               <picking up...>

About *time* the quarterstaff was fixed :-P That's been bugging me a long time.

I also like the additional req for Shadowdancer, AA; make sense.

Not that hard of a change.  Did it about 3 1/2 years ago for my PW, via a quick change to baseitems.2da....although I also add temp. (1 week) Two-Weapon Fighting bonus feat to it when aquired via scripting, so it doesn't hit wizards and others with quite so large of an attack penalty.


Some of these other changes sound interesting, and I might take a look over it to see if there's any ideas I might want to incorporate into my own stuff.

As interesting it is, using quartstaff as double isn't very profitable at least without two-weapon fighting (not to consider that in nwn you must also take ambidex which was merged in 3.5 with 2wf), having -6/-10 is almost useless really. The PnP allows the character to choose how to wield it, so a druid or wizard can still use quarterstaff as a two-hand weapon to avoid this huge penalty. Problem is how to manage it in nwn, best solution would be secondary base item but that would mean that weapon feats would be nonfunctional for it.

ShadowM, I dont think you can substitute improved uncanndy dodge with
defensive awareness 2 just like that... The 3.5 PnP has a special
conditions for it especially to avoid imbalance which I believe you
brought with this (undocumented) change. And that is true for many other
features such as already mentioned quarterstaff or your version of
manyshot and instant reload. But OK. I get it, its house rules package, not 3.5 rules or balance one.

BTW Few issues I found out:
- fatigue (at least that from rage) rage can be removed with restorations spells
- trip as it is is absolutely useless, since its a cast spell it takes a full round+bit time which is more than target needs to stand up again and attack - using this in combat might be usefull only in party when fullbab class will trip and retreat lol, if the combat log showed numbers would be also nice

the damage reduction system is weird, original weapon damage is still resisted, instead you roll new weapon damage amount and apply it as a magic damage.
1) its very awkard for a players who will see the original (and different ammount of) damage in combat log
2) the magical damage as an effect itself can be blocked by the creature magic damage immunity/resistance
I was hoping in something more elaborated, from your presentation of this system.':unsure:'

               I incorporated Ambidexterity so that everyone get it free at first level
The penalty is only -4 / -4 as of now and I might introduce Amethyst Dragon feat add-on with it. Other then that I see this as a minor thing.

There is no Defensive awareness in 3.5 core books and it function is a perfect match to improved uncanny dodge. Are you talking about (The exception to this defense is that a rogue at least four levels higher than the dwarven defender can flank him (and thus sneak attack him). This is another minor issue. The reason it was not documented was a simple slide over because we are not using legacy 3.0 or non 3.5 core book feats right now.

My version of manyshot is the closest you can get to 3.5 core books and instant reload allow more flexibility in crossbows. I think everything I done is really close to 3.5 core books and I understand if you opinion differs. The issue of balance I feel is as balanced as 3.5 core books are, which is it own debate.

Bugs
Fatigue can be removed with restoration ( I know I thought I tested it, but it might of been left out when I debated even having rage fatigue because too many people would not like it. I look into it. )
Trip : I have tested this plenty of time as found a first level character could easily get an extra attack on the trip target before it got up from prone. (I go back and look at it and if it is off on it timing then I just adjust the prone effect time. Should only be a  1 round effect.)
Thank you for the bug report, I like to remind you that this is still just in Alpha stage and bug will be searched out more in Beta stage.

Damage reduction:
1. I can see it being awkward at first and then understood really quick. Every person I showed this off to pick it up pretty fast and had no trouble with it. I think the system is as close as you can get to 3.5 in a only hak / script setup. Maybe with NWNX you can get closer.
2. There are little or no monsters in 3.5 core monster manual that I know of that have magical damage resistance/ magic damage immunity they do have magic damage reduction. I see for a builder this is minor and could be worked around. If you can point me to some that are in 3.5 core monster manual I will look over them, thanks.

Sorry, I havent noticed getting ambidex for free, with this, quarter staff is viable choice indeed, probably better balanced than my rules enforcement which follows the 3.5 exactly in this (but I couldnt enforce changing the wield style so it appeared useless).

To the rest of your response, I have different opinion, but no point to argue - if you want to know my objections PM me.
