+

Version beta 1
+ Languages: English
+ Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux

+

Talents of Faerûn (ToF) is a collection of about 85 mini-mods for the Enhanced Edition versions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, and Icewind Dale, partially inspired by existing mods and tabletop Dungeons and Dragons resources. It contains many optional tweaks to various parts of gameplay, focusing on expanding and rebalancing player character abilities. Features include 150-odd new high-level abilities, a new 'feat' system where lower-level characters gain abilities every few levels, revisions to existing kits, new classes, new kits for multi-class characters, new types of magical specialization, a dozen or so new spells, many spell tweaks, 20-odd new gods for clerics to worship, a subrace system, a revised system of cleric/druid spells, and tweaks to the rules for ability scores and proficiencies.

+

Talents of Faerûn is currently in 'beta', meaning that I think it ought to be recreationally playable but almost certainly contains significant bugs that my own testing has not discovered. Use at own risk.

Overview

+
+
+
+
+

Talents of Faerûn (ToF) is a collection of mini-mods for the Enhanced Edition versions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, and Icewind Dale. It contains many optional tweaks to various parts of gameplay, focusing on expanding and rebalancing player character abilities. There are about 85 components in all; highlights include:

+
    +
  • A subrace system modeled on Icewind Dale II
    • +
  • A sphere system for cleric and druid spells, loosely based on pen-and-paper Advanced Dungeons and Dragons but heavily modified to reflect the needs of a computer game, along with about 20 new gods for clerics to worship
    • +
  • A new character class, the Favored Soul, which spontaneously casts cleric spells (i.e., a clerical-magic version of the Sorcerer or Shaman), along with about 25 kits for that class (one per god)
    • +
  • Implementation of the pen-and-paper rule that mage specialists must memorize at least one spell from their school at each level, along with the option to automatically add one correct-school spell to their spell book at each level
    • +
  • A new style of magic, elementalism, and four new mage kits who specialize in each of the four elements, along with significant revisions for elementals themselves
    • +
  • A new system for sorcerers—bloodlines—which grants a sorcerer additional known spells at the cost of making some spell schools inaccessible
    • +
  • The option for druids to multi-class as mages, rangers, or thieves
    • +
  • About 75 multi-classed kits, along with the option to dual-class from a single-classed to a multi-classed kit
    • +
  • A new proficiency system, very loosely based on 3rd edition D&D, where characters can use all weapons and begin proficient in a group of weapons dependent on their class, and where non-fighters can gain some level of weapon training
    • +
  • A new high-level ability system for Baldur's Gate II, including about 150 new abilities (some borrowed from classic mods, some original)
    • +
  • A new 'low-level ability' system, where characters gain a new ability every 3 levels; this is loosely based on Icewind Dale II's feat system.
    • +
  • A rebalancing of many of the original-game kits to work better in Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale
    • +
  • A number of rule chances to ability scores, inspired by 3rd edition D&D
    • +
  • A dozen or so new spells, along with a range of tweaks to existing spells
    • +
+

A hidden, common theme in ToF is that most of its changes rely to some extent on the ability to edit the user interface—something that the Enhanced Editions have made possible but which has been exploited to only a limited extent so far. (One major reason I wrote ToF was to build systematic ways to exploit this powerful new modding technique.)

+

Many components of ToF overlap with other mods, though the implementations are usually different. As always, you should read the documentation carefully and decide what is best for your game.

+
+
+

Compatibility

+
+
+
+
+

Games

+

Talents of Faerûn is + designed to work with any of the following install options:

+
    +
  • Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition (version 2.6), with or without the Siege of Dragonspear expansion
    • +
  • Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (version 2.6)
    • +
  • Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition (version 2.6)
    • +
+

It is probably largely compatible with the Enhanced Edition Trilogy (EET) combination of BGEE, BG2EE, and SoD (based on v2.6 of BGEE/BG2EE/SoD), but has had only limited testing on them. (What testing I have done assumes that the EET_End component of EET is installed before ToF, contra the official EET install instructions.) It may also work on versions 2.0-2.5 of the Enhanced Edition games, but they are not officially supported. It does not work on versions 1.3 and earlier.

+

ToF does not work with any non-Enhanced Edition game, and never will (it relies on new features of the Enhanced Editions).

+

Mods

+

ToF tries to be as compatibility-friendly as possible; however, it changes game files in quite sweeping ways that may conflict with other mods. I have limited testing information so far; my expectations are as follows.

+
    +
  • ToF really needs to be installed as late as possible in the install order. It should go before Sword Coast Stratagems and can probably cope with going before Tweaks Anthology; otherwise, install it last. If you have another mod that insists on being installed last because it makes large-scale changes to the game, that other mod is fairly likely to be incompatible with ToF.
    • +
  • ToF absolutely cannot be installed before any UI mod; doing so will almost certainly break your game. It might be able to cope with being installed after a UI mod, but I haven't tested this.
    • +
  • ToF will be incompatible with any other mod that makes the sort of changes to the game system that ToF does. For instance, it will be incompatible with other mods that introduce a sphere system (like Divine Remix), that add subraces (like Tipun's subrace mod), or that require specialists to learn spells from their school. Because of the way mods like these work, ToF will probably be incompatible with them even if you don't use the specific bit of ToF that overlaps with them. (I hope to be able to reduce the incompatibilities here in the medium term by sharing the code base that ToF uses.)
    • +
  • ToF is probably compatible with mods that use OlvynChuru's ClassSpellTool (such as OlvynChuru's Spell Pack), provided it is installed after them. (It is definitely not compatible with them if installed before them.)
    • +
  • The good news is that ToF ought to be compatible with most 'simple' (i.e., not systematically-rule-changing) kit, spell, item, quest, and NPC mods.
    • +
  • ToF should be compatible with my 'Sword Coast Stratagems' (SCS) mod, provided ToF is installed before SCS. SCS will detect ToF and respond to some of its components (it will use the new priest kits, new spells, and new HLAs, for instance).
    • +
+
+
+

Installation

+
+
+
+
+

You should start a new game after installing Talents of Faerûn. Many of its components will cause serious bugs if you try to use them in an existing game.

+

First time installing a mod? Check out G3's comprehensive tutorial: A New Player's Guide to Installing and Playing Mods.

+

Enhanced Editions Note
+ The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. It is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages.

+

Windows
+ Talents of Faerûn is distributed as a self-extracting archive and includes a WeiDU installer. To install, + simply double-click the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

+

Alternatively, the files can be extracted into your game directory using 7zip or WinRAR. + When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-dw_talents.exe and + the folder dw_talents. To install, double-click setup-dw_talents.exe and follow + the instructions on screen.

+

You can run setup-dw_talents.exe in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or + otherwise change components.

+

macOS
+ Talents of Faerûn for macOS is distributed as a compressed tarball and includes a WeiDU installer.

+

First, extract the files from the tarball into your game directory. When properly extracted, your + game directory will contain setup-dw_talents, setup-dw_talents.command, and the folder dw_talents. To install, + double-click setup-dw_talents.command and follow the instructions on screen.

+

You can run setup-dw_talents.command in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or + otherwise change components.

+

Linux
+ Talents of Faerûn for Linux is distributed as a compressed tarball and does not include a WeiDU installer.

+

Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify.

+

Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU.org and copy WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. + Following that, open a terminal, cd to your game installation directory, run tolower and answer Y to + both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in + the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the + first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time + you lowercased file names. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe + bet.

+

To install, run WeInstall dw_talents in your game folder. Then run wine BGMain.exe and start playing.

+

Batch mode installation option
+ ToF, like any multi-component mod, normally asks about a component, installs it, then asks about the next component. Since some of ToF's components can take a while to install, this can be tedious. ToF ships with an experimental 'batch mode': if you select this (by installing the 'batch mode' component, which should be the first component offered to you) then ToF will ask about all components first but will not install them. After you have chosen your components, you will be offered a new component, 'finish batch mode installation', which will then install all of them. After you've done this, a file (dw_talents.bat) will be created in the weidu_external/batch subfolder in your main game folder; clicking on it will uninstall and reinstall all your chosen options. (An optional alternative is to create the dw_talents.bat folder but not install anything.) Batch mode is currently only available for Windows installs (basically because I don't know how batch files work in OSX or Linux and don't have a testing environment for them).

+

Note for Complete Uninstallation
+ In addition to the methods above for removing individual components, you can completely uninstall + the mod using setup-dw_talents --uninstall at the command line to remove all components without + wading through prompts.

+
+
+

Detailed Contents

+
+
+
+
+

Unless otherwise noted, all components are for all (Enhanced Edition) forms of the game. Components that affect Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition (BGEE) also affect Siege of Dragonspear.

+

A number of the components are inspired by various tabletop roleplaying resources; see the acknowledgements for details.

+
+
+

Spell System Revisions and New Spells

+
+
+
+
+

Install Arcane Spells from Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
+ Not available for IWDEE

+

This component includes almost all the arcane spells in Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition that are not already included in Baldur's Gate. (I think Contact Outer Plane is the only exception on Enhanced Edition games). For the most part, if a spell is present already in BG2 then the IWD version is not used. Scrolls of the new spells are scattered throughout the game; they should be about as common as equivalent-level spells in the main system.

+

The system is slightly tweaked to resolve some thematic inconsistencies with the existing system:

+
    +
  • The IWD version of Mordenkainen's Sword summons a weapon which the caster can use at range, rather than summoning swords that act as independent monsters. Since both versions of the spell are quite fun, I have included the IWD version, renamed as Mordenkainen's Force Blade.
    • +
  • The IWD elemental animations look very different (bulkier, more humanoid) than the BG2 ones. To avoid visual awkwardness, I have used the existing BG2 water elemental animation instead of the IWD one.
    • +
  • The fifth-level IWD 'conjure water elemental' spell has been renamed 'conjure lesser water elemental' and a sixth-level 'conjure water elemental' spell has been added; the magical-battle aspect of elemental summoning has been removed.
    • +
  • The collection of creatures summoned by Monster Summoning has been systematically rebalanced, focusing on humanoid creatures; this is to avoid thematic overlap with spells like Spider Spawn and Carrion Summons.
    • +
  • The BG2 Emotion: Hopelessness spell has been overwritten by the IWD one, to ensure consistency with the other Emotion spells added by IWD.
    • +
  • In IWD, summoning spells have green icons; in BG2, they have red icons. I recolor all BG2 summoning spells to green.
    • +
+

A full list of arcane spells added, and documentation for each, can be found here.

+

SCS's 'Smarter Mages' AI will detect and use the IWD spells if they are installed.

+

Install Divine Spells from Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
+ Not available for IWDEE

+

This component includes pretty much all the divine spells in Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition that are not already included in Baldur's Gate. For the most part, if a spell is present already in BG2 then the IWD version is not used. Party-joinable spellcasters gain access to the new spells (provided you started a new game).

+

The system is slightly tweaked to resolve some thematic inconsistencies with the existing system:

+
    +
  • IWD's third-level 'Prayer' spell is about as powerful as BG's second-level 'Chant' spell, while the IWD version of 'Chant' halves the caster's movement and blocks their spellcasting. I split the difference, installing the IWD versions of both spells but removing the disable-spellcasting effect.
    • +
  • BG's sixth-level 'Physical Mirror' spell reflects all missiles and lasts nine rounds. IWD's sixth-level 'Entropy Shield' spell deflects all missiles, gives immunity to many spells, boosts damage resistance and armor class, and lasts one round per level. There's just no real reason to learn Physical Mirror in place of Entropy Shield. (Theoretically the reflection power is nice, but any half-way intelligent enemy will just notice it.) The simplest solution is to change the level of one of the spells; in my judgement Physical Mirror is underpowered for sixth level and Entropy Shield is about right, so I lower Physical Mirror to 5th level.
    • +
  • IWD restricts its Cause Wounds spells to evil casters (and its Cure Wounds spells to good casters), but the BG versions aren't so restricted. I remove the restrictions. (There is an ini option to override this; see here.) In addition, BG Cause Wounds require a melee hit, whereas IWD Cause Wounds are just range=touch; I standardize to the IWD version.
    • +
  • In IWD, summoning spells have green icons; in BG2, they have red icons. I recolor all BG2 summoning spells to green.
    • +
+

A full list of divine spells added, and documentation for each, can be found here.

+

SCS's 'Smarter Priests' AI will detect and use the IWD spells if they are installed.

+

Install Bard Songs from Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
+ Not available for IWDEE

+

In Icewind Dale, bards have six different songs to choose from (gaining access to the first at 1st level and to another at each odd level up to level 13). This component makes these songs available to (non-kitted) bards in the various Baldur's Gate games.

+

Use Baldur's Gate-Style Insects in Icewind Dale
+ Only available for IWDEE

+

This component replaces the Insect Plague and Creeping Doom spells from Icewind Dale (which summon fairly weak monsters) with the Baldur's Gate version (where the swarm does damage and disrupts spellcasting).

+

Make the Baldur's Gate Version of Mordenkainen's Sword (as well as the Icewind Dale version) Available in Icewind Dale
+ Only available for IWDEE

+

The IWD version of Mordenkainen's Sword summons a weapon which the caster can use at range, while the BG2 version summons swords that act as independent monsters. Since both versions of the spell are quite fun, this component makes the BG2 version available in Icewind Dale (and renames the IWD version to 'Mordenkainen's Force Blade').

+

Install All Spell Tweaks

+

This component installs the whole package of Stratagems of Mystra spell tweaks. (If you don't select it you will be given the chance to select tweaks by category.)

+

Full documentation for spell tweaks can be found here (broken down by mod component) or here (broken down by spell modified).

+ For more fine-grained control of which tweaks you install (beyond what the component system allows) see under customization. +

Core Stratagems Spell-System Changes (assumed by Sword Coast Stratagems mod)

+

These tweaks alter a range of spells, mostly but not entirely focused around a spellcaster's defenses and abilities to remove other creatures' defenses. What unites them is that all are assumed by the enemy AI in Sword Coast Stratagems, and enemy spellcasters may act quite strangely from time to time if this is not installed. These components will be automatically installed if you install any of SCS's AI or Tactical Challenge components if it is not installed here. (details)

+

Baldur's Gate-Inspired Tweaks to Icewind Dale Spells

+

Tweaks in this section alter Icewind Dale spells to more closely match how they work in Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate II. In most cases this slightly increases the power of the spell .(details)

+

Changes to Restoration

+

Tweaks in this section alter the Restoration and Lesser Restoration spells. (details)

+

Changes to Shapeshift Spells

+

Tweaks in this section alter shapeshift spells, making them more flexible and somewhat more powerful. (details)

+

Icewind Dale-inspired Tweaks to Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate II Spells

+

Tweaks in this section alter Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate II spells to more closely match how they work in Icewind Dale. In most cases this slightly increases the power of the spell. (details)

+

Rebalancings of Slightly-Too-Powerful Spells

+

Tweaks in this section rebalance various slightly too-powerful spells. The enemy AI in Sword Coast Stratagems will sometimes behave a little oddly if this component is not installed. (details)

+

Spell School Changes

+

Tweaks in this section alter the schools of certain mage spells. (details)

+

Spells Increased in Power

+

Tweaks in this section somewhat increase the power of various spells which (in my subjective judgement) were a little under-powered compared to similar spells at the same level. (details)

+

Add Nine New Arcane Spells

+

This component adds nine new arcane (sorcerer/wizard/bard) spells to the game, mostly focused on elemental effects. A full list can be found here. SCS's 'Smarter Mages' component will use most of these spells if they are installed.

+

Add Six New Divine Spells

+

This component adds six new arcane (cleric/druid) spells to the game, mostly borrowed from the Divine Remix mod. A full list can be found here. SCS's 'Smarter Priests' component will use some (to be honest, not many) of these spells if they are installed.

+

Revised Elementals
+ Requires either IWDEE or a mod (SCS, SoM, ToF, or IWDification) that introduces the IWD spells into BGEE or BG2EE.

+

This component revises the stats and abilities of the various elementals (earth/air/fire/water) that appear in the game or can be summoned, as well as the elemental-summoning spells themselves. The goal is to make elementals more interesting and varied, and to make elemental summoning a more interesting tactical option. Overall, elementals are significantly more powerful with this component installed. The detailed changes are as follows:

+
    +
  • The general statistics of elementals are systematized, and slightly improved at higher levels, as follows: +
      +
    • 8-HD elementals get Strength 18/00, Constitution 16, AC 2.
      • +
    • 12-HD elementals get Strength 20, Constitution 17, AC 0.
      • +
    • 16-HD elementals get Strength 21, Constitution 18, AC -2.
      • +
    • More powerful elementals get Strength 22, Constitution 20, AC -4.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Elementals get damage resistance depending on their type: air elementals get immunity to electricity and 75% resistance to missile damage, earth elementals get 50% resistance to slashing/piercing/missile damage and 25% vulnerability to crushing damage, fire elementals get 125% resistance to fire damage and 50% vulnerability to cold damage, water elementals get 75% resistance to crushing damage.
    • +
  • Elementals get type-specific melee abilities: +
      +
    • Air elementals are surrounded by a whirlwind effect which inflicts slashing damage dependent on their HD (2d8/rd at 8HD, 3d8/rd at 12HD, 4d8/rd at 16+HD) with additional damage to mist creatures, disperses clouds, and gives a 50% spell failure chance. Their attacks deal slashing and electrical damage: 2d10+1d6 electrical + at 8HD, 3d10 +2d6 electrical at 12-16HD, 4d10 +3d6 electrical for more powerful elementals.
      • +
    • Earth elementals' attacks inflict crushing damage: 3d8 at 8HD, 4d8 at 12HD, 5d8 at 16HD and above. Their attacks knock their opponents away unless they make a save vs. paralysis (at +2 for 8-HD elementals, at -2 for 16-HD elementals or more powerful elementals).
      • +
    • Fire elementals' attacks inflict a mixture of crushing and fire damage (2d8 + 2d6 fire at 8HD, 3d8 + 3d6 fire at 12-16HD, 4d8 + 4d6 fire at 16+ HD). Their attacks set victims on fire if they fail a save vs. breath weapon (at +2 for 8-HD elementals, at -2 for 16-HD elementals or more powerful elementals), inflicting the fire damage again each round (an additional saving throw may be attempted each round to extinguish the fire).
      • +
    • Water elementals are surrounded by a quenching aura that extinguishes fire shields and similar spells. Their attacks inflict crushing damage (3d6 at 8HD, 4d6 at 12-16HD, 5d6 for more powerful elementals) and can partially drown their victims if they fail a save vs. spells (at +2 for 8-HD elementals, at -2 for 16-HD elementals or more powerful elementals). Drowning creatures are slowed, -4 to hit, -4 AC, -4 saves, can't spellcast, and take 1d3 magic damage per second; a new saving throw can be attempted at the end of each round.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • More powerful elementals (16+ HD) receive innate powers usable once per 10 rounds: Whirlwind for air elementals, Spike Stones for earth elementals, Shroud of Flame for fire elementals, Smashing Wave for water elementals.
    • +
  • Priest elemental-summoning spells are tweaked to differentiate 6th- and 7th-level spells, and to allow summoning of all four elemental types: +
      +
    • The 6th level priest spell 'Conjure Fire Elemental' now has a 60% chance of calling a 12-HD elemental, a 35% chance of calling a 16-HD elemental, and a 5% chance of calling a 24-HD elemental.
      • +
    • The 7th level priest spell 'Conjure Earth Elemental' now has a 70% chance of calling a 16-HD elemental and a 30% chance of calling a 24-HD elemental.
      • +
    • A 6th-level priest spell 'Conjure Water Elemental' is introduced, with a 60% chance of calling a 12-HD elemental, a 35% chance of calling a 16-HD elemental, and a 5% chance of calling a 24-HD elemental.
      • +
    • A 7th-level priest spell 'Conjure Air Elemental' is introduced, with a 70% chance of calling a 16-HD elemental and a 30% chance of calling a 24-HD elemental.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • The quest spell 'Elemental Summoning' has been renamed 'Elemental Swarm' and now summons four 16-HD elementals, one from each elemental plane.
    • +
+
+
+

Races and Subraces

+
+
+
+
+

Add New Races and Subraces

+

This component adds Icewind Dale II-style subraces for dwarves, elves, gnomes, and halflings. Subraces are selected when you generate a character: if you select a race with subraces, you will be offered a menu to select from. There are three dwarven subraces (shield dwarves, gold dwarves, gray dwarves), five elven subraces (moon elves, sun elves, wild elves, wood elves, drow), two gnomish subraces (rock gnomes, deep gnomes), and three halfling subraces (lightfoot, strongheart, ghostwise). The component also adds a new category of races, 'planetouched' (meaning creatures whose ancestry is partly other-planar) which contains six further races: aasimar, tieflings, air genasi, earth genasi, fire genasi, and water genasi. (Planetouched creatures count as human for the purposes of multi-classing and class choices.) And it slightly improves the basic abilities granted to humans and half-orcs.

+

The powers and weaknesses of these races and subraces are based on a mixture of D&D 2nd and 3rd edition. They're 'balanced' in the sense that I don't think any race you choose will imbalance the wider game. I haven't made that much effort to strictly balance them one against another: a deep gnome, for instance, is probably just better than a rock gnome. A full list of races, subraces, and their powers can be found here.

+

Ideally, a component like this would also alter in-game dialog options and responses, so that NPCs react to your race/subrace—especially for 'exotic' races like tieflings or gray dwarves. I haven't (yet) done this, though.

+

Two choices are barred on BG/BG2: you can't play as a drow (because it would break the plot of BG2 chapter 5) and you can't play as an aasimar (because I find a Bhaalspawn aasimar a bit implausible). If you want to ignore the story-based problems with these choices, you can reactivate them using dw_talents.ini; there's no mechanical problem with either.

+
+
+

Class and Kit Revisions

+
+
+
+
+

Eliminate Class/Race Restrictions and Most Class/Ability Score Restrictions

+

This component makes all classes available to PCs of any race, allows PC mages of any race to specialize in any school of magic, and allows both humans and non-humans to dual-class and multi-class. It reduces all ability score requirements to 10, and eliminates the high ability score requirements for dual-classing. In-game text descriptions during character creation are altered to allow for these changes.

+

Kit race restrictions are lifted when they coincide with their parent class's race restrictions, but not otherwise. In an otherwise-unmodded game, the only kit not available to all races in this fashion is the Dwarven Defender.

+

There are no animations available for non-human monks, so I repurpose the priest animation for them. As a consequence, non-human monks won't have the flashy unarmed-combat animation that human monks do.

+

If this component is installed, multi-class gnome mages will no longer be illusionists. If you want to create gnome illusionists, use the 'Allow Multi-Class Mages to Specialize' component.

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component.

