This one has developed significantly. Instead of Religion, it's going to be Ritual, and the description is roughly:

This non-weapon proficiency represents training in religious, spiritual, mystical, martial or traditional rites allowing characters to draw upon their inner strength or various forces in the world to perform amazing feats. In order to perform a ritual, characters must make some kind of sacrifice, which is often material or personal. Certain rituals require specific materials, and many rituals strain the body or mind, inflicting damage or reducing fatigue of practitioners.

Perform Ritual

In order to perform a ritual, a character must meet the prerequisites necessary to perform that ritual. Often, special materials, a certain number of ranks in the ritual non-weapon proficiency, or membership of a particular class (or spellcasting class) are required.

Example rituals with requirements:

Warpaint: You apply war paint to yourself in anticipation of battle.
Requirements: Ritual: 1 rank; war paint. Class/Kit: Barbarian, Shaman, Berserker or Ranger only.
Cost: 1 war paint
Bonus: +1 Melee damage, +1 saves vs. spells for 1 turn

Practice: You take a round to perform a few deadly maneuvers with your primary weapon.
Requirements: Ritual: 1 rank; Class/Kit: non-Barbarian, non-Berserker or non-Ranger warriors only.
Cost: x fatigue
Bonus:
Cost: 1 war paint (20 gold?)
Bonus: +1 strike/damage for 1 turn

Bless Water: You give a moment of thanks to your deity as you bless a vial of water.
Requirements: Ritual: 1 rank; Class/Kit: non-evil cleric or paladin
Cost: 1 vial (20 gold?) Does d6/rank damage to undead and evil outsiders.

• Craft healing kits that can be used with healing skill (herbs degrade after a day or so).
• Higher levels, can create herbal brews/drugs that enhance drinker (i.e. in lieu of creating a healing kit)
• Assists with treating poisons and diseases (in conjunction with healing skill) ie characters are better with them if trained in both healing and herbalism
• Use poison (as assassin) at higher ranks
• Craft potions if spellcaster

Caused by numerous items (i.e. bladed weapons, maybe on crit)
x damage per round. Cured by any and all healing spells

Replace treat wound innate with depleting a potion like item that can be used to treat wounds based on heal skill
Should work for herbalists as well

Prob just have effects for healing based on heal and treat poisons etc based on herbalism

Heal (Wisdom)

Requirement: Cure/Inflict Bonus: Ability to cast any Cure Wounds or Inflict wounds spells.

This skill represents training in the medical arts. Individuals trained in healing are able to quickly diagnose and treat various injuries and sicknesses, whether caused by blade, poison or disease. This skill is most commonly taken by clerics and priests. While they can invoke the power of their faith to heal the sick and wounded, they often also study the more mundane, but natural sciences to heal their flock so they do not bother their deity with lesser illnesses and wounds. Warriors’ violent occupation also leads them to study the healing arts. Occasionally, characters from other professions will learn this skill, though they are typically not as skilled in the healing arts as a priest or warrior.
This skill has a natural synergy with herbalism, and herbalists are able to create more effective remedies if they are trained healers (see the herbalism skill for details). Conversely, healers trained in herbalism are more effective at treating diseases and poisons.
 
Treat Wounds
The healer can treat the injuries of <PRO_HISHER> allies on the fly. When <PRO_HESHE> uses this skill, <PRO_HESHE> heals 1d3 points of damage per point <PRO_HESHE> has in Heal, plus <PRO_HISHER> wisdom modifier. In addition, creatures that receive treatment from a healer heal at an increased rate. This ability is not magical, and it can only help a patient so much; it will only be effective on a single individual once per day.

The healer can make use of this ability 1 time per day if they have at least 1 rank in heal. This ability can be used an additional time per day for every two additional ranks <PRO_HESHE> has in heal.

Treat Affliction
Healers that are also trained in herbalism can use <PRO_HISHER> treat injury ability to treat poisons, and diseases, as well as wounds. This ability is not always effective, however, and the chance that the healer will successfully treat a poisoned individual is 50%, +5% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in herbalism. Diseases are much more complicated than poisons, and so the chance of success is only 40% +5% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in herbalism, plus <PRO_HISHER> wisdom modifier. Healers untrained in herbalism cannot treat disease or poison.

Treat Injury
This ability allows you to heal your allies, and possibly poisons and diseases if (and only if) you are trained in herbalism. Also, creatures under your care heal at an increased rate as per the table below.

• Heals 1d3 points/rank you have in healing, plus your wisdom modifier.
• Treat Poisons: 50% +5%/rank you have in herbalism, plus your wisdom modifier %.
• Treat Disease: 40% +5%/rank you have in herbalism, plus your wisdom modifier %.

