Question about valen's backstab multiplier.

Black Baron · 04-07-2004, 09:49 AM

It is x6 and not x5. She is an elder vampire and has roughly 2 mln exp.
I have backstab x5. I do not have item upgrade installed, and she uses her claws anyway.

Why? Not that i complain, but still starnge.

Off topic-were is the dialogue file located?
thanks in advance.

Do you mean is is strange for her to have a backstab multiplies by 5x? Its not. Only Assassins can get higher. Up to 7x.

In the BG2 folder it's called dialog.tlk. If you want to view and/or do changes, you need a third party program, like Near Infinity.

You can also open it using Notepad, though it will be in a jumbled mess.

I have noticed this as well, but with Valygar. At one point in ToB, I noticed that his Backstab multiplier was x4, when Stalkers cannot naturally exceed x3. I know that certain mod items increase the multiplier, so I stripped him of all his gear except an unenchanted Katana, and it was still x4. I can only surmise that Weimer has slipped another undocumented "improvement" into one of his Ease-of-Use components.

This is also already in the game, I've played it without mods, and my Stalker had one modifier more than it said on the description. I actually think that a GOOD thing, since triple modifier is nothing to write home about, and you won't gain the x4 modifier until lvl high...

Hehe, my multiplier is at 8x with a certain 4+ Shortsword. It owns! Oh, and i noticed that Valygar is a stalker, and they gain a few spells at lvl 12. But he does not. Bug? Or his repulsivment against magic?

Could be a bug, could be you're just not looking in the right place. All SoA-level Rangers gain the first 3 levels of Druid spells, and even though the special spells that Stalkers get are Wizard spells, they still appear on the Priest Scroll.

my Valygar gains priest spells.

I also had Valygar without any spells when I got him even though he was supposed to have at his level. When he levelled up he got his spells correctly...
