See note no. 2.

Does not work for me i have a bunch of new class mods from Odin and a script enhancement mod.

It works on multiplayer me and a friend have used it in our current playthrough

I haven't done any testing with multiplayer and I'm not sure how it works. All I can tell you is that the game only references these files during the character creation process -- so if character creation occurs on a different PC in multiplayer, that doesn't have this mod active, it's not going to work. AFAIK there's only the one set of class preset files, so if it's not working for one player but is working for another, I can only assume the mod is not activated on the unaffected player's PC.

Sadly, your mod is apparently broken, as when playing multi-player, only ONE of us could get the benefit of this mod, not both of us.

would it be possible to make a "weaker" version of this mod? instead of 6 combat skill and 6 civil skills with 4/4, and just one talent? would be very nice, 6 combat points are just too much when playing with divine war, but 2 feels too restrictive in the schools a character can pick later on.

the reason i ask is because, in case you still have the original files, you would just need to change the two 6s to 4s, and the 2 back to a 1, so i hope it's not much work for you. thanks :)

(in case you don't have the files left, could you point me to a tutorial where you learned how to mod DOS2?)

Oh, okay.

Oh, that’s because there are just a few that have minor tweaks that are supposed to also be at the very bottom. To be honest, they may not need to be lower than yours (they may not touch any of your changes). I followed every author’s recommendation and through further analysis decided which one would safely supersede one another.

@S I L E N C E R... why put my mods at 195 instead of the very bottom?

I have made a guide some time ago that should serve to (Guide) fellow modders/users to maximize their (modded) DOS2 experience:

" The Definitive D:OS2 'Mod Load-Order' List "

Feel free to point others to the guide :)
(Could also reduce some support tickets!)

k thanks

Not sure. If the game loads at all, it'll probably only load up one set of files depending on how you got them placed in the load order. To be safe, you should only ever activate one at a time.

do they cancel out if i have both lucky break and the other one

Enabling any mod will disable achievements, however it is possible to circumvent this and re-enable achievements with mods. I don't remember exactly how off the top of my head, but it should be easy enough to find.

can you get achievements using this mod?

When you go in to enable or disable mods, you can also move them up or down in the list. Generally speaking you want mods that the game will access more frequently at the top of the list, and less frequently at the bottom.

all mod says : my mod should be at the BOTTOM of the load order !!
and how to put all last ?^^
it's a fashion trend ?
thank you works well ! i have 5 mods soo :( fear ! :p

Ok I've put the mod last in order and now it work! Too bad doesn't seem to work with Joyless mod (skip Fort Joy mod)

Extra points are available during character creation and when you first recruit a companion.These are the only two points in the game where the class preset files are accessed. Unless the expanded party mod somehow circumvents those moments, it should be compatible.

Doesn't support expanded party? Just 4 members can get the extra points?

I've found that this is compatible with quite a few additional class mods, with the exception of Heleane's. Unfortunate, but ah well!

I'm not sure I understand, but if you launch the DE version of the game, you will only be able to see workshop mods that are DE compatible; and if you launch the vanilla version of the game, you will only be able to see the vanilla mods. So, yeah, if you want to use my mods w/ the DE, you'll need to subscribe to the DE versions.

If we were still playing off the Original version from Kickstarter, should we just switch over to the DE and make sure to swap out to the updated version of the mod?

Thanks. Glad you like it!

Hi, Arsene-Lupin! I just RATED UP & Added this mod (and others) to:

" The Definitive D:OS2 Mod List (2018) "

Congrats & Thanks for your awesome mods!

Makes sense, wasnt sure about that

It's already compatible with all of Odinblade's mods. It won't affect the new presets, but remember, this is a classless game. So if you want the "Spectre" class preset for a new game, for example, all you have to do is write down the three starting skills (and talent/stat points if you feel like it) for the Spectre preset, and then customize any of the vanilla presets to have those skills. It'll take about 30 seconds at the most.

It also apprently doesnt work with ANY custom presets, just discovered. Only vanilla

Is there a possibility of making this mod compatible with Odinblade's class overhauls and added class presets?

Rated and Faved! Everyone should do same! :)

@Jared Wolfe: More.

@Whataninja: Yes. When you first recruit a companion they'll ask what class preset you want them to use (IE what the first few points are invested in), and will pull from the class preset files to do so. Alternatively you can use the one-preset only version from the Nexus, where the additional points ONLY apply to the wizard preset, so you can pick-and-choose which characters get the extra points or don't.

Does this give the extra points to characters added to the party later? For example if I pick up Red Prince in Fort Joy, will he get the bonus, too?

Is it more or less just changing variables in your code?

I could, but I won't. I'm already puttering about between six different Steam Workshop listings and two different Nexus listings, and I really don't want to add any more to that list.

You may want to check out my mods' listing on the DOS2 Nexus (or DE Nexus, it doesn't matter). At the bottom of the description I've got a section called "addendum" with a walkthrough detailing how to modify the class presets on your own. You could probably whip up your own modified presets in about 30 minutes with very little difficulty.

Can you do a version that does:

<> Increases available attribute points from 3 to 5.
<> Increases available combat skill points from 2 to 3.
<> Increases available civil skill points from 1 to 2.
<> Increases available talent points from 1 to 2.

Actually, looking at the mods again. I think Civil & Grace got overwritten by this mod, because even without it the Civil points remained the same. So it was just a bloatfile of a mod LOL.

I might add the "Stronger enemies" mod in adition to this. (I also have the Civil & Grace mod but I might uninstall it, everyone has a single max civil skill and that feels unbalanced to me)

@Jared, it will slightly tip the balance in your favor, especially early on, but the main reason I made this mod is because, like you, I wanted to boost my characters without "cheating" and completely breaking the difficulty curve.

TBH, though, if you're going to mod in a full party those two extra characters -will- break the balance. I'd advice either using the Civility & Grace mod, which only adds a few extra civility points, or using the one-preset only version of this mod (found at the Nexus) and only giving the player-character the extra points.

This mod does unbalance the beginning quite a bit. i would reccomend the one that just boosts civil points as QoL

Does this mod seem to make the game unbalanced? I'm playing Tactical Honour. I also plan to play with the mod for more players so i can have 6 people instead of 4. But I don't want to feel like a god amongst men...yet.

Thanks for the catch! Kinda of annoying having to keep track of so many different listings.

Need to edit your description, you've got this backwards.
"A Lucky Break" provides a significant boost (detailed below); you can find another version of this mod in the Workshop, "An Auspicious Beginning," which provides a lesser boost.
