StBonaventura overrides

May 13th, 2026 update: I've added an optional version which includes additional changes which might be rather controversial, as well as spell changes which make many spells much stronger. Spell script changes can be used separately, but they require an edited dialog.tlk to use. If you want those spell changes to be documented in an otherwise unchanged dialog.tlk, write about that in the comments or send me a message.

2. 0 version is out. This one is very different from the previous one to the point of being pretty much a different mod, but it also features dialog.tlk override to reflect all the changes in the game. Previous version's description for those who would use it is hidden in the spoiler

Changes from default game settings:

• []Ranger now receives Uncanny Dodge at the progression as Barbarian and also receives Bane of Enemies at 1st level[/]

  []Sorcerer now has d6 Hit Die and 3/4 BAB progression[/]

  []Monk now has full BAB progression[/]

  []Epic Weapon Focus/Specialization feats are renamed to Improved Weapon Focus/Specialization and made available pre-epic[/]

  []Overwhelming and Devastating Critical are available pre-epic and have their Strength requirement lowered by 10 each[/]

  []Weapon Specialization feat line gives 2x the damage bonus[/]

  []Improved Power Attack and Improved Expertise now have the penalty of non-improved versions and replace them (default Expertise might persist for some reason but the Improved version is available regardless)[/]

  []Dirty Fighting bonus die is now 1d12 (might not be shown in the description, please notify me if that is the case)[/]

  []Two-handed weapons provide 3x Strength modifier instead of default 1. 5x[/]

  []Off-hand weapons no longer suffer from halved Strength modifier[/]

  []Ranged weapons now have extended critical threat range, especially crossbows[/]

  []Bows now have 2x the damage dice[/]

  []Sling now has d12 damage die[/]

  []Scythe is now 18-20/x2 critical weapon as opposed to the default x4[/]

  []Armor no longer restricts Dexterity bonus[/]

  []Light armor has no ASF penalty[/]

  []Medium and heavy armor have 20% ASF penalty except for Full Plate which has 25%[/]

  []Halfplate weight is halved[/]

  []Heavy Shield now provides +4 AC instead of +2[/]

  []Tower Shield now provides +9 AC instead of +3[/]

  []XP curve is changed to provide faster pre-epic early game level progression without changing overall amount of XP necessary to reach level 20[/]

  []Default value for abilities during chargen is now 10 instead of 8[/]

  []Point buy no longer has price increments for abilities on scores of 14 and 16, remaining 1-to-1[/]

  If something is amiss, please notify me
