New mod in the works, needs input

[Cerek the Barbaric]

Just a quick thought regarding Julia's "Neutral Item". Perhaps you could plant a component on her that would provide an upgrade for the Equalizer sword - and then maybe characters would actually KEEP the sword instead of selling it or the components.

Maybe the upgrade could make it +4 (with regards to hit) and add immunity to mental domination and fear.

Just curious, do you know what class Julia is, yet?

Initial post says fighter...

I do think it would be interesting to create a dualclassed character with amnesia.. Is it possible to trigger dialogue based on experience?

Is it possible to trigger dialogue based on experience?

Yes it is possible.

i wondered about that - something like cure the amnesia and bump the intelligence up to 17 to allow a mage dual

I dunno, that's a pretty huge jump in intelligence. I'd say the dialogue after theat point would become very different, if it occurred. Sorry, didnt notice the class in the original post. [img]redface.gif[/img]

For special item why not bracers. Fighters wore bracers all the time with anything but fullplate. I wouldn't make it an AC bonus though. I'd make it more along the lines of an additional 1/2 or full attack. Just think about it, there aren't a whole lot of bracers/gloves you'd give a fighter in the game so why not. It's not like a piece of jewelry that was a family heirloom and is non-removable, which is sometimes annoying. Or if you wanna add some real flavor you could throw in a familiar type chreature. I was thinking of an imp that thinks it's her squire. It could have some ridiculous dialogue like Lilarcor, and just stay in a little pouch until you let him out. And having them constantly argue could be a way to uncover some background. Just a though, and a nice alternative to the traditional family heirloom type items.

Combos including but not limited to fighters, thieves, and mages come to mind. A fighter, hit over the head in a bar room brawl forgets everything and learns to live by picking pockets...
Or I can dream of the dual classed thief--> sorceress. I know it's impossible to do, but can't you see it? An alchemy experiment gone wrong, a magical trap triggers incorrectly, and the surge awakens latent magical power but wipes her mind clean...

> already dualled

i do like that idea a lot from a role playing point of view - i wonder if there's a way of hiding the inactive class portion of the dual until it becomes active

imagine if you somehow installed the NPC without knowing and recruited her as a first level mage and didn't know that she had 13 levels of kensai buried under there

PC: "I bought these bracers of defence - they should help with your armour clasee"
NPC: "I'm not sure . . . "
PC: "Go on, try them for me"
NPC: "I said NO!" (snatches bracers and smacks PC round the head with them before walking off)
PC: (to Minsc) "She's surprisingly strong for a mage"

The Familiar item sounds really cool (especially if it could be tricked into revealing bits of Julia's past, against its will), but I don't think it really sounds right for Julia's character. As for what item(s) I would suggest, I need to mull on that.

The prospect of recruiting an NPC wha was still in mid-Dual is one I've liked for a while. One of my mod ideas is Gordon Tetrick, a LN Fighter->Necromancer, who has rededicated himself to the study of his family calling and has therefore sworn not to touch his armor or heirloom sword until he can cast Animate Dead. (Watch the sparks fly between him and Valygar, and just wait till he finds out who the PC's father was!)
