 So I'm working on my project and I would like this:

Classes when creating a character:

Fighter, Wizard, Ranger

If a wizard, is it possible to (when leveling up) to choose only some spells:

Say a level 20 wizard, can only use fireball, greater fireball, ice storm, fire/ice ray's and such.

And not be able to cast spells such as; clarify/freedom of movement or invisiblity.


Could anyone please let me know if this is possible, if so, how?

I'm a newb to custom scripting, so I have no knowledge of this

If you are just disabling abilities, then yes, you could customize the 2DAs that pertain to what you want to do. In the classes.2da you can toggle if a player can use a particular class for example.

So when they level up (and i edit the 2da),

The class screen will only show the 3 classes?

Same goes for leveling up as a mage. When you get to the spell book interface, Say Level 7 spell, will only show fireball? (example)

Anything you do to the 2da's will also apply to your npcs. If you deactivate all the spells except fire spells, that's all anyone will be casting.

If you want a war between the fire mages and the ice mages, for example, I don't think it's possible with simple 2da editing.

One possibility would be to take a class you're not going to use, Druid for example, and completely replace it with your own design.

Newbish question;

To edit the classes, do i edit then save it separate, and put it in my doc's > nwn2 > override?

[I_Raps]

If you want it to apply universally to your game (i.e. every campaign or adventure you play) then yes, although I would put it all in a subfolder in override.

If you want it to apply strictly to a mod you're creating, you would put the files in a hak and associate that hak with your mod. There's a lot more to that than I'm going to explain here - read the sticky threads here, also the NWN2 Wikis and other resources.

Tried editing it and putting it as an override, but it closes the game when i try to make a new character

Any helpful links to direct to anything ?

...good place to start

lots of info right here in these forums - try to figure out the forum search - its a bit wibbley wobbley

the wiki is pretty straight forward for learning 2da files

[K Kin]

I've scouted some threads (mostly just the stickies) but can't see anything related to adding/removing classes, only spells atm, but not going in to that yet.

Wiki, i've only found how to edit 2da and what the lines do, which I sort of knew already >_<

without having access to your modified classes.2da it will be difficult to discern your quandary accurately - the game crashing or some such thing -

- my advice is to go back to a stock classes.2da and test it before making further modification - just to be sure that is the cause -

- turning of a class is simply a toggle column - i cannot recall its header from memory -

- there is also a race toggle iirc level limit etc

- spells.2da has similar options

- another suggestion: for testing your creation, the override is much more convenient
