Specialist not Selectable as a SpellSword

[Zekzaer]

Description of Bug Experienced:
I am currently in the PGCC, theorycrafting my next character. Upon leveling said character all the way through wothout resetting levels, i attempted to select Specialist, while meeting the requirements, and it is greyed out. This is also true for Bard and several other classes. Funnily... all those with Tumble Discipline and UMD as class skills.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Level up a Spellsword (Wiz 4/FTR 4/WIZ to 23) and then attempt to select Specialist

Expected Result:
Ability to select Specialist/Bard/Monk

Actual Result:
Unable to select the class, new theorycraft ensuing.

Additional Information/Notes
I play on the Nintendo Switch currently, as my PC is down amd Android (my preferred gaming platform) has a version mismatch. That being said, I have noticed SEVERAL bugs, but this is ths first one I have seen (I think) on Arelith. Maybe they changed how Spellswords can level up amd which classes they can select... I dont know.

Not a bug. Specialists can only be chosen if you are a commoner.

i could've sworn the point of specialist was to be open to everyone, to enable "skilldumping" without locking oneself into a weird class.

[Zekzaer]

Weird, as the requirements on state level 21 and a Skill Focus as the requirements...

Be that as it may, I found something equally discouraging.

Again I was in the PGCC, and I noticed that I cannot select any of the "Award" races upon creation, nor can I select Arcane Archer as a Wood Elf Ranger (10) with Path of the Archer... I know I meet those requirements.

Specialist was available to me on PGCC with this build

Code: Select all

Level up a Spellsword (Wiz 4/FTR 4/WIZ to 23) and then attempt to select Specialist

, as early as level 22 (i forgot to check at lvl 21)

Did you remember to take (normal) skill focus?

[Morderon]

Award races aren't available during creation; only through the dialog that opens after you enter the game. I wonder if there's an issue with the switch version of the game.

Ive had several instances both in Arelith proper and the PGCC where the updated classes of Arelith are not selectable by me on the Switch, even if I meet all of the requirements. A few that come to mind are Blackguard, Arcane Archer, Specialist.

I can select (And Play) Swashbuckler,DC, Harper (Any)...

It seems as though if I select a base human/half-elf/half-orc, i can go with Blackguard and AA, but using any other race will not let me. Ive uninstalled/reinstalled several times to no avail.

I am unsure what to do.

Took Skill Focus : Lore at level 7(FTR3)

This seems to be a running problem, and I would hesitate to suggest such, but as Ive only access to 2 seperate PW's on the Switch, and with no access to my main account on Mobile, I cant confirm or deny if there is a bug.

I (thankfully) wrote down the build for reproduceability in Arelith Proper and recorded every feat and statpoint i took. A link to that below.

I deleted NWN for the Switch, and am redownloading it now. Once it downloads and I re-download the Arelith files I will check back and update. (Approximately 3 hours)

I stand corrected.

I mixed it up with Commoners and cross-classing. They can only cross class with Specialist.

Disregard my above.

After a fresh install on the Switch, the problem remains. Got to be the Switch version.

Is there any update on this? Id just like to confirm if there will be a fix for this or not before attempting to build certain classes.
