How to make a spell wich will change at different char levels (as fireball and others)?
I've tryed to make a multi layered spell but that just dont helps

We need a bit more info to diagnose the problem... what are you trying to do, exactly?

My initial suggestion for problems such as these is to find an existing spell with similar effects and either base the new spell off of it or use it for comparison purposes.

What i need is "lay hands" spell which damages instead of healing

My first idea was to do so:
layer1: first level spell do 2 damage
layer2: second level spell do 4 damage
layer3: third level spell do 6 damage
layer4: fourth level spell do 8 damage and so on
but that just do not seem to work....
the thecond thing i'v thought about was a layhands.2da (or something near that) file wich i've found - but i've got no idea of how schould it be writen or connected to spell

Sounds like you're trying to address an issue that is handled by the clab files. Use NI or whatever you prefer to take a look at the CLAB files for various classes and you'll see how, at various levels corresponsing to the NPC levels at the top.

So, if you want this to start at level 10, you change the **** under the 10 column with at GA_xxxxx.spl (GA stands for GA ability) accordingly.


I don't know if you can reproduce something similar to the layhands 2da linked to a spell, maybe someone else can help with that.

But i need a spell, not a class ability. Anyway there's nothing about that. I'll try to specify a question:

how should i make fireball which deals [char level]d6 of damage instead of 1d6 all of the time?

Take a look a the spells in the game, many of them change as the character levels up. SPWI116 (Sleep) increases the length of time the spell has an effect. It does this by having several extended headers (abilities) each referring to a new character level the effects are then altered for each level.

Somewhy it doesn't work when I do it the same whay/ Maby I get mistaken at some point.
