No, it's a direct creature entry replacement, that does not enact any CA functionality. CA tokens won't work. Link to comment

Is the creature a "drop" or a spawn? I assume the mechanics are the same as the crypts which spawn Undead. Link to comment

MeGoGo 4 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 all good time of the day, looking for help in the runes. how to throw them in correctly and in what quantity? some say in their builds to throw in 1 rune, while others say to keep it at the level of the penalty....take an example 1 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 I always follow the rule stated in the "helpful tips" displayed on the loading screen: "As a rule of thumb, a combat art is considered appropriate if its level equals about ¼ of the character level." "Обычно боевое умение считается хорошо развитым, если его уровень составляет около четверти от уровня персонажа." 1 Link to comment
chattius 2,527 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 What I taught to my kids: keep all ca's at 1 till I) buffs have high priority: keep the penalty around 15%- read only if it keeps the buff below 15% ii) if all buffs are at or below 15% and you can spam a combat art -be it with normal regeneration or regeneration per hit- watch the regeneration time for one more rune in the tooltipp. If it is still spammable read it. Easy rules which are quite good till you develope a 'belly feeling' for regeneration times. Off cause there are exceptions like keeping one high level boss/champion killing CA, or CA's which boost regeneration times and can't be high enough, .... 1 Link to comment
GermanyRecon 3 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Hi, im playing version 3.0 and have a question to the Skill: Spell Resistance. If I spend points shoudnt this increase "" Zauberwiderstand -->199<-- "" by 13.6% ? but it does nothing.... If I have items with Spell Resitance increase by x% it works. Or is spell resistance treated differently than Willpower+(item spell resistance) ? Spoiler Edited February 12, 2021 by GermanyRecon Link to comment
jwiz 68 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) One thing I noticed again during testing with the Inquisitior is that the facial speech animation in conversations is missing. Is it really not implemented or simply bugged? Edited February 18, 2021 by jwiz Link to comment

Or is spell resistance treated differently than Willpower+(item spell resistance) ? Hello. Thanks for trying the mod and writing back. I assume it's a display issue, where the Spell Resistance from the skill is simply calculated afterward and therefore doesn't show up on the character sheet. @dimitrius154 Do you happen to know why the Spell Resistance skill doesn't seem to contribute to the overall spell resistance stat shown on the character sheet? 21 hours ago, jwiz said: One thing I noticed again during testing with the Inquisitior is that the facial speech animation in conversations is missing.

Unlike the other characters I didn't change his base model or animations in 3.0, so I doubt it's anything caused by EE. Link to comment

Because the description of the skill is incorrect. It does not increase the Spell Resistance, it decreases chances to receive full damage, or a critical hit from spell-based attacks. 4 hours ago, Flix said: I didn't change his base model or animations in 3.0, so I doubt it's anything caused by EE. Vanilla Inquisitor horse-riding animations have missing jawbones, that's why his lips don't move. That means he does not lie while riding, per Nixon criteria. 2 Link to comment

Makes me want to rename it to something like "Spell Evasion" or something to better indicate that it's the spell-based version of Combat Refexes. Link to comment

chattius 2,527 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Currently playing a Dragon Mage transformed into dragon berzerker whenever possible. I am level 70 and mid in platinum campaign. Platinum should be named purple because I encounter purple enemies more and more. The most frustating stuff are negative magical effects like slow because I can't counter this with equipment or spell resistance skill. The good thing is the buildin alchemy skill if you are used to it - luckily I am really very used to alchemy. Remember to learn the keystrokes for alchemy slots. Being forced to return to human form for door opening and talking is something which is quickly learned. Not so quickly learned is something like talking to a dragon in human form to activate it and then quickly turn to berzerk form to kill it. When transformed into dragon berzerker you are without buffs, so quickly pressing 6,7,8 to activate buffs has to become trained. Or flee while in human form to transform,but this is not always possible. Good again: the dragon berzerker has alchemy so healing potions are a bit more powerful. The first levels with a transformer demand running from enemy to enemy and hitting them to keep berzerk mode up. After 30 runes it is more relaxed and now I can sort equipment without feraring to drop out of berzerk. Speaking about items: even I put the loot filter to yellow, while in berzerk I collect a lot of junk. Wonder if I should write a transformer diary. Link to comment

That's because item modifiers are not accounted for while the Dragon Mage is transformed. There're several checks within the code. Link to comment

chattius 2,527 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The dragon berzerker allows only 2 buffs? Neither pressing 8 nor the mouse activates the third. Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 The Berserker has the Concentration skill but there's no way to convey mastery via a creature skill bonus, so he's stuck with 2 buffs. The skills are separate from the DM's so they don't carry over. I have to manually add the skills I want the shapeshifted forms to have, like Alchemy. Your report also helped me spot a bug where I had added Concentration twice to the Berserker and Dragon Form. I don't think it's causing any adverse issues but I'll correct it nonetheless.
