Adds the new feat "Eavesdrop" to the game, which allows a player to eavesdrop on other characters.
This is intended to work like the pickpocket skill just so that the player can witness "interesting" conversations between NPCs.
By default the Rogue class will have this feat available in their ring menu under Special Abilities > Rogue > Eavesdrop.
Note that this can also be bound to your quickbar for faster access.
Also the eavesdrop spell can be used by other, non-rogue classes to do eavesdropping.
Features:
* Adds an "eavesdropping" feat that allows to eavesdrop on NPCs similar to pickpocketing.
* Also adds the "eavesdropping" spell to the game so that it can be bound to and cast from an item.
* Adds this feat to the rogue class' default cls_feat_rog.2da so that they have it in their ring menu.
Prerequisites:
This hakpak requires NWN v1.69 with both expansions (SoU & HotU) installed.
Actually this requirement is rooting only in the 2da definition files, which were created from the corresponding game expansion files.
Installation:
Download the eavesdrop_<version>.zip and extract the contained files as follows:
* The hak file goes into your NWN installation's "hak" folder.
* The tlk file goes into your NWN installation's "tlk" folder.
Usage:
* Add the hak file to your module's hak list.
* Select the tlk file as your module's custom talk file.
If you are already using an own custom talk file you may easily add the contents of the eavesdrop_<version>.tlk to your own.
It contains only the Strings for the feat's name and description.
However, then you might have to reassign the StrRefs in the hak's 2DA files accordingly.
Wish List:
Intentionally this skill was supposed to appear in the main ring menu like pickpocket.
If you know how to do this, please let me know.

Special thanks to Zoshi for finding out how the various 2DAs work together so that this feature could be realized.
