Note: This mod contains only scripts of spells so the spell descriptions won't change.
Bugs: Ultravision effect doesn't work. Please comment if you expierence more.
Installing: Put into: ...MyDocuments/NeverwinterNights2/Override.
Compativity: Should work with all game versions.
Should be compative with most mods. In case that isn't:
Use numerised folders in overwrite folder to tell the game wich ones are more improtant to use.
T.ex: "01-BetterInvocations", "02-OtherPack" If want my mod to be dominate or wise versa if
you like t.ex: "Selea"s versions of are better. This will overwrite the conflicts.
Thanks to:
Atari, Obsidian etc. for the game and toolset. IGN for NW2 Vault.
Vordan for Hero Creator (it was pretty ideal testing environment).
Halmabad for many bug reports. And every one for Voting.
Future update's are unlikely, due chance of operating system and deletion of my currect games :-( . But i will try to make them with DevC++ if requested.
Yes but epic levers you have some feats(epic gate, eldrict master and epic fienlish resilence)
and Cha modifer increases lots of things t.ex my currect warlock with Cha of 24 and nympht cloak 8 and has
Dark ones own luck, leaps and bounds , flee the scene, word of chancing will result + 11 bonus to
STR (= 42)and 8 DEX (= 34) of devil and Armor class increase of 4 Dex + 4 Dodge + 5 base (to 50!).
And the devil is no weakling to start (with fire immunities and +5 regen and 28 sr).
Further combine this with Tumble skill, dark foresight, retributive invisibility, see Unseen and
multiclass it with 11 lv of monk(kown as the demon monk build) and gain 2 extra attack(s) and wisdom
modifer to AC, evasion... Perhaps now you understad why I am worried of over powering.

It`s not seems overpowering to me, considering at what levels it appears. On high levels warlock - the most defenceless class in game, so Dark Foresight and Retributive Invisibility - the basic and often one chance to survive (I talk more about PvP, of course). Its only my opinion, but I think he deserve some "little
overpowering" things :)
About the fey feats:
They should't stack becose the description says they won't stack with spells.
I'm even thinking to max the Dark foresight DR to 15 since it seems little
overpowering and after all it was orginally only 10 (and was very usefull
before the fey feats game with SOZ).
AAAAAAH!
Now get it i doesn't work in lower lever multiclassing. It should work now.

Forum code dont understand sing "less":(
About HW: in script you wrote "nWrlkLv 'less\equal' 18" when set 14 DR, but if take 3 levels HW its possible to take Dark Foresight on 13 level of warlock (13+3=16), then only 3/Cold Iron is accessible. I made a binding to feats, not levels, so it working well with HW and Fey feats. You may take my script, if you want.

It does work as writed on description:
it adds class DR to the DR to the dark foresight. And it what was the talk of hellfire warlock?
My script takes count only the warlock lever as should. About the fey feats:
I don't even think they should be added. It was stacking in the orginal relase becose
i was an IDIOT thinking that they would automaticly stack.
Updated to 1.4.2
I also reduced the duration of retributive invisibilty sice 2 min.
of presistant (warlock one is greater invisibilty even by default)
and recastable invisibility at lv 20 was some what ovepoweing.
It's seems so.
working on a new version which adds class DR to effect.

I checked Dark Foresight and noticed that it does not stacking with other reduction, unfortunately. Higher modifier of reduction is used. Whether probably to make something with it?
"Bugs: Ultravision effect doesn't work"
It only works with player1 version of darknesss.

I looked nw_s0_icursedes.nss in new 1.4 and noticed that you forgot to increase ability and attack penalty as it should be in the description. And what about Ultravision? It work?
After some testing it seems that you'ra right.
I had a little testing error with that (i mainly shot blasts to barrels in darkness xD).
So back to the drawning board with that. Any suggestions what/how to do with it?
Updated!
I didn't know that those were affected by the patch.
Posted by halmabad at 2009-07-23 17:17:22 Voted 9.00 on 07/23/09
I glad to help. Also I noticed that at least two invocations (Curse of Despair and Devour Magic)in you modification are earlier versions than in last actual patch (1.23). Maybe you can upgrade it?
After some testing with different versions of it, it seems that you were right.
Thought the overpowerng seems to come to picture mainly becose of the nymph cloacks.
Thanks for comment/vote.
About Dark ones own luck i'm thinking to modifying it to be natural AC bonus.
Olso Walk unseen isn't that usefull as it was in the first versions (since copy unsummons demons from The Dead Walk).
Posted by halmabad at 2009-07-23 06:35:18 Voted 9.00 on 07/23/09
Quite useful modification, since many warlock`s invocations are weak. Only Dark Ones Own Luck seems overpowering, I would suggest to reduce AC bonus to CHAMod/2.
