It was randomised and kind of bugged if the randomiser assigned it to Lavok. I've fixed the issue locally (https://github.com/critto-bg/ImprovedAnvil/commit/9c6508a66caa38c8bb334f48855272f85dbfa8ce), feel free to add it via the console meanwhile.

Sure. But it's not a big problem. I could make a short video if this is reported elsewhere as well?

Not to my knowledge. Video will work OK, i guess, but save game is better since I could go in and try to diagnose it on the spot. Otherwise I'd need to wait until I have a suitable save game available.

Critto, this sounds like a bug you fixed earlier in one of the development branches. I don’t remember the thread but similar behavior was reported before. Something with a potion call in one of the scripts and simplified economy.

Ah yes, indeed. There was such an issue, I've forgotten all about it. Applying this patch https://github.com/critto-bg/ImprovedAnvilT...8c0b3b8043c0ce0 and reinstalling simplified economy might help.

Question. I never finished my run with the swashbuckler because I got stuck with real life things. However, is it correct that when donning the enhanced armour of stamina, stealth is really permanently disabled even after taking it off?
I am not sure for the reasoning of it since a swashbuckler does not get backstab multipliers anyhow. I do like some stealth utility once in a while

Yes it is. Stealth is permanently disabled. It adds a permanent "disable button" line to characters effects. I don't know if you can disable the feature through console.

I think the reasoning behind is that then ordinary thieves with UAI can't use the armor.

Found a few more;

- Jaheira can gain proficiencies in "two weapon style" instead of "two handed weapons style"

- Dispel Magic isn't behaving like the description says: My 20th level Necro can dispel my 22nd level Auramaster & my 22th level Protector? For example if the Auramaster & protector cast "armor of faith" - spells and they will get dispelled if hit with Necros dispel magic (not 100% of the time). If protector's level is increased until 28th (or so), Necro's success rate drops to 20% (or so). This isn't supposed to happen, if I understood the description correctly.

Pretty sure this is a feature, not a bug. Avengers get two static points 2h, but no opportunity to grow it further.


The description is outdated. I've fixed it here https://github.com/critto-bg/ImprovedAnvil/...e21059e49aaf693, but the commit didn't make it into the last official release. Long story short, the opcode now always allow for critical success/failure despite the difference in levels. This is engine-level, not something added by the mod.

As for UAI, yes, many of those items had built-in limitations to prevent potential abuse. I removed some of those things at certain different points of the mod lifespan. Can't remember if I ever touched the swashbuckler armor. To be completely honest, I've had long-term plans to remove UAI altogether for some time now, it's impossible to balance and easy to abuse.

Ah, yes. That's correct.



Thanks! Makes perfect sense now.

Would have to agree with you. The K/T is especially easy to develop and a completely OP character. It doesn't make sense that a K/T is easily & by far the superior fighter to e.g. to a Paladin and it's not even particularly close.

Wanna use the Carsomyr? Take a paladin, with 5-6 APR (under IH) with Thac0 of -13 or a K/T with 10 APR and a Thac0 of -22. Should be an easy choice. Even missing out the warrior HLA's doesn't help the Paladin that much.

I think restricting access to single class thieves would work or getting rid of it altogether. A single class thief with use any item is not that terribly overpowered unless one tries really really hard...

I guess op code 319 for Hexxat and removing the restrictions would also work. The armour will not be accessible by self made characters though.

I can understand that balancing is a real challenge.

A dual wield club/scimitars Avenger is a lot of fun. 10 APR CS with 25 strength in mid Ch6 game.

Also achievable by a Berserker/Druid in Chapter 2/3 ! But the B/D sort of runs out juice by the end, which I'm hoping the Avenger won't do.

Found one more:

- Blackguard is supposed to be able to cast spells but the "cast spell" - button is permanently disabled. I couldn't find a way to enable it in the scripts (but I'm no experts at any of this).

This wasn't a bug, it's a feature. It works perfectly fine (it was disbaled because my test char wasn't of high enough level /didn't have any spells to cast). My bad.

- Pendant of recovered light (a few additional notes) doesn't protect against level drain and it's +2 saves vs wands & death are also missing.
- Nalia's enhanced ring isn't usable if she is converted into a F/M. The ring is undroppable & game actually gets stuck when trying to level up (as it says the character is equipped with an item that can't be used anymore + item can't be dropped).

You can grab the most patched version of it from this commit: https://github.com/critto-bg/ImprovedAnvil/...c101af9538053d9


I'll attached the hopefully fixed version. Try it out.
Try this one https://github.com/critto-bg/ImprovedAnvil/...4efc4fd37d3175f

Thanks a lot Critto! (yet again). I'm just pushing these here so that they are in one place. I can fix these locally to some extent so there's no need to anything for my games.

I'll try the githyaki patch in this run when I have with the Supreme Leader. Probably within the next few weeks.
