No Mage pool abilities for my F/M/T?

Maharlika · Post by **Maharlika** » Fri Aug 31, 2001 8:04 pm

I have removed the xp cap, played a party of 4 (for greater share in xp) as well as spawned some monsters for more work outs and xp's. These explain why my F/M/T gets to cast 9th level spells.

Query: Why do I only get the high level special abilities coming from the fighter and thief pools? What happened to the mage pool?

Ran out of graphic space in the interface?

It's more than likely you need to download a level rules set, though I don't know if one has been developed to handle the high-level ability pools of ToB, yet. Try checking [url="http://www.teambg.com/"]here[/url].

I've looked through the game's data, there is no abilities for the Fighter/Mage/Thief, the game uses the Fighter/Thief high level abilities set, so you'll only get the Fighter and Thief abilities. I am currently trying to change this so that you can get the Mage's abilities as well, I'll let you know if it's successful and will send you the files needed.

Edit - it appears the the same thing happens for the Fighter/Mage/Cleric combination; you only get the Fighter and Cleric abilities.

Yep it works, unfortunately there is a limitation to the engine. You can only have 24 high level abilities, if you combine Fighter, Mage and Thief abilities you have a total of 29. So you'll have to miss out on 5 of these abilities - they can be any combination of 5, not just from one class. Input needed on which of the five abilities you would like to loose in order to get the Mage's abilities for your F/M/T.

This also goes for the Fighter/Mage/Cleric as well, total is also 29, so 5 is also needed to be left out. Just tell me which abilities and I'll make the changes and send you the new files. Thanks

Um, Chaos Shield and Improved Chaos Shield is not part of the Mage's high level abilities, those are for Wild Mages only.
