I'm trying to learn a bit about the game engine and I guess this might be the best place to ask.
I didn't see any post guidelines, but if my thread is inappropriate in this forum any moderator is free to delete it.

My question is how the game engine handles proficiency bonuses and which file needs to be altered to change these?
I know that profs.2da handles how many points a character is given upon creation and how often they receive additional points.
Is there a table for the bonuses or is this aspect handled differently by the engine?

I know it's possible to modify which weapons are covered by which proficiencies because there have been mods that did that (lumping katana/wakizashi/ninja-to, and mace/morningstar, together in a fashion that actually has some logical relation to their design and use). The specific bonuses given by each point in each value of proficiency might be hardcoded, however. Anyone else care to weigh in?

WSPATCK.2DA handles the mastery attack per round bonuses, only for fighers, rangers and paladins (and multiclasses thereof). WSPECIAL.2DA handles the mastery thac0, damage and initiative bonuses (for all classes).

Thanks!
Now, if I read these correctly, a fighter with a 0 from this table will attack 1 time per round (I'm guessing that there is a 1 attack base value), a fighter with a -1 1,5 times per round, a fighter with a 1 2 times per round and so on. Have I got it right?

[the bigg]

Yeah... just remember to take the fighter's level into count as well.

Great! This thread can be closed as far as I'm concerned.
