I can't wait to get stuck into the monk ones personally. I'm busy creating the ones listed just now- But yes. feats like "Crane Style", "Drunken Boxer" - should be in there, I'm taking creative liberties with those ones, and attaching them to monk orders such as "Dark moon" etc.. The addition of deity specific classes will be added too, like "Favored Soul", so A chanteaun with a sycthe will recieve benefits. that kind of thing.

I'm omitting the spell "Imbue Item" since it is a crafting type feat, and would affect the balance of CoA's economy. I haven't by any means ruled it out, but I'd rather deal with it later on.

Could use some creative input from you guys on what you want the Warlock spell 'Imbue Item' to do.

I like the idea of making empower metamagic applicable to Eldritch spell, with a chance of failure, this is something i might add later. Too much work to do for now- But at least the Warlock class is finished. Moving on to something else now.

Custom Spells
This section is linked from the new custom classes for v5 section, and has a description of the new spells and their effects/saves etc… More importantly though, are working templates of scripts that create the desired effect. At the moment, they all fire from one single fairly large script, for centralisation.

Warlock
Eldritch Blast

void eldritchBlastSpell(object oTarget)
{

    //Visuals
    effect eVFX1 = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_PDK_WRATH);
    effect eVFX2 = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_MYSTICAL_EXPLOSION);
    effect eVFX3 = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_AURA_PULSE_PURPLE_BLACK);
    effect eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eVFX1, eVFX2);
    int constructModifier;
    float criticalHitModifier;
    effect eRay;

    //Apply VFX
    eRay = EffectBeam(VFX_BEAM_ODD, OBJECT_SELF, BODY_NODE_CHEST);

    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eVFX3, OBJECT_SELF, 3.0);
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eLink, OBJECT_SELF, 3.0);
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eRay, oTarget, 3.0);

    DelayCommand(2.0, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_FIREFORGET_SPASM));
    //Construct Modifier.
    //
    //Value (2 or 1) determines if target is living, and not a construct/placeable
    //(Returns 2 just for memory saving, since damage is halved by this modifier, and dividing by 1 is simply redundant.
    if ((GetObjectType(oTarget)!=OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE) || (GetRacialType(oTarget)==CLASS_TYPE_CONSTRUCT)) {constructModifier = 2;}else{constructModifier = 1;}
    if (d20(1) == 20 )
    {criticalHitModifier = 2;FloatingTextStringOnCreature("Critical Hit!", OBJECT_SELF);}else{criticalHitModifier = 1;}

    //Apply damage effect
    effect eEldBlast;

    //critical hit modifier doubles, construct modifier halves, these only happen if applicable from earlier checks.
    eEldBlast = EffectDamage(((powerCheck()/constructModifier)*criticalHitModifier), DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL);
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEldBlast, oTarget, 1.0);

}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

• Eldritch Blast does 1d6 at level 1, 2d6 at level 3 3d6 at level 4, and follows a chart. it does half damage to anything that is not a creature, i.e) Placeables and constructs.

• The Eldritch Blast script rolls a d20 to determine a critical hit.

Mol mentioned a generic 'Knight' class might be better. Its easy enough to just change the title "Thayan_Knight" to just Knight. I've been focusing on the warlock class, and its finished, all i need to do is finish one or two scripts.

TO DO:

• Design centralised framework (All custom PRC feat/spells fired from one script) DONE

• Create custom Icons for custom Classes/Feats/Spells (also some custom icons for the dwarven runecaster rune item.) DONE

• TLK table INCOMPLETE : Very, very last thing to implement.

• Knight - "Class.2da"DONE

• Knight - "Feat.2da"DONE

• Knight - "Spell.2da"DONE

• Warlock - "Class.2da"DONE

• Warlock - "Feat.2da"DONE

• Warlock - "Spell.2da"DONE

• Warlock - "Eldritch Blast" Script DONE

• Warlock - "Imbue Item" Script INCOMPLETE : Will interfere with CoA's crafting system

• Spellsword - "Class.2da"DONE

• Spellsword - "Feat.2da"DONE

• Spellsword - "Spell.2da"DONE

• Spellsword - "Channel Spell" Script DONE

• Runecaster - "Class.2da"DONE

• Runecaster - "Feat.2da"DONE

• Runecaster - "Spell.2da"DONE

• Runecaster - "Inscribe Rune" Script DONE

• Hardcastle Mercenary - "Class.2da"DONE

• Hardcastle Mercenary - "Feat.2da"DONE

• Hardcastle Mercenary - "Spell.2da"DONE

• Wizard of Thay - "Class.2da"DONE

• Wizard of Thay - "Feat.2da"DONE

• Wizard of Thay - "Spell.2da"DONE

This post details the custom classes for CoA version 5. It mainly handles the vital statistics behind each of the classes.

