You'd think it would be the other way around eh?

Not to mention that it seems to be pretty inconsistent - like sometimes what's in the override folder DOES actually override, sometimes it doesn't :S

Well solved my own problem eventually - for some reason the 2da file in the override folder wasn't applying - once I imported the edited 2da back into the prc_2das.hak file everything worked...

So as continued part of my fiddling with feats etc in an unashamadely Munchkin way (;)) I'm trying to give another class the Skullclan Hunter's Divine Strike feat - I added it into the appropriate 2da file (along with a number of other feats), the other feats come through just fine, but this one just doesn't come through as a feat

Here's what's in the 2da file:
370 Skullclan_DivineStrike    2213      3    2              0      
371 Skullclan_SwordOfLight    2214      3    5              0      

The index numbers are all correct (copied straight out of skullclan hunter's 2da to make sure, then 1st column updated to be in line) and other feats input the same way above and below these ones are working just fine (including Uncanny Dodge and the Vassal of Bahamut's DragonWrack abilities) so I don't understand why these ones aren't working...

Also - I've tried giving him Katana Finesse and it doen't work - wielded Katana still uses STR instead of DEX...

I can only surmise there's something encoded somewhere else (probably the code for UMD itself) which restricts who can and can't use the skill - most likely a white-list scenario.  I might just take the path of allowing everyone to use it - it's easily changed back...

Hi,

I'm just wondering what would have to happen to make Use Magic Device available to other classes - I tried adding it to the classes "cls_skill_####.2da" file as a class skill etc but it still wouldn't allow me to add skill points to it or use it - is it possible?

Hi All,

Returning to the PRC forums after a VERY long hiatus (was still at dladventures when I left - due to my computer no longer able to handle NWN as well as a sudden eradication of free time) and keen to enjoy the riches of the PRC again.

I was thinking of running through the OC with a Sorceror-type character, Evil, using Grimnaw as my henchman (and pixie familiar to handle locks/tracps) but was unsure of how to manage the build.  I don't like mirco-management of spells/skills at all (hence preferring Sorcerer to Wizard) and liked the idea of some sort of Dragon element in the build since I noticed a large amount of dragon-based feats and classes here now.

Basically I'm enquiring after what could be a competitive build/class to try along those lines that would work through the OC (and potentially beyond into a higher-level mod continuing that story or maybe HoTU - or whatever) and maybe would have some fun sort of element?  Doesn't necessarily have to be a magic-slinging sorc...had some kind of pyro-dragon-psycho style in mind

With so much content in the PRC nowadays it's a bit hard to read all the classes/feats on offer that could work...

Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Holy Slayer - Paladin/Fist of Raziel/Knight of the Chalice
Requirements:

FoR:
Alignment: Lawful Good.
Feats: Power Attack, Servant of The Heavens.
Skills: Persuade 5 ranks, Lore 5 ranks.
Divine Spellcasting: Can cast 1st level spells.
Base Attack Bonus: 6
Spell: Able to cast Divine Favor

KoC:
Alignment: Lawful Good
Base Attack Bonus: +8
Skills: Lore 10 or more ranks
Divine Spellcasting: Level 1 or higher.
Spells: Ability to cast Protection from Evil

Design:
This build is designed to be a powerful slayer of Undead and/or Demons by focusing on the varying prestige classes of Fist of Raziel and Knight of the Chalice.  Variants are entirely possible depending on the module and the relative prevalence of Undead and Demons.

Playing this as an Aasimar is the most logical and fits the mold (mould? which one is which? , but really anything 'Good' and doesn't impact Charisma would work just fine.

Level Progression:
1. Paladin 1 - *Power Attack
2. Paladin 2
3. Paladin 3 - *Cleave
4. Paladin 4 - CHA +1
5. Paladin 5
6. Paladin 6 - Servant of the Heavens
7. Fist of Raziel 1 - Magic Circle / Smite Evil x1 (Divine)
8. Knight of the Chalice 1 - CHA +1 / Demonslaying 1
9. KoC 2 - *Weapon Focus (any) / Censure Demons
10. KoC 3 - Demonslaying 2
11. FoR 2
12. FoR 3 - CHA +1 / *Improved Critical (any) / Smite Evil x2 (crit)
13. FoR 4
14. FoR 5 - Smite Evil x3 (2d6 Holy Dmg v Evil) / Sanctify Martial Strike
15. FoR 6 - *Great Cleave
16. FoR 7 - CHA +1 / Smite Evil x4 (2d8 Holy Dmg v Evil or Outsider)
17. FoR 8
18. FoR 9 - *(Extra Smiting?) / Smite Evil x5 (All Targets)
19. FoR 10 - Holy Martial Strike
20. KoC 4 - CHA +1 / Censure Demons 2

Epic:
Can either continue with Fist of Raziel levels into epic-hood which grants additional Smite attempts every alternate level; or take some/all of the remaining 6 Knight of the Chalice levels first to increase Demonslaying abilities.


Alternative:
If there is a greater Demon presence than Undead then more Knight of the Chalice levels can be taken instead of Fist of Raziel to accomodate that since the great demonslaying strength would be of more use than the Smites - even though the higher smite powers affect Outsiders as well.  This build had more focus on the Undead Slaying (since Undead are typically more prevalent than Demons) and aiming at getting the Holy Martial Strike before the Epic levels.
