manipulate skill points
« on: January 05, 2009, 02:05:12 PM »
hey guys,
i noticed several chars have pretty darn useless skillpoints when you pick them up to join your groups. for instance kivan has two skill points in helbards wich is fine with me since he has that in BG1 without tutu as well. but he also has two skill points in two weapon style! what the hel? is he supposed to dual-wield helbard?! also minsc has the same problem. he has two skill points in two-handed sword which is fine. but then 3!!! skill points in two weapon style. i mean come on... how senseless is that?

so im wondering how i can manipulate their skill points to make then a serious fighter. any suggestions?

You can use the Level1NPCs mod (that Mike1072 linked to) to make changes to the bioware NPC's as well as a few of the mod added NPC's depending upon which game it is being used in.
Also, Minsc and Kivan are rangers by default and in the BG2 engine (which Tutu uses) rangers are given automatic points in Two Weapon Style. There is no getting around that, unless you want to change them into pure fighters but then you loose any ranger spells that they could have had.
