I'm currently working on my NPC mod which uses a custom kit and I'm encountering a very irritating issue that's been there for a while but I didn't notice. Every time I kick the NPC out of the party and make her rejoin her 3 custom abilities will duplicate the number of casts per day permanently but her regular paladin innates (Detect Evil, Lay on Hands) will stay the same.

 

Anyone got a clue what's going on?

What does her scripts look like ? Most likely, her script adds the innate's while they shouldn't.

Also the kit granting the abilities might have some thing off ... I would need the kits files to know what's off.

I'm attaching the files that I think are relevant (scripts, 2da, spells tp2 file). Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Did you give the .cre abilities that are kit abilities?Like, if the .cre is a 3rd-level Ranger, did you give him a Charm Animal ability (or you know, the equivalent)?

[Artemius I]

@subtledoctor Nope. Took the time to double-check after you suggested that and she has zero spells memorized. Then out of curiosity I created a PC with the martyr kit and the spells still duplicated. I suspected there was something wrong with the .2da but fiddling with it and even rebuilding it from scratch didn't fix it.

I haven't had the opportunity look at the above files in a computer with editing tools & the game...

[subtledoctor]

Are you using ToBEx? I hear ToBEx can be a bit too aggressive about adding kit abilities when NPCs join the party...

[Artemius I]

@subtledoctor No. I create and use my mods on EE only.

@subtledoctor No. I create and use my mods on EE only.

Which has the exact same problem. The reason being that the ToBEx is one of the mods partially or more fully included in the EE games base edits.

Have you updated your games to the latest patch? Beamdog has fixed this issue.

Patching my game (which was only from 2.3.67.2 to 2.3.67.3 anyway) did not solve the issue. What I noticed was that the kit wasn't recognizing the abilities as 'coming from the kit' - as in, I have a script for my mod which removes the kit from my NPC and all abilities - except the innates do not go away.

Erhm, what kind specifically ?

[Artemius I]

I'm going to play with the .2da because I think that's what's causing the issue - I'll post more details once I find out more but if I'm not mistaken it looks like when you kick a party member out normally their number of spell casts 'reset' - well basically for my three special abilities instead of resetting they stack on top of each other. It looks like it's not getting rid of the pre-kicking set of abilities for some reason.

Never mind, think I've figured it out... turns out I shouldn't make spells with 8-letter long names... well I know now at least...