Increased Healing Rate:
1 rank: 1 hit point per 16 turns.
2 ranks: 1 hit point per 8 turns.
3 ranks: 1 hit point per 4 turns.
4 ranks: 1 hit point per 2 turns.
5+ ranks: 1 hit point per turn.

Cure/Inflict Bonus
Healers that can also cast cure spells (any spell with the word “cure” in it’s title) are more capable with those spells if they are also trained in healing. Practitioners heal an additional 2 points per rank they have in healing when using any cure wounds spells. This bonus only counts up to the level of the spell, however. That is, for example, because Cure Light Wounds is a 1st level spell, it only allows the caster to apply 1 rank of healing to the spell, and thus can only heal an additional 2 points of damage. Similarly, priests can use their skill in healing to better hurt their opponents with inflict spells if they are trained in heal. They inflict additional damage equal to the the amount they would heal for a spell of the given level.

The Paladin can also apply this bonus to Lay on Hands.

Acid, Makeshift
Acid burns, and can cause a lot of damage if left to burn over a period of time. Like alchemist fire, acid is carefully packed it into a breakable, usually glass, container. When thrown, the glass bursts upon impact, covering the target with burning acid. On the first round hit, the target takes 1d4 acid damage, and again takes 1d4 damage for a number of rounds equal to the number of ranks the crafter has in alchemy. Each round after the first, the target can save vs. wands (with a penalty equal to the creator's intelligence bonus) to prevent further damage.

Alchemist's Fire, Makeshift
The paradigmatic alchemist's substance, Alchemist's Fire bursts into flames when exposed to air. The alchemist carefully packs it into a breakable, usually glass, container. When thrown, the glass bursts open, and the substance explodes damaging all nearby creatures in a mini explosion. Alchemists fire does fire damage equal to 1d6 fire damage +1d6 fire damage per rank the character has in alchemy (save vs. wands for half damage with a penalty equal to the creator's intelligence bonus).

Tanglefoot Bag
A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When the alchemist throws a tanglefoot bag at a creature, the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target if they do not make their save. Entangled targets are unable to move for a number of rounds equal the number of ranks the character has in alchemy if they do not save vs. paralysis (with a penalty equal to creator's intelligence modifier). Targets that save see their movement halved for 1 round. As it is only necessary to hit the target for the bag to be effective, the alchemist gets a +4 bonus to hit.

Thunderstone
A thunderstone is a normal looking stone that emits a loud burst of sound when it hits a hard surface, potentially deafening any nearby creatures. Creatures within 15' of the burst must save vs. wands or be deafened for a number of rounds equal to 5 + the number of ranks the crafter has in alchemy. Saves are made with a penalty equal to the intelligence bonus of the crafter. This item need not strike a creature to be effective, and there is no to hit role necessary.

Alchemy (Intelligence)

Requirements: Concoct Elixir: Spellcaster or Concoct Elixir HLA

Alchemy involves advanced training in the handling of magical or quasi-magical substances that often have harmful or surprising effects.

Craft Alchemical Items
Given time, magical skill and materials, an alchemist can concoct magical elixirs, which emulate spells. (see the section below on concoct elixir for details).

Even on the road, and without exotic materials, however, they always have a trick—or a bomb—up their sleeve that they can use in a pinch. Alchemists collect various regents in their travels and can use these regents to create 1 alchemical item per day per rank they have in Alchemy. These creations are unstable and do not last longer than 8 hours. Additionally, only characters trained in alchemy can use them. All effects can be avoided or lessened with a save vs. rod/staff/wand, though the save has a penalty equal to the Alchemists’ intelligence bonus. The items that the alchemist can create, and the number of ranks that are required for creation are as follows:

Skills & Proficiencies

This mod aims to increase player options by adding or modifying skills, non-weapon proficiencies, or skill like 'pseudo-skills'. Additionally, this mod introduces modifications to other skill-like abilities, and allows more or less 'talented' characters by giving bonuses or penalties to different abilities based on their attributes or other talents.

Special Note: EEex

This mod does not require EEex , but many of the components will either work best with EEex installed, or will unfortunately be dependent on EEex (because there is no other reasonable way to implement the component). As such, I encourage you to click on the link and install EEex if you are able.

Components Overview

Skills & Proficiencies: 101-106: Main Component

This group of components deal with the main theme of this mod: non-weapon proficiencies. However, proficiencies can (and have been) implemented in different ways in this engine, and so the user needs to decide which version works best for them.

The general description of each component can be found below. For a more in depth description of each, see the following sections.

Known Issues (Main Component):

Skills & Proficiencies: 201 - ???: Expanded Abilities and Attributes

This group of components modify special abilities, especially 'skill-like', special abilities or make attributes (especially non physical attributes) more meaningful by granting modifiers to abilities and skills based on the characters attribute scores. For components that convert certain abilities to skills, see the following section (Expanded Skills).