+

Revised Class Alignment Rules

+

This component alters the alignment restrictions for several classes, broadly in accord with 3rd edition D&D (and with Icewind Dale II). All changes are included in the in-game documentation. The specific changes are:

+
    +
  • Druids (including multi-class druids) are now only required to have a partially neutral alignment: they can be neutral good, neutral evil, lawful neutral, or chaotic neutral as well as true neutral. Jaheira and Faldorn (if applicable) have their alignment changed (respectively) to neutral good and neutral evil, to reflect their in-game behavior. (You can disable this using the ini if you want.)
    • +
  • Rangers (and cleric-rangers) are now permitted to be of any alignment. Rangers no longer fall if their reputation gets too low, and (in BG2) a few lines of dialog that refer to the risk of a PC ranger Falling are removed.
    • +
  • Thieves (except for assassins) may now be of any alignment.
    • +
  • Assassins may no longer be good-aligned.
    • +
+

Icewind Dale-Style Paladins
+ Not available for IWDEE

+

This component gives paladins in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II the modified (and mostly enhanced) powers they receive in Icewind Dale:

+
    +
  • The paladin can use Detect Evil at will.
    • +
  • The paladin is immune to all diseases and can cure disease once per day, by touch.
    • +
  • At third level, the paladin becomes immune to fear.
    • +
  • Once per day, the paladin can use Smite Evil to call down a beam of holy light onto a single evil target, for 1d6 damage + 1d6 per three levels.
    • +
  • The paladin may use Protection from Evil once per day only, it affects only the paladin, and has a duration of 4 hours (24 turns).
    • +
  • The paladin is able to cast cleric spells from 6th level rather than 9th level.
    • +
+

Revised Smite Evil
+ Requires either Icewind Dale, or the 'Icewind Dale-Style Paladins' component.

+

This component revises the paladin's Smite Evil power to more closely resemble the 3rd edition D&D power which inspires it. Instead of directly striking a foe, the power affects the paladin's attacks: they receive a Charisma-dependent bonus to melee attacks against evil creatures until their next successful attack, and that attack then does 1d6 magic damage, +1d6 per two levels above first level.

+

Higher-Level Paladins Get Additional Uses of Lay on Hands and Smite Evil

+

This component grants paladins additional uses of their Lay on Hands and (if you're using it) Smite Evil powers as they gain level. An additional use of Lay on Hands is gained at 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter; an additional use of Smite Evil is gained at 7th level and every 8 levels thereafter.

+

(Partly this tracks the way these powers work in 3rd edition D&D; partly it's my subjective assessment that other classes and kits tend to give out extra uses of similarly-powerful abilities.)

+

Icewind Dale-Style Bard Songs
+ Not available for IWDEE

+

This component gives Bards in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II six different bard songs (gained as they gain levels), to match the Icewind Dale version of the bard. The songs gained are:

+
    +
  • 1st level: The Ballad of Three Heroes (allies within 30ft. get +1 to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws)
    • +
  • 3rd level: The Tale of Curran Strongheart (allies within 30ft. are immune to fear, and any fear effects on them are removed)
    • +
  • 5th level: Tymora's Melody (allies within 30ft. get +1 to luck, +3 to saving throws, +10 to lore, and +10% to all thieving skills)
    • +
  • 7th level: The Song of Kaudies (allies within 30ft. have a 50% chance to shrug off the effects of spells such as Silence, Shout, Great Shout, Command, Greater Command, or any other sound-based attack)
    • +
  • 9th level: The Siren's Yearning (enemies within 30 ft. must make a Will save or become enthralled, unable to take action until 1 round passes or they take damage)
    • +
  • 11th level: War Chant of Sith (allies within 30ft. get +2 to Armor Class, +10% resistance to slashing, piercing, crushing, and missile damage, and regenerate 2 hit points per round)
    • +
+

As in Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, only trueclass (non-kitted) bards get these new bard songs.

+

Thieves Gain the Evasion Ability (on a successful save for half damage against abilities that require you to dodge, take no damage)
+ Not available for IWDEE

+

With this component installed, thieves (single and multi-classed) gain the Evasion ability at 7th level. This allows the thief, on making a successful saving throw for half damage from a spell or effect, to entirely avoid the effect.

+

Evasion applies to spells or effects which require the character to dodge or jump clear, like Fireball and Lightning Bolt. It does not apply to spells like Holy Smite (which require willpower to resist) or Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting (which requires fortitude and resilience to resist). A full list of affected spells can be found here.

+

Several other components of Talents of Faerûn install the content of this component automatically.

+

Modified Thief Evasion
+ Only available for IWDEE

+

This component slightly revises the thief's Evasion talent. Instead of making a separate saving throw to see if they can evade the attack, the thief now uses the same saving throw they made against the attack itself; also, the list of affected spells and items is slightly modified, so that Evasion applies only to spells and effects that require the character to dodge or jump clear, like Fireball and Lightning Bolt. It does not apply to spells like Holy Smite (which require willpower to resist) or Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting (which requires fortitude and resilience to resist). A full list of affected spells can be found here.

+

This component is actually identical to the previous component; they are listed under different names for different versions of the game to avoid confusion and cumbersome names.

+

Rebalanced Thief and Bounty Hunter Traps at Low Levels

+

The snares that thieves (and bounty hunters) can set are balanced for Baldur's Gate II and are a bit overpowered at low levels, as well as remaining unchanged until level 11. This component introduces slightly weaker 1st-level snares, with the original versions granted at level 6.

+

Specifically:

+
    +
  • a 1st-level rogue's snare does 1d8+5 damage (previously 2d8+5)
    • +
  • a 6th-level rogue's snare does 2d8+5 damage (previously 3d8+5) and slows the target for 5 rounds if they fail an unmodified save vs. spell (previously it was a save vs. spell at -4)
    • +
+

Revised Druid Shapeshifting

+

This component significantly revises the druid's (and the Avenger's) shapeshift ability, somewhat inspired by Icewind Dale. Druids now gain one use of a general Shapeshift ability at third level, and then another use every three levels after that. The available forms vary by level, and are selected at the time the spell is cast:

+
    +
  • At 3rd level, the only form available is Wolf.
    • +
  • At 5th level, Black Bear is added.
    • +
  • At 7th level, the Wolf form is upgraded to a Dire Wolf, and Boring Beetle is added.
    • +
  • At 9th level, the Black Bear form is upgraded to a Cave Bear (or to a Polar Bear in IWD:EE).
    • +
  • At 12th level, Lesser Elementals (of all four elements) are added.
    • +
  • At 15th level, the Lesser Elemental forms are upgraded to Elementals.
    • +
+ (In Icewind Dale, druids got access to Winter Wolves; I removed this as it seemed to go against the idea that druid forms should be natural, nonintelligent animals.) Full documentation for druids' shapeshift forms is here. +

Avengers gain forms every 2nd level rather than every 3rd, and have access to new forms:

+
    +
  • At 4th level, Hunting Spider is added.
    • +
  • At 6th level, Baby Wyvern is added.
    • +
  • At 7th level, the Wolf form is upgraded to a Winter Wolf instead of a Dire Wolf.
    • +
  • At 8th level, the Hunting Spider form is upgraded to a Sword Spider.
    • +
  • At 10th level, the Baby Wyvern form is upgraded to a Wyvern.
    • +
+ (The underlying idea is that Avengers have access to monstrous 'animals' as well as natural ones. From that perspective the Fire Salamander, an intelligent extraplanar creature, is out of place.) Avengers' additional forms are fully documented here. +

Druids Use Cleric XP and Spell Tables

+

The XP tables for druids in IWD, BG and BG2 are based (to varying degree) on 2nd edition Dungeons and Dragons, and hence inherit some oddities that don't really make sense in a CRPG (and frankly were kind of questionable in D&D too). Even though druids and clerics have the same spell-advancement rate and are otherwise fairly comparable in power, their XP requirements are quite out of sync: druids initially require more XP than clerics, then require much less, and then (in BG2) need a staggering 750,000 XP to get from level 13 to level 14 and an astonishing 1,500,000 XP to get from level 14 to level 15. The spell table in BG2 in turn compensates by giving druids massively more spells as soon as they hit level 15. (Icewind Dale smooths out the XP table to something saner after level 14 and doesn't include the big increase in spells.)

+

This component cuts through all this and just gives druids the same XP and spell progression as clerics. (This is determined dynamically, so any changes other mods have made to cleric tables will be mirrored.)

+

Revised Speciality Priests of Lathander/Helm/Talos/Tempus/Tyr

+

This component revises the five speciality priests (i.e., cleric kits) in the unmodded game. The revisions are partly to make the kits more balanced at low levels (they are balanced for Baldur's Gate II and some of their powers are excessive for the early stages of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale). Partly, they just (I hope!) make the kits a bit more interesting and varied.

+

The new kits gain a somewhat modified and expanded list of unique powers, and gain them at various levels rather than having them automatically. They also have slightly customized spell lists—e.g., priests of Talos have access to air spells as well as a few other spells associated with lightning or destruction.

+

Full documentation for the modified kits can be found here.

+

In addition, the component makes some small script and dialog changes in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II to recognize the protagonist's faith in appropriate situations (e.g., in the temple of your god).

+

This component makes use of the ToF revised sphere system, which is documented here.

+

Modified Cleric Stronghold Quest for Priests of any God except Lathander/Helm/Talos
+ Only available for BG2EE, EET

+

The cleric stronghold quests in Baldur's Gate II very strongly presume that your character worships one of Lathander, Helm and Talos. This shows up in small ways (various dialog cues assume it) and larger ways (you have a series of quests that require you to advise worshipers, and you are judged according to how well your advice fits the way of 'your' god). It fits badly to priests of other gods, like Tyr and Tempus in the unmodded (Enhanced Edition) game, and any added by third-party mods.

+

This component modifies the cleric stronghold quest for priests outside the 'core three' priesthoods. The new quest is a bit shorter, has somewhat more appropriate dialog, and omits the conversations with the worshipers. The final event of the stronghold quest (the battle between the temples) triggers automatically after sufficient time has passed (4 in-game weeks by default, though it is accelerated later in the game). The component also adds some god-specific lines for priests of Tyr, Tempus, and the faiths introduced by the 'New Choices of God/Goddess for Speciality Priests' component from Talents of Faerûn. Because the quest is shorter, it does not count as a stronghold for the purposes of determining whether you can get another stronghold.

+

Allow Monks to Use Staffs

+

The Infinity Engine games don't allow monks to use staffs, despite the staff being an iconic monk weapon; this is for technical reasons, not as a design choice. This component works around those technical reasons and allows staff-wielding monks.

+

As an unavoidable side-effect, human monks will slightly change the color of their clothing when they equip a staff. If you are using non-human monks from the 'Allow All Class/Race Combinations' component, they will not be affected in this way.

+

(What's actually going on is that the 'wielding two-handed weapons' animation of the human monk is repurposed by the core game for unarmed combat, so that if you let a monk use a staff, it isn't synchronized with the character's actual movements and seems to float in the air. But the human monk animation is otherwise just a slight recoloring of the human fighter. I program all the two-handed weapons in the game to change a monk's animation to the fighter animation when equipped. Non-human monks are using the priest animation anyway so the issue doesn't arise.)

+

Adjust Opposition Schools for Speciality Mages

+

Icewind Dale and the Baldur's Gate games use different sets of opposition schools (schools that specialist wizards can't learn) from one another, and neither is exactly what is used in the AD&D game on which both are based. This component lets you choose which system to use: the Baldur's Gate system (least restrictive), the Icewind Dale system, AD&D, or a custom version very closely based on AD&D that's slightly less harsh for illusionists. In-game documentation will be updated to reflect your choice.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+

Require Speciality Mages to Memorize at Least One Spell per Level from their Speciality School

+

In the unmodded game, the main benefit for being a specialist is that you get one extra spell per level, but that spell can be anything you like—so specialists are defined more by the schools they can't use than by their supposed speciality. This component (which follows pen-and-paper Dungeons and Dragons) requires the additional spell to be from the speciality school. If you are selecting your last spell at a given level and have not yet memorized a spell from your speciality school, all spells not from that school will be grayed out and unselectable. (The only exception is if there are no spells from that school at that level.) In-game documentation is updated and your speciality kit description includes a complete list of spells from your chosen school.

+

This component also makes a few minor changes to existing schools, to standardize differences that apply between IWD and BG/BG2:

+
    +
  • Lower Resistance is Abjuration/Alteration. (It's Alteration in IWD, Abjuration in BG/BG2.)
    • +
  • Fire Shield: Red, Fire Shield: Blue, Death Fog and Melf's Minute Meteors are all Alteration/Invocation, matching IWD. (In BG/BG2, they're all plain Alteration.)
    • +
  • Tenser's Transformation and Otiluke's Resilient Sphere are both Alteration/Invocation, again matching IWD. (In BG/BG2, they're both plain Invocation.)
    • +
+

If you use this component together with 'Include Arcane Spells from Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition', 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells ', 'Move Power Words to the School of Enchantment', and 'Move Symbols to the School of Enchantment', you should find that there are sufficiently many more-or-less useful spells at every level for each speciality to have reasonable options, with the exception of Diviners.

+

Allow Multi-Classed and Dual-Classed Mages to Become Specialists and Wild Mages

+

This component permits cleric/mage, fighter/mage, mage/thief, fighter/mage/cleric and fighter/mage/thief characters to be wild mages or specialist mages, instead of generalists. In-game documentation is adjusted to recognize this change.

+

Existing racial restrictions on specialities are enforced: unless you have installed 'Eliminate Class/Race Restrictions and Most Class/Ability Score Restrictions' then elves can only be diviners, enchanters, and wild mages; half-elves can be conjurers, diviners, enchanters, transmuters, and wild mages; and gnomes are automatically illusionists.

+

The component also permits unkitted characters who dual-class into mages to become specialists or wild mages. Again, existing racial restrictions are enforced; so are ability-score requirements (again, unless you have deactivated them via 'Eliminate Class/Race Restrictions and Most Class/Ability Score Restrictions').

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component.

+

Speciality Mages Automatically Get One Speciality Spell at Each Level (where possible)

+

This component does not need 'Require Speciality Mages to Memorize at Least One Spell per Level from their Speciality School' to be installed, but it is designed with it in mind: by making sure that specialists always know at least one spell of each level, it prevents the serious weakness (and annoyance) that occurs when a mage has just failed to find any spells of their speciality at the appropriate level.

+

Dragon Disciples can be Disciples of Any Chromatic Dragon (Red/Blue/Green/Black/White)

+

In the unmodded game, all Dragon Disciples are specifically disciples of red dragons. This component allows sorcerers to be disciples of any chromatic dragon type: red, blue, green, black, white. The character's elemental resistance and breath weapon damage will be tied to their dragon type: red=fire, blue=electricity, green=poison, black=acid, white=cold.

+

Rebalanced and Revised Kits

+

Nearly all the kits in the unmodded game come from the original Baldur's Gate II, and many of them are not really well balanced for the other games—many kits gain powerful abilities too early, since the BG2 kits were only designed to be used from 7th level onward; some kits provide static benefits for long periods in the early game (e.g. the Jester's song, which is fixed from 1st level to 14th level); some abilities are specifically based around Shadows of Amn content (such as the cavalier's resistance to fire and acid, the two elemental damage types used by dragons in Shadows of Amn). In addition, a few kits (in my judgement) are a little too weak or strong.

+

This component modifies the following kits (main changes are listed):

+
    +
  • Assassin: sneak attack increases at 1/3 levels; on IWD, Poison Weapon is changed to function as the (better-balanced) BGEE/BG2EE version
    • +
  • Barbarian: Rage power scales with level (immunities are gained gradually until level 14, not all at once)
    • +
  • Berserker: Rage power scales with level (extra hit points are level-dependent; immunities are gained gradually until level 14, not all at once)
    • +
  • Blade: Defensive Spin gained at level 3; Offensive Spin gained at level 5.
    • +
  • Cavalier: resistances changed to all elemental types; begins at 10% and increases by 5% every 5 levels; immunity to poison/charm gained gradually; may evade dragon breath weapons entirely on a successful save at level 12
    • +
  • Dragon Disciple: gains immunity to paralysis at level 7 and immunity to charm at level 13.
    • +
  • Inquisitor: True Sight replaced by Detect Invisibility until level 9; immunity to paralysis/charm gained gradually; dispel magic not gained until 3rd level.
    • +
  • Jester: bard song gradually improves with level
    • +
  • Shapeshifter: weaker werewolf form until 7th level; stronger form at 19th level; old werewolf forms are replaced by new ones once gained
    • +
  • Skald: bard song gradually improves with level
    • +
  • Totemic Druid: spirit animals continue to increase in power with level up to 16th level.
    • +
  • Undead Hunter: bonuses to hit and immunities gained gradually until 9th level, not all at once
    • +
  • Wizard Slayer: magic resistance changed to 20% + 1%/level
    • +
+ Cleric kits are unmodified by this component because the 'Revised Speciality Priests of Lathander/Helm/Talos/Tempus/Tyr' handles them. The Bounty Hunter kit is affected by the 'Rebalanced Thief and Bounty Hunter Traps at Low Levels' component. The Avenger kit is affected by the 'Revised Druid Shapeshifting' component. The Kensai, Dwarven Defender, Swashbuckler, Shadowdancer, and Totemic Druid kits, and all Ranger kits, are not affected. +

Full documentation for any kits altered by Talents of Faerûn (except cleric speciality priests) may be found here.

+
+
+

New Classes and Kits

+
+
+
+
+

New Wizard Specializations: Elemental Specialists

+

This component adds a new style for specialist wizards: elemental magic. Elementalists shun the traditional division of magic into schools, and instead embrace the power of spells focused on a single element: earth, air, fire, or water.

+

As with conventional specialists, elementalists receive one extra spell per level, which must be from their preferred element (assuming there are any elemental spells of that level). They are barred from learning spells from the element opposed to their own: air opposes earth, fire opposes water. There is at least one spell of each element at each level (some come from the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' component), and elementalists automatically add one spell of their element to their spellbook for each level of spells they can cast (so that they will always be able to memorize at least one elemental spell of each level). A full list of spells for each element may be found here.

+

Elementalists gain a +25% chance of learning a spell of their preferred element and a +15% chance of learning spells from the two elements not opposed to their own. They also gain 10% resistance to, and +20% damage when using, one particular damage type: electricity for air elementalists, acid for earth elementalists, fire for fire elementalists, cold for water elementalists.

+

Elementalists have no racial or ability-score restrictions beyond those which apply to mages. If you have installed 'Allow Multi-Classed Mages to Become Specialists and Wild Mages' then multi-classed mages can also become elementalists.

+

By default, this component requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed) and the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' component of ToF. This is because without these extra spells, there aren't really enough elemental spells to make the specialities fun. If you want to bypass this for any reason you can do so via the ini.

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component and (for technical reasons) the 'No Intelligence-Based Spell Restrictions' component.

+

New Wizard Specialization: Force Mage

+

This component adds another new style for specialist wizards: force magic. Force mages specialize in spells that directly produce or manipulate pure magical energy to launch telekinetic attacks, strike with magic missiles or magical blades, hold foes immobile or stunned, or protect the caster with force fields. The cost is that they are untrained with magic that summons impure—that is, elemental—energies.

+

As with conventional specialists, force mages receive one extra spell per level, which must be from the list of Force spells. They are barred from learning spells associated with any of the four elements: air (including electricity), earth (including acid), fire, and water (including cold and ice). A full list of spells for each element, and a list of force spells, may be found here.

+

Force mages gain a +25% chance of learning a force spell. They also gain 10% resistance to magical damage, and +20% damage when using effects or spells that inflict magical damage.

+

Force mages have no racial or ability-score restrictions beyond those which apply to mages. If you have installed 'Allow Multi-Classed Mages to Become Specialists and Wild Mages' then multi-classed mages can also become force mages.

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component and (for technical reasons) the 'No Intelligence-Based Spell Restrictions' component.

+

New Wizard Kits: Militant Wizards

+

Militant Wizards train for physical as well as magical combat. They can become proficient, or specialized, in any weapon, and have some ability to cast spells while wearing armor: they can cast spells in leather, studded leather, and hide armor from 1st level; from 7th level they can also cast spells in chainmail or scale mail; from 15th level they can also cast spells in splint mail or plate mail (but not in full plate).

+

All militant wizards specialize in one or other school of magic, although not all schools are suited to the class: militant wizards can be abjurers, conjurers, invokers, or necromancers. Because of their physical training, they are less versatile than other specialists, being barred from three schools of magic rather than one or two.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
SpecialityOpposed Schools
Abjurer Alteration, Divination, Illusion
Conjurer Alteration, Divination, Invocation
InvokerConjuration, Enchantment, Illusion
Necromancer Alteration, Enchantment, Illusion
+

Militant wizards may not multi-class. They have the same ability score restrictions (if any) as standard specialists. Any class capable of becoming a mage may become a militant wizard of any speciality school.

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component and (for technical reasons) the 'No Intelligence-Based Spell Restrictions' component.

+

New Sorcerer Kit: Bloodrager

+

Bloodragers are sorcerers whose innate magical power is tied to a deep reservoir of buried rage. While most spellcasters require some level of calm and discipline to use their magic to best effect, bloodragers can enter a state of savage fury while still drawing on their powerful magic abilities.

+

Bloodragers receive the berserker's rage ability, and are somewhat better trained in weapons and armor than normal sorcerers (they can use any melee weapon; they can become specialized in any weapon; they can use light armor; they receive +1 to hit per 3 levels, partly compensating for sorcerers' poor attack rolls; they have 1d6 hit points per level). However, they are sharply restricted in their choice of spells: they can only learn spells from the schools of abjuration, alteration, invocation, and necromancy.

New Choices of God/Goddess for Speciality Priests

+

This component introduces 23 additional gods and goddesses for a cleric to worship (in addition to the five in the baseline game: Helm, Lathander, Talos, Tempus and Tyr). Clerics of these powers receive appropriate special abilities and also choose spells from slightly altered spell lists, using the Talents of Faerûn sphere system..

+

This component borrows some ideas, some icons and other files, and some dialog from the Divine Remix mod. I'm grateful to CamDawg, co-author of that mod, for permission to do so.

+

On any install, the following 20 additional gods and goddesses are added:

+
    +
  • Auril, the Frostmaiden
    • +
  • Azuth, the Lord of Spells
    • +
  • Baervan Wildwanderer, the Forest Gnome (gnomes, elves and half-elves only)
    • +
  • Clangeddin, the Father of Battle (dwarves only)
    • +
  • Corellon Larethian, Creator of the Elves (elves only)
    • +
  • Gruumsh One-Eye, god of the orcs (half-orcs only)
    • +
  • Ilmater, the Painbearer
    • +
  • Kossuth, the Lord of Flames
    • +
  • Lolth, the Queen of the Spiders (female elves and half-elves only)
    • +
  • Malar, the Beastlord
    • +
  • Mask, the Lord of Shadows
    • +
  • Moradin, the Dwarffather (dwarves only)
    • +
  • Mystra, the Mother of All Magic
    • +
  • Oghma, the Lord of Knowledge
    • +
  • Selûne, the Moonmaiden
    • +
  • Shar, the Lady of Loss
    • +
  • Sune, Lady Firehair
    • +
  • Talona, the Lady of Poison
    • +
  • Tymora, the Lady of Luck
    • +
  • Umberlee, evil goddess of the sea
    • +
+

On an IWD install, these three evil gods are also included:

+
    +
  • Bane, the Black Lord
    • +
  • Bhaal, the Lord of Murder
    • +
  • Myrkul, the Lord of the Dead
    • +
+

At the time of the Baldur's Gate saga, all three are dead; on a BG or BG2 install, you instead get these three gods:

+
    +
  • Cyric, the Black Sun
    • +
  • Velsharoon, the Archmage of Necromancy
    • +
  • Iyachtu Xvim, the Godson
    • +
+

(Priests of Cyric, game-mechanically, are pretty much equivalent to priests of Bhaal; priests of Velsharoon are pretty much equivalent to priests of Myrkul; priests of Iyachtu Xvim are pretty much equivalent to priests of Bane.)

