Archmage Pack

=============================================================== A R C H M A G E =============================================================== This package extends the mage class in several new interesting ways. The result is a mage with a powercurve akin to DnD. (Which is part of a running gag. See: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards). Now the game balance wasn\'t designed for this kind of progressions, so this results in a sort of cheatery pack. Which is why it currently works only on player character mages. There is also an optional download override to make it work on all mages as well. ============================================= ! ! ! I M P O R T A N T ! ! ! ============================================= There are some very noteworthy COMPATILITY notes here: 1. The pack was created using: -Awakening(the expansion) -All major DLC -Awakening in the OC(http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/920) And since I\'m too lazy to test compatility without any of those you\'ll have to make do. 2. Because of the a problem I encountered during the making of this, I had to make the pack by modifying(i.e. overriding) some very core game files. These are: -rules_core -player_core -all abilities Therefore, this should be used at YOUR OWN RISK. ============================================= ! ! ! I M P O R T A N T ! ! ! ============================================= The pack consists of several components: 1. A line of new spells. 2. A whole slew of new Metamagic Skills. 3. Various other fixes and tweaks(some taken from other mods, credits below). 4. New levelcap of 60. ======================================================= 1. New Spells ======================================================= 1. Spirit Link The mage creates a link through the fade for all party members, distributing 50% of incoming damage to other party members. Damage received through this link is never fatal, instead dispelling the effect for that party member. 2. Fade Seer By tapping into the Fade the Seer is able to see a moment into the future, and can avoid a fatal hit, provided he can pass a Mental Resistance check. If a hit has been resisted in the last 15 seconds the next fatal hit instead is reduced to half damage. 3. Channel Vitality The mage creates a channel through the fade, drawing from party member\'s life and mana/stamina to bolster a single ally. Decreases fatigue by 10-25%. Increases max life and mana/stamina by 10-25%. Draws 10% of other party member\'s current life and mana/stamina and applies it to target as a regeneration over 15 seconds. 4. Avatar The mage becomes one with the Fade, a living avatar of magic in the mortal realm, gaining a large bonus to mana regeneration, spell power and a greater proficiency in casting spells. Increases mana regeneration by 20, spell power by 50 and reduces fatigue by 20%. ==============================================