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Known Issues (Expanded Abilities and Attributes):

• 201: Attributes: Illusion immunity for high int: This component changes Shadow Creatures to Illusory creatures allowing players to bypass the normal limits on summoned monsters (i.e. they will be able to summon the maximum plus any creatures summoned by these summon spells.)

Skills & Proficiencies: 2001 - ???: Expanded Skills

Heavily inspired by OlvynChuru's epic thieving mod, and largely impossible without OlvynChuru's contributions to EEex, these components seek to expand rogue skills in some way, whether by allowing choice where there wasn't choice before, by expanding what a player can do with their skills (or both), or even restricting a skill or skill-like ability in some way.

This group of components adds (thief-like) class skills to the game or modifies class skill points to be distributed differently, or allows other classes to perform them where possible.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in Skills & Proficiencies and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Note: Skill Point Distribution

Many of these components give skills to classes that either already have at least one skill, or that do not normally have any skills at all. In any case where a given kit or class has exactly one skill, they will gain points to that skill at a set rate by level. However, wherever a given kit or class gains two or more skills, or where they gain at least one skill where they already have at least one skill, they can distribute skills as a thief. This rate is set by class or kit, and does not change by the number of skills that they have, so the character may have to specialize. The rate at which kits or classes gain skill points is determined by the table below. Note that any mod kits will have the same skill point distribution as the base class if they are not specifically mentioned (let me know if there are any kit mods that need special attention).

Also, magic item creation skills do not count toward this limit.

Thieves actually gain a few more skill points if they gain access to any of the new offered skills. If they gain even a single skill described in this section, they will gain skill points at the increased rate below:

Single Skill: Skill advancement if (and only if) the class has a single skill.
Skill Points at 1st Level: Skill % at first level iff they can distribute points.
Skill Points gained per Level: Skill % gained each level after first iff they can distribute points.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Known Issues (Expanded Skills):

• EEex expanded skills in BGEE: These components may not work properly in non-SOD BGEE. This is an EEex issue, and cannot be fixed on my end (er, I don't know how to fix it).

• Thief Skills: Use Scrolls:

• 'Component 1901: Use scrolls - 10th level' will not display for a character created in Throne of Bhaal. The skill will display upon level up, however.

• 'Component 1902: Use scrolls - no level requirement' is likely overpowered. Use at your discretion.

Skills & Proficiencies: 4001 - ???: Magic Item Creation

This group of components deal with magic item creation and recharging. These components allow players to create scrolls, potions and wands, and they allow players to recharge wands. There are a number of different creation subsystems for each, and users can install different subsystems for different items. These components can also interact with the proficiency system (see below for details).

This component adds new magic items, and item creation.
The general description of each component can be found below. For a more in depth description of each, see the following sections.

Note

The added items are identical to those added by Spells and Magic and B_Kits. However, consumable magic items--in particular scrolls and wands--work slightly differently in these three mods. These mods are completely compatible, however, and any changes will be noted in the description.

Known Issues (Magic Item Creation):

Skills & Proficiencies: ??? - ???: High Level Abilities

This group of components deal with high level abilities, either adding new HLAs, modifying existing HLAs, or both.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Known Issues (High Level Abilities):

Skills & Proficiencies: 6001 - ???: Limitations

This group of components actually reduce player ability in some way. They are intended to be installed with the above enhancement components, in order to preserve some kind of balance. However, they can be installed without the bonuses, or not at all as you prefer.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Known Issues (Limitations):

Fear like. Cured by any cure fear effect

Proficiencies

Characters can now learn something other than how to fight better. Characters can spend proficiency points in other proficiencies referred to as Non-Weapon Proficiencies (sometimes just called “skills”, though there can be a distinction--see below) as well as Weapon Proficiencies. That said, even Weapon Proficiences have additional functionality.

Proficiency Tables

Characters must select both weapon proficiencies and non-weapon proficiencies from the same pool. As such, characters receive many more proficiency points than in vanilla. While this may seem to be a boon, characters will soon discover that they will have to make hard choices as they level up.

Proficiency Descriptions

Special Note: Non-Weapon Proficiencies and Attributes

Non-Weapon Proficiencies are associated with various attributes, and often that ability influences how effective the character is with that proficiency. Attributes typically affect proficiencies based on the following table:

Alchemist: mage kit. Transmutation specialist. Can create unique alchemical items and can gain 7 ranks in alch. Penalty?