+

Unless otherwise noted, all gods and goddesses introduced may be worshiped by clerics of any race.

+

By default, priests of Auril, Myrkul and Talona are not available as player characters in Icewind Dale, and priestesses of Lolth and Umberlee are not available as player characters in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II. In both cases, this is for plot reasons: having a priest of that deity in your party would mess with the plot in significant ways. These gods are installed in any case and are usable by enemy NPCs (if you install Sword Coast Stratagems). You can enable these choices for player characters via the ini if you want, though in-game dialog will not really respond appropriately.

+

On a BG or BG2 install, Viconia becomes a cleric of Shar.

+

This component requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane and divine spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed from Sword Coast Stratagems, IWDification, or Talents of Faerûn) and the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' and 'Add Six New Divine Spells' components of ToF.

+

New Class: Favored Soul

+

Favored souls are spellcasters with an innate connection to a particular god or goddess. They are similar to clerics, but their power flows directly from their patron, without any need to study the litanies of a church. In game terms, they cast spells spontaneously, like a sorcerer or shaman, but choose their spells from the cleric list (with some modifications according to their faith). They lack the ability to turn undead, but gain additional known spells based on the god or goddess they serve.

+

Favored souls must select a god/goddess to serve at character creation, chosen from almost all of those included in Talents of Faerûn as well as the 'core five' in the unmodded game. For the purposes of dialog options, strongholds, and the like, they are treated as clerics of their chosen deity. ('Under the hood', favored souls are formally a set of kits for shamans, but hopefully this should not be visible in-game.)

+

This component requires the 'New Choices of God/Goddess for Speciality Priests' component to be installed. It also requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane and divine spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed) and the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' and 'Add Six New Divine Spells' components of ToF.

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component, and makes use of the ToF revised sphere system, which is documented here.

+

Druids May Multi-Class as Mages, Rangers, and Thieves

+

This component introduces three new multi-class options: druid/mage, druid/ranger, and druid/thief. All three are legal 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons classes, but were omitted from Baldur's Gate. These work as you would expect: all three are restricted to druid weapon choices, druid/mages cannot cast spells in armor, and druid/thieves cannot use thief skills in armor heavier than studded leather. All three classes are correctly treated as druid multi-classes in in-game conversations (for instance, in Baldur's Gate II they all will be offered the druid stronghold, as well as the stronghold corresponding to their other class). The component also adjusts cleric/rangers so as to use the cleric spell list (in the unmodded game they used the druid list).

+

These classes are available to the same races as (respectively) the cleric/mage, cleric/ranger, and cleric/thief. So in an otherwise unmodded game, only half-elves can be druid/mages and druid/rangers, and only gnomes can be druid/thieves. If you install the 'Eliminate Class/Race Restrictions and Most Class/Ability Score Restrictions' component, all races can select these classes.

+

Druid/mages cannot specialize in a school of magic, even if you have 'Allow Multi-Classed and Dual-Classed Mages to Become Specialists and Wild Mages' installed. They can, however, become elementalists if 'New Wizard Specializations: Elemental Specialists' and 'Allow Multi-Classed and Dual-Classed Mages to Become Specialists and Wild Mages' are both installed. Druid/Elementalists cannot use priest spells associated with their opposing element, and (if you are using Icewind Dale and/or 'Revised Druid Shapeshifting') cannot shapeshift into an elemental of the opposed type.

+

Druid/mages and druid/thieves must conform to the alignment restrictions of druids (i.e., they must be neutral, or must be at least partly neutral if you have installed an appropriate component). Druid/rangers must be at least partly neutral.

+

There are a couple of technical limitations to note:

+
    +
  • Multi-class druids use the spell and XP progression tables of clerics (even if you have not installed the 'Druids Use Cleric XP and Spell Tables' component.)
    • +
  • Druid/Rangers will be asked to select one too many mage spells to memorize at character creation. (The extra spells will be grayed out and uncastable; you can delete them from your memorized spells in-game.)
    • +
+

('Under the hood', these limitations reflect the fact that technically these are all kits of the respective cleric multi-classes—but hopefully this should be pretty much invisible in game!)

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component, and makes use of the ToF revised sphere system, which is documented here.

+
+
+

Multi-Classed/Dual-Classed Kits

+
+
+
+
+

These components introduce new kits for multi-classed characters, or for characters who dual-class. Each is (approximately) a combination of two single-classed kits, or of an unkitted class and a single-classed kit. There are about 70 of these kits (the exact number depends on other installation choices, and on whether you are playing IWD, BG, or BG2) and at least one is available for almost all multi-class combinations (currently fighter/mage/thief is the only exception).

+

Multi-classed characters can select these kits at character creation; unless otherwise noted, they are available to all races. Dual-classed characters must dual-class into these kits provided that their initial class and kit must match one or other part of the multi-classed kit. For instance, a wizard slayer or a priest of Helm can dual-class into a Magehunter of Helm (wizard slayer/priest of Helm), while an unkitted fighter or a priest of Lathander can dual-class into a Templar of Lathander (fighter/priest of Lathander). Dual-classing characters have to respect the alignment, ability and racial requirements of the kit.

+

Full documentation of all multi-classed kits introduced by Talents of Faerûn can be found here.

+

This component automatically installs the contents of the 'Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu' component. Druid and cleric multi-class components also make use of the ToF revised sphere system, which is documented here.

+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Fighter/Clerics

+

This component introduces 14 new kits for fighter/clerics:

+
    +
  • Axe of Clangeddin (fighter/priest of Clangeddin; dwarves only)
    • +
  • Battlerager of Clangeddin (berserker/priest of Clangeddin; dwarves only)
    • +
  • Berserker-Priest of Tempus (berserker/priest of Tempus)
    • +
  • Champion of Tyr (fighter/priest of Tyr)
    • +
  • Dark Knight of Bane (fighter/priest of Bane; IWD only)
    • +
  • Fury of Talos (barbarian/priest of Talos)
    • +
  • Guardian of Helm (fighter/priest of Helm)
    • +
  • Hammer of Moradin (fighter/priest of Moradin)
    • +
  • Knight of Iyachtu Xvim (fighter/priest of Iyachtu Xvim; BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Magehunter of Helm (wizard slayer/priest of Helm)
    • +
  • Raging Flame of Kossuth (berserker/priest of Kossuth)
    • +
  • Sword of Selûne (kensai/priest of Selûne)
    • +
  • Templar of Lathander (fighter/priest of Lathander)
    • +
  • Wrathful Spear of Gruumsh (barbarian/priest of Gruumsh; half-orcs only)
    • +
+

On a BG install, Yeslick becomes an Axe of Clangeddin.

+

The Dark Knight of Bane and the Knight of Iyachtu Xvim are mechanically identical. This component requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane and divine spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed) and the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' and 'Add Six New Divine Spells' components of ToF.

+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Fighter/Druids

+

This component introduces two new kits for fighter/druids: the Totemic Shaman (barbarian/totemic druid) and the Raging Shifter (berserker/shapeshifter).

+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Fighter/Mages

+

This component introduces up to 11 new kits for fighter/mages. The component always includes these kits:

+
    +
  • Abjurant Defender (abjurer/dwarven defender; dwarves only)
    • +
  • Barbarian/Transmuter
    • +
  • Berserker/Invoker
    • +
  • Berserker/Wild Mage
    • +
  • Kensai/Enchanter
    • +
  • Kensai/Illusionist
    • +
+

If you have installed the 'New Wizard Specializations: Elemental Specialists' component, the component also includes the Barbarian/Elementalist kits (four versions). If you have installed the 'New Wizard Specialization: Force Mage' component, the component also includes the Kensai/Force Mage kit.

+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Fighter/Thieves

+

This component introduces three new kits for fighter/thieves:

+
    +
  • Fighter/Assassin
    • +
  • Magetracker (Wizard Slayer/Bounty Hunter)
    • +
  • Silent Sword (Kensai/Thief)
    • +
+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Cleric/Mages

+

This component introduces up to 26 new kits for cleric/mages. The component always includes these kits:

+
    +
  • Abjurer of Ilmater
    • +
  • Abjurer of Mystra
    • +
  • Conjurer of Azuth
    • +
  • Conjurer of Bane (IWD only)
    • +
  • Conjurer of Iyachtu Xvim (BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Diviner of Oghma
    • +
  • Diviner of Selûne
    • +
  • Enchanter of Sune
    • +
  • Enchanter of Cyric (BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Illusionist of Azuth
    • +
  • Illusionist of Baervan (elves/half-elves/gnomes only)
    • +
  • Illusionist of Shar
    • +
  • Invoker of Lathander
    • +
  • Invoker of Talos
    • +
  • Necromancer of Velsharoon (BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Necromancer of Talona (BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Transmuter of Mystra
    • +
  • Transmuter of Selûne
    • +
  • Wild Mage of Mystra
    • +
+

If you have installed the 'New Wizard Specializations: Elemental Specialists' component, the following are also available:

+
    +
  • Air Elementalist of Baervan (elves/half-elves/gnomes only)
    • +
  • Air Elementalist of Talos
    • +
  • Earth Elementalist of Moradin (dwarves only)
    • +
  • Fire Elementalist of Kossuth
    • +
  • Fire Elementalist of Sune
    • +
  • Water Elementalist of Auril (BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Water Elementalist of Umberlee (IWD only)
    • +
+

If you have installed the 'New Wizard Specialization: Force Mage' component, the Force Mage of Mystra is also available.

+

The conjurer of Bane and the conjurer of Iyachtu Xvim are game-mechanically identical. Multi-class clerics of Auril and Talona are disabled by default on IWD (as is a hidden 'necromancer of Myrkul'), and multi-class clerics of Umberlee are disabled by default on BG/BG2, because having a cleric of these gods in your party causes problems with the plot. If you want to ignore this and play one anyway, you can reactivate them via the ini.

+

This component requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane and divine spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed) and the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' and 'Add Six New Divine Spells' components of ToF.

+

On BG2 installs, Aerie becomes an air elementalist of Baervan. On BG installs, Quayle becomes an illusionist of Baervan.

+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Cleric/Rangers and Druid/Rangers

+

This component introduces up to six new kits for cleric/rangers:

+
    +
  • Forester of Baervan (Archer/Priest of Baervan; gnomes/elves/half-elves only)
    • +
  • Hunter of Selûne (Ranger/Priest of Selûne)
    • +
  • Nightstalker of Malar (Stalker/Priest of Malar)
    • +
  • Scout of Corellon (Stalker/Priest of Corellon; elves/half-elves only)
    • +
+

If you have installed the 'Druids May Multi-Class as Mages, Rangers, and Thieves' component, this component also adds one new kit for druid/rangers, the Night Wolf (stalker/shapeshifter). Druids and rangers cannot dual-class as druid/rangers and so cannot dual-class into a druid/ranger kit.

+

This component requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane and divine spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed) and the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' and 'Add Six New Divine Spells' components of ToF.

+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Cleric/Thieves and Druid/Thieves

+

This component introduces six new kits for cleric/thieves:

+
    +
  • Assassin of Talona (BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Assassin of Bhaal (IWD only)
    • +
  • Assassin of Cyric (BG/BG2 only)
    • +
  • Bounty Hunter of Malar
    • +
  • Swashbuckler of Sune
    • +
  • Thief of Mask
    • +
  • Thief of Tymora
    • +
+

If you have installed the 'Druids May Multi-Class as Mages, Rangers, and Thieves' component, this component also adds one new kit for druid/thieves, the Silent Avenger (avenger/assassin). Druids and rangers cannot dual-class as druid/rangers and so cannot dual-class into a druid/ranger kit.

+

The assassin of Bhaal is game-mechanically nearly identical to the assassin of Cyric. The assassin of Talona is disabled by default on Icewind Dale installs because having a priest of Talona in your party would break the story. If you want to ignore this and play one anyway, you can re-enable the kit via the ini.

+

On a BG install, Tiax becomes an assassin of Cyric.

+

This component requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane and divine spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed) and the 'Add Nine New Arcane Spells' and 'Add Six New Divine Spells' components of ToF.

+

New Multi-Class/Dual-Class for Mage/Thieves

+

This component introduces three new kits for mage/thieves:

+
    +
  • Enchanter/Swashbuckler
    • +
  • Illusionist/Assassin
    • +
  • Invoker/Assassin
    • +
+

New Multi-Class Kits for Fighter/Mage/Clerics

+

This component introduces three new kits for fighter/mage/clerics:

+
    +
  • Adventurer of Tymora (Fighter/Enchanter/Priest of Tymora)
    • +
  • Guardian of Corellon (Kensai/Mage/Priest of Corellon; elves/half-elves only)
    • +
  • Polymath of Mystra (Fighter/Invoker/Priest of Mystra)
    • +
+

This component requires you to be using the Icewind Dale arcane and divine spells (either because you are playing IWD:EE, or because you have them installed) and the 'add new arcane (wizard) spells' and 'add new divine (priest) spells' components of ToF.

+
+
+

Revised and New High-Level and Lower-Level Abilities

+
+
+
+
+

Characters Choose Minor New Abilities Every Three Levels

+

This component is based on the 'feats' system in Icewind Dale II (and in 3rd edition D&D). At 2nd level, and every three levels thereafter, a character chooses a special ability from a list. For instance: a character might gain a bonus to some saving throws or damage rolls, an extra use of a special ability, the ability to brew potions or scribe scrolls, or a new spell slot. The abilities are intended to be modest rather than dramatic, though I welcome feedback. The full list of special abilities can be seen here.

+

Abilities are selected during the leveling process using a similar interface to the one used for High-Level Abilities in Baldur's Gate II. If you are playing Baldur's Gate II, the ability system merges into the High-Level Ability system when you become eligible for High-Level Abilities; normal abilities remain available as alternatives to High-Level Abilities as you continue to level.

+

Multi-classed and dual-classed characters gain abilities only according to their highest level.

+

Revised High-Level Ability system
+ Only available for BG2EE, EET

+

This component substantially revises and expands the High-Level Abilities (HLAs) granted to characters every level after reaching 3 million XP. The existing set of 46 HLAs is expanded to (depending on how you count them) 187 HLAs, of which:

+
    +
  • 41 are retained from the unmodded game (although several are modified)
    • +
  • 46 are adapted from the classic Refinements mod by T.G.Maestro, Littiz and the bigg, and used under the bigg's generous blanket permission for modders to adapt and use Refinements' contents
    • +
  • 8 are adapted from the classic Rogue Rebalancing mod by aVENGER and used under that mod's Creative Commons 3.0 license
    • +
  • 92 are original to Talents of Faerûn (though in many cases inspired by other sources)
    • +
+ Full documentation for the revised HLA system can be found here. +

Improved NPC Customization and Management
+ Not available for IWDEE

+

This component makes it much easier to customize NPCs and to make sure they keep up with your main character even if you swap them in and out of the group. When it is installed, NPCs (including mod-added NPCs) join your party at level zero. If you want, you can activate a special 'customize' power on their innate abilities to change their class and kit to whatever you like. After that, you can level the character to first level and choose their proficiencies, skills and the like. The character will continue leveling until they reach about the same level as your character. (The 'customize' power is unavailable once you increase above level zero.)

+ If you kick the NPC out of the party and subsequently re-recruit them, they will again start leveling until they reach about your character's level. (To be more precise: they are given that level which they would have if they had as much XP as you do; they get given exactly the right amount of XP to reach that level.) +

(This component is identical to the equivalent component in Sword Coast Stratagems; it is included here because if you are using the Feat system, you may wish to start your characters at first level so that they gain feats properly.)

+

Engine limitations lead to some slight awkwardness with this component. Firstly, mages and bards have their spellbooks selected from a fixed list (you don't get to choose yourself). Secondly, if you have the Party AI disabled, you may occasionally notice minor glitches in the amount of experience your characters receive (this will be most noticeable if you use the customize program to change a character's class). Turning AI back on (even if only briefly) will resolve this (though it is possible to get a slightly-too-high level character if you change from single-class to multi-class and then level without AI on). Thirdly, a few NPCs in the game have illegal statistics (for instance, Coran has three proficiencies in bows); these will be lost if you use this component. Fourthly, wild mages will have to save and reload in order to get their special spells (Chaos Shield and the like.) Finally, it is not possible to let rangers choose their favored enemy.

+

The component should be able to allow for other mods that let humans multi-class, non-humans dual-class, and multi-class characters select kits. However, it is incompatible with any mod (notably the component of Tweaks Anthology) that removes the ability to dual-class from humans—basically because the component doesn't know what to do with the existing dual-classed humans in the game, like Imoen.

+

Some NPCs are only partially affected by this component: notably, Wilson the bear and the joinable vampire in BG2EE cannot be customized; nor can the sorcerer added in Baldur's Gate and the aasimar in Siege of Dragonspear.

+

This component makes very extensive use of features of the Enhanced Edition game engine, and so is not (and never will be) available for original BG/BG2.

+

Important note: Dual-classed NPCs begin at level zero in their original class; you level them until they can't level any more, then dual-class them, then level them again. Do not delay dual-classing them—it is likely to break the game. (If you want to adventure with them in their original class, just respec them to that class.)

+
+
+

Rules Changes

+
+
+
+
+

Revised Ability Scores

+

This component revises the effects of your character's ability scores to make their bonuses a bit more uniform and intelligible, and to make some of them more useful. The modifications are based on 3rd edition D&D; you can choose between a 'custom' version (recommended) and a strict 3rd edition version.

+

The effects of your ability scores are now as follows:

+
    +
  • Strength: Still affects melee and thrown weapon attack and damage rolls, your chance of breaking a door or gate, and your carrying capacity. Exceptional strength is removed.
    • +
  • Dexterity: Now affects saving throws vs. Wands and Breath Weapons. Still affects armor class, attack rolls with thrown and missile weapons, and initiative.
    • +
  • Constitution: Now affects saving throws vs. Poison and Paralysis. Still affects hit points (the variable fighter/non-fighter effect has been removed).
    • +
  • Intelligence: Now affects maximum number of memorizable spells for wizards. Still affects chance of learning arcane spells from scrolls.
    • +
  • Wisdom: Now affects number of spell slots for shamans, and saving throws vs. Spell. Still affects maximum number of memorizable spells for priests.
    • +
  • Charisma: Affects maximum number of memorizable spells for bards and number of spell slots for sorcerers and favored souls, the effective level of a cleric or paladin turning the undead, and (still) also the price you are charged in stores. Paladins receive an additional bonus to their saving throws based on Charisma.
    • +
+

Bonuses and penalties to attack rolls, hit points, armor class, and saving throws now use a common set of modifiers. (The change to a cleric or paladin's level for turning undead is half this modifier.) For ability scores between 1-18, that system is the same in both versions:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Ability score valueBonus/Penalty

6-7-2
8-9-1
10-110
12-13+1
14-15+2
16-17+3
18+4
+

For ability scores of 19+, the two systems diverge: the custom system increases more quickly than the 3rd edition system. (This reflects the fact that ability score bonuses above 18 are harder to come by in AD &D—and in the IE games—than in 3rd edition D&D.)

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

20+6 +5
21+7+5
22+8+6
23+9+6
24+10+7
25+11+7
+

The table for spellcasters' bonus spells also depends on the version of this component you choose, with the custom version scaling more quickly for ability scores of 15+:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Ability score valueBonus spells (custom system)Bonus spells (3e system)

14+1 spell at levels 1-2
15+1 spell at levels 1-3+1 spell at levels 1-2
16+1 spell at levels 1-4+1 spell at levels 1-3
17+2 spells at level 1, +1 spell at levels 2-5+1 spell at levels 1-3
18+2 spells at level 1-2, +1 spell at levels 3-6+1 spell at levels 1-4
19+2 spells at level 1-3, +1 spell at levels 4-7+1 spell at levels 1-4
20+2 spells at level 1-4, +1 spell at levels 5-8+2 spells at level 1, +1 spell at levels 2-5
21++3 spells at level 1, +2 spells at level 2-5, +1 spell at levels 6-9+2 spells at level 1, +1 spell at levels 2-5
+

The component also changes a few other rules, to fit better with this revised system:

+
    +
  • Base saving throws are slightly weakened, to compensate for the bonuses gained by high ability scores.
    • +
  • Gnomes, halflings and dwarves now receive a flat saving throw bonus (+2 in each case) instead of a Constitution-dependent bonus.
    • +
  • If you are using the low-level abilities component, a new ability, Force of Personality, is available; this allows a character to use their Charisma bonus in place of their Wisdom bonus for saves vs. spells.
    • +
+

For technical reasons, wizards and bards will not be able to learn any bonus spells during character creation, and sorcerers, shamans and favored souls will not receive their bonus spells until the first time they rest.

+

Point-Buy System for Choosing Ability Scores

+

This component replaces the default random-roll-based system for choosing ability scores with a point-buy system: you have a fixed number of points (75,80,85,90,or a randomly determined number depending on which version of the component you install) and your ability scores all start with values of 10 (or the minimum allowed, whichever is higher), modified by your class, kit and race choices. (Exception: if you are eligible for exceptional strength, your Strength begins at 18, so you can see immediately what your (randomly rolled) exceptional Strength is.)

+

(Really, the default system is also point-based; it's just that the total number of points is random and you start with your points all randomly allocated. The 'randomly determined number' version of the mod is equivalent to the standard system, just with the convenience of having your ability scores all preset to 10.)

+

3rd-Edition-Style THAC0s (somewhat faster progression for clerics/thieves/mages)

+

This component, inspired by D&D 3rd edition, changes the formula for THAC0 to something a bit more generous, especially for non-fighters.

+

Old formula:

+
    +
  • Warriors: THAC0 = 20 - (level - 1); minimum 0
    • +
  • Priests: THAC0 starts at 20 and decreases by 2 every 3 levels thereafter - so roughly, THAC0 = 20 - (level - 1) x2/3; minimum 6
    • +
  • Rogues: THAC0 = 20 - (level - 1)/2; minimum 10
    • +
  • Mages: THAC0 = 20 - (level - 1)/3; minimum 13
    • +
+

New formula:

+
    +
  • Warriors: THAC0 = 20 - level; minimum 0
    • +
  • Priests/Rogues: THAC0 = 20 - level x 3/4; minimum 2
    • +
  • Mages: THAC0 = 20 - level/2; minimum 5
    • +
+ +

Remove Intelligence-Based Restrictions on Number and Level of Learnable Spells

+

This component removes restrictions on the maximum level of spells a mage (or bard) character can learn, and the maximum number of spells they can learn at each level. The UI is edited to remove any reference to these restrictions.

