Blackguard Divine Caster

[Aniril_Telin]

For anyone who is interested, I am working on an Override pack for Black Guards to be Divine Casters rather than spell-like abilities. (not for use in Sundren as Overrides cause problems when playing on servers.) I will post a download link here when it is done. I will be following as closely as I can to 3.5 for this so it may take a little while as I will have to make some new spells.

*Kicks Hard Code in the face* But I don't want it to have to be a feat grated spell list... grrr

Either cast like a sorc or write a mile of code to rebuild the spellbook... hmm

So, I didn't check out how good it is or anything, but it looks like this fella has already done it for BGs and Assassins:

10sec load time for a PC entering a module?

Got to wonder what that'll be doing to system resources on the server.

[Aniril_Telin]

Yeah lag is bad, seems using feats to run the caster script and having them cast like sorcerers that way is better for resources...

[Aniril_Telin]

So, I decided doing a base class first would be the better route, Paladin of Tyranny, then using that as a model to restructure the BG

A slight delay on this project, the partially completed project I am using... their icons sucked, so I am making new ones. XD

[Aniril_Telin]

Yay all the spells work as correctly as expected, with the same glitches as normal paladins. now, do I want to fix this. o.O

[Aniril_Telin]

Hmm I wonder if I could use the ride-able mounts and give them something interesting....

Using a rather limited script for most of this to keep any module using the class from having much impact beyond the addition of a custom class. It should be fairly simple to add in BG levels to count as caster levels to this spell list now that it is working. The actual Spell progression my be a little more tricky.

Out of interest Aniril, do you know the mystic art of making PRC classes from scratch?

If you do, and wouldn't mind putting together some kind of quick guide or tutorial it'd be greatly appreciated. All the how to links I can find are dead or point to the long gone original Bioware forums.

There are classes I must make. (Bear Warrior. Come on!)

[Aniril_Telin]

LOL yes, doing this a bit of a lazy route but didn't feel like starting from scratch, sure i can put together a guide for you.

If it includes a new casting table, well... that's a bit more complicated.

[Doubtful]

Nah, no casting tables. I plan to focus on melee classes. They need some luvin.

[Aniril_Telin]

well, levelup for bonus spells on base stat it is. Yes you wonderful evil people out there, it is possible to make a script that would check for changes to your stat and apply the spells per day appropriately, that is called a heartbeat script, which is bad juju for PW's sorry, but levelup is what I am going to make.

EDIT: Cause lag is bad

This is for my public release whenever I actually finish this project, I have no expectation for this to be included in this particular PW but should this work be used in such a manner, I want to ensure it works appropriately for all parties. If you want to put a verifier into a heartbeat script in your own modules more power to you.

[Aniril_Telin]

Due to the lack of information on how to accomplish what I am doing for this spell table, I will be as concise as humanly possible with my project notes should any of you wish to duplicate the project for your own classes. Suffice to say, working this far around the hard code, it will take some time.
