Dakkons Levelling

Post by saka-rauka1 »

I just noticed that Dakkons class balance was uneven. Lately hes just been levelling as a mage. Hes currently a lvl 10 mage and lvl 7 fighter. Shouldn't he be alternating. I ask because during my first playthrough I never noticed this and I am now wondering if this is a bug.

Also on a side note: I killed the evil wizard construct before picking up nodrom and as a result he doesnt know how the director died and I can't upgrade him. I read that the wizard respawns with a new dungeon somewhere but will the dialogue be the same so that I can upgrade nodrom?

Oh, and on yet another note, cloudkill says it doesn't kill anything with over 6HD. But from what I've read, that means 6d8 HP. I read on a creature list that larval worms have 90hp but cloudkill wipes them all out. Can someone explain how this works?

Dak'khon is a Fighter/Mage. He devides all his earned XP equally along his classes. See the back of your Planescape manual for the XP necessary for each Fighter & Wizard level. Since Fighter requires less XP, those levels will advance faster.

No idea about the evil Wizard. Try it out?

6 HD means 6 dice for HP. 6d12 + 90 would fall in that category as well. Allthough I have a strong feeling that Planescape is taking a run with that 6 Hd limitation.

Since a level 7 fighter has 64,000-124,999 XP, level 10 mage has 250,000-374,999 XP and XP are shared equally for multiclasses like Dak'kon there's obviously something wrong with your game.

Yeah, Fighter 7/Mage 10 for Dak'kon just isn't possible. Can you confirm that those are his actual levels, and if so, tell us what his experience total is? I can't imagine what kind of bug could create that situation.

As for larval bugs, yeah, they're coded as level 1 creatures despite having quite a few hit dice. It's clearly a bug, and will be fixed in version 4.0 of my fixpack.

Dakkon doesn't show up as multiclass like Annah. He shows up as dual class. Also at the end of the game I ressurected him and he got the 2mil xp upgrade which increasded his fighter level so the the xp was shared equally once more. I'll try and find the save I used and post his exact xp before and after.