+

In addition, the 'erase' button is removed from the spellbook, since the intended reason to erase spells is to make room for new ones and there is no longer a capacity limit.

+

Cleric/Rangers can Become Proficient with Bows

+

This component grants Cleric/Rangers the ability to put up to two points into proficiency in shortbows and longbows. (It is obsolete if you install the 'Revised Weapon Proficiency System'.)

+

Wider Access to Grand Mastery

+

This component permits warriors other than single-class fighters to achieve Grand Mastery (five slots) in their usable weapons. There are three versions: allow multi-classed fighters to achieve grand mastery; allow paladins and single-classed rangers to achieve grand mastery; allow all warriors, single and multi-classed, to achieve grand mastery.

+

Dual-Class Kitted Characters Must Obey the Weapon-Proficiency Restrictions of Their Kit

+

In the unmodded game, characters with a kit who dual-class are no longer bound by any restrictions their kit places on their weapon proficiencies (though they are bound by any item-usability requirements). This component enforces kit-based proficiency restrictions even on dual-classed characters.

+

Dual-Class Characters Gain Weapon Proficiencies as for Their Current Class

+

In the unmodded game, a character who dual-classes and then regains their original class can add weapon proficiencies according to the rules for their old class (so that a fighter who dual-classes as a mage can continue to improve their training with the sword). This component prohibits this: proficiencies continue to obey the rules of your current class.

+

Revised Weapon Proficiency System

+

This component significantly revises the system for weapon proficiency and weapon use (somewhat inspired by 3rd edition D&D). The core changes are:

+
    +
  • All weapons are usable by all characters. (Exception: monks can't use two-handed weapons, unless you installed the component that permits them to.)
    • +
  • Characters begin with a number of weapon proficiencies: roughly, they begin proficient in any weapon that they could use previously. So fighters begin proficient in all weapons; clerics begin proficient in blunt weapons, and so forth. (Fighter multi-classes are somewhat restricted compared to single-class fighters.) In addition, most classes can use crossbows and daggers.
    • +
  • Dwarves and elves also gain proficiency with certain weapons: axes and hammers for dwarves; bows and longswords for elves.
    • +
  • If you are using the cleric kits introduced by Talents of Faerûn, clerics receive a bonus weapon proficiency point in the favored weapon of their deity.
    • +
  • All characters can at least become Specialized (two slots) with all weapons, and can specialize in any fighting style (other than weapon/shield, for characters who can't use shields). Characters who could already become Specialized improve their maximum achievable level by one slot.
    • +
  • Characters receive fewer proficiency points at first level: single-classed fighters receive two, multi-classed fighters, rangers, and paladins receive one, and all other classes receive none.
    • +
  • A few other kits are modified to allow for these changes: for instance, blades and swashbucklers receive proficiency in two-weapon fighting style for free at first level, and swashbucklers receive a bonus proficiency slot.
    • +
+

The various changes are fairly thoroughly documented in-game.

+
+
+

User Interface Tweaks

+
+
+
+
+

Tidy Up Class-Selection Menu

+

This component makes a number of (cosmetic) tweaks to the class-selection menu in character generation:

+
    +
  • Classes are presented in alphabetical order (as defined by the language in which you are playing the game).
    • +
  • Blackguard is now presented as a class in its own right, not as a paladin kit.
    • +
  • Multi-class choices, and choice of mage specialization, are presented as submenus rather than mixed into the main class/kit lists.
    • +
+

These changes are largely intended to make the class-selection screen less messy when a larger number of classes or kits are available. Many other components install this component automatically; you will only be offered it as an install choice if you have not already installed its contents via another component.

+

Thieves Assign Skill Points in Multiples of Five

+

This component edits the user interface so that thief skill points are spent in multiples of five. This is purely a convenience tweak: there is no real reason to spend skill points in smaller increments and it can be tedious to have to do so.

+
+
+

Customization Options

+
+
+
+
+

The file "dw_talents.ini", found in the dw_talents directory, allows fine-tuning of install options not available via the main installer. To do this, just edit the file in Notepad or another text editor. Each line consists of a configuration option, then '=', then a number (or in one case a string). The only thing you should edit is the number (or string). These changes need to be made before you install the mod. None of these changes are officially supported and they may have unintended consequences. Hopefully the names make most self-explanatory.

Speciality Priests

+
+
+
+ +
+ +

This documents the (IWD versions of) the 23 new priest kits introduced into the game by Talents of Faerun, along with the 5 existing kits in their ToF forms.

+

+ +

+
+ + + +

Auril (Icepriest)

+
+

Auril (pronounced: AWE-ril), also known as The Cold Goddess, The Frostmaiden, and the Goddess of Winter, is a fickle, vain, and evil deity. She is feared and worshipped in order to hold off the depradations of the harsh winters with which she threatens Faerûn. Trappers, miners, and settlers in the North, some barbarians and inhabitants of the Great Glacier, and residents of the lands crouching at any glacier's edge revere her and honor her in attempts to placate her cold fury come winter time.

+ +

Clergy of Auril seek to make all folk fear their goddess and her priests through the fury of the winter weather. They also try to make themselves personally wealthy and influential by carrying out tasks that others cannot in the worst winter weather and by magically protecting those who pay or obey from the worst winter conditions.

+ +

Advantages

+
    +
  • May learn priest spells from these spheres: Air, All, Divination, Divine, Earth, Evil, Healing, Necromantic, Protection, Summoning, Wards, Water. +
    • +
  • May learn the following spells as priest spells: Ice Knife (1st level), Icelance (3rd level). +
    • +
  • 50% resistance to cold damage. This rises to 75% at 4th level and 100% at 8th level. +
    • +
  • 5th level: May cast Ice Storm once per day, as the 4th level mage spell. An additional use is gained at level 11 and every 6 levels thereafter. +
    • +
  • 7th level: May cast Cone of Cold once per day, as the 5th level mage spell. An additional use is gained at level 13 and every 6 levels thereafter. +
    • +
  • 9th level: May cast Conjure Ice Paraelemental once per day. + +
    CONJURE ICE PARAELEMENTAL: The caster opens a special gate to the Paraelemental Plane of Ice and calls forth a powerful ice paraelemental bound to the service of Auril. The strength of the paraelemental depends on the power of the caster: initially, an 8-HD paraelemental is summoned, but this increases to 12HD at 13th level, to 16HD at 17th level, and to a maximum of 24HD at 21st level. The paraelemental will obey the commands of the priest, but the priest does not have to concentrate on it to control it, leaving him/her free to perform other actions while the ice paraelemental turns its enemies to frozen shards. The paraelemental will last until the spell duration expires or the paraelemental is slain. + +
    +
    • + +
+

+

Disadvantages

+
    +
  • Alignment must be Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil.
    • + +
+

+ +
+

Azuth (Magistrate)

+
+

Azuth (pronounced: Ah-ZOOTH) is the god of wizards and mages and to a much lesser degree, all spellcasters, as opposed to Mystra, who is the goddess of all magic. Azuth is Mystra's servant, friend, and advisor.

+ +

Followers of Azuth feel that reason is the best way to approach magic, and that it may be examined and reduced to its component parts through study and meditation. Calm and caution are the watchwords of Azuthan clergy members as they strive to avoid mistakes that even magic cannot undo. They are taught to use Art (magic) wisely and to be always mindful of when it is best not to use magic.

+ +

+ +
+

Baervan (Fastpaw)

+
+

Baervan (pronounced: BAY-ur-van) Wildwanderer, also known as The Forest Gnome, is a deity of outdoors, of forest-dwelling gnomes and their communities, and also of thievery. He is a good-natured god of mischief, and a friend of several sylvan deities and races.

+ +

Baervan's priests are concerned with the protection of nature, and the driving off of evil creatures. They are most commonly found in outdoors gnomish communities.

Bane (Dreadmaster)

+
+

The most feared and reviled deity in the Forgotten Realms, Bane is the lord of strife, hatred, and tyranny. His followers fight each other almost as much as enemy faiths, which is one of the prime reasons their devious priesthood has not dominated the Realms.

Clangeddin (Valiant One)

+
+

Clangeddin (pronounced: KLAN-gehd-din) Silverbeard is the dwarven deity of battle and honour in warfare. He is known as the Father of Battle and the Lord of the Twin Axes. He delights in battle, although he does not tolerate treachery or deceit, and he expects his followers to do the same.

+ +

Priests of Clangeddin are known as 'Alaghor', which roughly translates as 'valiant ones' or 'those who display valor in battle'.

Corellon (Feywarden)

+
+

The leader of the elven pantheon, Corellon Larethian (pronounced: CORE-ehlon Lah-RETH-ee-yen) is said to have given birth to the entire elven race, although sometimes Sehanine or Angharradh are given credit as well. Elven lore states that the Fair Folk sprang from drops of blood Corellon shed in epic battles with Gruumsh mingled with Sehanine's (or Angharradh's) tears. The Creator of the Elves embodies the highest ideals of elvenkind, and he is the patron of most aesthetic endeavors, including art, magic, music, poetry, and warfare. He is venerated by all the Fair Folk, except the drow and those who have turned to Lolth, Ghaunadaur, Vhaeraun, and other dark powers. Corellon is especially popular with elf and half-elf mages, musicians, and poets.

+ +

Ceremonial vestments for priests of Corellon consist of azure robes made of gossamer and embroidered with silver quarter moons. Silver circlets engraved with the Protector's symbol are worn on the brow. The holy symbol of the faith is a silver or mithral lunate pendant worn on a slender chain hung from the neck. When adventuring, Corellon's priests generally favor traditionally elven equipment in conscious imitation of their divine patron.

+ +

    • + +
+

+ +
+

Gruumsh (Bloodspear)

+
+

Gruumsh (pronounced: GROOMSH) is the undisputed head of the pantheon of the orcs. He is a fearsome, brutal god who revels in warface, and ever seeks new territory for his race. Gruumsh has an abiding hatred for the elves after the elvish deity Corellon Larethian defeated him in battle, and seeks to have his people raze and destroy elvish homelands wherever possible.

+ +

Priests of Gruumsh spread his worship through inspiration, fear, and iron rule.

+ +

Ilmater (Painbearer)

+
+

Ilmater (pronounced: Ihl-MAY-ter) is the Crying God, the god of endurance, suffering, martyrdom, and perseverance. It is he who offers succor and calming words to those who are in pain, oppressed, or in great need. He is the willing sufferer, the one who takes the place of another to heft the other's burden, to take the other's pain. He is the god of the oppressed and unjustly treated.

+ +

The followers of Ilmater are often perceived as being intentional sufferers, but in reality they offer a great deal along the "pure clerical" nature of healing and recovery to those who have been hurt. They put others ahead of themselves, are sharing, and emphasize the spiritual nature of life over the gross material body. Ilmater's priests are found where they are needed, which is usually in the worst possible conditions, ministering to the needs of the oppressed, and the poor. They dress simply in gray, with gray skullcaps (blood red for the higher ranks).

Kossuth (Firewalker)

+
+

Kossuth (pronounced: Koh-SOOTH), Firelord, the Tyrant among Fire, is an Elemental Lord from the Elemental Plane of Fire. He is generally uncaring to his faithful, but continues to grant his priests their powers since their worship increases his power on his home plane. To maintain continued worship he does take a limited interest in his followers' mortal problems, and occasionally makes his presence known with a manifestation, but never an avatar.

+ +

Kossuth's church is varied and chaotic since he takes no interest in its structure. As a result it is a collection of cults with each faction coming up with its own ethics, codes, morals, and teachings. Kossuth's symbol varies greatly from faction to faction, but is generally a depiction of fire. It is believed that if Kossuth's following were to somehow become unified he would become a very powerful force in the Realms, something the other gods don't really wish to see happen. Of the four Elemental Lords, the best known and most feared are the cults of Kossuth, who are very powerful in Thay and the lands of the East.

+ +

Firewalkers of Kossuth can be of any alignment, but most are evil, reveling in the destructive power of fire. They can be members of any race. They dress in whatever their faction deems appropriate for the representation of their god. This is usually robes and long capes in reds, yellows, and oranges.

Malar (Talon)

+
+

Malar(pronounced: MAH-larr) the Beastlord is the god of the savage wild. He is worshipped by hunters who revel in the kill or who hunt for sport or to excess, evil rangers, sentient carnivores, and lycanthropes. Those who suffer the depradations of wild beasts attempt to placate the Beastlord with offerings of freshly killed and bloody meat, but Malar rarely recognizes their entreaties. In his more favorable aspects he is revered by beings who identify with the untamed nature, grace, and amorality of predators.

+ +

Worship of Malar centers around the hunt and tends to consist of personal prayers to the Beastlord offered before the chase, during pursuit, and while drinking a toast over the slain quarry.

+
+

Mask, the god of thieves, is a self-possessed and confident deity fond of complex plans and intricate plots. He is wary, but cool, never losing his temper, and he always seems to be holding back a mocking comment.

+ +

Mask’s church is essentially similar to a network of thieves’ guilds. In large cities with several guilds, his temple is often connected to each thieves’ guild by secret tunnels and is considered neutral ground for meetings by all. A wealthy religion, the church of Mask uses its resources to pay agents, sway agreements, and manipulate people. Its members spend their time nurturing plots and supporting thieves’ guilds and individual thieves.

Myrkul (Gray One)

+
+

Myrkul (pronounced: MER-kul) is the god of the dead. He has a cold, malignant intelligence, and is never known to be other than coldly amused when a mortal succeeds in avoiding his chosen fates. Mykul takes care that all mortals think of him often - he is even known to materialize beside open graves, scythe in hand, just to gaze around at gathering mourners for a few seconds before fading away, to remind everyone that he is waiting for them all.

The faith of Myrkul is not popular, nor is its priests numerous. Myrkulite priests tend to be morbid loners.

Mystra (Dweomerkeeper)

+
+

Mystra (pronounced: MISS-trah) is the goddess of magic and with that the goddess of possibilities, which makes her arguably the most powerful deity in Faerûn. She is said to have taught the first spellcaster of the Realms, and to have enabled many of the races to use magic. She supposedly weighs and judges each new spell or magical item to determine whether it should be permitted into the Realms. She is most venerated by wizards and those who use magic or magical items in their daily use. She differs from Azuth in that Azuth is the god of wizards (as to a much lesser degree, all spellcasters), while Mystra is the goddess of the essential force that makes all spellcasting possible. She provides and tends the Weave, the conduit to enable mortal spellcasters and magical crafters to safely access the raw force that is magic.

+ +

Mystra's priests work hard to preserve all magical lore in secret libraries, private safeholds, well-guarded research laboratories, and small, hidden stashes so that magic flourishes in the future regardless of what befalls the thinking races of Faerûn or the powers of the planes. Mystrans also search out beings skilled in spell use, seeking to keep watch on the identities, powers, and behavior of individuals likely to become magic wielders of importance.

Oghma (Lorekeeper)

+
+

Oghma (pronounced: OGG-mah) is the god of knowledge and invention, the Binder of What is Known, and the Patron of Bards. He is the most powerful god of knowledge in the Realms (second if you consider magical ability as knowledge, with Mystra at its head). Deneir and Milil both act as intercessors for Oghma, carrying new information both to him and to those whom Oghma favors.

+ +

Oghma's followers believe that knowledge is supreme, particularly in its raw form, the idea. An idea has no weight but can move mountains. It has no height but it can dominate a nation. It has no mass but it can push aside empires. Knowledge is the greatest tool of humankind, outweighing anything made by mortal hands. Before anything can exist, the idea must exist.

Selûne (Silverstar)

+
+

Selûne (pronounced: seh-LOON-ay), Our Lady of Silver, is the goddess of the moon, the stars, and those who use them to navigate. Her eternal foe is the evil Shar, goddess of darkness, night, loss, and forgetfulness. Selûne is often called the Moonmaiden for her connection to the silver moon that orbits Faerûn.

+ +

Non-evil lycanthropes honor Selûne as the master of their fate as do astrologers and fortune tellers. Selûne is also growing popular among alewives, laundresses, seamstresses and servants with the message of female empowerment. She is also worshiped by female spellcasters, navigators and sailors.

+ +

Selûne's clerics, called Silverstars of Selûne, are dedicated advocates of freedom and tolerance, wanderers on the path of truth and absolute foes of Shar. They seek to build harmony among lycanthropes and non-shapechangers, and they protect the weak and the oppressed everywhere. They cannot abide slavery, and they hate most undead. They rarely settle in one place for long, instead moving along when seized by wanderlust or enticed by a new cause or mission. They deal with lunar energies and phenomena and are, to a limited degree, able to wield the power of the moon, bringing its fierce, pure white light to Toril to advance the goddess's wishes.

Shar (Nightcloak)

+
+

Shar is the goddess of darkness, night, loss, and forgetfulness. Her main aspect is worshipped by those who deal in the night (such as thieves), who hate the light (such as goblin races and their allies), and who feel bitterness and loss. Her symbol is a black disk with a border of deep purple.

+ +

Shar's mortal enemy is the goddess Selûne and the two fight on a number of levels throughout their immortal lives. There is a continual war between the two faiths and jihads against Selûne and her followers are common where Shar is strong.

+ +

Shar has no main temple, but instead has a scattering of cells and secretive places throughout the Realms. The Nightcloaks of Shar serve as contacts, messengers, and enforcers of the Dark Lady's will.

+
+

Sune (pronounced: SUE-nee) Firehair is said to be the fairest of all the powers. When she is represented, she is shown as the most beautiful woman in the Realms, with sweeping, radiant, red hair and incredible charms. The Sunite faith is a popular one in large metropolitan areas and among the nobility. Those of a literary or artistic bent, as well as people falling in love or looking for lifemates, often venerate the Lady Firehair.

+ +

Sune's speciality priests, known as Heartwarders of Sune, are aesthetes and hedonists who actively seek out pleasure and beauty in all things, and who nurture the creation of beautiful objects. They are typically found in large cities in the company of the cultural elite. Most are active patrons of the arts, and all play the role of matchmaker for persons in all levels of society. Many are employed as artists, crafters, performers, or instructors, though a few travel the world to promote beauty and love.

Umberlee (Waveservant)

+
+

Umberlee the Bitch Queen (pronounced: Um-ber-LEE) rules from her watery lair in a flooded level of the Abyss. She is worshiped by most out of fear as opposed to adoration. Ship crews toss her gems over the sides of their vessels to calm storm-tossed waters. She has a large number of shrines in coastal cities, and sailors often leave flowers, candles, small candies, or coins on her altars in hopes that Umberlee will spare them on the next voyage. Others who pay tribute to her include merchants sending goods by sea, port cities, and island nations and settlements who would be devastated by her wrath and have not a powerful patron deity to counter her menacing demands.

    Abilities

    +
    +
    +
    + +
    + +

    These are the abilities (sometimes called 'feats') available to characters (at level 2 and every three levels thereafter), along with any prerequisites and restrictions.

    +

    + +

    +
    + + + +
    +

    Abyssal Pact

    The blackguard has come to an arrangement with a mighty demon lord; in exchange for present and future favors too hideous to contemplate, the blackguard may use the demon lord's patronage to command the service of a marilith, glabrezu, nabassu or other demon once per day. Demons are capricious and it can never be guaranteed which demons will respect the pact, but in general only Balors and demon lords will dare to refuse the blackguard's command, though the demon will remain at the blackguard's side for only a single turn before departing.
    +
    +The blackguard takes a terrible risk in making the pact. Each time he/she uses this ability, he/she has a 10% chance of forfeiting his/her soul to his/her patron. If this happens, the blackguard will not be able to be resurrected after his/her death: he/she will be forever lost.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Blood War Secrets; may not be Lawful.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Acrobatics

The target's Magic Damage Resistance is also set to 25%. In addition, the adamantite body can only be harmed by +3 weapons or better. While the new form doesn't allow the use of
    +weapons, the hands will be more than capable for battle - they both act as +4 weapons, deal 4d6 points of damage and are used with grandmaster level of proficiency. However, the target's casting time is increased by 4 as long as the spell lasts.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Abjuration, or Abjurer, or Sorcerer (Celestial Bloodline).

It increases Slashing, Piercing, Crushing and Missile resistances to 75%, and increases Fire, Cold, and Lightning resistances by 25%.

    +Duration: Permanent
    +Casting Time: 8
    +Area of Effect: 1 Creature
    +Saving Throw: Neg.
    +
    +By casting this terrible spell, the caster attempts to magically destroy the target creature's body and turn it into a Flesh Golem, controlled by the caster. The target must make a save vs. polymorph to avoid instant death and transformation, but even if the save is successful, it will suffer 3d6 +3 points of damage because of the physical shock. Creatures of 12th level or below receive no saving throw. The newly created Flesh Golem will obey every command of the Transmuter.
    +
    +Normally golems are created in a long and arduous process. The magical bonds in their bodies require tremendous amounts of time and enchantments to be made permanent. The hastened method of this spell's transformation has its drawbacks naturally: any Flesh Golems created by this spell will decay into nothing after 1 hour.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Alteration, or Transmuter, or Sorcerer (Deepearth Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

At high levels (25+) the caster is able to create an Apocalyptic Boneguard, a very fearsome ally.

Creatures with 60 or fewer hit points die instantly if they fail the saving throw; other creatures who fail their saving throw take 1 hit point of damage per second for 24 seconds.
    +
    +No creature can be affected by the poison more often than once per round.
    +
    +Characters with this ability can opt to use this poison when they activate their Poison Weapon ability.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Demon Binding

    Through perusal of forbidden texts and conversations of a questionable nature, the character has learned some of the secrets of the fiends of the lower planes, and - through dark pacts, fragments of true names, and raw power - can exercise a modicum of control over some of them. When using the mage spells Summon Fiend and Cacofiend to bring forth a fiend, the character will bind the fiend called forth to obey his/her will, instead of simply leaving it to rampage at random.
    +
    +Most wizards avoid demon binding for good reason: he/she who trafficks with fiends puts his/her immortal soul at risk. Each time the character summons and binds a fiend, there is a 10% chance that his/her alignment will shift one step towards evil. If he/she is already evil, there is instead a 10% chance that his/her soul will be forfeit to the denizens of the lower planes. A character whose soul is lost in this way cannot be resurrected from the dead - once slain, he/she is forever lost.
    +
    +This ability may be taken twice. When taken a second time, the character gains the ability to bind even the mighty fiends called forth by the Gate spell. When doing so, the risk of the character sliding towards evil, or of forfeiting his/her soul, increases to 25%.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Conjuration, or Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Fiendish Bloodline), or Sorcerer (Efreeti Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

    Diamond Soul

    The monk is able to tune his/her body with skill and quasi-magical abilities to the point that he/she becomes a magical creature. When he/she achieves a state of unshakeable stability in body and soul,
    +he/she is no longer affected by spells and other abilities that would endanger this unity or attempt to manipulate his/her physical form.
    +
    +Diamond Soul renders the monk immune to effects like Petrification, Disintegration or Polymorph.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Displacement

    After becoming a partially ethereal creature, the monk can develop the ability to use this power instinctively in dangerous situations. When seriously injured he/she connects with the ethereal world, slipping his/her body out of phase with reality. When his/her hit points fall below 20% of their maximum the monk partially fades out, which grants him/her +2 AC and immunity to weapons with less than +3 enchantment level for 5 rounds. While in this state, the monk can still be seen by those around him/her and can be targeted by spells and magical effects. The effect can trigger only once in an 8-hour period.

