Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps

Disable, yes. Recover no.
If you have no rogue levels, you can just recover the trap at a +10 dc, so you have to aim higher to get them, but they're possible.

Re: Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps
In vanilla NWN a character needs to have Rogue lvls for them to be able to disable more complex traps, regardless of their Disable Trap skill.
The question is whether this has been addressed on Arelith somehow, since the wiki does not mention any changes to the skill.

Re: Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps
The answer is anyone can recover at an increased dc of 10.
So if we assume the highest module trap is dc 58 the recovery is 68.

Re: Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps
Only rogues can disable high DC traps. Everyone else tends to recover them and just ditch the trap at the earliest opportunity. Practically, the trap's still gone, the adventure continues.
Re: Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps
Oh, I kept wondering why my wizard couldn't disable traps that I should've been able to. Not that is a problem, I can just.. summon the pixie to do it, but I put points into it so I didn't have to rely on it, so I guess it's a bit silly.. Well, the more you know.

I am very tempted to make my wizard rogue wizards for getting the traps(and tumble, parry ac is very nice).fading wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 6:42 amOh, I kept wondering why my wizard couldn't disable traps that I should've been able to.

Re: Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps
I find it odd that a class with disable device as class skill is still unable to disable traps over DC 35. The restriction makes sort of sense for those without it as a class skill, but not for those with it. The only other class specific skill used to be Animal Emapthy, but the animal-to-henchmen mechanic has been opened to everyone with some investment, class skill or not

Re: Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps
This is a base neverwinternights restriction, and not an arelith one.
Re: Can loremaster or specialist disable high dc traps
I know. I just think it odd that it is retained now that disable device is a class skill for several other classes than rogue.
Of course, if it is hardcoded and difficult to change, then that is understandable.

It might be worth it to bring that up to Beamdog. They have un-hardcoded things since the EE release. I'm sure they're willing to do so again.

That would be great. For once I had a pure one, but this pissed me off and made another character.MissEvelyn wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 8:04 pmIt might be worth it to bring that up to Beamdog. They have un-hardcoded things since the EE release. I'm sure they're willing to do so again.
