1st idea:

This class is a fighter who can devoted all his efforts to learning and controling the inner beast which dwells in everyone; he can become a werewolf that gains in strength and power over time.

Werewarrior (Fighter Kit)

Available Race(s): All


Primary Attribute(s): Strength (9 Minimum)


Stronghold: The Werewarrior can acquire the de'Arnise Keep as his stronghold. See our Fighter Quests section for more information.

2nd idea: less a kit mod and more a desire to see the possibility of the pc becoming a vampire (evil only) after completing all the tasks for bhodi, would have similar progression to Valen; what do you think?

This seems like a very good example of a mod idea, so, welcome to IE Mod Ideas.

Ugh, fine, have it your way.

Note that this is quite untested (I can only hope that the regen functions as intended), but it works as far as I can tell - you can shapechange back and forth, and the stat changes show up as intended. It stops improving at lv25, though. Anything that gains +6 natural attacks = big NO as far as I'm concerned. It also gets the standard fighter HLA table.

I think the proportion of the game that takes place outdoors during the day would kill either suspension of disbelief or the player's enjoyment, depending on how exactly this was handled.

As I said in the pm, I think that the kit should be able to get grandmastery in his claws (however they are classed) just because they are his only weapon basically...and he only has 2 attacks per round even with boots of speed....giving him grandmastery and consequently normal attacks would cement this kit in my opinion...

And not being able to dual class? That is pretty harsh...all fighter kits are usually able to....? No...

Would weapon specialisation (grand mastery), normal attacks and dual classing be so unbalancing?

A side question though....you are aware of the ease of use mod? My whole idea for this mod came about through that thing...it was quite overpowered and I played a fighter/thief with the use any item and used it (borrowed from Cernd); unstoppable; too overpowered and weird anyway.....like no real explanation for the elemental resistances and such...but one thing that bothered me was the lack of claw progression, which was stuck at +3 (and some enemies were unaffected....I thought it would be a good compromise to have a kit like this but the dual classing and normal attack progression...is reasonable, no?

You stated as a weakness:

- Cannot cast spells

Disabling dualclassing was basically the quickest way I could think of.

(Also, the combination of a werewolf form with +5 boosts to all the important stats and UAI to circumvent the equipment restrictions seems like it would be a pretty obscene combination.)



If you absolutely must, find the lines in in setup-werewarrior.2da that read

// appended to DUALCLAS.2da
~jl#werew 0 0 0 0 0 0~

and change the numbers to 0 1 1 1 1 0, then reinstall the mod; that should give you the normal fighter dualclassing options.

A side question though....you are aware of the ease of use mod?

I may even have it installed... although my install is such a mess that I can't be sure about that
