High Level Class Abilities, do you miss out?

Ronn_Bman · 07-15-2001, 06:33 PM

My final save from SoA has my characters XP maxed out at 2.95 million.

Looking at the XP Charts this means my monk is 23rd level. He should have started getting Class Abilities at 20th level, but didn't, of course, because I didn't have ToB then. Does he just miss out on those 4 Abilities? Seems kind of screwed up.

Now, I know there are only 8 class abilities for him to choose from, and since he can go up to 40th level, I also know he'll eventually get them all and run out of things to choose from, but it's kind of screwed up he will miss out on his first 4.

Checking the other XP charts this also happens to Clerics causing them to miss 2 Class Abilities. No other classes start getting Class Abilities at a level that requires less than 2.95 million XP.

MY MEN OF THE CLOTH ARE BEING ROBBED!

Oh well....anyone else have thoughts on this?

Yes, but aren't they missing out on QUANTITY? - Just use Shadowkeeper to fill in the missing extras.

Religion has a nasty habit of screwing over the devout.

I've heard ShadowKeeper doesn't work on ToB savegames, does it?

the newest version of ShadowKeeper does work on ToB...

I just downloaded the newest "keeper", but I don't see a section for Class Abilities?

guys, its triggered by EXPERIENCE AMOUNT! not levels. EX: Mages get them at lvl 18, Fighters at lvl 20, Palys at lvl 18, and Druids at lvl 15. thats 3M exp for all those, but thieves/bards hafta wait til 3.08M xp to get their abilities (boo hoo). so as you can see, its the next level after you surpass the cap for SoA and proceed into the ToB cap.

SS is prob. correct - havn't checked it for myself. However, it isn't under Class abilities (I believe its innate abilities). Go through all the tabs on the top and look for the one that has your Slayer ability, there you should find it.

Monks and clerics begin to get these abilities at 2.7 million XP. That means monks and clerics level up twice before the Xcap and therefore miss choosing two class abilities. They will still get these as there are less abilities than levels between the 2.9 and 8.0 million. But you still miss choosing the first two times.
