N7nighthawkX Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm looking to try to make a custom class the Shadow Mage, but before I spend all that time trying I was wondering if it is even possible to do so. What I want to do is make a class that can use the dual weld skills of the Rouge and the primal magic of the Mage. I would like to include skills like lock pick and stealth as well. If someone has tried to make something like this please let me know if it can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgoy Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 If you are creating a custom class, then you must be doing it through the toolset, right? In theory, yes, you can do this. You will have to decide whether you will work off of stamina or mana. You will have to decide whether the rogue talents will work off of magic attribute or the spells will work off of dexterity/cunning. Once you have made your decision, you will have to duplicate/rewrite the spells or talents to work off of the attributes that you have decided on. If you don't duplicate/rewrite, you end up with a weak mage and a poor rogue since splitting the attribute points across so many attributes (strength, dexterity, cunning, magic, and spellpower) means that they character isn't particularly strong at anything.

N7nighthawkX Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Is there a youtube video that shows the steps to make a class? I'm reading the tutorial but I'm slightly dyslexic so i'm having a little trouble following it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgoy Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I don't know of a youtube video, but having read the toolset wiki for creating new class... I doubt that dyslexia is the reason that you are having trouble following it ;) I would suggest that you start with creating a new spell since you will need to create new spells (or talents) in order to create your new class.

N7nighthawkX Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Is there a simple way to add dual weld skills to the mage? That is the main thing I'm after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgoy Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 You would be adding all of the rogue talents and have the issue with the damage/attack for the weapons being based on dexterity/strength while spell damage is based on magic. I remember reading a reference to it in the DAO wiki. You'll have to look it up because I really don't remember where I read it. Probably somewhere in the information about the talents.
