Question About Aerie

Raumoheru · Post by **Raumoheru** » Fri May 14, 2004 5:37 pm

ok i started a multiplayer game so i can play single player with me and my freinds pc

i am a kensai/rogue, to do the traps n locks
he is a stalker/cleric, he hates undead so uses his ranger and cleric skills towards smiting them

i wanted to romance Aerie but because of this i think it is a waste to have Aerie be multiclassed to cleric/mage. will it screw anything up if i use SK to make her a pure mage?

Romance-wise, you would probably be fine. But think about all the priest-spell-in-chain-contingency cheese you'll be missing...

BTW, you can probably make Aerie a paladin and the game won't really care

I have modified most of the NPCs without any ill effects. Some examples:

Imoen - Swashbuckler, Thief dualled to Conjurer, Swashbuckler dualled to Mage
Minsc - Barbarian, Berserker
Aerie - Illusionist
Nalia - Conjurer
Haer'Dalis - Swashbuckler
Jan - Illusionist
Edwin - Sorcerer
Anomen - 9th Level Berserker dualled to Cleric
Valygar - Wizard Slayer
Mazzy - Archer, Cavalier

The best way to change an NPC's class is to set his/her Level to 0, change to the appropriate class, and remove all spells, "Affects", and special abilities. You should also change the Hit Points to 1 so they won't end up with a bunch of extra Hit Points. (You can subtract the extra 1 HP later.) When you load the game, the NPC will level up (depending on how many experience points you assigned) and gain all of the special abilities and so forth he/she is supposed to have. Going from Level 0 to 1st Level is the critical part.

If you want to make sure that the NPC is exactly the way he/she should be, you can create a "dummy" character of the same class and compare the NPC to it with Shadowkeeper. My "dummies" have served me very well.

By all means..

Hack away. I do, and so do many - Jan the assasin, Minsc the Paladin, Jaheira the Ranger/Cleric, Edwin the Sorceror - just flavour to taste

btw...kitting a dual class mage into a specialist mage does NOT give you extra spells...von and i talked about it, i think a long time ago...

my party...

minsc - archer...
jaheira - kensai shapeshifter...
aerie - kensai priest of lathander/mage...

poor minsc...oh well, i did give him all the paladin bonuses and immunities...

We did, but I don't remember exactly what we determined. Didn't one of the patches change a couple of things?

well, as far as i know, no mods allows that to happen...but some mods in gibberlings3.net which allows kitting of anomen, nalia and imoen might do that...i haven't been keeping track...

If someone can show me how to SK my F/m/c into a Zerk/Sorc/Cleric it would be great. I assume User must have hacked this by now.

Just download Bun-bun and modify her portrait, etc. that should do it - well, she's a plate-wearing Kensai/Soceror/Cleric/Druid, really, but it's child play to give her rages - like she needs them :eek:

Okay where can I download Bun Bun?

Dont really care about the zerk other then I solo and I am just looking for ways to minimize potential reloads(Charm/imprison, etc.)

i really should update my uploads...never included the custom druid and cleric spells...or vondu's rest innate ability...

but seriously, my newest version, the one i use for beta testing mods, is just too embarressing..

somthing, just run a forum search for bun-bun...i think the sorceress kensai versions are still around...and those versions are already immune to charm, imprison, maze, poison, timestop, wing buffet, and any serious fun playing the game...

You can add one kit by the conventional means if you like - to add the other special abilities, the easiest way is to gen up a character (or use an NPC) of that class and "cut and paste" the special abilities in SK.

exactly.

a 40th level kensai is created by kai, and 27 lines in the affects tab that copy and pasted to anyone, even nalia, will make her into a kensai, with thac0 around -20, +13 to damage with every hit, and a natural ac around 2...

you can make aerie into a cleric of talos+lathander by making her into a cleric of lathander, and adding storm shield and lightning bolt innate spell.

etc....

well, you really can't...

but you can edit using near infinity some cleric spells/druid spells like sunray and assign to a kensai sorcerer...

a sorc with chain contingency full of nature's beauty, and sunrays is evil... :cool:
