High Level Class Abilities - Final Word

[Ronn_Bman]

The original XP Cap in SoA is 2.95 million, and the new cap with ToB is 8 million. The class abilites should only start after passing 2.95 million right?

Wrong! And this has nothing to do with hacking the original game, because I didn't. Check the reseach below...

This only affects Monks and Clerics. They begin to get class abilites (according to the ToB tables in the manual) at 2.7 million/20th level. They get their second at 2.925 million/21st level. This means those characters who maxed out finishing SoA missed on two new innate abilities. Sure they can get them later, but if you've already earned them..........

I did a little test, I started a new game with a monk. I quickly saved, and then used the new shadowkeeper to edit him to 2699999. After reloading, I had Imoen pick a lock, and he leveled up. He got to choose a new ability at 2.7 million/20th level just like the manual says. I saved again, hacked him to 2.924.999 and reloaded. This time I had him kill something, he leveled up to 21st and was able to choose a second ability while still under the original XP cap.

Now I thought I was onto something, I tried the same thing with a new cleric....it didn't work, even though according to the manual (and my original experiment) it should have.

Again, my original game that made me think of this was NOT hacked.

I think the bottom line is, Clerics and monks can only get 8 or so High Class Abilities, and since you can go up to 40th level, BIOWARE figured you would have 19 more chances to get those 8 abilities.

Final,Final Word

As I mention above the ToB tables in the manual(p.27) list clerics and monks getting High Level Class Abilities Prior to the original, 2.95 million XP cap, but further research into the manual(p.9) lists both clerics and monks getting their's at 22nd Level.

****Since I'm the only one who cares about this, I promise not to post any more unless asked...lol****
