EDIT::
is it possible to completely replace the premade classes with your own so they don't show up?

You can also download the asset pack to look at the definitions for all the standard races, classes, skills, and traits. The new items will appear on the party creation screen by default. There is also no need to keep all the standard races/classes/skills/traits in your mod, although you'll get a lot of console spam in the editor if you exclude default skills.

That's pretty cool, and unexpected. I'm genuinely surprised at that change in design. I'll have to examine that then.

Just tried it out and it works marvelously. [New tricks ]

If you want to start a class or race with the trait, just start them with the trait by adding it to their traits table. If you want to add shield_expert to battle mage, for example, just do this:

Code: Select all

defineCharClass{
	name = "battle_mage",	
	uiName = "Battle Mage",
	traits = { "hand_caster", "armor_expert", "staff_defence", "shield_expert" },
	optionalTraits = 2,
}

onRecomputeStats is called (almost) every frame and not in any well-defined order. That is why addStatModifier is normally the only state change that you make in it; it's specifically designed to be called from onRecomputeStats hooks.

defineCharClass{
       name = "bottle_mage",   
       uiName = "Bottle Mage",
       traits = { "hand_caster", "armor_expert", "staff_defence" },
       optionalTraits = 2,
    }

    defineTrait{
	name = "bottle_mage",
	uiName = "Bottle Mage",
	icon = 98,
	description = "........................................................",
	gameEffect = [[
	) Health 50 (+5 per level), Energy 60 (+7 per level)
	) Willpower +1 or Protection +1 / Lvl.
	) Staff and Wand skill +1.
	) (Armour Expert) Armour Weight is reduced 50%.
	) (Staff Defense) PRO & Resist All +10 if Stave or Runewand equipped.
	) (Hand Caster) You can cast without Runewands.]],
 	onRecomputeStats = function(champion, level)

		end
	end,
