Hi, I'm trying to make a bard kit, and one of his planned features is letting him cast spells while wearing armor.
Is this possible to do somehow? I'm interested in any solution, as I've already taken a look through the effect opcodes and I'm fairly sure it won't be possible the easy way.

Well, you could do something with Use EFF File and then Protection From Opcode referencing the armour spell failure. You would have to patch it to all armours in the game, however, and anything that uses armours afterwards would make some which you can't cast spells in.

Yes, but if you don't wish this to affect anyone else than the specific bard kit, it's a S%&/#" job to do. The Item Revision does this in few different ways in it's components.Hi, I'm trying to make a bard kit, and one of his planned features is letting him cast spells while wearing armor.

Kit applies a spell offering (via opcode 101) immunity to opcode 144 (hide button) and 145 (disable spellcasting) and it'll be able to cast spells or use the pickpocket ability while wearing armor (in the standard game). Add immunity to opcode 40 (miscast magic) and it won't be affected by the spellcasting failure chance from various mods (IR, G3Tweaks, Refinements) - however, the kit will also become immune to the spellcasting failure from C3 Miscast Magic, D5 Insect Plague and similar spells.

Thank you all, I wasn't expecting something as simple as that.
I've seen the opcode 101 before, but I've overlooked it not realizing the possibilities it had.

Well I haven't used these mods before, but I suppose I should add protection from 40 if I don't want the kit to be incompatible with popular mods out there.

And immunity to miscast magic could just be included as another 'feature'.

The best way, actually, I'd say. Still, AI might be of a slight problem here, as SCS's beholders will keep antimagicking this char like a chaingun, and to no avail. Or may be that not SCS, but someone else. But you got the idea.And immunity to miscast magic could just be included as another 'feature'.
