Welcome to the board, Draven.

That's the right place, so you can tell everyone about your ideas and expand on the NPCs you would like to develop, their personalities, place in the game and FR world and perhaps even snippets of dialogues etc, to make others interested :) The more details you will provide, the better/more useful feedback you will recieve.

So far I can only suggest droping the "Lightblade" from Cora's name, since it sounds a tad too flashy :lol: and, perhaps use one of the canon drow houses (if it is indeed drow) for your character (unless you are already doing so). A handy list can be found here:

I should caution you though that developping 12 new NPCs is a very writing heavy enterprise as you will need interactions among both new and 17 existing NPCs. For comaprison, BG1NPC mod (more than a year in development) had 20+ people staff to cope with 25 NPCs. :lol:

Here is what I have so far people correct me if what im planning isnt possible

Dark Knight Of Ellistraee(fighter)

Advantages

Can attain Grand Mastery with Bastard Sword and Long Sword


Gain Invocation spells

Can cast darkness faerie fire and dancing lights 3 times a day(All new spells)

Disadvantages

Must be Elf or half elf
Can onyl wield long sword or bastard sword with any skill
must be chaotic good
The same penalties a paladin faces as well


Improved Find Familiar

This Spell is much like the average find familiar spell with few changes

First of all it Summons a infant dragon according to your alignment as follows

Gold Dragon- Lawful good
Silver Dragon-Neutral Good
Bronze Dragon-Chaotic Good
Blue Dragon-Lawful Neutral
Rainbow Dragon-True Neutral
Red Dragon-Chaotic Neutral
Black Dragon-Lawful Evil
Green Dragon- Neutral Evil
Red Dragon-Chaotic Evil

As you grow In levels the dragon grows Ie: Gets stronger and better hp and such

Faerie Fire: Outlines an enemie in magical Harmless flames giving them a -3 armor class penalty

Darkness-Blinds the enemy and renders you invisible for 3 turns however due to the darkness the enemy gains a +3 armor class bonus

Dancing Lights: Confuses the enemy and stuns them the stun is for one round confuse is for 5

Ill write up the npcs next I just need to know if this is possible

What is the underlying idea of this kit? something like an eldritch knight? So does he have the thaco of a fighter? And why only longsword and bastardsword, perhaps it is more logical to be able to become grand master in all swords and only proficient in the other weapons.

What do you mean with restrictions of paladin? That he may not drop in reputation? Cause you want it to be CG so doesn't have paladins restriction to be LG.

Don't know if you are the only one who is coding this mod. Cause I'm busy with a mod with 3 npc's and quests and I tell you it takes longer then you think.

Still modding the Mod for the Wicked... It is a big project you know... And I got sidetracked (several times) a bit... sorry.
However, as we all know, Evil never really sleeps.

I n the whole reputation thing because the church off ellistraee is good aligned maybe ranger restrictions would be better

No clue, perhaps he thought of being more like IRC (?). He didn`t seem too coherent.