Knight
Description

The Knight is a fearsome caste of warrior who follow a strict code of honour, and all understand the importance of the chain of command.  Honour and their code of honour does not always serve the greater good, such as the cause of the dreaded "Thayan" Knight, but nobility is not always 'noble' after all...  

- Alignment Restrictions: Any Lawful.
- Hit Die: d12.
- Proficiencies: All simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields.
- Skill Points (Int Modifier * 4 at 1st level): 4 + Int Modifier.

Class Skills
Class skills: Concentration, Discipline, Intimidate, Listen, Spot, Parry, Listen and Taunt.

Feats
The part to note here is the "GrantedOnLevel". This is a direct replica of the Feat.2da relating to this class(So "CLS_FEAT_KNIGHT"). the OnMenu field might be of interest too, with regards to custom feats, as 1 means it can be fired from a menu, whereas 0 means it is a background feat.

Warlock
**Description**

Born of a supernatural bloodline, a Warlock seeks to master the perilous magic that suffuses his soul. Unlike Sorcerers and Wizards, who approach arcane magic through the medium of spells, a Warlock invokes powerful magic through nothing more than an effort of will. The font of dark magic burning in their souls makes them resistant to many forms of attack and arms them with dangerous power. Warlocks learn to harness their power to perform a small number of specific attacks and tricks called invocations. Warlocks make up for their lack of versatility by being tougher and more resilient than sorcerers or wizards. By harnessing his innate magical gift through fearsome determination and willpower, a Warlock can perform feats of supernatural stealth, beguile the weak-minded, or scour his foes with blasts of Eldritch power.

Base attack bonus progression: Medium

• Alignment Restrictions: Any Evil or Chaotic
• Hit Die: d6.
• Proficiencies: All simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields.
• Skill Points (Int Modifier * 4 at 1st level): 2 + Int Modifier.

**Class Skills**
Class skills: Bluff, Concentration, Heal, Intimidate, Lore, Spellcraft, Taunt and Use Magic Device.

Note here, the new feats available only to our Warlock. These are taken directly from the wiki, and you will note the two important ones here are "IMBUE ITEM" and "ELDRITCH BLAST". My intent for the blast is a simple enough one, just to use the Ray of enfeeblement vfx and have it deal damage (Less versus constructs/placeables) according to its wiki, see the following wiki for details on all these feats and feat abilities.:

http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Warlock

As I said before, Imbue item is the one that'll cause the most controversy, as it is an item creation feat. My intent for this, was to run a check on whatever spell focus the warlock has chosen, then to 'flip' it, so they can create wands/potions of the opposing spell school. You might even want it removed entirely. As I say though, I'm the numbers guy, you lot are the creative ones, I leave it in your more than capable hands.

Warlock Spell List
**Eldritch Blast**

A Warlock attacks his foes with Eldritch power, using baleful magical energy to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects. An Eldritch blast deals 1d6 points of magical damage at 1st level and increases in power as the Warlock rises in level (up to 14d6 by level 30). There is no Saving Throw with this attack, but Spell Resistance can negate it. This power can be used at will.

An Eldritch blast is a ray with a range of 60ft.
It is a ranged touch attack that affects a single target.
Half damage to objects and constructs.
is a weapon-like spell (Critical hit on a roll of 20, double damage on a critical hit)
Can only be invoked 1/day at level 1\. The warlock can, however, summon extra Eldritch blasts from 
level 3, 5, and 7\.  

At 2nd level the warlock gains a +2 bonus to his Lore and Spellcraft skills.

**Decieve Item**

From level 4 onwards, a Warlock gains a +4 bonus to Use Magic Device skill checks.

**Fiendish Resilience**

Once per day, for 20 rounds, the warlock gains fast healing. The value is 1 point from 8th level, 2 points from 13th level and 5 points from 18th level.

_Underway - "Favored Soul", "Swashbuckler" classes_

Heres a teaser you could post :

Its possible through scripting. I would recommend having an SQL table (A database) relating to your unique item properties, since storing all those variables in NWN would be CPU costly and doing it server side is just easier all round. Making an NWNX hook for something like "/cmd identify" is not as bad as you'd think. Remember and make an unidentify command though too, which fires when a PC dies/subdualled. This way when a mugger beats down a PC, they don't somehow gain innate knowledge on his stuff! You might also want to make the PC able to fire the unidentify script too.
