Ashes of Embers is a collection of features originally intended as
components of the Embers of Empires mod. Due to time constraints EoE
has been put on hold, but the completed features have been released as
a stand-alone package for BGII. It includes:
- Universal weapons for all classes
It doesn't make much sense that a cleric can't use a sword in
combat, and a mage with 17 strength couldn't wield a two-handed
sword.
Strength and Dexterity requirements have been modified for all
weapons.
Two added weapons; Katars and Bolas, using the dagger and sling
proficiencies.
Spears can now be thrown.
- 7 added kits
This includes six of the nine cleric kits for the deities of EoE,
and a fighter kit called the Pit Fighter.
NOTE: Armour restrictions for the clerics have not yet been
implemented.
- Human multi-classes
With this feature you can either dual-class your human character
as normal, or choose to be multi-classed via kit selection.
- Added Armour
Scale Mail, Banded Mail, and Field Plate have all been added.
You will find a merchant who sells them in Waukeen's Promenade,
near the Ore Merchant.
- Two tweaked spells
Both Ironskin and Stoneskin are extremely cheesy and piss me off.
They have been nerfed to have a far shorter duration.
- Wizard Slayer enhancement
Wizard Slayers will now have an 8% base MR, with a +4% Magic
Resistance bonus per level. A level 3 Wizard Slayer would have
16% MR, for example.