The character gains a +1 bonus to damage for every rank <PRO_HESHE> assigns to this skill to ranged damage rolls. In addition, Hunters learn to be aware of their surroundings. For every two ranks a character has in Hunting, <PRO_HESHE> receives a +1 bonus to saves vs. breath, and a +5 bonus to find traps and detect illusions (only useful if they have such skills). A character that has four ranks in hunting gains a +1 bonus to AC.

Endurance (Constitution)

Requirements: None

Training in endurance allows characters to recover stamina and hit points by taking a break.

Second Wind

Upon using this ability, the character takes a moment to catch <PRO_HISHER> breath. When <PRO_HESHE> does this, <PRO_HESHE> recovers a number of hit points equal to 25% +10% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in Endurance to <PRO_HISHER> hit point total. Additionally, <PRO_HISHER> fatigue level is reduced by 50% +10% per rank (maximum 100%)<PRO_HESHE> has in endurance. This ability cannot be used in combat.

<PRO_HESHE> can use this ability one time per day. <PRO_HESHE> can use this ability one additional time per day if <PRO_HESHE> has 5 ranks in Endurance and <PRO_HESHE> can use this ability a third time if <PRO_HESHE> has 7 ranks in Endurance.

• Includes 'wild empathy'.
• Allows one to acquire and 'train' animal companions.

Acid, Makeshift
Acid burns, and can cause a lot of damage if left to burn over a period of time. Like alchemist fire, acid is carefully packed it into a breakable, usually glass, container. When thrown, the glass bursts upon impact, covering the target with burning acid. On the first round hit, the target takes 1d4 acid damage, and again takes 1d4 damage for a number of rounds equal to the number of ranks the crafter has in alchemy. Each round after the first, the target can save vs. wands (with a penalty equal to the creator's intelligence bonus) to prevent further damage.

The paradigmatic alchemist's substance, Alchemist's Fire bursts into flames when exposed to air. The alchemist carefully packs it into a breakable, usually glass, container. When thrown, the glass bursts open, and the substance explodes damaging all nearby creatures in a mini explosion.

Tanglefoot Bag
A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When the alchemist throws a tanglefoot bag at a creature, the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target if they do not make their save. Entangled targets are unable to move for a number of rounds equal the number of ranks the character has in alchemy if they do not save vs. paralysis (with a penalty equal to creator's intelligence modifier). Targets that save see their movement halved for 1 round. As it is only necessary to hit the target for the bag to be effective, the alchemist gets a +4 bonus to hit.

Craft Alchemical Item

Concoct Elixir

Requirements: Must be a Spellcaster or have the Concoct Elixir HLA

Endurance Proficiency (Constitution)

Requirements: None

Endurance represents training to withstand heavy exertion and physical punishment. It is probably the quintessential proficiency of warriors, though a smattering of other classes can specialize in endurance. Characters trained in endurance can go farther, faster, and for longer periods than others. This nonweapon proficiency allows characters to take a ‘break’ to recover hit points and stamina, and even, at higher ranks, have a chance to purge their bodies of poison and disease. In addition, characters receive bonus hit points equal to 3 hit points per rank.

Second Wind

Upon using this ability, the character takes a moment to catch <PRO_HISHER> breath. When <PRO_HESHE> does this, <PRO_HESHE> recovers a number of hit points equal to 25% +10% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in Endurance (max +50% at 5 ranks), plus <PRO_HISHER> constitution modifier to <PRO_HISHER> hit point total. Additionally, <PRO_HISHER> fatigue level is reset to 1.

At 6 ranks, the character can try to purge their body of deleterious poisons when using Second Wind. The chance of success is 60% plus <PRO_HISHER> Constitution modifier.

At 7 ranks, the character can try to purge <PRO_HISHER> body of disease when they use Second Wind. <PRO_HISHER> chance of success is 35% plus <PRO_HISHER> Constitution modifier.

This ability cannot be used in combat or when enemies are present.

Effect: Heals 25% of target's max hit points, +10% per rank, plus Constitution Modifier.

Chance of Success:
Poison (6 ranks) 60% + Constitution Modifier.
Disease (7 ranks) 35% + Constitution Modifier.

This ability can be used one time per 24 hour period, if the character has 1 or 2 ranks in endurance. If <PRO_HESHE> has 5 ranks in endurance, Second Wind can be used once per 16 hour period. If <PRO_HESHE> has 7 ranks in endurance, Second Wind can be used once per 8 hour period.

Second Wind

Upon using this ability, the you take a moment to catch your breath, recovering a number of hit points equal to 25% +10% per rank you have in Endurance to your hit point total. Additionally, your fatigue level is reset to 1. This ability cannot be used in combat.

You can use this ability one time per day if you have 4 or fewer ranks in endurance. If you have 5-6 ranks, you can use this ability once per 16 hour period. If you have 7 ranks in endurance, you can use this ability once per 8 hour period.