    Harm (Necromancy)

    Sphere: Necromantic
    +Range: Touch
    +Duration: Permanent
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell is the reverse of Heal. Instead of healing the creature touched, it causes damage. On a successful touch from the priest, the spell reduces the target to 1 Hit Point. The next attack that the priest makes will inflict this effect; however, he/she only has 2 rounds to make the attack before the spell fizzles. If the priest misses the target creature, the spell is wasted. There is no Saving Throw.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +Duration: 2 turns
    +Casting Time: 3
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +A brilliant, divine radiance surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells, and blinding evil creatures when they strike the subjects. This abjuration has four effects:

    +First, the warded creatures gain a +2 bonus to AC and a +2 bonus to all saves.
    +Second, the warded creatures gains 25% magic resistance, unless their magic resistance is already higher.
    +Third, the abjuration protects the creatures against charm and domination spells.
    +Fourth, any creature of evil alignment who strikes those protected by the Holy Aura must make a Save vs. Spells or be blinded for 1 round.
    +

    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +This spell creates a rift in the earth beneath the target which implodes and closes in upon itself, crushing and burning the target and holding it for 1 round. The spell does 10d10 fire damage and 10d10 blunt damage. The victim can save vs. Spell for half.
    +

    +

    Improved Alacrity (Any School)

    Range: 0
    +Duration: 2 rounds
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: The caster
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +Improved Alacrity essentially erases the pause between casting spells. When cast, the wizard can begin casting a new spell the instant he/she is finished casting his/her current spell. The effect lasts for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Alteration, or Transmuter, or Sorcerer (Deepearth Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Abjurer, Militant Abjurer, Militant Conjurer, or Militant Necromancer.

    +

    Improved Defensive Stance

    The most experienced Dwarven Defenders have learned to channel and magnify their natural dwarven resistances whilst using Defensive Stance.
    +
    +This passive ability may be taken up to four times. Each time, the character's Defensive Stance ability gains additional powers, as follows:
    +
    +1st time: +40% to poison resistance
    +2nd time: +20% to elemental (fire, cold, acid, lightning) resistance; poison resistance increases to 75%
    +3rd time: +20% to magic resistance; elemental resistance increases to 40%

    Improved Seeking Sword

    As one of the foremost servants of Helm, the priest is able to use the Seeking Sword ability more effectively than other priests. In this character's hands, the Seeking Sword has a +5 bonus to hit, inflicts 2d4+5 damage and an additional 1d6 fire damage, and does not prevent spellcasting.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Favored Soul of Helm or high level Watcher of Helm.

    +

    Infernal Contract

    The blackguard has signed a contract with a high-ranking power in the Nine Hells - perhaps one of the Dark Eight, the pit fiends who oversee the Blood War; perhaps a being darker still. The long-term consequences for the blackguard's soul are dire, but in the short term, he/she is able, once per day, to demand the allegiance of a cornugon, abishai or other baatezu devil. The contracts of the Hells are so byzantine that it can never be guaranteed which baatezu will be bound by the contract, but in general only the mighty Pit Fiends - and baatezu of similar power - are unconstrained by it; other baatezu must obey without question, though the length of their service is only one turn and they will depart immediately afterwards.
    +
    +Each time the blackguard uses this ability, he/she has a 10% chance of forfeiting his/her soul to his/her patron. If this happens, the blackguard will not be able to be resurrected after his/her death: he/she will be forever lost.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Blood War Secrets; may not be Chaotic.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Inner Time

    is the pinnacle of the monk's mental and physical abilities. Having achieved perfect focus in body and soul, the most experienced monks are able to slow their inner time to a point where they sense every second as if it were five. This state allows them to judge combat situations more wisely and react to the surrounding world much more quickly and effectively.
    +
    +Inner Time not simply hastens the mind; the body becomes faster too. A spectator would find the monk's movement and actions incredibly fast. his/her fists become more dangerous than any other weapon: he/she gets 8 attacks/round, his/her damage, THAC0 and AC get a 4 points bonus, attack and casting speeds are also reduced by 2. he/she can catch missiles and throw them back to the attacker with the same move, and is protected from backstabs.
    +
    +The ability expires after 3 rounds, whereupon the monk will become winded and will be unable to use any special attacks or abilities for the following 2 rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Faster Than the Eye.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Insightful Strike

    An experienced Swashbuckler can use the knowledge of his/her opponent's weak spots to gain an advantage in combat. During the round when this ability is activated, the Swashbuckler receives a +5 bonus to his/her critical hit rolls and deals maximum damage with each attack.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Swashbuckler.

    +

    Lingering Breath Weapon

    The energies of the Dragon Disciple's breath weapon cling to its victims. Those affected by the breath weapon who fail a save vs. breath at a -4 penalty take an additional 6d8 damage one round later.

    +Prerequisite: Empowered Breath Weapon.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Dragon Disciple.

    +

    Lingering Song

    The bard's music stays with the listeners long after the last note has died away. When the bard stops playing, the effect of the song lasts an additional 2 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected twice. Its effects are cumulative.

    +

    Maestro of Enchantment

    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Malavon's Fury (Invocation)

    Range: Self
    +Duration: Special
    +Casting Time: 1
    +Area of Effect: 30' radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +This devastating spell was created by a powerful drow wizard named Malavon, somewhere deep within The Spine of the World. This is the improved version of his spell Malavon's Rage. The caster causes dozens of magical acid darts to strike anyone within a 30' radius. Every creature caught in the area of effect suffers 15D8 points of acid damage (save vs. breath for half). Those who were struck by the spell will suffer additional 1D8 points of damage/round for 3 rounds.
    +
    +Malavon's Fury does not affect the caster.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Invocation, or Invoker, or Sorcerer (Stormborn Bloodline), or Sorcerer (Rimefrost Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

    Mass Charm

    Range: Visual range of the caster
    +Duration: 5 rounds
    +Casting Time: 6
    +Area of Effect: 30-feet radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +An experienced Bard eventually learns to influence the actions of his/her opponents. By focusing his/her willpower a Bard can suggest a course of activity which opponents feel strongly compelled to follow. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable. Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out and break the enchantment. If a common language is shared, the Bard can generally force the subjects to perform as he/she desires, within the limits of their abilities. If no common language is shared, the character can communicate only by using basic commands, such as "Come here," "Go there," "Fight," "Stand still" etc. Opponents can attempt a saving throw vs. spells in order to avoid being controlled, but even if they succeed, there is still a 25% chance that they will suffer a mental breakdown from the amount of stress that their minds have suffered. This will effectively cause them to enter a Berserk state (no save) and attack the nearest creature for one round.
    +
    +This ability completely ignores any magic resistance of the targets. However, it has no effect on undead, or on mindless creatures such as constructs and slimes. The racial charm resistance of Elves and Half-Elves also applies.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Mass Domination (Enchantment/Charm)

    Range: Visual range of caster
    +Duration: 8 rounds
    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 20-ft radius
    +Saving Throw: Negates (-2 penalty)
    +
    +The Mass Domination spell enables the caster to control the actions of multiple creatures while the spell is in effect. This control is maintained through a telepathic link between the caster and the victims. Targets are allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty to negate the effect.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Enchantment, or Enchanter, or Sorcerer (Fey Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Bloodrager, Invoker, Militant Invoker, Militant Necromancer, or Sorcerer (Gravetouched Bloodline).

    +Duration: Permanent
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +The Mass Heal spell enables the priest to wipe away disease and injury in all friendly creatures within a 30-ft. radius. It completely cures all disease and blindness in the recipients and heals all points of damage suffered due to wounds or injury. It also dispels a Feeblemind spell and cures those mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain. Naturally, the effects can be negated by later wounds, injuries, and diseases.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Healing sphere.

    +

    Mass Raise Dead (Necromancy)

    Sphere: Healing

    +Duration: Permanent
    +Casting Time: 2
    +Area of Effect: Up to 5 party members
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +A more powerful version of Raise Dead, this spell brings up to 5 party members back to life and heals 3d10+1 Hit Points per level of the caster. They can regain the rest of their Hit Points by natural healing or curative magic. This spell restores life to dwarves, gnomes, half-elves, halflings, elves, half-orcs, and humans.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Healing sphere.

    +

    Mirrored Clones (Illusion/Phantasm)

    Range: 0
    +Duration: 1 turn
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +Mirrored Clones creates two copies of the caster, perfect duplicates except for the fact that they have just 60% of the levels and hit points of the original individual. These duplicates are able to cast spells and attack under the control of the caster, who is also placed under a mislead-like effect for the entire duration of the spell. The clones are quasi-real phantasms and as such are not vulnerable to effects like Truesight and Detect Illusions.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Illusion, or Illusionist, or Sorcerer (Shadowed Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

    +Duration: 1 Turn
    +Casting Time: 7
    +Area of Effect: 40' radius
    +Saving Throw: Neg.
    +
    +When invoked, this spell enrages the land, so it will attempt to destroy all living and non-living creatures in its area of effect. Every creature takes 1d10 points of Poison and 1d10 points of Acid damage each round it is exposed to the deadly vapors. If someone fails a saving throw vs. poison at -2, they become poisoned. Another failed save vs. poison results in disease, and the victim will lose one point of Constitution for 5 rounds. This spell banishes and destroys all summoned creatures. Besides its destructive powers, Nature's Wrath has a more vicious characteristic: it attempts to stop creatures from escaping its area or at least slow them. Any target must save vs. spells at -4, or becomes entangled for a short time. Entangled creatures can still attack.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Plant sphere.

    +

    Nemesis

    The character gains an additional +4 to damage, and +2 to armor class and saving throws, against one of his/her favored enemy types.
    +

    +Prerequisite: Favored Enemy (this creature type)
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected multiple times, adding a new nemesis each time.

    +

    Nerve Venom

    This compound partially paralyses its victim, reducing their attack rolls, damage and AC by 4 and giving them a 25% spell failure chance. The effects of the poison last for five rounds, and there is no saving throw against the effect. The poison does not otherwise damage the victim.
    +
    +No creature can be affected by the poison more often than once per round.
    +

    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Pierce the Veil

    The character's mastery of divination magic is complete, and none may hide from his/her sight.
    +
    +A character with this ability can automatically see through the protection of an Improved Invisibility spell, and may cast Detect Invisibility at will.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Divination, or Diviner.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Bloodrager, Conjurer, Militant Abjurer, Militant Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Shadowed Bloodline).

    Poison Aptitude

    The assassin has learned the skill of brewing exceptionally potent poisons. Saving throws against his/her Poison Weapon ability now suffer an additional -2 penalty.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Poison Expertise

    The assassin's understanding of poison brewing deepens. The -2 saving throw penalty imposed by the Poison Aptitude ability now increases to -4.

    +Prerequisite: Poison Aptitude.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Power Attack

    A Power Attack allows the warrior to strike blows so forceful that they stun an opponent for 2 rounds if the opponent fails a Save vs. Death at a -4 penalty. The ability lasts for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Skald.

    +

    Precision

    With proper concentration a skilled archer can render his/her attacks more deadly and precise. By activating this ability the archer gains +6 to his/her attack rolls with missile weapons, +10 bonus to damage for 3 rounds and a 20% chance/hit to strike a lethal hit (the target creature is allowed a save vs. death to avoid instant death).
    +
    +Precision has some drawbacks: it requires intense concentration, making defense difficult, and leaves time for just half of the normally available attacks. The archer's movement rate will be significantly decreased and his/her AC will suffer a 5 point penalty until the ability expires.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Archer.

    +

    Profane Fire

    Channeling blasphemous power from the Lower Planes, the blackguard calls forth a pillar of hellfire that consumes mortal foes. The victim suffers 20d6 points of damage (save vs. spells for half), of which half is fire and half is magic damage. Profane fire has no effect on undead or lower-planar creatures.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Recurrent Breath Weapon

    As the Dragon Disciple's draconic heritage shows through more strongly, he/she can use their breath weapon repeatedly, just as a true dragon.
    +
    +The character may use his/her breath weapon once every four rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Empowered Breath Weapon.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Dragon Disciple.

    +

    Regeneration

    Experienced monks can focus ki-energies in their bodies to regenerate themselves. The monk's regeneration rate will be increased by 2 hit points per round. This ability can be selected up to five times and its bonuses are cumulative with every other regeneration effect on the character.

    +Prerequisite: Diamond Soul.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected up to 5 times. Its effects are cumulative.

    +

    Resist Magic

    This ability allows the warrior to temporarily tap a great inner strength and fight off the effects of malevolent magic. For 4 rounds, the warrior's Magic Resistance is set to 50%. This is not cumulative with other forms of Magic Resistance, so if the warrior already has 50% Magic Resistance or greater, the ability is useless.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Resonating Weapon

    Bards eventually achieve a high degree of control over sound which enables them to imbue any weapon with concentrated sound energy for a short while. A weapon imbued in this fashion resonates with a sharp tone and deals an extra 2d4 points of sonic damage to its target on each hit. Furthermore, anyone struck by the resonating weapon must save vs. breath or become temporarily deafened. After 4 rounds have passed, the weapon ceases to resonate and the deafness subsides.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Reveal (Divination)

    Range: 0
    +Duration: 15 rounds
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +Reveal is the definitive divinatory spell. Once per round, until the spell expires, all hostile illusion/phantasm spells in an area around 70 feet in radius will be dispelled, while the main alignment of any creature not in the caster's party will be revealed (no save).
    +
    +In addition, the caster gains the ability to cast an innate 'Reveal Area' spell, up to once per round: this requires just a minimal and instantaneous shift of concentration (so that further spell casting is not prevented), and allows him/her to focus on a specific portion of the current area and see from a distance all that is happening there. Areas 'spied' this way remain visualized in the caster's mind for two rounds after each use of the ability.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Divination, or Diviner.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

    Righteous Magic

    This is a powerful combat blessing that enhances the paladin's physical prowess, transforming him/her into a juggernaut of righteous anger. The effect adds 1 temporary hit point for every level of the paladin, adds 1 point of strength for every three levels of the paladin (to a maximum of 25), and inflicts maximum damage with every hit for 2 rounds. The other effects last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Paladin.

    Rune of Immunity (Abjuration)

    Range: Visual range of the caster
    +Duration: 10 rounds
    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +Upon the casting of this spell, an enchanted rune is placed under the target creature. In a few moments magical energies are collected to form an impenetrable barrier around the target itself, making it immune to all schools of magic for a short time. Not even friendly spells can penetrate this barrier, even though the protected creature may freely cast spells from the inside.
    +
    +Rune of Immunity can only be dispelled by Pierce Shield or Spell Strike.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Abjuration, or Abjurer, or Sorcerer (Celestial Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Transmuter.

    +

    Scorn Injury

    In a berserker fury, the character can shrug off wounds that would fell lesser opponents.
    +
    +This passive ability doubles the extra hit points gained during a berserker rage.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Berserker.

    +

    Searing Fists

    The monk's greater attunement to his/her ki increases the purity of his/her Flaming Fists power. It now inflicts 3d6 damage per hit.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Sun Soul Monk.

    +

    Second Wind

    With many years of training and meditation and the purest of minds, untainted by the the slightest trace of evil, Monks can gain the ability to achieve a second wind.

    +
    +Prerequisite: Regeneration; may not be Evil.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Set Acid Trap

    This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful trap that splashes nearby opponents with a highly vitriolic alchemical mixture which deals 10d6 points of acid damage. Once the acid engulfs a target it becomes difficult to remove. Afflicted opponents must make a saving throw vs. breath or take an additional 2d6 points of acid damage during each of the following three rounds. Creatures who are particularly vulnerable to acid damage (such as Trolls) do not get a saving throw. Note that because the trap's acid is alchemical rather than magical in nature, it bypasses magic resistance.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Thief.

    +

    Set Exploding Trap

    This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful trap that unleashes a fireball which causes 15d6 damage (Save vs. Spell for half damage) and will knock its victims off their feet (sufficiently large creatures are unaffected). Note that because the trap's explosion is alchemical rather than magical in nature, it bypasses magic resistance.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Thief.

    +

    Set Spike Trap

    This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful spring-loaded spike trap that does 20d6 damage to the unsuspecting creature that sets it off.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Thief.

    +

    Set Time Trap

    This ability allows the rogue to set a magical trap that casts a weaker version of the high-level Time Stop spell. For 10 seconds, the flow of time slows for all but the rogue. Often, a rogue will use this trap to get behind an opponent for a free attack.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter / Mage / Thief or high level Mage / Thief.

    +

    Set Toxic Trap

    This ability allows the Bounty Hunter to set a specific trap that sets off poisonous toxins when triggered. The poisonous cloud deals 1 poison damage/sec for 15 rounds (save vs. poison for half) and reduces the movement rate of enemies by 75% for 3 rounds (no save). If a living target creature is exposed to the toxins, it must make a saving throw vs. death to avoid falling unconscious. The duration of this state depends on the saving throw penalties (3 rounds if the victim fails the save at 0, 2 rounds if at -2 and one round if at -4). In addition to these effects, the toxins drain 3 points of Constitution from any opponents who fail to save vs. breath at -4.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bounty Hunter.

    +

    Shadow Form

    This ability temporarily transposes some of the user's tissue with shadow-material, making the subject partially incorporeal. For the next 5 rounds, all physical attacks directed against the Shadowdancer only deal 50% of their normal damage. During this time, the Shadowdancer is also under the effects of Improved Invisibility and cannot be directly targeted by spells.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Shadowdancer.

    +

    Shadow Maze

    This ability opens a temporary gateway to a small pocket within the Plane of Shadow. All enemies within 7 feet of the Shadowdancer must make a Save vs. Spell at a -4 penalty or become trapped inside a shadowy labyrinth as per the Maze spell.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Shadowdancer.

    +

    Shadow Twin

    This ability creates an almost exact duplicate of the Shadowdancer for 2 turns. The duplicate is created at 60% of the level at which the Shadowdancer is currently on. It has all the abilities that the Shadowdancer would have at that level. It also has 60% of the Hit Points of the Shadowdancer. The duplicate is fully under the control of the Shadowdancer.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Shadowdancer.

    +Casting Time: 1
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None

    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Illusion, or Illusionist, or Sorcerer (Shadowed Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

    Shadowless Kick

    This ability gives the Monk a one-time attack. This overwhelming assault is always successful; there is no need for an attack roll. The target suffers 5d8 crushing damage, and must save vs. breath at -4 or unconscious for 1 round and, unless sufficiently large, be knocked back a considerable distance by the power of the kick.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    Slippery Mind

    +

    Smite

    With the Smite ability, the warrior gains the ability to strike a mighty blow, knocking an opponent back for a considerable distance and stunning the opponent for 1 round. All attacks made in the first round are critical hits. The ability lasts for 2 rounds.

    Smite Undead

    Channeling his/her god's antipathy for the undead, the Undead Hunter creates a golden ray of light that burns the undead with heavenly flames. Undead foes suffer 20d6 points of magic damage (save vs. breath for half), and must save vs. spells to avoid instant disruption. Even if the saves are successful, the target becomes slowed for one round. The paladin has to be close enough to touch the creature (but there is no need for a successful touch attack) in order to use this ability. Smite Undead does not have any effect on living creatures, elementals, extra-planar creatures or constructs.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Undead Hunter.

    Soul of Ice

    The monk's greater understanding of the teachings of Shar allows him/her to enhance the power of his/her Frozen Fist ability, and to maintain it permanently. It now inflicts 4 points of damage per hit and is always active.

    +

    Sound Barrier

    The most skilled of all Bards are able to fully control the intensity, speed, and direction of the very waves which compose sound, which allows them to shape and bend it as they see fit. By utilizing this ability, the Bard encases him/herself within a sphere of swirling sound waves thereby forming a barrier which protects him/her from all sound-based spells and attacks, such as Silence, Deafness, Power Words, Holy Word, the howl of the demilich, and the wail of the banshee. Anyone who attempts to break through the barrier and strike the Bard in melee takes 2d8 points of sonic damage. Furthermore, the attacker may become deafened (75% chance) or stunned (25% chance) during the following round unless a save vs. breath is made. The sound barrier dissipates after 5 rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Resonating Weapon.

    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 30-feet radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +The Bard magically amplifies the capabilities of a musical instrument in order to fill his/her surroundings with high-pitched, stone-shattering sound waves. Creatures in the nearby area take 15d6 points of sonic damage and are also deafened for five rounds. Deafened creatures suffer a 50% chance of spellcasting failure. A successful save vs. breath halves the damage and negates the deafness.
    +
    +This ability completely ignores any magic resistance of the targets. However, resistance to energy damage can reduce the amount of damage dealt.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Spell Immunity

    High level wizard slayers tend to develop innate abilities similar to their natural enemies. They can raise their Magic Resistance for a limited time, and even become immune to specific spell schools.
    +
    +This ability grants protection from one spell school of your choice. It works similarly to the wizard spell, Spell Immunity, with a few differences. You must choose the school you wish to be protected from, but can only choose between Conjuration, Evocation, Enchantment or Necromancy.
    +
    +No spell of the selected school will be able to harm or aid the wizard slayer until the duration expires, which is 1 round/level, starting at level 9 and increasing to a maximum of 14 rounds at level 23. This includes all spells of this school, including any priest spell that might benefit him/her.

    Spell Worm (Enchantment/Charm)

    Range: Visual sight of caster
    +Duration: 5 Turns
    +Casting Time: 6
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +This high level spell infects the subject with progressive forgetfulness. On a failed save, every round the subject loses his highest-level spell or spell slot. Each subsequent round the subject loses another spell or spell slot, moving to lower level spells once all the higher level spells are gone. In the first round the target is allowed a saving throw vs. spells at a -4 penalty. Every round thereafter there is a chance that the affected victim will lose a spell from the repertoire. The chance of this spell loss is reduced every 5th round by 5% (e.g. the target has 100% chance to lose a spell every round in the first five rounds, and only 75% in the 26-30th rounds). While fighting the effects of a Spell Worm, the caster has a 25% greater chance of spell failure every time he attempts to cast a spell, unless a successful save vs. spell (at -4) is made in the first round. Even if the save is successful however, the mental distraction causes the affected creature to fail every spellcasting attempt for 2 rounds. The spell's effects last for 5 turns.
    +

    Range: 30 yards
    +Duration: 2 turns
    +Casting Time: 6
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: Neg.

    +This spell is used primarily against hostile spellcasters. It distorts all attempts at spell casting, converting spell energy into wild surges.
    +
    +The victim of a wildstrike is allowed a saving throw vs. spells at a -2 penalty: even if the save is successful, the spell has some effect and the target becomes a subject of wild magic for the following 2 rounds (when the victim casts a spell or uses a charge from a magical item, a wild surge is automatically created).
    +If the saving throw is failed, the target is enclosed within a deadlier field of wild magic: the effect lasts 2 turns.

