Mod Request : Change NPC class

[theepan]

theres a couple of methods in which you can do this. You can go in and edit leliana's .chr file in the toolset. Tho, you'll also have to research to find the binary code for the mage skillsets, in order for it to set up her skills/talents/etc correctly. You could copy that info from either Wynn or Morrigan's .chr files.

 

the second method is by console command, tho I dont really recommend using the console very much.

 

third option- http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13 the typecaster. you equip it on the character you want to change (sans shale or dog) and then use it. it will randomly change the class of the character. Just keep using it until it rolls around to mage. Tho you may also have to use the ring of rebirth on her, to respec with new skills and whatnot.

 

Edit- tho I will mention this. I've found one bug with this method. If you dont deactivate metagame items before you start up a new character... class changes to a character have a chance to STICK with the new game. So deactivate the mod before starting a new character, unless you WANT to risk Leli being a mage in that game also.

I personally am an avid user of the console, and I've encountered no bugs with making a companion a different class...I made Leliana a mage once. Just make sure you use the "runscript magex" command, and not "runscript mage", because the latter will cause your inventory to disappear. It's a good idea to download the respecialization mod also, since using the console command gives you a bunch of random nonsensical skills and talents.
