I'm just getting into Spellhold and (finally) rescuing Imoen. I didn't know about this mod. I want Imoen to be a swashbuckler. I know she starts with a new creature file when she rejoins the party in Spellhold. Is it too late for me to install this portion of the Refinements mod (and no other part) to my game in progress?

I think it's possible to install her if you've never met new Imoen (I.E. you haven't been to Spellhold) and aren't using any sort of Continuous Imoen (Imoen Romance, BGT, NeJ and other mods include it), but of course I've never tried.

Congratulations on using the single most powerful character build possible not using NPC-only abilities, BTW :)

Thanks for the quick response. I'll install the mod and try to make her a swash. If it doesn't work I may restart my game. I was reading more about the mod and the new HLAs seem superb. Heh, knowing me I could see myself doing that anyway.

I ran the mod and Imoen loaded up after the Spellhold cutscenes. She's 10 swashbuckler 10 mage after level up. I'm not sure it all went according to plan, though. Her naked AC is 6. Since she has an 18 dex shouldn't her naked AC be 4?

The dualing rules, read them! She needs to be 11 level to gain the thief bonuses, and abilities.

2, not 4. But you need to reach the 11th level in Mage to regain the old kit abilities (this early level up will probably also have crippled her proficiency points allocation, I fear :( ).

I wouldn't ever be able to recall the details, but I do remember a lot of tests on that issue...
Why do you fear a mess with the proficiencies, there shouldn't be any.

I'm playing with SwashImoen just now -with a game I picked up some time ago after some years away from BG and then freezed again- and I find myself thinking that Imoen as a swashbuckler was an almost necessary concept.

I hope this time I'll be able to *reach* those darn HLAs I tested SO much and NEVER played with :blink: :D