    10th Level Spells

    +
    +
    +
    + +
    + +

    These are the 10th level spells available to high-level mages and sorcerers. 10th level spells are grouped by school, and require the Arcane Knowledge high-level ability for that school. Specialist wizards automatically get access to 10th level spells in their speciality school. If you are using the Talents of Faerun bloodline system for sorcerers, each sorcerer bloodline receives access to one school of 10th level spells automatically (the specific school depends on the bloodline).

    Adamantite Body (Alteration)

    Range: 1
    +Duration: 6 rounds +1 round/5 levels
    +Casting Time: 7
    +Area of Effect: Creature Touched
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +This is an improved version of the mage spell Iron Body; it turns the target creature's body into living adamantite.
    +
    +The new metallic body has many advantages: it reduces AC by 5, grants complete immunity to elemental and poison based attacks, and offers 90% resistance to magical and physical attacks. The target's Magic Damage Resistance is also set to 25%. In addition, the adamantite body can only be harmed by +3 weapons or better. While the new form doesn't allow the use of
    +weapons, the hands will be more than capable for battle - they both act as +4 weapons, deal 4d6 points of damage and are used with grandmaster level of proficiency. However, the target's casting time is increased by 4 as long as the spell lasts.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Abjuration, or Abjurer, or Sorcerer (Celestial Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

    Range: 0
    +Duration: 5 rounds
    +Casting Time: 1
    +Area of Effect: Caster
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell confers upon the mage very powerful protection for a short time.

The mage gains a total AC bonus of 5 and his/her saving throws are improved by 3 points. In addition to these bonuses Aegis protects the caster from the first spell that would normally remove combat or spell protections. The spell lasts for 5 rounds.

    +Duration: 1 turn
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell opens a portal to the Elemental Plane of Air and calls forth air elementals to serve the caster. Upon casting the spell, two 12-HD elementals immediately appear. One round later, a 16-HD elemental appears. One round later still, a 24-HD elemental appears. The elementals serve the caster faithfully, and disappear after 2 turns if they are not destroyed before then.

    Comet (Evocation)

    Range: 90 yards
    +Duration: Instantaneous
    +Casting Time: 3
    +Area of Effect: 30' radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +A more powerful and specialized version of Meteor Swarm, this spell causes a small meteor or comet to strike the earth damaging all enemies in its path and sending out a powerful shockwave that knocks away all creatures in the area of effect. Those knocked down must save vs. breath or be stunned for 3 rounds. The comet itself does 5d10 fire and 5d10 crushing damage.
    +
    +This spell will not damage allies of the caster, who are momentarily shielded by the spell itself from the comet's effects.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Invocation, or Invoker, or Sorcerer (Stormborn Bloodline), or Sorcerer (Rimefrost Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.

    Create Flesh Golem (Alteration)

    Range: 20
    +Duration: Permanent
    +Casting Time: 8
    +Area of Effect: 1 Creature
    +Saving Throw: Neg.
    +
    +By casting this terrible spell, the caster attempts to magically destroy the target creature's body and turn it into a Flesh Golem, controlled by the caster. The target must make a save vs. polymorph to avoid instant death and transformation, but even if the save is successful, it will suffer 3d6 +3 points of damage because of the physical shock. Creatures of 12th level or below receive no saving throw. The newly created Flesh Golem will obey every command of the Transmuter.
    +
    +Normally golems are created in a long and arduous process. The magical bonds in their bodies require tremendous amounts of time and enchantments to be made permanent. The hastened method of this spell's transformation has its drawbacks naturally: any Flesh Golems created by this spell will decay into nothing after 1 hour.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Alteration, or Transmuter, or Sorcerer (Deepearth Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Abjurer, Militant Abjurer, Militant Conjurer, or Militant Necromancer.

    Create Greater Boneguard (Necromancy)

    Range: 20 yards
    +Duration: Special
    +Casting Time: 8
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +The caster sends a powerful call to the long dead corpses buried deep beneath the earth, constructing a horrifying abomination known as a Greater Boneguard. At high levels (25+) the caster is able to create an Apocalyptic Boneguard, a very fearsome ally. Controlling these powerful undead creatures requires intense concentration and is very draining to the caster; he/she will lose 1d8+5 hit points for creating a Greater Boneguard and 1d12+5 hit points for creating an Apocalyptic Boneguard. Greater Boneguards exist for 10 turns and Apocalyptic Boneguards exist for 7 turns.

    Dark Pact (Necromancy)

    Range: 0
    +Duration: 1 hour
    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 50' radius
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +By means of this spell necromancers can increase the power of their undead servants. The caster channels dark magic into a single undead ally, increasing its hit points by 100% and granting it +2 to hit, damage, AC, and saving throws, immunity to Turn Undead, the benefits of an Improved Haste spell, and 50% resistance to magic and magical damage. The caster must be careful, though, since casting the spell causes a loss of 3d6 hit points, and requires a save vs. death at -2 to avoid losing one point of Constitution for 50 turns.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Necromancy, or Necromancer, or Sorcerer (Gravetouched Bloodline).

    +
    +By casting this powerful necromantic spell, the wizard attacks the life force of every opponent within a 50ft radius.

    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Necromancy, or Necromancer, or Sorcerer (Gravetouched Bloodline).

    +Area of Effect: 15-ft. radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +This spell causes a disembodied head of a red dragon to appear and breathe fire with the strength of an adult red dragon.

The victim can save vs. Breath Weapon to take half damage and not be blown backwards.
    +
    +This spell will not harm party members.
    +

    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None

    Range: Self
    +Duration: 2 turns
    +Casting Time: 1
    +Area of Effect: Caster
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell grants the recipient a powerful sixth sense about imminent events involving himself. Once the spell is cast, the character receives instantaneous warnings of impending danger or harm to the subject of the spell. The character will never be surprised. In addition, the spell gives the caster a general idea of what action the character might take to best protect him/herself - duck, jump right, close the eyes, and so on.

    +Area of Effect: 30' radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +This devastating spell was created by a powerful drow wizard named Malavon, somewhere deep within The Spine of the World. This is the improved version of his spell Malavon's Rage. The caster causes dozens of magical acid darts to strike anyone within a 30' radius. Every creature caught in the area of effect suffers 15D8 points of acid damage (save vs. breath for half).

    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +Mirrored Clones creates two copies of the caster, perfect duplicates except for the fact that they have just 60% of the levels and hit points of the original individual. These duplicates are able to cast spells and attack under the control of the caster, who is also placed under a mislead-like effect for the entire duration of the spell. The clones are quasi-real phantasms and as such are not vulnerable to effects like Truesight and Detect Illusions.

    +
    +In addition, the caster gains the ability to cast an innate 'Reveal Area' spell, up to once per round: this requires just a minimal and instantaneous shift of concentration (so that further spell casting is not prevented), and allows him/her to focus on a specific portion of the current area and see from a distance all that is happening there. Areas 'spied' this way remain visualized in the caster's mind for two rounds after each use of the ability.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Divination, or Diviner.
    +

    +Duration: 10 rounds
    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +Upon the casting of this spell, an enchanted rune is placed under the target creature. In a few moments magical energies are collected to form an impenetrable barrier around the target itself, making it immune to all schools of magic for a short time. Not even friendly spells can penetrate this barrier, even though the protected creature may freely cast spells from the inside.
    +
    +Rune of Immunity can only be dispelled by Pierce Shield or Spell Strike.

    +Casting Time: 1
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +Shadowcloak swathes the caster in a powerful and persistent illusion. The effect resembles a combination of the wizard spells Improved Invisibility and Non-Detection, except that it is automatically reapplied to the caster, once per round, for the duration of the spell.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Illusion, or Illusionist, or Sorcerer (Shadowed Bloodline).

    Spell Worm (Enchantment/Charm)

    Range: Visual sight of caster
    +Duration: 5 Turns
    +Casting Time: 6
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +This high level spell infects the subject with progressive forgetfulness. On a failed save, every round the subject loses his highest-level spell or spell slot. Each subsequent round the subject loses another spell or spell slot, moving to lower level spells once all the higher level spells are gone. In the first round the target is allowed a saving throw vs. spells at a -4 penalty. Every round thereafter there is a chance that the affected victim will lose a spell from the repertoire. The chance of this spell loss is reduced every 5th round by 5% (e.g. the target has 100% chance to lose a spell every round in the first five rounds, and only 75% in the 26-30th rounds). While fighting the effects of a Spell Worm, the caster has a 25% greater chance of spell failure every time he attempts to cast a spell, unless a successful save vs. spell (at -4) is made in the first round. Even if the save is successful however, the mental distraction causes the affected creature to fail every spellcasting attempt for 2 rounds. The spell's effects last for 5 turns.

    Range: Visual range of caster
    +Duration: 8 rounds
    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +True Dominion is the ultimate mental control spell. It enables the caster to control the actions of a single target through a telepathic link. The power of the spell is such that there is no saving throw against its effects, and magic resistance is useless against it; however, magical items that protect against charm and domination also protect against True Dominion, and certain sorts of creatures - notably demons, dragons and the undead - are unaffected by any form of charm or domination magic.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Enchantment, or Enchanter, or Sorcerer (Fey Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Bloodrager, Invoker, Militant Invoker, Militant Necromancer, or Sorcerer (Gravetouched Bloodline).

    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell opens a portal to the Elemental Plane of Water and calls forth water elementals to serve the caster. Upon casting the spell, two 12-HD elementals immediately appear. One round later, a 16-HD elemental appears. One round later still, a 24-HD elemental appears. The elementals serve the caster faithfully, and disappear after 2 turns if they are not destroyed before then.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Water sphere or high level Water Elementalist.

    +

    Wildstrike (Conjuration/Summoning)

    Range: 30 yards
    +Duration: 2 turns
    +Casting Time: 6
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: Neg.
    +
    +This spell is used primarily against hostile spellcasters. It distorts all attempts at spell casting, converting spell energy into wild surges.
    +
    +The victim of a wildstrike is allowed a saving throw vs. spells at a -2 penalty: even if the save is successful, the spell has some effect and the target becomes a subject of wild magic for the following 2 rounds (when the victim casts a spell or uses a charge from a magical item, a wild surge is automatically created).
    +If the saving throw is failed, the target is enclosed within a deadlier field of wild magic: the effect lasts 2 turns. In addition, when determining the effects of this surge, the true level of the caster is subtracted from the die roll, making the effects of the wild surge more likely to harm the victim.
    +
    +Magic Resistance has no effect on this spell.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Wild Mage.

If a bard agrees to spread stories and songs of their legendary deeds in order to prevent them from being forgotten, a spirit of one of these valiant fighters will materialize and join the bard's cause for a short while (10 rounds). The mere presence of this fabled warrior instills courage in all nearby allies raising their morale to its highest. The Spirit Warrior summoned by a Skald is slightly more powerful than that summoned by other bards.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Enhanced Bard Song: the Epic of

    This mighty battle chant grants the Bard and his/her allies +4 to hit, +4 to all saving throws, +10% bonus to magic resistance and immunity to Fear and Charm. The Bard him/herself receives an 8 point bonus to all of his/her saving throws while singing the song.

    Enthralling Melody

    Range: Visual range of the caster
    +Duration: 5 rounds
    +Casting Time: 7
    +Area of Effect: 30-feet radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +By softly humming a subtly hypnotic tune, an experienced Bard can captivate and enthrall any audience, even creatures that do not understand his/her language. Opponents in the area of effect must successfully save vs. paralyzation or give the Bard their undivided attention, totally ignoring their surroundings and becoming fascinated for the following five rounds. Fascinated creatures can take no actions for the duration of the effect; however, they can still perceive danger on a subconscious level, so any hostile action taken against them automatically breaks this state. In addition, even if opponents make their saving throws and avoid the fascination effect, there is still a 25% chance that they will become confused for one round (no save) from being too deeply immersed into the hypnotic pattern of the song.
    +
    +This ability completely ignores any magic resistance of the targets. However, it has no effect on mindless creatures such as Constructs, Skeletons, Zombies and Slimes.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Extra Level 6 Spell

    Choosing this ability allows the character to cast an additional level 6 arcane spell.

While in Defensive Spin, the blade will be able to move around, though his/her movement rate will be reduced to 50%.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blade.

    +

    Greater War Cry

    With Greater War Cry, the character's War Cry becomes more powerful. The character emits a powerful and frightening yell that will leave all opponents in a 30' radius panicked with fear if they fail to save vs. spell at -2. In addition to this effect, Greater War Cry will increase the combat effectiveness of nearby party members by granting them a THAC0 bonus of 3 and immunity to fear effects for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: War Cry.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter or high level Skald.

    +

    Lingering Song

    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected twice. Its effects are cumulative.

    +

    Maestro of Enchantment

    The bard can mimic the effects of any commonly-known arcane enchantment spell of 6th level or less. This ability can be used three times per day.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Mass Charm

    Range: Visual range of the caster
    +Duration: 5 rounds
    +Casting Time: 6
    +Area of Effect: 30-feet radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +An experienced Bard eventually learns to influence the actions of his/her opponents. By focusing his/her willpower a Bard can suggest a course of activity which opponents feel strongly compelled to follow. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable. Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out and break the enchantment. If a common language is shared, the Bard can generally force the subjects to perform as he/she desires, within the limits of their abilities. If no common language is shared, the character can communicate only by using basic commands, such as "Come here," "Go there," "Fight," "Stand still" etc. Opponents can attempt a saving throw vs. spells in order to avoid being controlled, but even if they succeed, there is still a 25% chance that they will suffer a mental breakdown from the amount of stress that their minds have suffered. This will effectively cause them to enter a Berserk state (no save) and attack the nearest creature for one round.
    +
    +This ability completely ignores any magic resistance of the targets. However, it has no effect on undead, or on mindless creatures such as constructs and slimes. The racial charm resistance of Elves and Half-Elves also applies.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Power Attack

    A Power Attack allows the warrior to strike blows so forceful that they stun an opponent for 2 rounds if the opponent fails a Save vs. Death at a -4 penalty. The ability lasts for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Skald.

    +

    Resonating Weapon

    Bards eventually achieve a high degree of control over sound which enables them to imbue any weapon with concentrated sound energy for a short while. A weapon imbued in this fashion resonates with a sharp tone and deals an extra 2d4 points of sonic damage to its target on each hit. Furthermore, anyone struck by the resonating weapon must save vs. breath or become temporarily deafened. After 4 rounds have passed, the weapon ceases to resonate and the deafness subsides.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Slippery Mind

    This rogue can occasionally manage to wriggle free from magical effects that would otherwise control or compel him/her. The first time he/she fails a saving throw against charm, domination, or similar magic, he/she is nonetheless unaffected. This ability can function at most once per hour.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard or high level Thief.

    +

    Sound Barrier

    The most skilled of all Bards are able to fully control the intensity, speed, and direction of the very waves which compose sound, which allows them to shape and bend it as they see fit. By utilizing this ability, the Bard encases him/herself within a sphere of swirling sound waves thereby forming a barrier which protects him/her from all sound-based spells and attacks, such as Silence, Deafness, Power Words, Holy Word, the howl of the demilich, and the wail of the banshee. Anyone who attempts to break through the barrier and strike the Bard in melee takes 2d8 points of sonic damage. Furthermore, the attacker may become deafened (75% chance) or stunned (25% chance) during the following round unless a save vs. breath is made. The sound barrier dissipates after 5 rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Resonating Weapon.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Sound Burst

    Range: Visual range of the caster
    +Duration: Instantaneous
    +Casting Time: 5
    +Area of Effect: 30-feet radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +The Bard magically amplifies the capabilities of a musical instrument in order to fill his/her surroundings with high-pitched, stone-shattering sound waves. Creatures in the nearby area take 15d6 points of sonic damage and are also deafened for five rounds. Deafened creatures suffer a 50% chance of spellcasting failure. A successful save vs. breath halves the damage and negates the deafness.
    +
    +This ability completely ignores any magic resistance of the targets. However, resistance to energy damage can reduce the amount of damage dealt.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard.

    +

    Use Any Item

    Rogues take pride in their ability to adapt and make clever use of whatever is at hand. This ability is an extension of that basic skill. Once learned, the effect is permanent. The ability allows the rogue to use any item, even items that are typically restricted to one class. This allows the rogue to use everything from wands and scrolls to mighty weapons that none but a warrior could otherwise use.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Use Wands.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard or high level Thief.

    +

    War Cry

    With a War Cry, the warrior emits a powerful and frightening yell that will panic all opponents in a 15-ft. radius if they don't make their Save vs. Spell.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter or high level Skald.

    Abyssal Pact

    The blackguard has come to an arrangement with a mighty demon lord; in exchange for present and future favors too hideous to contemplate, the blackguard may use the demon lord's patronage to command the service of a marilith, glabrezu, nabassu or other demon once per day. Demons are capricious and it can never be guaranteed which demons will respect the pact, but in general only Balors and demon lords will dare to refuse the blackguard's command, though the demon will remain at the blackguard's side for only a single turn before departing.
    +
    +The blackguard takes a terrible risk in making the pact. Each time he/she uses this ability, he/she has a 10% chance of forfeiting his/her soul to his/her patron. If this happens, the blackguard will not be able to be resurrected after his/her death: he/she will be forever lost.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Blood War Secrets; may not be Lawful.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Blood War Secrets

    The fiends of the lower planes constantly war against one another: baatezu dukes contest for control of the nine hells of Baator, demon lords pursue aeons-old rivalry, and the Blood War between baatezu and tanar'ri rages on. The most vile of blackguards have learned many of the hard-won fighting methods that the fiends have acquired against one another.
    +
    +This passive ability gives the blackguard a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls when fighting lower-planar creatures.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Deathblow

    The Deathblow ability allows the warrior to blow through the defenses of any lesser creature. For the next 2 rounds, any creature of 10th level or lower is instantly killed when struck by the warrior.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Deathkiss

    This compound causes instant death in weaker victims. Anyone struck by the poison suffers 6 poison damage (no save) and then must make a save vs. poison at -2. Creatures with 60 or fewer hit points die instantly if they fail the saving throw; other creatures who fail their saving throw take 1 hit point of damage per second for 24 seconds.
    +
    +No creature can be affected by the poison more often than once per round.
    +
    +Characters with this ability can opt to use this poison when they activate their Poison Weapon ability.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Hardiness

    Calling upon hidden reserves of strength during times of danger, a warrior can use the Hardiness ability to gain 40% resistance to all forms of physical damage. The ability lasts for 1 round for every 2 levels of the warrior.

    Harm (Necromancy)

    Sphere: Necromantic
    +Range: Touch
    +Duration: Permanent
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: 1 creature
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell is the reverse of Heal. Instead of healing the creature touched, it causes damage. On a successful touch from the priest, the spell reduces the target to 1 Hit Point. The next attack that the priest makes will inflict this effect; however, he/she only has 2 rounds to make the attack before the spell fizzles. If the priest misses the target creature, the spell is wasted. There is no Saving Throw.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Infernal Contract

    The blackguard has signed a contract with a high-ranking power in the Nine Hells - perhaps one of the Dark Eight, the pit fiends who oversee the Blood War; perhaps a being darker still. The long-term consequences for the blackguard's soul are dire, but in the short term, he/she is able, once per day, to demand the allegiance of a cornugon, abishai or other baatezu devil. The contracts of the Hells are so byzantine that it can never be guaranteed which baatezu will be bound by the contract, but in general only the mighty Pit Fiends - and baatezu of similar power - are unconstrained by it; other baatezu must obey without question, though the length of their service is only one turn and they will depart immediately afterwards.
    +
    +Each time the blackguard uses this ability, he/she has a 10% chance of forfeiting his/her soul to his/her patron. If this happens, the blackguard will not be able to be resurrected after his/her death: he/she will be forever lost.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Blood War Secrets; may not be Chaotic.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Nerve Venom

    This compound partially paralyses its victim, reducing their attack rolls, damage and AC by 4 and giving them a 25% spell failure chance. The effects of the poison last for five rounds, and there is no saving throw against the effect. The poison does not otherwise damage the victim.
    +
    +No creature can be affected by the poison more often than once per round.
    +
    +Characters with this ability can opt to use this poison when they activate their Poison Weapon ability.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Poison Aptitude

    The assassin has learned the skill of brewing exceptionally potent poisons. Saving throws against his/her Poison Weapon ability now suffer an additional -2 penalty.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Poison Expertise

    The assassin's understanding of poison brewing deepens. The -2 saving throw penalty imposed by the Poison Aptitude ability now increases to -4.

    +Prerequisite: Poison Aptitude.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Power Attack

    A Power Attack allows the warrior to strike blows so forceful that they stun an opponent for 2 rounds if the opponent fails a Save vs. Death at a -4 penalty. The ability lasts for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Skald.

    +

    Profane Fire

    Channeling blasphemous power from the Lower Planes, the blackguard calls forth a pillar of hellfire that consumes mortal foes. The victim suffers 20d6 points of damage (save vs. spells for half), of which half is fire and half is magic damage. Profane fire has no effect on undead or lower-planar creatures.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Resist Magic

    This ability allows the warrior to temporarily tap a great inner strength and fight off the effects of malevolent magic. For 4 rounds, the warrior's Magic Resistance is set to 50%. This is not cumulative with other forms of Magic Resistance, so if the warrior already has 50% Magic Resistance or greater, the ability is useless.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Summon Balor

    As a consequence of the blackguard's pact with a demon lord, he/she may now, once per day, command the services of a terrible Balor demon drawn forth from the Abyss. The summoned fiend will faithfully obey the blackguard's commands.
    +
    +Each time the blackguard uses this ability, he/she has a 25% chance of forfeiting his/her soul to his/her patron. If this happens, the blackguard will not be able to be resurrected after his/her death: he/she will be forever lost.
    +

    +
    +Each time the blackguard uses this ability, he/she has a 25% chance of forfeiting his/her soul to his/her patron. If this happens, the blackguard will not be able to be resurrected after his/her death: he/she will be forever lost.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Infernal Contract.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blackguard.

    +

    Whirlwind Attack

    This ability allows the warrior to unleash a flurry of super-fast blows. The ability sets one's number of attacks per round to 10, but one's THAC0 and damage suffer a 4 point penalty. The Whirlwind Attack lasts for one round.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Swashbuckler.

    The character's rapport with the divine has reached the stage where they can imbue water with a small part of that divine power, creating potions of healing and protection. Brewing potions requires the expenditure of gold on the raw materials (equal to the cost of buying the potion in a store) and draws slightly on the character's life force (equivalent to a loss of 1 experience point per gold piece cost).
    +
    +The character may brew the following potions:

    +Prerequisite: Whirlwind Attack.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Barbarian.

