Options for my content

[Kaedrin]

I've updated by cmi_options.2da documentation which is available here: nwn2customcontent.wikidot.com/cmi-options-documentation

That said, are there any additional options (script based) that you would like me to build in to the system?

Options I have been thinking about:

1a) Elegant Strike damage capped at class level: on/off (default to off)
1b) Elegant Strike damage cap: 1-10

2) Inspire Courage bonus damage as magical: on/off (default to on)

3) Frost Mage piercing cold capped at spell level equal to class level: on/off. (Level 8 Polar Ray would require Frost Mage 8 to ignore cold resist)

4) Allow Arcane casting while shapeshifted (Tenser's Transformation, Shapechange, Word of Changing)

I would love to see #4 implemented

[Loudent2]

No, I've rewrittin at least one of those spells (tensers) and it's powerful enough that I included the arcane failure effect. That will likely stay. Shapechange I'm open too and I don't know enough about word of changing to say one way or another.

tensers+still spell=joy

[triskavanski]

Still spell?

A Tenser knight doesn't wear armor. The only item they have is a sword.

[Beldar]

Yet, still spell does seem to defeat the arcane spell failure of Tenser's. I don't know if this is intentional, but it is pretty cool. Kind of a hassle that the auto still spell feats are so expensive (3 feats to get through level 9), but if they weren't they would be way OP.

[mammothtruk]

see twisk you dont understand the idea here...

you use your buffs and get into tenser's then you are free to use your impending blades, imposing hands, and other generally amazing debuffs against your opponents. Also enabling you to get that all important mirror image up while still in tenser's as well as that stoneskin that just got beat off you. all while in the safety of full BAB, buffs, armor if you want, and bonus HPs. Tensers is the non gish way of being a super gish.

still spell gets by the arcane failure in tensers? That's a bug.

Which was why i was confused with Mammoth taking still spell for tensers.

[wettshoes]

haven't played an arcane caster yet on LDoA so didn't know tensers had been modified - i really enjoy the shapechange spell and was thinking of that one (for the most part) when i posted. So allowing arcane casting while polyed or shapechanged would be cool

[triskavanski]

I'd say that it should be, if able, allowed only in certain forms. Like one Shape is Melee Combat Oriented, while another is Magical Combat, a third is Melee defensive and a forth is magical defensive, and the last is a mixture.

[Loudent2]

incidentally, I found the bug in the tenser's spell. Was using the wrong spell failure effect.

[wettshoes]

Curious if the Shapechange spell ever got modified to allow for the arcane casting?

[nicethugbert]

Been a while since I tried Word of Changing but last I tried it, it had a craptastic AC and you couldn't use your EBs so it sucks terribly.

Question, why are the caps limited to certain numbers? For instance, what if someone wanted Elegant Strike damage cap at 200?


Also, I suggest Eldritch Glaive controls:
a) Base: how many d6 it does regardless of Warlock level
b) Progression: how many d6/warlock level on top of Base
c) Cap: Max d6 Base + Progression that EG will be allowed to do

[wettshoes]

Um . . . sems like my question got lost in the shuffle is the Shapechange spell on the drawing board to be modified to allow for arcane casting whileyou are shapechanged?