Heal (Wisdom)

Requirement: Cure/Inflict Bonus: Ability to cast any Cure Wounds or Inflict wounds spells.

This skill represents training in the medical arts. Individuals trained in healing are able to quickly diagnose and treat various injuries and sicknesses, whether caused by blade, poison or disease. This skill is most commonly taken by clerics and priests. While they can invoke the power of their faith to heal the sick and wounded, they often also study the more mundane, but natural sciences to heal their flock so they do not bother their deity with lesser illnesses and wounds. Warriors’ violent occupation also leads them to study the healing arts. Occasionally, characters from other professions will learn this skill, though they are typically not as skilled in the healing arts as a priest or warrior.

This skill has a natural synergy with herbalism, and herbalists are able to create more effective remedies if they are trained healers (see the herbalism skill for details). Conversely, healers trained in herbalism are more effective at treating diseases and poisons.
 

Treat Wounds

The healer can treat the injuries of <PRO_HISHER> allies on the fly. When <PRO_HESHE> uses this skill, <PRO_HESHE> heals 1d3 points of damage per point <PRO_HESHE> has in Heal, plus <PRO_HISHER> wisdom modifier. In addition, creatures that receive treatment from a healer heal at an increased rate. This ability is not magical, and it can only help a patient so much; it will only be effective on a single individual once per day.

The healer can make use of this ability 1 time per day if they have at least 1 rank in heal. This ability can be used an additional time per day for every two additional ranks <PRO_HESHE> has in heal.

Treat Affliction

Healers that are also trained in herbalism can use <PRO_HISHER> treat injury ability to treat poisons, and diseases, as well as wounds. This ability is not always effective, however, and the chance that the healer will successfully treat a poisoned individual is 50%, +5% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in herbalism. Diseases are much more complicated than poisons, and so the chance of success is only 40% +5% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in herbalism, plus <PRO_HISHER> wisdom modifier. Healers untrained in herbalism cannot treat disease or poison.

Treat Injury
This ability allows you to heal your allies, and possibly poisons and diseases if (and only if) you are trained in herbalism. Also, creatures under your care heal at an increased rate as per the table below.

• Heals 1d3 points/rank you have in healing, plus your wisdom modifier.
• Treat Poisons: 50% +5%/rank you have in herbalism, plus your wisdom modifier %.
• Treat Disease: 40% +5%/rank you have in herbalism, plus your wisdom modifier %.

Increased Healing Rate:
1 rank: 1 hit point per 16 turns.
2 ranks: 1 hit point per 8 turns.
3 ranks: 1 hit point per 4 turns.
4 ranks: 1 hit point per 2 turns.
5+ ranks: 1 hit point per turn.

Cure/Inflict Bonus

Healers that can also cast cure spells (any spell with the word “cure” in it’s title) are more capable with those spells if they are also trained in healing. Practitioners heal an additional 2 points per rank they have in healing when using any cure wounds spells. This bonus only counts up to the level of the spell, however. That is, for example, because Cure Light Wounds is a 1st level spell, it only allows the caster to apply 1 rank of healing to the spell, and thus can only heal an additional 2 points of damage. Similarly, priests can use their skill in healing to better hurt their opponents with inflict spells if they are trained in heal. They inflict additional damage equal to the the amount they would heal for a spell of the given level.

The Paladin can also apply this bonus to Lay on Hands.

Herbalism Proficiency (Intelligence)

Requirement: Brew Potion: Spellcaster or Brew Potion HLA

This skill represents training with identifying and using various natural herbs and plants to prevent and treat various illnesses. Herbalists are always on the lookout for rare and exotic plants, and they can always whip up a concoction that they can use to treat various illnesses and produce various effects. These concoctions denature if they are not used within a short period of time. Additionally, herbalists can create magic potions if they can cast spells, or posses the ability to cast spells, or has the Brew Potions HLA.

This skill has a natural synergy with heal, and herbalists are able to create more effective remedies if they are trained healers. Specifically, herbalists concoctions heal their target a number of hit points equal to 2x <PRO_HISHER> ranks in healing. Conversely, healers trained in herbalism are more effective at treating diseases and poisons. (See the heal skill for details).

Prepare Concoction

Herbalists gather numerous natural medicines in their travels that can be combined in numerous ways when the occasion calls to heal the sick, benefit recipients, or even harm enemies. These items degrade quickly, and last a maximum of 1 hour per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in herbalism. A herbalist can prepare one concoction per day per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in Herbalism, plus <PRO_HISHER> ranks in intelligence.

Concoctions cannot be prepared in combat. However, once prepared, a concoction can be employed in combat.

