Version History
----------------------------------------------
v 0.75 - Apr 16, 2008
- Added 10 Dragon Breath variant spells.

v 0.45 - Jan 17, 2008
- Worked on Hellfire Warlock and Incanatrix PRCs. Hellfire Incantation not being given to HW, but you can
take it as a regular incantation. Constitution damage not working properly yet. Incnatrix is metamagic
master, made class similar to Arcane Scholar but more of an abjurer.

Right click on target and select Counterspell to activate.

Vibration, Zajimarn's Ice Claw Prison, Zajimarn's Icy Field of Razors, Zajimarn's Avalanche,

in or given feat by PW DMs. Chosen of Mystra (5050), Magister (5051), Netherese Arcanist (5052), Elven High Mage
(5053).
- Unlocked existing spells that Obsidian removed for some reason: Ironguts, Stone Bones, Iron Bones, Ball
Lightning, Mestil's Acid Sheath, Black Blade of Disaster, Time Stop, Ice Dagger, Negative Energy Ray and

Castigation and Greenfire. Also made Icelance usable by druids.
v 0.25 - Jan 5, 2008
- Added Arcane Devotee PRC.
- Fixed Archmage spellcasting levels. Make sure to take proper feat at first level.

feat working.

Icelance, Thunderlance, Tiramael's Energy Spheres, Flensing, Snilloc's Snowball, Viscid Glob, Force Orb,
Beltyn's Burning Blood
- A few other behind the scenes tweaks that should make future development easier.
v 0.15 - Dec 30, 2007
- Loremaster in as final 'real' version. 2 default feats (dodge and extra lvl 1 slot) still used. Has proper
spellcaster levels.
- Archmage has proper spellcaster levels and spell-like ability feats available. Other feats selectable for now
just include normal wizard feats but you get one at every level.
- Added 7 new spells: Acid Storm, Acid Orb, Lesser Acid Orb, Mestil's Acid Ball, Shriveling, Darkbolt, Damning
Darkness. (Last three are Evil type spells, perfect for evil bosses.)

- Loremaster
- Archmage
- Hellfire Warlock
- Disciple of Mephistopheles
- Netherese Arcanist

If I interested only in the archmage pretige class. Can I install just that class in my NWN2? BTW, great work ;) I love arcane spellcasting charaters

Vakrinon, I am not graphically inclined. If anyone wants to donate custom icons, I will gladly give you credit for them. Thanks, j/k _________________________ - "I cast magic missle... into the darkness!!" - Mage Tome Link Rogue Dao Link

Hello Xakarath, I am currently testing it with SoZ. :) Hope to do a mini SoZ compatible update after Christmas (after I'm done playing SoZ) j/k _________________________ - "I cast magic missle... into the darkness!!" - Mage Tome Link Rogue Dao Link

Well, It also disables my Swashbuckler and Doomguide Classes altogether, obviously it's not updated for SoZ, I'll definitely try to use it till it gets an update
Posted by Xakarath at 2008-12-1712:08:33
Is it possible to update this for SoZ? I love what you have done, but my gray-orc and Yuan-ti now have no dialog tips...

I was just curious is this pack still being updated?
Posted by Vakrinon at 2008-11-0216:41:36
Awesome. Would love to see custom icons and VFX for these new spells.

Correction to previous post, the archmage problem was fixed by reaplying the hakpak. the reserved spell casting feats mentioned earlier are still acting bugged
Posted by eventhorizon525 at on10/19/08
Overall, awesome hakpak. The content was great, descriptions for all the spells, and some nice added PrCs. with this being said, a few issues i have noticed 1. I was able to chose archmage at lvl 1, without the required abilities. Also at whatever lvl i took it, i did not gain any spell casting lvls (did not have choice to get feat you mentioned) or any cool archmages powers. 2: Clap of thunder (reserve spellcasting feat) would not reconize any of the spells i prepared that should have let me use it. 3: Winter's Blast and Storm Bolt activate cursor (after clicking to use the move) could not be targeted onto anything. sorry if i mispelled anything, and please mention any ideas of why these things are messing up, i would love to be able to play the archmage :)

Hello aaron067, Sure if you have ideas for the epic spellcasting system, please let me know. It is a major job, and I look forward to any assistance - especially if you are aware of the code in the original PrC. j/k _________________________ - "I cast magic missle... into the darkness!!" - Mage Tome Link Rogue Dao Link
