@Lava: Would it be alright to add Varshoon to Lvl1NPCs? I'm in the process of rounding up permissions from a number of NPC mod creators whose NPCs are not yet included. See this post for some more information.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

I think someone already asked me about that, but it's pointless. Varshoon has his own, custom kit which is part of his heritage. He is a psionic creature and this would result in ridiculus situation like making a illithid berserker.
However, if players believe it ok, then... it's up to them. I myself think that's completely pointless and would result in breaking most basic rules.

I don't really have any personal plans to change Varshoon into something else, but it's good for Lvl1NPCs to cover as many mod NPCs as possible, I think. Thanks!

Edit: There is actually a FR prestige class for illithids called 'Body Tamer', which is a physical melee-focused fighter. Just sayin'.

I may be wrong, but doesn't Lvl1NPCs allow player to pick other class for supported NPCs? And I am afraid that this may result in some strange stuff, because for example Varshoon has unchangable weapon in each of his weapon slots... if someone change his class/kit, then he will loose all the abilities, resistances...
I have a bad feeling about this....

I understand (and actually share ) your apprehension... But there's pretty big disclaimers in L1NPC about "you change an NPC into something stupid it's on you!". Other than class/kits you can however edit stats and proficiencies in L1NPC so there's that at least. Although I take it that changing proficiencies would make poor Varshoon pretty lame with his unchangeable weapons

[Lava Del'Vortel]

exactly... well, it's up to those who insist of makind some kind of strange hybrid of illithid and... who-even-knows-what

[Dakk]

All I can see is tentacles.

I would say since it kind of breaks the mod, I wouldn't put in L1NPCs. But that's just me. Varshoon is different to other NPCs because he has racial abilities that will be broken by changing things.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

I agree. Quester - you've got your answer. Sorry, but putting Varshoon in Lvl1NPCs will make Varshoon unplayable. This may damage the character.

[Quester]

I completely understand, and you may be right that it's best for this type of NPC, actually.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

It's been a while since I wrote this mod. I may try to write some banters and post them in G3 Crossmod, so they can be included, but I'm not sure when it's going to happen. But I'm not saying 'no'. It may happen, one day.

Hi, I really like this NPC good work, just wanted to say I had a problem when Varshoon died and I raised him he was missing all of his custom items,

[Lava Del'Vortel]

Hmm that's strange. I will take a look at the problem in future.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

Jasne, nie krępuj się Wrzucę tłumaczenie do moda - chociaż może być mały poślizg z uploadem z powodu problemami z downloadem. Dzięki i pozdrawiam!

Hi just a small bug report . After being turned into a drow in the Underdark when I used Varshoons dagger to attack anything it would cause the game to crash and a message about a courrpt item Bam file would pop up. iam still enjoying the mod

Hi Lava Del'Vortel,

it's me disturbing you again.

I wonder if you had time to add the dialogues (with Irenicus and Xulaye) in the mod.

Thanks for help.

I'm afraid I can't add talks with Irenicus as I think author isn't here any longer. I may poke Liam to discuss Xulaye, though. Not sure what they would talk about, though.
