The XP Penalty will be applied no longer be 30K loss on every 100K XP, but roughly as follows -

On each level up, the Character will lose XP equivalent to 30% of the XP required to level up the INACTIVE class.
Hence :

Archmage would lose 67.5K, which is 30% of the 225K required to level up the Inactive Cleric Class
Eldritch Phantom would lose 112.5K, which is 30% of the 375K required to level up the Inactive Mage Class
Prelate, Shadow Blade, Spell Steel, Sylvan Warden
- would all lose 75K XP upon levelling up, which is 30% of 250K required to level up the Inactive Fighter class

This makes it easier for everyone :) and a lot less "inefficient" scripting the game itself.

Just a Progress Note - Sylvan Warden and Shadow Blade have been completed and tested to be working.
Both have undergone some slight changes, but all will be made known in due time :)

I helped back than on this project when it was at the CoM boards if you can still remember, and I now just noticed it that you started here again... I find actually the xp penalty rest very bad. Why? Well not everybody of us rests the same amount of time and that would annoy a person like me that rests often (or so it seems) quite a lot.
I have heard of people finishing thanks to wish spell without resting at all... so they have no problems with this. Did you consider this?

Still modding the Mod for the Wicked... It is a big project you know... And I got sidetracked (several times) a bit... sorry.
However, as we all know, Evil never really sleeps.

Yes I did :) I provided a GLOBAL that they could set to disable the XP Drain when resting. This is for those who really don't want to let their styles be cramped. But by default the Drain will be there.

Off the side note, all 6 Hidden Kits are completed :) The only thing left to do now is to implement them on the selected NPCs.

OK, as this nears completion I seek Beta Testers. The plan is to Beta for about 2 weeks before making an Official Release.

Those interested feel free to post here or PM me :) Thanks!

What will be needed for the testing? I have no game running ATM and little time to play, but if it should go to the lines - test if it installs on BGT / test if XY spawns at XP reached or so, I should be able to do that :)

If you can't test it by running a game Proper, you could simply use CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP(xxxx) to level up from about level 1 to level 12, then to level 13 (when you get the kit) , then in increments of about 2-3 levels up to level 30.

You could also check for the NPCs that have the Kits installed and see that they work without error, especially with regard to their (modified) equipment.

Anyway, if I get a chance, I will take a sneak peek at the classes today. I suspect that the Spell Steel is actually quite weak - good AC can be got with Ghost Armor/Robe of Vecna/Archmagi and besides, protection from magical weapons is just a level 6 spell and does the job better, without hurting you further if you get hit. Is there a chance for two specializations like the Sylvan Warden has?

Disadvantage of Ghost Armor / Spirit Armor is that
a) lasts only a relatively short while
b) is Dispellable
That's why I never liked the two spells.
Plus of course, they occupy slots better reserved for more useful things like Fireball, Dire Charm, Skull Trap and Domination, Stoneskin.

But you're right, they might not be as powerful as I thought RELATIVE to their Multi-Classed versions.

Then could we maybe have one more properties path for the speel steel? I thought about something offensive related - for example- you could let him have one (or more) spells per every level, but give him spell refresh for first level spells upon casting? (means fewer abi dalzims and dragon breaths, but more magic missiles)
Another way would be to give him (x use per day ability?) +x magical damage to every hit (that would go through stoneskin)
