📋 About This Mod
2 Handed Weapon Abilities for Arcane Warriors v6. 1 -------------------------------------------------- by: rebel5555 (aka Joshua R.) This works for both DAO and Awakening (Unable to add new 2 Handed Abilities until an update for the toolset is released that enables editing of Awakening Scripts). I decided to make this mod because requested to able use the 2 handed Weapon abilities for the Arcane Warrior sub class. I also include the source code in case someone was interested in seeing how I implemented this. Change Log: ----------- v6. 1 Updated the readme to show that this mod is compatible with my other mods v6. 0 Made Compatible with Combat Tweaks v32 ONLY (Can\'t update to the latest version until Dennis Lee updates the source files) v5. 0 Implemented and Made Fully Compatable with the \"Personal Annoyance Remover Mod by Rekicker\" v4. 0 Made Compatible with newest mod/ Added an extra feature v3. 0 Fixed Indomitable so now it works properly v2. 0 Fixed the ability scripts so that they work v1. 0 Initial Release Installation Instrustions: -------------------------- !!IMPORTANT!!

Installing New Awakening 2 Handed Abilities Instructions: ------------------------------------------------------- In the folder \"Optional\" there is a folder called \"Extra 4 Abilities SEE README\" In this folder I have changed the New Awakening 2 handed Abilities to only work for Arcane Warriors. Which means that any character who isn\'t an Arcane Warrior can not use those abilities. This could possibly break the game thats why it\'s an optional file. You do not have to use it if you don\'t want to. This is a temporary fix until Bioware releases an update for the toolkit that will have all the Awakening Scripts. To Install the optional files just copy \"abi_base_2handed_gxa.gda\" and \"ALWizard_2handed_gxa.gda\" to the folder ALWizard_2handedWeapons Compatibility: -------------- This mod is compatible with my other Arcane Warrior mods.
