Nalia & Imoen Options

[Sikret]

Are you happy with Nalia's class (= A weaker duplicate of Imeon)? Or do you prefer her to be a sorceress? Of course, she says things about lockpicking in her dialogues, but perhaps they are not really too many or too important. Another alternative is to increase her level in thief class to make her a better thief for those who want to save a slot for a party member (though in this way she will become even more identical with Imoen).

Another option is to leave Nalia as she is and change Imoen to a Sorceress when you find her in Spellhold. The justification can be that through the rituals and experiments performed on her, amazing and radical changes have occurred in her mental status.

A last and moderate choice is to leave both of them as they are but just re-distribute Nalia's thieving skills to make her a better trap finder/disarmer. 10% of her pick pocket skill can be safely moved to her remove trap.

Any comments?

I would say tweak Nalia's thief points but otherwise leave her.

I wouldn't suggest removing her thieving abilities completely because I feel it fits her background and wouldn't want to be forced to take Yoshimo or Jan as a thief if I didn't play one myself.

Also it's clear from what she says that Nalia has learnt magic - it's not something she was born with - so personally I wouldn't make her into a sorceress.


I wouldn't object to Imoen becoming a sorceress. In fact I think that's a good idea and it can be justified far more easily than for Nalia.

Btw, would you mention Imoen's transformation (if you decide to implement it) in a readme? Could be a bit harsh if you didn't know and played with Yoshimo up til the asylum counting on getting Imoen back as a thief...

This is good point. Does she say something in her dialogues in this respect?

In general, I agree that Nalia's dialogues make it more difficult to change her class to a sorceress (compared to Imoen) considering things she says about picking locks to sneak out of the keep and other things.

I think so too, though we need more votes to make a final decision.

Sure!
