[NPC] Pfaug Hammerlust - SoD-only [WIP]

Hi,

So, I've been working on a new NPC for SoD: Pfaug.

Yup, the same fellow we see when leaving Baldur's Gate - now he is a joinable NPC.

I don't have a proper release yet, but I would say that things are 80% done for a first version. I'm making this post as a precaution because I'll probably not be on this forum much longer.

That being said, for download, information and support, please contact me on Twitter (/raduziel) and I'll gladly provide them.

I'll try to add more info to this thread when and if possible.

Quick Q&A:

1) What's Pfaug's race?

He's a duergar. He has almost every duergar trait except the immunity to illusions and (to offset that) the XP penalty - this includes being able to cast Invisibility and Enlarge. Be aware that he will take some penalties when exposed to sunlight.

2) What's Pfaug's class?

He's a Fighter/Thief Mercenary. Originally he was a Berserker, but I thought that SoD needs an evil thief.

3) What's Pfaug's alignment?

He's Neutral Evil. Again I took some liberty, as he originally was Chaotic Evil.

4) Is Pfaug romanceable?

Definitely no.

5) Tips on party composition?

He has a closer relation to Viconia and some weird interaction with Dorn and M'Khiin (as he hates and fears them). With his low Charisma, he will tease and provoke pretty much everyone except for the above and Voghiln.

6) Any other recommendation?

Pfaug has a dirty mouth. He curses when he feels that he needs to. If you're oversensitive or feel uncomfortable with this kind of language, I wouldn't recommend this mod.

Also, Pfaug has different reaction for dwarves and non-dwarves PC/NPC. You may want to take him for a ride more than once to fully experiment this mod.

7) Any banters and interjections?

Yup. A minimum of two with each NPC, some with the PC and a lot of head-strings to react to some in-game events.

8) Any personal quest?

A very quick fetch quest. As this is my first NPC mod and SoD is such a short game where the player pretty much can't travel around I had to limit myself here.

9) Will he be expanded to BG2 eventually?

No.

10) Wow, max HP! Why?

The only other evil front-liner in SoD is Dorn and he is frail as a flower.

11) Release date?

TBA here or in Twitter - future will tell.

I would like to thank @LavaDelVortel and @jastey for guiding me through this, @kjeron for helping me obtain the BAMs necessary for the Enlarge spell @argent77 and @CamDawg for all the helpful macros, @Ardanis , @Bubb and @AionZ for occasional troubleshooting and @Zaghoul for proof-reading.

That's it.
