iprp_spells.2da & des_crft_*.2das

-Added entries for new spells.

-Description for Disable Trap updated.

-Endurance renamed to Bear's Endurance

-Descriptions added for new spells.

-Class descriptions updated to reflect changes.

-Updated some spell descriptions to reflect their current effects. More pending.


Haks:

-Anatomy:

--Duplicated a few pieces with different colour options. (I think. Frankly, I did this years ago and don't recall what exactly, as the notes are gone.)

--Replaced PLT wings with uncompressed versions so they work once more.


-Creatures:

--Removed broken Werecat model override.  Default should function fine.

--Removed old CEP wereboar. The default added in a later bioware patch looks better.

--Replaced most Dragon models and added new ones for Gem and a number of other types. The new dragon models cannot be 'highlighted'. This is intentional due to a crash bug.

--I originally updated/replaced over 400 creatures with nicer versions from Project Q, but somewhere that all went wrong, so hundreds of line edits later, I had to scrap it all. I will redo this at some point.


-Items:

--Added missing icon for 11ac torso 230.

--Replaced a number of placeable and detail textures with nicer ones.

--Replaced default small, large, and tower shield models.  Also recovered the Gem tower shields from 1.69.  Some shield appearances were lost with this. Most of them were bad.

--Replaced default weapon models with Amethyst Dragon's Reforged project.  There are some weapon appearance mismatches due to this. They will be fixed as time permits.


-Tilesets:

--Added a new interior multi-level generic dungeon tileset, Versatile Dungeon.

--Added a combo city/rural tileset, CompleteRC.

--Added a medieval city and rural tileset, Medieval City by Zwerkules. (Still somewhat WIP.)

--Added a a stomach interior and caravan interior to the Microset.


-Misc:

--Recovered Icon for Tenacious Magic.

--Added custom Immunity Icons. Now you can see what you're immune to (or which is wearing off/was dispelled) without mousing over them.

--Added better versions of default skyboxes.

--Added better rain vfx.

===========================================
Swordmage - NWN 3.5 Conversion for CD
===========================================


HitDie: d8
BAB: +1/level

Saves:
Fortitude: Low
Reflex: Low
Will: High

Skill Points: (6 + Int modifier per level, ×4 at 1st level)

Class Skills: Bluff, Concentration, Discipline, Heal, Intimidate, Lore, Knowledge(Arcana), Knowledge(Planar), Listen, Parry, Perform, Spellcraft, Spot, Tumble

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies:
Swordmages are proficient with Simple and Martial weapons.
Swordmages gain no armor or shield proficiencies.

Incantations(Su):
Incantations are special, short lived spells used by the Swordmage.  They require an attack action to use, do not provoke attacks of opportunity or require concentration checks. Incantations will not function if the Swordmage wears armor, or if he has anything in his off-hand, or is wielding a two-handed weapon. Each Rank requires base Charisma of 10 + the Incantation Rank to function.
Builder Note: It is possible in some circumstances that using an Incantation may provoke an AoO. This is a quirk of NWN and there is nothing to be done about it.

The DC of saving throws for Incantations is 10 + (Incantation Level * 2) + CHA modifier.  The Swordmage has an Arcane Caster level equal to his class level.

Weapon Incantations (W), are applied to the Swordmage's main hand weapon only. They are removed when the weapon is unequipped or armor or a shield is equipped.  They can not be placed on weapons with existing non-incantation enchantments. (Elemental Weapon etc.) A newly cast Weapon Incantation will overwrite a previous one.
Builder Note: Basically this means your weapon buffs are self only. A weapon leaving your inventory will strip them. Using one will overwrite Elemental Weapon etc.)

Armor Incantations (A), will be nullified if the Swordmage equips armor or a shield.

Abilities:

Level:
1: Incantations: Cantrips, Combat Casting
2: Incantations: I
3: Weaponized Arcana I
4: Uncanny Dodge I, Bonus Feat

Bonus Feats List:

Abilities:

Combat Casting: While not inherantly useful to the Swordmage, as their Incantations do not require Concentration checks, a Swordmage's training is beneficial if they multiclass into other Arcane classes.

Weaponized Arcana I-V: The Swordmage adds a temporary +1 Enhancement Bonus, per rank of Weaponized Arcana, to any one-handed melee weapon he wields that he also has the Weapon Focus feat for.

Protective Personality: The Swordmage's constant use of Incantations grants him a Deflection bonus to AC equal to his Charisma modifier, capped at 5.  This bonus is nullified if the Swordmage wears armor, uses a shield or does not otherwise have their off-hand free.

Protective Personality, Greater: As Protective Personaity, but grants AC up to 2x CHA mod, and the bonus is now capped at 10.
