The idea I have in mind is a fighter kit limited to sword and shield style and only being able to use 1 handed swords (in addition to shield). This is easy enough. The question I have is: is it possible to allow more proficiency stars to sword/shield style in a meaningful way.
1 star: -2 to missles
2 star: -4 to missles
3 star: -6 to missles or
-2 to crushing, slashing, etc. or whatever.
4 star: etc
I am unsure of how to modify PROFICIENCYSWORDANDSHIELD effect or if that is even what I need to do. I suppose the alternative is to put what I want in clab file but was wondering if proficiency star addition is possible/feasable. Thank You David

I'd think a CLAB file would be easier- if you modify the proficiency file then it'd change everyone's, wouldn't it?

I could, of course, be wrong.

No, assuming it is even possible, because profs for kit are in weapprof.2da.
So only MYKIT would have 3 or 4 star prof in sword/shield. The problem with clab file is I'm not sure if I can give kit a specific bonus only if pc/npc has shield equipped. Additional prof stars would solve this.

Oh, I see, I had misunderstood- I get it now, and see your problem!

Disregard original question. hlidskialf at teambg said it is not possible.
