Of Fighters And Bows.

Dundee Slaytern · 01-30-2002, 12:46 AM

When I leveled up and I try to put a 4th proficiency into Bows for my Fighter, I am not allowed to... why?

I can't remember where I read it, but IWD limits proficiencies in ranged weapons (bows, crossbows, and slings) to Mastery (3 *'s).

Damn... looks like I might as well use a Ranger to be my Archer then... ...

Dundee, have you tried examining or editing the weapprof.2da file? You might be able to raise the limit to 5 that way.

Nah, I don't really like fiddling around with game files, and besides... I really needed a reason to use a Ranger. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Wow I did not know that

Does anyone know if this is the same case for fighters in BG1&2?

Definately not in BG2 since one can obtain grandmastery with the bow, and AFAIK, the same applies in BG1 (although this isn't possible with a 'capped' game), so the mastery restriction only applies to IWD/HoW [img]smile.gif[/img]
