How does one go about granting an extra Feat? Not a specific Feat mind you; I know that can be done via scripting.
I'm more curious to know if, on level up, you can grant a character a bonus Feat, that the player could then choose any from the available list for that character's race/class?
Does this have to trigger from every level up? Or only once? Or only on specific intervals?
And does this have to apply to everyone who has levels in that class or only to specific individuals?

I'm only interested in doing this to a very specific companion, and only on certain level ups (like-4th level, 8th-level, etc.).
Adding a specific Feat is really easy; there's a script and function call just for that. But I just want to give a certain companion an extra feat opportunity in a couple instances.
I can go the specific feat route, but I'd rather the player have a bit more control over what gets selected.
I can see what the problem with a custom class could be though. Even though this is a companion, he/she may be intended to access all regular classes and gain access to bonus feats based solely on those.
With a custom class you either give access to all feats (as bonus) or you only give a specific set to them, but it cannot dinamically change based on what other classes he picked.
That said, I had done something similar a few years ago, the problem is, the code was so long and complex that right now I would not even know where to begin to take a look to modify it to suit your need. Still, if you feel you have the patience to toy around with it follow the instructions below (to be continued *dramatic music*)
This one is used to call the UI, make a new feat, associate it to a new spell, and use this as impact script.

I am confused by this. When I did the archetype class system I opened up the feat list for each class quite a bit, but never had a problem with class based pre-reqs. Likewise for the custom class I made, which I gave its own feat list, basically duplicating another class' s list and then editing it for the additions/subtractions I wanted.I can see what the problem with a custom class could be though. Even though this is a companion, he/she may be intended to access all regular classes and gain access to bonus feats based solely on those.
With a custom class you either give access to all feats (as bonus) or you only give a specific set to them, but it cannot dinamically change based on what other classes he picked.

While adding brand new feats/abilities takes work and a custom player available class needs work on balance, making a variant class based off existing classes and abilities wasnt too bad once I figured out how the 2das related.
kamal_, how hard is it to do that? What you did - basically copy a class, and then add a couple feats as options?
The problem I have going to automatic assignment route (which for the most part would actually work really well) is that if the player were to multiclass this character, they could potentially end up with the feat twice, which would be.
What I'd really love to do is prevent this companion from being multiclassed. I have the variable on in my campaign, so all companions can be multiclassed. And for some companions, that's a good idea; I'm trying to setup attributes on some companions so that the player could multiclass them if they wish (I always recount Imoen from Baldur's Gate 2, who made a fine thief/mage because she had the stats for it).
Is there a way to turn the multiclassing off for specific companions? Because so far, what I've seen, is that it's just a global setting for the entire campaign.
I may have found an answer to the multiclassing issue. If this works, then auto-assignment of specific feats for this companion shouldn't be an issue.
Restricted Companion Multiclassing
EDIT: Oh well, I did not see you had found another solution while I was typing the code, nevermind then.
If you intend to do it with a companion being single classed and not having access to other classes then it's much easier, and kamal_'s approach is indeed the best one, you make a new custom class from scratch with more bonus feats on the tables and you're set.
To prevent him from taking levels in other classes, make this script and put it on Player Level Up of module properties:
const int NEW_CLASS = 9999; //you decide the number here, but it should be the row ID of your new class in class.2da
void RunLevels(object oPC)
{
int nCLASS_2 = GetClassByPosition(2, oPC);
if (nCLASS_2 == CLASS_TYPE_INVALID) return;
int nLEVEL = GetTotalLevels(oPC, FALSE);
int nEXP = GetXP(oPC);
int nTABLE = StringToInt(Get2DAString("exptable", "XP", nLEVEL - 2));
SetXP(oPC, nTABLE + 1);
SetXP(oPC, nEXP);
DelayCommand(0.1, RunLevels(oPC));
}
void main()
{
object oPC = GetPCLevellingUp();
int nCLASS_1 = GetClassByPosition(1, oPC);
if (nCLASS_1 != NEW_CLASS) return;
DelayCommand(0.1, RunLevels(oPC));
}
you make a new custom class from scratch with more bonus feats on the tables and you're set.
I guess I need to look at this approach, because it would be the most robust, and ideally the best way to handle it.
I've never opened the class.2da file before. Time to dig I suppose.
Related question, in case anyone knows:
When you're leveling up, sometimes your class automatically gets a feat (like Paldins get Remove Disease). And it's shown in the Feats gui as automatically selected, in the 2nd panel.
Is there a way to do that in code, in a script, or is that a function of the 2DA and class packages?
Another question, if people are still reading:
Default classes.2da goes to 105, with most of the latter being padding. Kaedrin's PRC starts at 106 and goes to 187.
If I were to add a custom class, and desire to make it compatible with Kaedrin's PRC, would it be wise of me to use one of the padding spots, at 105, or add padding after Kaedrin's and start with something like 190?
What's the best way to handle this?
What's the best way to handle this?
kevL, I really like that idea, but how would I do that?
I'm no good at the custom UI stuff. The XML gives me a headache.
It's the scripts I showed above. They call custom UI that allows you to select feats.
It's the scripts I showed above. They call custom UI that allows you to select feats.
Okay Clangeddin86, I'll give it a try.
It sounds simple enough. It would be easier than a custom class. I'm trying a custom class right now, but it's not going so well. And it's not really the right solution; this companions class shouldn't be a different one, it just needs a few extra feats.
So where's the best place to hook this if I want to call these scripts? I'm trying to figure that out...