The herbalist can create the following concoctions based on proficiency:

Alchemy (Intelligence)

Requirements: Concoct Elixir: Spellcaster or Concoct Elixir HLA

Alchemy involves advanced training in the handling of magical or quasi-magical substances that often have harmful or surprising effects.
Craft Alchemical Items
Given time, magical skill and materials, an alchemist can concoct magical elixirs, which emulate spells. (see the section below on concoct elixir for details).

Even on the road, and without exotic materials, however, they always have a trick—or a bomb—up their sleeve that they can use in a pinch. Alchemists collect various regents in their travels and can use these regents to create 1 alchemical item per day per rank they have in Alchemy. These creations are unstable and do not last longer than 8 hours. Additionally, only characters trained in alchemy can use them. All effects can be avoided or lessened with a save vs. rod/staff/wand, though the save has a penalty equal to the Alchemists’ intelligence bonus. The items that the alchemist can create, and the number of ranks that are required for creation are as follows:

Acid, Makeshift
Acid burns, and can cause a lot of damage if left to burn over a period of time. Like alchemist fire, acid is carefully packed it into a breakable, usually glass, container. When thrown it, the glass bursts open covering the target with burning acid.

Nature Lore

Wild Empathy: Charm Beasts (Survival?)

Give use at 1, 3, 5 and 7 ranks. Charms with penalty equal to wisdom or charisma (whichever is higher) of character (replaces standard druid ability which they do get for free as normal). Can charm 'beasts' at 4+(?) ranks, allowing them to charm animal like beasts and magical creatures such as wyverns, etc. (or maybe stuns or fear effect?) But, the beast gets a +4 bonus to save (minus the cha/wis penalty). Creatures can only be affected by wild empathy 1x per day.

At 6+ ranks, plants can be affected (with a +6 to save).

Gather Herbs: Able to gather ingredients for Herbalism/Alchemy skills (and/or that may work as remedies on their own) Not sure about this one tbh. Maybe this can act as a 'buff' of sorts to herbal concoctions and alchemical mixtures (I kinda like that, even if its going to be a pita to implement).

Augment Summoning: Summoned animals stronger. Effectively gain a +1 to HD/thac0/saves per rank the summoner has in Nature Lore.

Stronger Animal Form: Druidic shapechanging forms (and animal/elemental forms granted by certain spells) are stronger if cast by someone knowledgeable in nature lore. Specific bonuses??? Bonus to str (+1 per 2 ranks), ...

Woodland Stride: Bonus to save vs. impediment spells, poisons and vs. traps. (+1/rank)

Proficiency Overview

Caused by blunt weapons.

Cured whenever paralysis is cured...

Slow effect (usually 1 round)

Monks: Pick locks, disable traps, detect illusion (hear noise). (1e ad&d)
Barbarians: Hide in Natural Surroundings, Detect Illusions, Tracking, Set Natural Snares (1e ad&d)
Rangers: Set natural Snares, Hide in Natural Surroundings, Tracking,
Bards: Lock Picking
Wiz slayer/Inquisitor: Detect illusions

Investigate. Could be even better w/EEex.

• Use Scroll (limited by attributes, alignment and rank level--lev = rank)
• Emulate Spell (allows one to scribe a spell that is not currently memorized. Costs fatigue depending on spell level, max level = rank. Involves replacing scribe scroll with invisible monster that sets a variable)

• Groups (similar to Baldurs gate--but different!) Not compatible with other weapon group tweaks.
• Special effects with critical (edged bleeding, spears knock down, blunt stun, etc.)
• Can repair/build weapons one is proficient with

• Bonus damage to ranged attacks
• Bonus to detect illusions and traps
• Bonus to saves vs breath and AC

Proficiencies

(aka Mundane)

Overview

The goal is also to free up play space to allow players to more feasibly use the party of their preference by opening up options for all characters through the use of skills. Don't want a priest, but need the essential healing they offer? Train one of your warriors in the Heal nonweapon proficiency. Don't want (or have) a mage, but want some of that battle control? Train in alchemy and implements.

This mod aims to expand the proficiency system in Infinity Engine games, allowing characters to do things like treat injuries and antitoxins with varying degrees of effectiveness. But this mod does not merely add ‘non-weapon proficiencies’. This is a top down revision of the proficiency system that allows characters to do things with their weapons previously impossible without specific magical weapons. Skilled characters can stun enemies with their blunt weapons, cause grievous bleeding wounds with their bladed weapons, and so on. (may have room for 3 more non-weapon profs…)

Engine and Mod Compatibiltiy:

Install Proficiencies either before or after the following mods:

• Faiths and Powers
• Spells and Magic

Spells and Magic should be installed after the following mods to minimize conflicts:

• Spell Revisions (v4 beta or later) (?)
• IWDification (?)
• More Style for Mages (?)
• Tome and Blood (?)
• Deities of Faerûn (?)

