Changelog
Updates -
-All class modifications are done but for Harper crafting and modifications to the Shifter dragon and construct shapes.
-As clarification to the ECL increase for Dragon Disciples; this will only affect how much XP the character receives. When it comes to determine encounter difficulties, etc, the ECL increase does not come into effect. ECL is something though that can be modified without hak updates, so these increases could be reviewed and potentially adjusted depending on long-term in-game observation and feedback
-Due to how targeting of spells works when provided through a radial menu, all Blackguard and Assassin spells can only be cast on the caster, or on an allowed target (most often a creature, but sometimes a placeable or door). They cannot be cast on the ground.
In addition, the 1st level Assassin spells, since 3 of the 4 are self-cast-only anyway, will all immediately be cast on the PC when selected. I realize that this means Assassins will need to be close to any hostile targets in order to get them affected by the Sleep spell. But for the amount I am anticipating that spell will actually be used in comparison to the other three, I felt the choice to make the entire spell level self-cast was 'acceptable'.
-To save my sanity, I will not be implementing a class verification script to check and update existing PCs to the new class modifications. PCs will only get changes for your class at each level up. If you already have a PC with any of the affected classes and you do want the abilities of a lower level...you'll need to de-level yourself at the Enchantment Forges or in some other way, then re-level. The good news is that you will not lose any of the NWN-standard class abilities you may have gained though.
I know some people get very attached to their PCs, but I'd like to encourage those of you with PCs affected by these changes to consider starting over new if you want to try out a character build, rather than trying to readjust an existing Ps. I do not want DMs to be doing any character rebuilds because of these changes, since that will be a task that never ends.
