotSC. If you want to play the two mods together, install DSotSC first. The versions supported are:
-for BGT/EET: version by k4thos
-for BG:EE: version by Red Carnelian (this mod is still beta, too).

To reach the new areas via worldmap, you need to install BP-BGT-worldmap for BGT after NTotSC and start a new game. For BG:EE, this is no longer needed, thank you to AstroBryGuy for providing the worldmap tweak!

Since v2.0, the quests are less restrictive in their order, especially in the order of when to talk to whom, in the sense of no dead ends because a quest character was talked to too early. The only restrictions remaining are: The Northern Citadel Quest will be handed out from Duke Eltan when he summons the PC in the original game. The Temple of the Black Hand will only be revealed after the demon in Ulgoth's Beard is defeated.
All other quests can either be "walked into", received from multiple persons (e.g. "The Field of the Dead"), or received by killing the quest giver instead of going on his fedex quest (e.g. the Ice Slamander or Eldod - they will have the appropriate keys on them.) Also, the mod now uses the prefix "NT". The package comes with a detailed list of Changes including altered variable names. If your mod has crossmod content with NTotSC and you are nervous about the changes, let me know and I will help you concerning compatibility with v2.1.0.

Test reports welcome! I tested myself on all platforms but there is always something one pair of eyes will miss.