Spells and Magic should be installed before the following mods:

Magic Item Creation and Additional Magic Items

Note: The added items are identical to those added by Spells and Magic and B_Kits. However, consumable magic items--in particular scrolls and wands--work slightly differently in these three mods. These mods are completely compatible, however, and any changes will be noted in the description.

This component adds new magic items, and item creation.

Slower because they need to be lit and don't do as much dam as fire arrows (i.e. the magic version)

• Intimidate, bluff and diplomacy

Acid, Makeshift
Acid burns, and can cause a lot of damage if left to burn over a period of time. Like alchemist fire, acid is carefully packed it into a breakable, usually glass, container. When thrown, the glass bursts upon impact, covering the target with burning acid. On the first round hit, the target takes 1d4 acid damage, and again takes 1d4 damage for a number of rounds equal to the number of ranks the crafter has in alchemy. Each round after the first, the target can save vs. wands (with a penalty equal to the creator's intelligence bonus) to prevent further damage.

Alchemist's Fire, Makeshift
The paradigmatic alchemist's substance, Alchemist's Fire bursts into flames when exposed to air. The alchemist carefully packs it into a breakable, usually glass, container. When thrown, the glass bursts open, and the substance explodes damaging all nearby creatures in a mini explosion. Alchemists fire does fire damage equal to 1d6 fire damage +1d6 fire damage per rank the character has in alchemy (save vs. wands for half damage with a penalty equal to the creator's intelligence bonus).

Tanglefoot Bag
A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When the alchemist throws a tanglefoot bag at a creature, the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target if they do not make their save. Entangled targets are unable to move for a number of rounds equal the number of ranks the character has in alchemy if they do not save vs. paralysis (with a penalty equal to creator's intelligence modifier). Targets that save see their movement halved for 1 round. As it is only necessary to hit the target for the bag to be effective, the alchemist gets a +4 bonus to hit.

Thunderstone
A thunderstone is a normal looking stone that emits a loud burst of sound when it hits a hard surface, potentially deafening any nearby creatures. Creatures within 15' of the burst must save vs. wands or be deafened for a number of rounds equal to 5 + the number of ranks the crafter has in alchemy. Saves are made with a penalty equal to the intelligence bonus of the crafter. This item need not strike a creature to be effective, and there is no to hit role necessary.

Heal (Wisdom)

Requirement: Cure/Inflict Bonus: Ability to cast any Cure Wounds or Inflict wounds spells.

This skill represents training in the medical arts. Individuals trained in healing are able to quickly diagnose and treat various injuries and sicknesses, whether caused by blade, poison or disease. This skill is most commonly taken by clerics and priests. While they can invoke the power of their faith to heal the sick and wounded, they often also study the more mundane, but natural sciences to heal their flock so they do not bother their deity with lesser illnesses and wounds. Warriors’ violent occupation also leads them to study the healing arts. Occasionally, characters from other professions will learn this skill, though they are typically not as skilled in the healing arts as a priest or warrior.
This skill has a natural synergy with herbalism, and herbalists are able to create more effective remedies if they are trained healers (see the herbalism skill for details). Conversely, healers trained in herbalism are more effective at treating diseases and poisons.
 

Treat Wounds

The healer can treat the injuries of <PRO_HISHER> allies on the fly. When <PRO_HESHE> uses this skill, <PRO_HESHE> heals 1d3 points of damage per point <PRO_HESHE> has in Heal, plus <PRO_HISHER> wisdom modifier. In addition, creatures that receive treatment from a healer heal at an increased rate. This ability is not magical, and it can only help a patient so much; it will only be effective on a single individual once per day.

The healer can make use of this ability 1 time per day if they have at least 1 rank in heal. This ability can be used an additional time per day for every two additional ranks <PRO_HESHE> has in heal.

Treat Affliction

Healers that are also trained in herbalism can use <PRO_HISHER> treat injury ability to treat poisons, and diseases, as well as wounds. This ability is not always effective, however, and the chance that the healer will successfully treat a poisoned individual is 50%, +5% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in herbalism. Diseases are much more complicated than poisons, and so the chance of success is only 40% +5% per rank <PRO_HESHE> has in herbalism, plus <PRO_HISHER> wisdom modifier. Healers untrained in herbalism cannot treat disease or poison.

Treat Injury
This ability allows you to heal your allies, and possibly poisons and diseases if (and only if) you are trained in herbalism. Also, creatures under your care heal at an increased rate as per the table below.