    +

    Hardiness

    Calling upon hidden reserves of strength during times of danger, a warrior can use the Hardiness ability to gain 40% resistance to all forms of physical damage. The ability lasts for 1 round for every 2 levels of the warrior.
    +
    +This ability does not stack with Defensive Stance.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Improved Defensive Stance

    The most experienced Dwarven Defenders have learned to channel and magnify their natural dwarven resistances whilst using Defensive Stance.
    +
    +This passive ability may be taken up to four times. Each time, the character's Defensive Stance ability gains additional powers, as follows:
    +
    +1st time: +40% to poison resistance
    +2nd time: +20% to elemental (fire, cold, acid, lightning) resistance; poison resistance increases to 75%
    +3rd time: +20% to magic resistance; elemental resistance increases to 40%
    +4th time: +30% to magic damage resistance (Magic Missile, Horrid Wilting etc); magic resistance increases to 40%
    +
    +Requirements: high level Dwarven Defender.

    +

    Power Attack

    A Power Attack allows the warrior to strike blows so forceful that they stun an opponent for 2 rounds if the opponent fails a Save vs. Death at a -4 penalty. The ability lasts for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Skald.

    +

    Resist Magic

    This ability allows the warrior to temporarily tap a great inner strength and fight off the effects of malevolent magic. For 4 rounds, the warrior's Magic Resistance is set to 50%. This is not cumulative with other forms of Magic Resistance, so if the warrior already has 50% Magic Resistance or greater, the ability is useless.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Scorn Injury

    In a berserker fury, the character can shrug off wounds that would fell lesser opponents.

    +
    +Prerequisite: Critical Strike.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter.

    +

    Spell Immunity

    High level wizard slayers tend to develop innate abilities similar to their natural enemies. They can raise their Magic Resistance for a limited time, and even become immune to specific spell schools.
    +
    +This ability grants protection from one spell school of your choice. It works similarly to the wizard spell, Spell Immunity, with a few differences. You must choose the school you wish to be protected from, but can only choose between Conjuration, Evocation, Enchantment or Necromancy.
    +
    +No spell of the selected school will be able to harm or aid the wizard slayer until the duration expires, which is 1 round/level, starting at level 9 and increasing to a maximum of 14 rounds at level 23. This includes all spells of this school, including any priest spell that might benefit him/her.

    Supernatural Fury

    High-level barbarians, through primal rituals, fasting and animal sacrifice, can infuse their rage with supernatural energies.
    +

    +
    +Requirements: high level Barbarian.

    +

    Tempestuous Rage

    +Requirements: high level Barbarian.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Earth Elementalist or Fire Elementalist.

    +

    Tireless Rage

    The barbarian can sustain his/her rage for a greater period of time. This passive ability doubles the duration of his/her rage ability.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Barbarian.

    +

    True Kai

    This type of attack requires extensive training, and only the most skilled fighters are able to use it in combat properly. For 2 rounds all attacks made will be at maximum damage and each hit has 25% chance to kill the opponent if it fails to save vs. death at -2.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Kensai.

    +

    Volcanic Rage

    +

    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter or high level Skald.

    +

    Whirlwind Attack

    This ability allows the warrior to unleash a flurry of super-fast blows. The ability sets one's number of attacks per round to 10, but one's THAC0 and damage suffer a 4 point penalty. The Whirlwind Attack lasts for one round.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Swashbuckler.

    +

    Alchemy: Warrior potions

    The character has learned the secrets of brewing potions that grant warriors superhuman strength and prowess. Brewing potions requires the expenditure of gold on the raw materials (equal to the cost of buying the potion in a store) and draws slightly on the character's life force (equivalent to a loss of 1 experience point per gold piece cost).

    +Potion of Storm Giant Strength
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard, high level Mage, or high level Sorcerer.

    +

    Arcane Knowledge

    The time and effort powerful wizards put into the study of complex spells, magical artifacts and the very essence of magic does not happen without rewards. The wizard's studies open his/her mind to new ways of thinking and perceiving the multiverse.
    +his/her extensive knowledge will give him/her the answer to even the most obscure problem; the broadening of his/her mental faculties make him/her capable of learning and memorizing an even greater variety of magic.
    +gives the character the ability to select high-level abilities associated with a specific school of magic.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to spellcasters who lack access to this school of magic.
    +
    +Special: this ability can be taken multiple times, granting access to a new school of magic each time. Specialists in a school of magic, and sorcerers with a bloodline granting special affinity to that school, do not need to take Arcane Knowledge in that school to gain access to its High-Level Abilities.

    +

    Demon Binding

    Through perusal of forbidden texts and conversations of a questionable nature, the character has learned some of the secrets of the fiends of the lower planes, and - through dark pacts, fragments of true names, and raw power - can exercise a modicum of control over some of them. When using the mage spells Summon Fiend and Cacofiend to bring forth a fiend, the character will bind the fiend called forth to obey his/her will, instead of simply leaving it to rampage at random.
    +
    +Most wizards avoid demon binding for good reason: he/she who trafficks with fiends puts his/her immortal soul at risk. Each time the character summons and binds a fiend, there is a 10% chance that his/her alignment will shift one step towards evil. If he/she is already evil, there is instead a 10% chance that his/her soul will be forfeit to the denizens of the lower planes. A character whose soul is lost in this way cannot be resurrected from the dead - once slain, he/she is forever lost.
    +
    +This ability may be taken twice. When taken a second time, the character gains the ability to bind even the mighty fiends called forth by the Gate spell. When doing so, the risk of the character sliding towards evil, or of forfeiting his/her soul, increases to 25%.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Conjuration, or Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Fiendish Bloodline), or Sorcerer (Efreeti Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Bloodrager, Diviner, or Militant Invoker.
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected twice. Its effects are cumulative.

    +

    Diviner's Focus

    A mage who has truly mastered divination magic can focus it to look past the glamers and phantasms that opponents conjure up as distractions.
    +
    +This passive ability enhances castings of the divination spells Detect Invisibility, Oracle, True Sight, and Reveal. Upon casting any of these spells, for 10 rounds the caster is able to see the exact location of a creature protected by the Improved Invisibility spell or similar effects. The caster may target spells on any such creature normally.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Divination, or Diviner.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Bloodrager, Conjurer, Militant Abjurer, Militant Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Shadowed Bloodline).

    +

    Extra Level 6 Spell

    Choosing this ability allows the character to cast an additional level 6 arcane spell.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast sixth-level arcane spells.

    +

    Extra Level 7 Spell

    Choosing this ability allows the character to cast an additional level 7 arcane spell.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast seventh-level arcane spells.

    +

    Extra Level 8 Spell

    Choosing this ability allows the character to cast an additional level 8 arcane spell.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast eighth-level arcane spells.

    +

    Pierce the Veil

    The character's mastery of divination magic is complete, and none may hide from his/her sight.
    +
    +A character with this ability can automatically see through the protection of an Improved Invisibility spell, and may cast Detect Invisibility at will.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Divination, or Diviner.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Bloodrager, Conjurer, Militant Abjurer, Militant Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Shadowed Bloodline).

    +

    Wishcraft

    The genies of the Elemental Planes are renowned for their guile, especially in the matter of the correct phrasing of wishes, but through mastery of conjuration the character has learned their ways and is now their equal in negotiation.
    +
    +This passive ability grants the character the ability to cast the Limited Wish and Wish spells as if he/she had a Wisdom of 25.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Conjuration, or Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Fiendish Bloodline), or Sorcerer (Efreeti Bloodline).
    +

    Monk High-Level Abilities

    +
    +
    +
    + +
    + +

    This page lists High-Level Abilities available to Monks.

    Note that this list assumes a full install of Talents of Faerun, excluding the 'new low-level abilities' component. If you have a partial install, your High-Level Ability system may differ from the one documented here in small ways.

    +

    + +

    +
    + + + +
    +

    Chant

    This ability gives the Monk powerful physical protections for a very short time. It increases Slashing, Piercing, Crushing and Missile resistances to 75%, and increases Fire, Cold, and Lightning resistances by 25%. There is a price for such protection however: by focusing ki-energies against physical attacks, the monk’s innate magic resistance will be nullified until this state expires. The effects of this ability last for 3 rounds. Multiple Chants are not cumulative.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Diamond Soul.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Diamond Soul

    The monk is able to tune his/her body with skill and quasi-magical abilities to the point that he/she becomes a magical creature. When he/she achieves a state of unshakeable stability in body and soul,
    +he/she is no longer affected by spells and other abilities that would endanger this unity or attempt to manipulate his/her physical form.
    +
    +Diamond Soul renders the monk immune to effects like Petrification, Disintegration or Polymorph.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Displacement

    After becoming a partially ethereal creature, the monk can develop the ability to use this power instinctively in dangerous situations. When seriously injured he/she connects with the ethereal world, slipping his/her body out of phase with reality. When his/her hit points fall below 20% of their maximum the monk partially fades out, which grants him/her +2 AC and immunity to weapons with less than +3 enchantment level for 5 rounds. While in this state, the monk can still be seen by those around him/her and can be targeted by spells and magical effects. The effect can trigger only once in an 8-hour period.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Ethereal.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Dragon Fist

    High level Monks have the ability to focus Ki energies in their bodies in many ways. When using this ability all attacks made by the Monk in the next round will remove one Specific Protection up to 8th level (save vs. breath at -2), one Magical Protection up to 8th level (no save), and one Physical Protection up to 8th level (save vs breath). Creatures hit by Dragon Fist must also save vs. breath at -4, or their Magic Resistance will be reduced by 19% for 6 rounds. This effect is cumulative. Dragon Fist always removes the strongest Protection spell from the target.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Shadowless Kick.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Ethereal

    As a magical being, the high-level monk can assume an ethereal state for a limited time. For 5 rounds he/she becomes completely invisible to the eyes of others and receives a 4 point bonus to AC. In the first 2 rounds of this state he/she cannot be detected, not even by magical means, and the ethereal form grants him/her immunity to weapons below +4 enchantment level. If the monk makes an attack, creatures around him/her will know about his presence and he/she will become partially visible. During the ethereal state the monk cannot use any of his/her innate abilitie
    +s.
    +
    +Note that powerful creatures - like Demons or Dragons - will still be able to see and attack the monk while ethereal.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Diamond Soul.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Evasion

    This ability mirrors the thief's Evasion ability: when attacked by a spell that allows the character to make a saving throw for half damage, and when it is possible to dodge, fall flat, or otherwise nimbly evade the spell's effects, the character takes no damage (instead of half damage) on a successful save.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Barbarian or high level Monk.

    +

    Faster Than the Eye

    The monk can increase his/her movement speed to unbelievable heights for a single moment. During this time the monk is able to run to a point within sight in an instant, without being stopped or hurt by anyone.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Finger of Destruction

    Evil monks can focus Ki energies in the most harmful ways. The Finger of Destruction is a secret and forbidden technique to most monks, and only those with no respect towards the lives of others are able to learn it.
    +
    +By concentrating his/her Ki into one point on the target's body, the monk touches an opponent with his/her pointing finger. If the attack is successful, the victim loses 5 points of Constitution and suffers a 2 point penalty to saves vs. death for 5 turns (no save). Creatures below 10 Hit Dice die immediately, and even those above this level suffer 10 points of magical damage.
    +
    +In addition to the instant effects, the destructive energies keep weakening the target, who will suffer an additional 1 point penalty to Constitution and saves vs. death every second round for 1 turn. The victim is entitled to a saving throw vs. death every time to avoid further negative effects.
    +
    +Finger of Destruction can only be used once per day.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Dragon Fist; may not be Good.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Inner Time

    is the pinnacle of the monk's mental and physical abilities. Having achieved perfect focus in body and soul, the most experienced monks are able to slow their inner time to a point where they sense every second as if it were five. This state allows them to judge combat situations more wisely and react to the surrounding world much more quickly and effectively.
    +
    +Inner Time not simply hastens the mind; the body becomes faster too. A spectator would find the monk's movement and actions incredibly fast. his/her fists become more dangerous than any other weapon: he/she gets 8 attacks/round, his/her damage, THAC0 and AC get a 4 points bonus, attack and casting speeds are also reduced by 2. he/she can catch missiles and throw them back to the attacker with the same move, and is protected from backstabs.
    +
    +The ability expires after 3 rounds, whereupon the monk will become winded and will be unable to use any special attacks or abilities for the following 2 rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Faster Than the Eye.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Regeneration

    Experienced monks can focus ki-energies in their bodies to regenerate themselves. The monk's regeneration rate will be increased by 2 hit points per round. This ability can be selected up to five times and its bonuses are cumulative with every other regeneration effect on the character.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Diamond Soul.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected up to 5 times. Its effects are cumulative.

    +

    Searing Fists

    The monk's greater attunement to his/her ki increases the purity of his/her Flaming Fists power. It now inflicts 3d6 damage per hit.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Sun Soul Monk.

    +

    Second Wind

    With many years of training and meditation and the purest of minds, untainted by the the slightest trace of evil, Monks can gain the ability to achieve a second wind. Second Wind grants the monk the ability to instantly heal his/her wounds when his/her Hit Points fall below 10% of their maximum. This ability can trigger only once per 8-hour period.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Regeneration; may not be Evil.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Shadowless Kick

    This ability gives the Monk a one-time attack. This overwhelming assault is always successful; there is no need for an attack roll. The target suffers 5d8 crushing damage, and must save vs. breath at -4 or unconscious for 1 round and, unless sufficiently large, be knocked back a considerable distance by the power of the kick.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Monk.

    +

    Soul of Ice

    The monk's greater understanding of the teachings of Shar allows him/her to enhance the power of his/her Frozen Fist ability, and to maintain it permanently. It now inflicts 4 points of damage per hit and is always active.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Dark Moon Monk.

    +

    Tiger Strike

    With this ability, the monk strikes a mighty blow, knocking an opponent back for a considerable distance and stunning that opponent for 1 round. All attacks made in the first round are at maximum damage. The ability lasts for 2 rounds. Large creatures such as dragons or giants will not be knocked back or stunned.

    +
    + + + +
    +

    Circle of Law

    By using this powerful ability the character turns into a bastion of Law and will gain unassailable protections against chaotic and evil creatures and effects. It grants the character complete immunity to all Necromancy spells, and gives a 3 point bonus to save vs. death and to armor class. Furthermore the character and his/her companions in a 15' radius area will be protected from Evil and all chaotic spells or effects like Chaos, Drunkenness, Fear, Berserk, etc.
    +
    +This ability lasts for 10 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Cavalier.

    +

    Deathblow

    The Deathblow ability allows the warrior to blow through the defenses of any lesser creature. For the next 2 rounds, any creature of 10th level or lower is instantly killed when struck by the warrior.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Hardiness

    Calling upon hidden reserves of strength during times of danger, a warrior can use the Hardiness ability to gain 40% resistance to all forms of physical damage. The ability lasts for 1 round for every 2 levels of the warrior.
    +
    +This ability does not stack with Defensive Stance.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Holy Aura

    High-level Paladins can radiate a powerful aura of goodness and purity. All party members and allies standing in a 10' radius area around them will gain a +2 bonus to AC and saves versus Evil aligned creatures. These effects are permanent as long as those protected by the paladin's aura stay close to them. Any creatures leaving the aura's area of effect will lose these protections in half a round. Bonuses from multiple auras are not cumulative.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Paladin.

    +

    Power Attack

    A Power Attack allows the warrior to strike blows so forceful that they stun an opponent for 2 rounds if the opponent fails a Save vs. Death at a -4 penalty. The ability lasts for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Skald.

    +

    Resist Magic

    This ability allows the warrior to temporarily tap a great inner strength and fight off the effects of malevolent magic. For 4 rounds, the warrior's Magic Resistance is set to 50%. This is not cumulative with other forms of Magic Resistance, so if the warrior already has 50% Magic Resistance or greater, the ability is useless.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Righteous Magic

    This is a powerful combat blessing that enhances the paladin's physical prowess, transforming him/her into a juggernaut of righteous anger. The effect adds 1 temporary hit point for every level of the paladin, adds 1 point of strength for every three levels of the paladin (to a maximum of 25), and inflicts maximum damage with every hit for 2 rounds. The other effects last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Paladin.

    +

    Shield of Law

    By using this powerful ability the paladin turns into a bastion of Law and will have unassailable protections against chaotic and evil creatures and effects. It grants the paladin complete immunity to all Necromancy spells, and gives a 3 point bonus to save vs. death and to armor class. Furthermore the paladin will be protected from Evil and all chaotic spells or effects like Chaos, Drunkenness, Fear, Berserk, etc.
    +This ability lasts for 10 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Paladin.

    +

    Smite Undead

    Channeling his/her god's antipathy for the undead, the Undead Hunter creates a golden ray of light that burns the undead with heavenly flames. Undead foes suffer 20d6 points of magic damage (save vs. breath for half), and must save vs. spells to avoid instant disruption. Even if the saves are successful, the target becomes slowed for one round. The paladin has to be close enough to touch the creature (but there is no need for a successful touch attack) in order to use this ability. Smite Undead does not have any effect on living creatures, elementals, extra-planar creatures or constructs.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Undead Hunter.

    +

    + +

    +
    + + + +
    +

    Ambidexterity

    The character has learned to use both hands equally when fighting, and no longer suffers an additional -2 penalty with off-hand attack rolls when dual-wielding.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Blade, high level Ranger, or high level Swashbuckler.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Archer.

    +

    Deathblow

    The Deathblow ability allows the warrior to blow through the defenses of any lesser creature. For the next 2 rounds, any creature of 10th level or lower is instantly killed when struck by the warrior.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Empowered Animal Summoning

    The character's strong bond to the natural world allows him/her to bolster the strength and resilience of the animals he/she summons to his/her side.
    +
    +This passive ability causes summoned animals to appear with a +4 bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, armor class and a +2 bonus to saving throws, and to have the ability to harm creatures unaffected by nonmagical or +1 weapons. The spells affected are Animal Summoning (any rank) and Conjure Animals. The power does not affect summoned elementals or fey.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Beast Master or high level Druid.

    +

    Endurance

    High-level rangers are capable of tremendous feats of stamina and endurance, from tireless marches to perseverence despite grave injuries and hardships.
    +
    +This passive ability grants the ranger a 20% boost to movement rate, immunity to fatigue and unconsciousness, a 10% bonus to maximum hit points, and a +1 bonus to saving throws and attack rolls.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Ranger.

    +

    Extra Favored Enemy

    The character adds an additional creature type to his/her list of favored enemies (rangers get +4 to hit and damage vs. favored enemies).
    +
    +Requirements: high level Ranger
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected multiple times, adding a new favored enemy each time.

    +

    Hardiness

    Calling upon hidden reserves of strength during times of danger, a warrior can use the Hardiness ability to gain 40% resistance to all forms of physical damage. The ability lasts for 1 round for every 2 levels of the warrior.
    +
    +This ability does not stack with Defensive Stance.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Nemesis

    The character gains an additional +4 to damage, and +2 to armor class and saving throws, against one of his/her favored enemy types.
    +
    +Requirements: Ranger
    +
    +Prerequisite: Favored Enemy (this creature type)
    +
    +Special: this ability may be selected multiple times, adding a new nemesis each time.

    +

    Power Attack

    A Power Attack allows the warrior to strike blows so forceful that they stun an opponent for 2 rounds if the opponent fails a Save vs. Death at a -4 penalty. The ability lasts for 2 rounds.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Skald.

    +

    Precision

    +
    +Precision has some drawbacks: it requires intense concentration, making defense difficult, and leaves time for just half of the normally available attacks. The archer's movement rate will be significantly decreased and his/her AC will suffer a 5 point penalty until the ability expires.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Archer.

    +

    Resist Magic

    This ability allows the warrior to temporarily tap a great inner strength and fight off the effects of malevolent magic. For 4 rounds, the warrior's Magic Resistance is set to 50%. This is not cumulative with other forms of Magic Resistance, so if the warrior already has 50% Magic Resistance or greater, the ability is useless.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, or high level Ranger.

    +

    Tracking

    With an intimate knowledge of his/her surroundings and the creatures that live within them, the character can use the Tracking ability to give him/herself a general idea of what creatures are in an area and which direction they are. Red arrows at the edge of the screen will point in the general direction of the creatures in the area.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bounty Hunter or high level Ranger.

    +

    Whirlwind Attack

    This ability allows the warrior to unleash a flurry of super-fast blows. The ability sets one's number of attacks per round to 10, but one's THAC0 and damage suffer a 4 point penalty. The Whirlwind Attack lasts for one round.

    Arcane Knowledge

    The time and effort powerful wizards put into the study of complex spells, magical artifacts and the very essence of magic does not happen without rewards. The wizard's studies open his/her mind to new ways of thinking and perceiving the multiverse.
    +his/her extensive knowledge will give him/her the answer to even the most obscure problem; the broadening of his/her mental faculties make him/her capable of learning and memorizing an even greater variety of magic.
    +gives the character the ability to select high-level abilities associated with a specific school of magic.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to spellcasters who lack access to this school of magic.
    +
    +Special: this ability can be taken multiple times, granting access to a new school of magic each time. Specialists in a school of magic, and sorcerers with a bloodline granting special affinity to that school, do not need to take Arcane Knowledge in that school to gain access to its High-Level Abilities.

    +

    Demon Binding

    Through perusal of forbidden texts and conversations of a questionable nature, the character has learned some of the secrets of the fiends of the lower planes, and - through dark pacts, fragments of true names, and raw power - can exercise a modicum of control over some of them. When using the mage spells Summon Fiend and Cacofiend to bring forth a fiend, the character will bind the fiend called forth to obey his/her will, instead of simply leaving it to rampage at random.
    +
    +Most wizards avoid demon binding for good reason: he/she who trafficks with fiends puts his/her immortal soul at risk. Each time the character summons and binds a fiend, there is a 10% chance that his/her alignment will shift one step towards evil. If he/she is already evil, there is instead a 10% chance that his/her soul will be forfeit to the denizens of the lower planes. A character whose soul is lost in this way cannot be resurrected from the dead - once slain, he/she is forever lost.
    +
    +This ability may be taken twice. When taken a second time, the character gains the ability to bind even the mighty fiends called forth by the Gate spell. When doing so, the risk of the character sliding towards evil, or of forfeiting his/her soul, increases to 25%.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Conjuration, or Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Fiendish Bloodline), or Sorcerer (Efreeti Bloodline).
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +

    +
    +This passive ability enhances castings of the divination spells Detect Invisibility, Oracle, True Sight, and Reveal. Upon casting any of these spells, for 10 rounds the caster is able to see the exact location of a creature protected by the Improved Invisibility spell or similar effects. The caster may target spells on any such creature normally.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Divination, or Diviner.
    +

    +
    +Requirements: high level Dragon Disciple.

    +

    Pierce the Veil

    The character's mastery of divination magic is complete, and none may hide from his/her sight.
    +
    +A character with this ability can automatically see through the protection of an Improved Invisibility spell, and may cast Detect Invisibility at will.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Arcane Knowledge: Divination, or Diviner.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast ninth-level arcane spells.
    +
    +Restrictions: not available to Bloodrager, Conjurer, Militant Abjurer, Militant Conjurer, or Sorcerer (Shadowed Bloodline).

    +

    Recurrent Breath Weapon

    As the Dragon Disciple's draconic heritage shows through more strongly, he/she can use their breath weapon repeatedly, just as a true dragon.
    +
    +The character may use his/her breath weapon once every four rounds.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Empowered Breath Weapon.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Dragon Disciple.

