Overrides for known familiar bugs

[Legacy_BCH]

               I took the time to make a few fixes to the Eyeball, Faerie Dragon, Pixie, Hell Hound, and Bat familiars, based on bugs that are noted in their NWN Wikia articles but for which I could not find fixes on the Vault.

I know about Ben Harrison & The Krit's Familiar and Companion fixes, and those fixes are so well-known and well-linked, that I figure it would be good for me to post these here, so that they have the option to add these to their package, rather than create yet another package on the Vault for people to search for and maybe not find.

You can find the overrides for these creatures here:

I have not published any sort of NWN content before, so if I'm going about this the wrong way, and I really should be putting this straight in the Vault (for example), please be polite when correcting me. '>

Full details:

- Eyeball Familiar levels 21-25 - reduced uses per day of eye-rays and spells to match earlier and later levels.

- Faerie Dragon Familiar level 19 - removed erroneous Daze Bolt, replaced with normal 2/day Improved Invisibility and 2/day Confusion Bolt.

- Pixie Familiar level 17 - Wisdom raised from 12 to 15 to match earlier and later levels.

- Hell Hound Familiar levels 13-14 - upped Fire Breath from 2/day to 3/day to match earlier and later levels.

- Bat Familiar level 4 - added Weapon Finesse feat to match all other levels.

               Uh? Whats the difference between your fixes and Ben Harrison's ones? Except your package don't fixes them all?

Seems to me you wasted time and effort...

Am I looking at the right set of fixes?  The override package by Ben Harrison and The Krit, here:

http://nwvault.ign.c....Detail&id=7669

...doesn't fix the Eyeball, the Bat, the Pixie, or the Faerie Dragon level 19.  Which are the ones I fixed.
(Edit: and the Hell Hound levels 13-14.)

Is there another package by Ben that is more complete?

Honestly, I thought I was helping. :-)

               Ok, good work the best would be imo to include them into Ben's fixes. Also may I include them in my patch project as well?

               Thanks for catching these, BCH!

With your permission, I'd certainly add them to my NWVault entry (and list you as a co-author). But I don't claim to have any monopoly on familiar fixes, if you'd rather take over the project and add my fixes to your own in a new submission.

               Sure, anyone who wants to can include these in their projects/packages!  That's why I put them up here first.  No credit is necessary, but it is nice.

B_Harrison, I hesitate to "take over" anything, as I'm very new to this.  I just figured it's best to keep everything in the existing well-known spots. '>
