Hi All,

My Archivisat (6), Runecaster (13), Heirophant (5) gets a bonus feat at 24 lvl (I take the 13 level Runecaster at level 24).  I am finding that I can only pick the Epic Toughness feat with the bonus.

Why can I not take any feat I am eligible for with the bonus feat (spell focus, skill focus, etc)?

The prestige class seems to be missing all the basic feats at 1st level that other prestige classes get.  This severely limits the feat available for bonus feats.

These are bonus feats for this class so the game reads feat list from cls_feat_*.2da file. The person that implemented Runecaster class in NWN didn't added many epic feats to that file. That why your choice is limited. This can be fixed by adding more entries in cls_feat_*.2da (there is a list of epic feats available to runecasters on WotC site).

Could you be more specific, please? Which feats are missing?

Hi Xwarren,

How do I edit the cls_feat_*.2da?  What program do I use?

Notepad, Textpad, any text editor.

I have compared the file with feat list from WotC (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ei/20020712a)

It contains all feats that are currently available in NWN (i've added entries for epic spellcasting and ignore material components).

bonus feats for Epic Runecaster are:
Automatic Quicken Spell
Automatic Still Spell
Automatic Silent Spell
Epic Spell Focus (*)
Epic Spell Penetration
Improved Combat Casting
Epic Toughness

You could put it into your prc_2das.hak file, although this might make playing with other people using PRC content difficult (as you will have a different hak version). Bioware's nwhak.exe utility (in /NeverwinterNights/NWN/utils) can do this for you.

The faster solution would be to stick it in your override folder (/NeverwinterNights/NWN/override).