    This compound partially paralyses its victim, reducing their attack rolls, damage and AC by 4 and giving them a 25% spell failure chance. The effects of the poison last for five rounds, and there is no saving throw against the effect. The poison does not otherwise damage the victim.
    +
    +No creature can be affected by the poison more often than once per round.
    +
    +Characters with this ability can opt to use this poison when they activate their Poison Weapon ability.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Poison Aptitude

    The assassin has learned the skill of brewing exceptionally potent poisons. Saving throws against his/her Poison Weapon ability now suffer an additional -2 penalty.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Poison Expertise

    The assassin's understanding of poison brewing deepens. The -2 saving throw penalty imposed by the Poison Aptitude ability now increases to -4.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Poison Aptitude.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Assassin or high level Blackguard.

    +

    Set Acid Trap

    This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful trap that splashes nearby opponents with a highly vitriolic alchemical mixture which deals 10d6 points of acid damage. Once the acid engulfs a target it becomes difficult to remove. Afflicted opponents must make a saving throw vs. breath or take an additional 2d6 points of acid damage during each of the following three rounds. Creatures who are particularly vulnerable to acid damage (such as Trolls) do not get a saving throw. Note that because the trap's acid is alchemical rather than magical in nature, it bypasses magic resistance.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Thief.

    +

    Set Exploding Trap

    This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful trap that unleashes a fireball which causes 15d6 damage (Save vs. Spell for half damage) and will knock its victims off their feet (sufficiently large creatures are unaffected). Note that because the trap's explosion is alchemical rather than magical in nature, it bypasses magic resistance.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Thief.

    +

    Set Spike Trap

    This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful spring-loaded spike trap that does 20d6 damage to the unsuspecting creature that sets it off.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Thief.

    +

    Set Toxic Trap

    This ability allows the Bounty Hunter to set a specific trap that sets off poisonous toxins when triggered. The poisonous cloud deals 1 poison damage/sec for 15 rounds (save vs. poison for half) and reduces the movement rate of enemies by 75% for 3 rounds (no save). If a living target creature is exposed to the toxins, it must make a saving throw vs. death to avoid falling unconscious. The duration of this state depends on the saving throw penalties (3 rounds if the victim fails the save at 0, 2 rounds if at -2 and one round if at -4). In addition to these effects, the toxins drain 3 points of Constitution from any opponents who fail to save vs. breath at -4.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bounty Hunter.

    +

    Shadow Form

    This ability temporarily transposes some of the user's tissue with shadow-material, making the subject partially incorporeal. For the next 5 rounds, all physical attacks directed against the Shadowdancer only deal 50% of their normal damage. During this time, the Shadowdancer is also under the effects of Improved Invisibility and cannot be directly targeted by spells.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Shadowdancer.

    +

    Shadow Maze

    This ability opens a temporary gateway to a small pocket within the Plane of Shadow. All enemies within 7 feet of the Shadowdancer must make a Save vs. Spell at a -4 penalty or become trapped inside a shadowy labyrinth as per the Maze spell.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Shadowdancer.

    +

    Shadow Twin

    This ability creates an almost exact duplicate of the Shadowdancer for 2 turns. The duplicate is created at 60% of the level at which the Shadowdancer is currently on. It has all the abilities that the Shadowdancer would have at that level. It also has 60% of the Hit Points of the Shadowdancer. The duplicate is fully under the control of the Shadowdancer.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Shadowdancer.

    +

    Slippery Mind

    This rogue can occasionally manage to wriggle free from magical effects that would otherwise control or compel him/her. The first time he/she fails a saving throw against charm, domination, or similar magic, he/she is nonetheless unaffected. This ability can function at most once per hour.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard or high level Thief.

    +

    Tracking

    With an intimate knowledge of his/her surroundings and the creatures that live within them, the character can use the Tracking ability to give him/herself a general idea of what creatures are in an area and which direction they are. Red arrows at the edge of the screen will point in the general direction of the creatures in the area.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bounty Hunter or high level Ranger.

    +

    Use Any Item

    Rogues take pride in their ability to adapt and make clever use of whatever is at hand. This ability is an extension of that basic skill. Once learned, the effect is permanent. The ability allows the rogue to use any item, even items that are typically restricted to one class. This allows the rogue to use everything from wands and scrolls to mighty weapons that none but a warrior could otherwise use.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Use Wands.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Bard or high level Thief.

    +

    Use Scrolls

    Thieves often pick up some of the rudiments of arcane magic over their careers. This passive ability permits the thief to use wizard scrolls.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Thief.

    +

    Use Wands

    Some experienced thieves make a careful study of magical items, learning in due course how to use wands as well as scrolls. This passive ability permits the thief to use any wand usually restricted to wizards and bards.
    +
    +Prerequisite: Use Scrolls.

    +

    Whirlwind Attack

    This ability allows the warrior to unleash a flurry of super-fast blows. The ability sets one's number of attacks per round to 10, but one's THAC0 and damage suffer a 4 point penalty. The Whirlwind Attack lasts for one round.
    +
    +Requirements: high level Fighter, high level Paladin, high level Ranger, or high level Swashbuckler.

    +Saving Throw: None

    +Area of Effect: 40' radius
    +Saving Throw: Neg.

Every creature takes 1d10 points of Poison and 1d10 points of Acid damage each round it is exposed to the deadly vapors. If someone fails a saving throw vs. poison at -2, they become poisoned. Another failed save vs. poison results in disease, and the victim will lose one point of Constitution for 5 rounds. This spell banishes and destroys all summoned creatures. Besides its destructive powers, Nature's Wrath has a more vicious characteristic: it attempts to stop creatures from escaping its area or at least slow them. Any target must save vs. spells at -4, or becomes entangled for a short time. Entangled creatures can still attack.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Plant sphere.

Undead that are hit by the sunburst are automatically destroyed unless they are at least 13th level; those of 13th level or higher take 20d6 damage, and must save vs. Spell at a -4 penalty or be destroyed.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Sun sphere.

    +

    Thunderstorm (Invocation)

    Sphere: Air
    +Range: 270 ft.
    +Duration: Instant
    +Casting Time: 8
    +Area of Effect: 40-ft. radius
    +Saving Throw: 1/2
    +
    +Casting this spell calls down a tremendous storm, targeted specifically at the caster's enemies. Each of them is struck by a lightning bolt that inflicts 16d8 points of electrical damage, with a saving throw for half damage. Creatures failing their saving throw are in addition deafened for three rounds. The storm is nonmagical despite its divinely-guided accuracy, and bypasses magic resistance.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Air sphere.

    +

    Tranquility (Enchantment)

    Sphere: Fey
    +Range: Self
    +Duration: 1 turn
    +Casting Time: 1 round
    +Area of Effect: 40' radius
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell channels the power of friendly fey to create an aura of healing energy around the caster that moves with him/her. Every friendly creature in its area of effect is healed 3d8 +10 Hit Points/round, and will be cleansed of all poison and disease effects.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Fey sphere.

    +

    Unholy Aura (Abjuration)

    Sphere: Evil
    +Range: 0
    +Duration: 2 turns
    +Casting Time: 3
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +A profane light surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells, and sickening good creatures when they strike the subjects. This abjuration has four effects:
    +
    +First, the warded creatures gain a +2 bonus to AC and a +2 bonus to all saves.
    +Second, the warded creatures gains 25% magic resistance, unless their magic resistance is already higher.
    +Third, the abjuration protects the creatures against charm and domination spells.
    +Fourth, any creature of good alignment who strikes those protected by the Unholy Aura must make a Save vs. Spells or be weakened for 4 rounds, taking a -2 penalty to all rolls.
    +
    +The Unholy Aura cannot be removed by Dispel or Remove Magic, though it can be penetrated by spells such as Breach.
    +
    +Prerequisite: may not be Good.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Evil sphere.

    +

    Volcano (Alteration)

    Sphere: Earth/Fire
    +Range: 120 yds.
    +Duration: 4 rounds
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: 50' radius
    +Saving Throw: Special
    +
    +By the means of this powerful spell the caster lets loose the most devastating powers of Nature to wipe his/her enemies from the face of Faerun once and for all. Mighty tremors shake the ground and massive eruptions of fire ignite the sky as a young volcano creates a rift in the earth raining fire on everything in a 50' radius area.
    +
    +There are three tremors that are caused by the earthquake. The first tremor causes all creatures affected to suffer 6d6 points of damage (save vs. spell at a -6 penalty for half damage). Those who fail their saving throws fall to the ground for four rounds. The second tremor is less severe; causing 4d6 points of damage (save for half at a -2 penalty). The final tremor causes 2d6 damage (save for half).
    +
    +In addition to the crushing effects, the deadly heat and chunks of boiling lava will damage every creature in the area of effect for 3d6 fire damage/round.
    +
    +This spell will affect both enemies and friends of the caster, so care must be taken in its use.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Earth sphere or able to cast 7th level spells from the Fire sphere.

    +

    Water Elemental Swarm (Conjuration/Summoning)

    Sphere: Water
    +Range: 30 ft.
    +Duration: 1 turn
    +Casting Time: 9
    +Area of Effect: Special
    +Saving Throw: None
    +
    +This spell opens a portal to the Elemental Plane of Water and calls forth water elementals to serve the caster. Upon casting the spell, two 12-HD elementals immediately appear. One round later, a 16-HD elemental appears. One round later still, a 24-HD elemental appears. The elementals serve the caster faithfully, and disappear after 2 turns if they are not destroyed before then.
    +
    +Requirements: able to cast 7th level spells from the Water sphere or high level Water Elementalist.

    Talents of Faerun: Priest Spells by Sphere

    +
    +
    +
    + +
    + +

    These are the spheres of priestly magic used in Talents of Faerun. They are loosely based on AD&D 2nd Edition categories but have been significantly streamlined for better balance in the BG/IWD context.

    +

    The spheres used by core classes are: +

      +
    • Blackguards: All, Combat, Divine, Evil, Necromantic, Protection
      • +
    • Clerics: All, Charm, Combat, Divination, Divine, Evil, Good, Healing, Necromantic, Protection, Summoning, Wards
      • +
    • Druids: All, Air, Animal, Divination, Earth, Fey, Fire, Healing, Moon, Plant, Protection, Sun, Water
      • +
    • Paladins: All, Combat, Divine, Good, Healing, Protection
      • +
    • Rangers: All, Animal, Plant, Healing
      • +
    • Shamans: All, Air, Animal, Divination, Earth, Fire, Healing, Moon, Plant, Protection, Sun, Wards, Water
      • +
    +This does not actually change the available spells for clerics and druids; it slightly tweaks the other classes.

    +

    Speciality priests added or edited by ToF always get access to All, Divine, and Protection; virtually all also get Healing. Hopefully these spheres contain all the 'must-have' cleric spells, so that no speciality priest is unusable. Typically, one or two other cleric spheres are lost and replaced by druid spheres and/or wizard spells.

    +

    Spells added by other mods are categorised automatically. Those usable by clerics and druids are added to All. Those usable by clerics but not druids are added to Divine. Those usable by druids but not clerics are added to a new sphere, Nature, which is empty if you install ToF on an unmodded game; druids, rangers and shamans can use spells from the Nature sphere.

    +

    Spheres may be customized by editing the files in dw_talents/shared/sphere using a text editor.

    + + +

    Human

    +
    +

    Humans are the predominant race in Faerûn, and rule most of the significant empires and kingdoms in the Realms. Compared to most of the nonhuman races, who tend to get along with others of their own race reasonably well, the humans of Faerûn are divided into innumerable competing nations, states, sects, religions, bandit kingdoms, and tribes. Humans argue about anything, fight about most things they argue about, and hold dear among their many deities quite a few who actively encourage that type of behavior.

    +

    Elf

    +
    +

    Elves tend to be shorter and slimmer than humans. Their features are finely chiseled and delicate, and they speak in melodic tones. Elves are looked upon as being frivolous and aloof. They concern themselves with natural beauty, dancing, frolicking, and other similar pursuits. Their humor is clever, as are their songs and poetry. There are seven racial divisions of elves within the realms: sun elves, moon elves, wood elves, wild elves, sea elves, dark elves (drow), and the rarely-seen winged elves (avariel).

    Moon Elves

    Moon elves tend to be slimmer than humans. Also called solver elves, they have fair skin (sometimes tinged with blue) and hair of silver-white, black, or blue. (Humanlike colors are rare, but possible.) Their eyes are blue or green, with gold flecks. Moon elves are the most common elves in Faerûn, and the elven species most tolerant of humans (most half-elves are descended from moon elves). Many of them have a deep-seated hatred for their subterranean cousins, the drow elves.

    • 90% resistance against charm and sleep magics

      • +
    • Open Locks -5, Pick Pockets +5, Move Silently +5, Hide In Shadows +10
      • +

    +

    Sun Elves

    Sun elves are less common across Faerûn than moon elves, because most live on Evermeet, where nonelves are not allowed. Also called gold elves, they have bronze skin, golden blond, copper, or black hair, and green or gold eyes. They are seen as the most civilized and haughty elves, preferring to remain separate from nonelven races.

      • +

    +

    Wild Elves

    The very rare wild elves are rarely seen by others, because they live in the heart of thick forests and they have incredible skill at keeping hidden. Also called green elves, their skin tends to be dark brown, and their hair ranges from black to light brown, lightening to silvery white with age.

    Wood Elves

    Wood elves are reclusive, but less so than the almost feral wild elves. Also called copper elves, they have coppery skin tinged with green, and brown, green, or hazel eyes. Their hair is usually brown or black, with blond and coppery-red occasionally found. Wood elves tend to be hardier than other elves, more solid and grounded than their cousins. This attitude is reflected in their culture and traditions: wood elves tend more towards physical pursuits than do other elves, and they view ancient elven history with a more critical eye. Wood elves seek a quiet harmony with the wider world.

    Drow Elves

    The drow are descended from the elves who retreated into the Underdark after the ancient Crown Wars. They are infamous for their cruelty, evil, and drive to dominate. Also called dark elves, the drow have skin that resembles charcoal or obsidian, as well as stark white or pale yellow hair. They commonly have very pale eyes in shades of lilac, silver, pink, and blue. They also tend to be smaller and thinner than most elves. It is very rare for drow to associate with humans and other surface races; those who do are feared and reviled by surfacers even as they are condemned as traitors by the drow themselves.

    Half-Elf

    +
    +

    Half-elves are a mix of human and elven blood. They are handsome folk, with good features from each of their parent races. A half-elf has the curiosity, inventiveness, and ambition of their human ancestors and the refined senses, love of nature, and artistic tastes of their elven ancestors.

    Dwarf

    +
    +

    Dwarves are short and stocky, easily identifiable by their size and shape. They ruled vast kingdoms beneath hill and mountain long before humans wandered into Faerûn. The two main dwarven subraces are the shield dwarves of northern Faerûn and the gold dwarves of the far south. The gray dwarves, or duergar, are an Underdark race less common than their surface kindred; they are generally evil, though a few exiles defy this rule.

    Shield Dwarves

    Shield dwarves are short stocky fellows, easily identifiable by their size and shape. They have ruddy cheeks, dark eyes, and dark hair. Shield dwarves tend to be dour and taciturn. In large part, this demeanor has developed due to the slow erosion of shield dwarf kingdoms over the centuries. They are given to hard work, and care little for most humor. They typically enjoy beer, ale, and mead, but most of all, they love gold.

    Gold Dwarves

    Unlike the shield dwarves, the gold dwarves maintained their great kingdom in the Great Rift and did not decline in terrible wars against evil humanoids. While they practiced some magic, they never acquired the hubris that caused the downfall of some human nations. Confident and secure in their remote home, the gold dwarves gained a reputation for haughtiness and pride.

    Gray Dwarves

    Also known as duergar, the gray dwarves of the Forgotten Realms live even deeper underground than their shield dwarf and gold dwarf cousins. The duergar share little in common with other dwarves and practice slavery in their monstrous subterranean cities. Often motivated by greed and a thirst for power, gray dwarves are known throughout the Realms as devious, efficient warriors. Duergar almost always have gray hair and skin.

    Halfling

    +
    +

    Halflings stand about three feet tall, with florid skin and dark hair and eyes. Three major subraces of halfling dwell in Faerûn: the lightfoot halflings, the rare ghostwise halflings, and the strongheart halflings of Luiren in the south. Like the rock gnomes, many halflings live among the Big Folk in the human lands. They are resourceful and quick, perfectly at home among the sprawling human lands or living apart in their own settled communities. The halflings’ name for their race is the hin, although most accept “halfling” with a shrug and a smile.

    Lightfoot Halflings

    Unlike the more segregated strongheart halflings, the lightfoots of the Forgotten Realms are a common sight in human, elven, and dwarven lands. Lightfoot halflings are known for their incredible luck and their love of travel. They tend to be more gregarious than even their strongheart kin.

    +

    Strongheart Halflings

    While the lightfoot halflings value the experience of travel and the sight of new lands and peoples, the strongheart halflings are a more organized, orderly, and industrious race. Strongheart halflings often surprise those more familiar with their wandering lightfoot cousins with their confident and readily competitive nature.

    Ghostwise Halflings

    Ghostwise halflings are the feral, reclusive cousins of lightfoot and strongheart halflings. They are found most often in the southern forests of the Realms living in small communities. Ghostwise halflings are rarely seen in large cities, but occasionally set out to explore the world for reasons known only to them. Visitors to ghostwise settlements often report that the halflings have kinship so tight with their fellows that they can communicate without speaking.

    Gnome

    +
    +

    Kin to dwarves, gnomes are noticeably smaller than their distant cousins. Gnomes, as they proudly maintain, are also less rotund than dwarves. Most have dark tan or brown skin, white hair, and rather large noses. Gnomes have lively and sly senses of humor, especially for practical jokes. They have a love for nature that is only matched by their love for gems and jewelry. There are two racial divisions of gnomes within the realms: rock gnomes and deep gnomes (svirfneblin).

    Rock Gnomes

    Rock gnomes are the most common type of gnomes in Faerûn, and are usually just called gnomes, since they are the only sort that surface dwellers ever see. The rock gnomes of Faerûn are inquisitive, irrepressible, and at times insincere. Equipped by nature with keen curiosity and a knack for mechanical workings, gnomes excel at intricate crafts such as gemcutting, toymaking, and clockwork engineering.

      • +

    +

    Deep Gnomes

    Also known as svirfneblin, the deep gnomes of the Realms are a secretive, mysterious race. Found in the deepest caverns of the Underdark, the svirfneblin live in constant fear of slavery or destruction at the hands or dark elves, mind flayers, and duergar. Deep gnomes are legendary for their ability to handle stone and gems. They have brown or gray skin and gray or white hair.

    Half-Orc

    +
    +

    Half-orcs are born from the union of human and orc parents. They are as tall as humans, but a little heavier due to their muscular builds. Their greenish pigmentation, sloping forehead, jutting jaw, prominent teeth, and coarse body hair make their lineage plain for all to see. Half-orcs are known for their great strength.

    Planetouched

    +
    +

    Faerûn is home to many native peoples and has many magic portals that lead to distant parts of the world as well as to other worlds. Through these portals come visitors from other planes, including outsiders of various sorts, some of whom dally or settle in Faerûn and have children with local humans. Eventually their extraplanar heritage gets diluted over several generations, resulting in a person with a slight bloodline of celestial, infernal, or elemental origin. These beings, known as the planetouched, have unusual abilities based on the nature of their distant ancestors, but in most ways appear completely human. The planetouched prefer to blend in with human society and rarely form communities of their own.

    + +

    The most common sorts of planetouched are aasimar (descended from celestials), tieflings (descended from demons or devils), and genasi (descended from elemental-related outsiders, such as genies).

    Aasimar

    Carrying the blood of a celestial, an aasimar is usually good-aligned and fights against evil in the world. Some have a minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as silver hair, golden eyes, or an unnaturally intense stare. Those descended from a celestial minion of a Faerûnian deity often carry a birthmark in the shape of the deity’s holy symbol or some other mark significant to that faith.

      • +
    • Constitution -1, Wisdom +1, Charisma +1
      • +

    +

    Tieflings

    Because they are descended from evil outsiders, those who know of their ancestry immediately consider most tieflings evil and untrustworthy. Not all tieflings are evil or untrustworthy, but enough are that the prejudice tends to cling. Some tieflings have a minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as pointed teeth, red eyes, small horns, the odor of brimstone, cloven feet, or just an unnatural aura of wrongness. Those descended from an infernal minion of a Faerûnian deity often carry a birthmark of the deity’s holy symbol or another trait related to that evil faith.

    Air Genasi

    Air genasi see themselves as the inheritors of the sky, the wind, and the very air of the world. They are most often neutral. They appear mostly human, with one or two unusual traits reflecting their quasi-elemental nature, such as a light blue color to their skin or hair, a slight breeze in their presence at all times, or flesh that is cool to the touch. They care little for their appearance and tend to have wind-tossed hair and much-mended clothes. Their emotions vary quickly between calm reserve and great intensity.

    Earth Genasi

    Earth genasi are slow to act, ponderous in thought, and set in their ways. They are most often neutral. They appear mostly human, with one or two unusual traits reflecting their quasi-elemental nature, such as earthlike skin, rough facial features, or eyes like black pits. They favor neutral colors and simple clothing, and while some appear to inadvertently collect dirt on their clothes, others keep a neat and polished appearance.

    Fire Genasi

    Fire genasi are hot-blooded and quick to anger, proud and unafraid to take action. They are most often neutral. They appear mostly human, with one or two unusual traits reflecting their quasi-elemental nature, such as skin the color of burnt coal, red hair that waves like flames, or eyes that glow when the genasi is angry. They prefer to dress simply and elegantly, although their fashions can be more flamboyant than the most outrageous trend.

    Water Genasi

    Water genasi are patient and slow to change, preferring to wear away opposition slowly, but are capable of great violence in extreme situations. They are most often neutral. All have one or more traits that reflect their quasi-elemental nature, such as lightly scaled skin, clammy flesh, blue-green skin or hair, or hair that waves as if underwater. They dress sparsely, preferring clothing that won’t bind when in the water and ripples like waves when dry.

    Rebalanced and Revised Kits

    +
    +
    +
    + +
    + +

    This documents the Tales of Faerun version of the original-game kits (excluding specialist mages and speciality priests). Most of the changes are from the 'Rebalanced and Revised Kits' component, but the Holy Smite powers of the undead hunter and cavalier are from 'Revised Smite Evil' and the changes to avenger shapeshifting are from 'Revised Druid Shapeshifting'.

    Avenger

    +

      • + +
    +

    + +
    +

    Shapeshifter

    +
    +This Druid is not called Shapeshifter because he/she has access to a great variety of forms, but rather because of his/her complete dedication to a single alternate form. This Druid has willingly allowed him/herself to become infected with lycanthropy, but due to intense study and training he/she has the ability to control his/her affliction. The creature he/she becomes is that of the werewolf, the most famous of the lycanthrope shape changers. + +
