so, i started playing this. i'm liking the balance between permanent undead (with the right switches) and temporary undead, and finding the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable.
except for the bugs. now, i'm just about figuring out how to alter game files and have spent the last few days trying to figure out what the heck a .cmd file is and how to use a compiler. in short, my knowledge of the intimate workings of this stuff is limited. however, i was under the impression i'd installed the .haks right - but if my error could cause these, do go ahead and tell me. however, for now i'm going to start a list of problems - leaving out the unable to resolve spell to spellbook error that happens every time i cast - hasn't stopped me so far.
1: i'm using default switches apart from pnp_animate_dead, create_undead_permanent and prc_multisummon, which are all active. when i create a permanent undead, and then rest, it loses all its undead qualities - no immunities. (i had to open up create and create greater undead and change the extraordinary tag to a supernatural effect - thanks to whoever wrote the animate dead spell by the way - to stop them unsummoning on rest). it's possible that this caused it, but it happened with animated dead as well, which i never touched.
the only way i've found to get around this one was opening Vile Death and adding the Necropolitan template to the list of things it does to Undead. now they retain immunities just fine, but it's a little inconvenient.
2: Mental Bastion doesn't seem to be working. yes, i know that was the least helpful bug report ever, but i can find more information if someone can suggest where to look - i'm clueless.
3: this is a strange one. i've had to remove divine spellcasting as a requirement in order to get True Necromancer, because my original plan was DNecro/Cleric/Tnecro. only, attempting to level beyond level 3 in cleric, when also possessed of ANY DNecro levels, just delevels you and says "you must be able to cast level 2 spells to take this feat". i tried DNecro 1/Cleric 4, Dnecro 3/Cleric 3 and Cleric 4/Dnecro 3, which produced the error when trying to level DNecro up.
lastly, i was wondering if anyone could give me a quick breakdown of the Lich Template Class Phylactery, and what properties allow it to function as such. i'd like to see about non-amulet phylacteries, as well as debating adding the Demilich at-will spell abilities to it. the only file i can find, though, is UTI, which i have no idea how to open.
any help much appreciated!
