Craziness - Character Creation Bug

Post by slproq » Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:43 pm

Greetings,

I have been attempting to make a rock gnome, monk (18), ED (7), SD (5). I noticed upon creation a message that I have a lesser token for sacrificing one of my toons. Thats the only thing that is different from me building this character and a buddy of mine replicating the exact same thing on a different account. Here's the issue:

When asked if I want to burn my minor award I chose "no"
Then I proceed to the creation process, major in dex and con and skip the minor. When I can see my feat list I have weapon finesse for free (per update) and dodge. I don't want or need dodge. I never chose it. Its just there. When Im directed to the skills screen I choose them and poof Im at level 2. I never get the option to choose my 1st level feat. For some reason dodge is getting auto populated. Using the exact same align, stats, major gifts (dex, con) etc. my buddy can chose toughness at first level which is exactly what I want to do but can't. Dodge does me no good considering I get it at 11 when I go Earthkin Def anyway.

Please forgive me if Im missing something obvious but ive tried it a million times and always get the same results. My friend has done it a few times now and he gets predictable results using the same keystrokes. The token is the only thing I can see that separates the test cases.

Please advise.

On the packages page in character creation (before you get into the server where gifts will apply) are you picking a predefined package or selecting your own skills and feats?

Do I need to keep reposting to keep this active? The last question asked was answered without any suggestions for resolution.

Earthkin Defenders get dodge for free, is that what you're seeing?

Not a dev, but, I think if you share a screenshot of the feats you are taking during character creation and a screenshot of your level 1 toon in game with the dodge feat could help.

Mrftw:

No. I haven't gone ED yet. I'll take yer advice on shooting the dev team a screenies.

11-1

Thanks. It's frustrating but I get that there's a long line here and I'm just one of many.

Now to figure out how to attach screenies from my cell. Getting "file too large" error.

Take a screenshot, paste it to yourself on Discord. Open that image, click "Open in Browser". Copy the URL, paste it here in your reply. Then highlight it and click the insert image button

I'm the nice one.. I promise :twisted:

Fyi - it's not just that build. It's any new build I make. They all have Dodge chosen for me.

I just made a half orc ftr/barb. Fighter 4, barb 26. Before I even chose my ecl stuff my character sheet shows Dodge. It's there soon as I land in arelith. I deleted and reinstalled the game. Ftrs get two feats 1st level. I only get one. I'm not sure how that screen shot process with Discord works. This is frustrating. I appreciate any support I can get.

This screenshot isn't accurate
You should choose the screenshot whereby you're at Packages/Feat selection.

It will list out all the Feats that you can choose on the left, and the taken feat on the right + other information.
Additionally, have you tried creating a character for example, half-orc with less than 12 Dex and see if the dodge feat actually still appears?
If the dodge feat disappears but something esle (another feat that you didn't take and shouldn't appears) appears, you might have unknowingly picked the feat, perhaps through the "recommend" button on feat selection

Dodge feat is unable to be taken if you do not have at least 13 dex.

Isn't accurate? What possible reason would I have to waste my time or anybody elses in this forum posting "inaccurate" screen shots? Please believe, the screen shot is accurate. The same thing happens regardless of what I build. There is always "dodge" in my feat list before I have a chance to choose any feats and it is counted against my fist level feats be it fighter or any other class.

Please advise.

And yes, the feat is there even if I don't meet the prerequisites - DISREGARD

The feat is not there if I don't have 13 dexterity.

Please forgive my frustration. The struggle is real. I have determined the problem. I still need assistance. All my nw toons enter the vault at 2nd level. I just made a Barb with no Dex to test the dodge theory. Dodge isn't there BUT toughness and power attack are both there and I never chose them. For some reason I don't see first level.

Default

You need to pick configure packages at the bottom. Clicking anything directly from the list of premade packages will autopick skills and feats for many base NWN classes.

Click "Configure Package", never ever choose default or recommended package.

Let me check. I always configure my skill points myself with any build but maybe I'm clicking default first and throwing everything off.

Thanks for the help. I should have tried this forever ago. Think that was suggestion #1. If it works I wouldn't be mad if the entire thread replied:

"Not the sharpest of swords are you"

Confirmed. I'm a moron.

Sorry for this entire thread.