• Heals 1d3 points/rank you have in healing, plus your wisdom modifier.
• Treat Poisons: 50% +5%/rank you have in herbalism, plus your wisdom modifier %.
• Treat Disease: 40% +5%/rank you have in herbalism, plus your wisdom modifier %.

Increased Healing Rate:
1 rank: 1 hit point per 16 turns.
2 ranks: 1 hit point per 8 turns.
3 ranks: 1 hit point per 4 turns.
4 ranks: 1 hit point per 2 turns.
5+ ranks: 1 hit point per turn.

Cure/Inflict Bonus

Healers that can also cast cure spells (any spell with the word “cure” in it’s title) are more capable with those spells if they are also trained in healing. Practitioners heal an additional 2 points per rank they have in healing when using any cure wounds spells. This bonus only counts up to the level of the spell, however. That is, for example, because Cure Light Wounds is a 1st level spell, it only allows the caster to apply 1 rank of healing to the spell, and thus can only heal an additional 2 points of damage. Similarly, priests can use their skill in healing to better hurt their opponents with inflict spells if they are trained in heal. They inflict additional damage equal to the the amount they would heal for a spell of the given level.

The Paladin can also apply this bonus to Lay on Hands.

• Allows one to effectively use armor (unprof can use armor but with hefty penalties). Use still limited by class unless universal use component is installed

as it says

Skills & Proficiencies

This mod aims to increase player options by adding or modifying skills, non-weapon proficiencies, or skill like 'pseudo-skills'. Additionally, this mod introduces modifications to other skill-like abilities, and allows more or less 'talented' characters by giving bonuses or penalties to different abilities based on their attributes or other talents.

Special Note: EEex

This mod does not require EEex , but many of the components will either work best with EEex installed, or will unfortunately be dependent on EEex (because there is no other reasonable way to implement the component). As such, I encourage you to click on the link and install EEex if you are able.

Components Overview

Skills & Proficiencies: 101-106: Main Component

This group of components deal with the main theme of this mod: non-weapon proficiencies. However, proficiencies can (and have been) implemented in different ways in this engine, and so the user needs to decide which version works best for them.

The general description of each component can be found below. For a more in depth description of each, see the following sections.

Known Issues (Main Component):

Skills & Proficiencies: 201 - ???: Expanded Abilities and Attributes

This group of components modify special abilities, especially 'skill-like', special abilities or make attributes (especially non physical attributes) more meaningful by granting modifiers to abilities and skills based on the characters attribute scores. For components that convert certain abilities to skills, see the following section (Expanded Skills).

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Known Issues (Expanded Abilities and Attributes):

• 201: Attributes: Illusion immunity for high int: This component changes Shadow Creatures to Illusory creatures allowing players to bypass the normal limits on summoned monsters (i.e. they will be able to summon the maximum plus any creatures summoned by these summon spells.)

Skills & Proficiencies: 2001 - ???: Expanded Skills

Heavily inspired by OlvynChuru's epic thieving mod, and largely impossible without OlvynChuru's contributions to EEex, these components seek to expand rogue skills in some way, whether by allowing choice where there wasn't choice before, by expanding what a player can do with their skills (or both), or even restricting a skill or skill-like ability in some way.

This group of components adds (thief-like) class skills to the game or modifies class skill points to be distributed differently, or allows other classes to perform them where possible.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in Skills & Proficiencies and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Note: Skill Point Distribution

Many of these components give skills to classes that either already have at least one skill, or that do not normally have any skills at all. In any case where a given kit or class has exactly one skill, they will gain points to that skill at a set rate by level. However, wherever a given kit or class gains two or more skills, or where they gain at least one skill where they already have at least one skill, they can distribute skills as a thief. This rate is set by class or kit, and does not change by the number of skills that they have, so the character may have to specialize. The rate at which kits or classes gain skill points is determined by the table below. Note that any mod kits will have the same skill point distribution as the base class if they are not specifically mentioned (let me know if there are any kit mods that need special attention).

Also, magic item creation skills do not count toward this limit.

Thieves actually gain a few more skill points if they gain access to any of the new offered skills. If they gain even a single skill described in this section, they will gain skill points at the increased rate below:

Single Skill: Skill advancement if (and only if) the class has a single skill.
Skill Points at 1st Level: Skill % at first level iff they can distribute points.
Skill Points gained per Level: Skill % gained each level after first iff they can distribute points.

Known Issues (Expanded Skills):

• EEex expanded skills in BGEE: These components may not work properly in non-SOD BGEE. This is an EEex issue, and cannot be fixed on my end (er, I don't know how to fix it).

• Thief Skills: Use Scrolls:

• 'Component 1901: Use scrolls - 10th level' will not display for a character created in Throne of Bhaal. The skill will display upon level up, however.

• 'Component 1902: Use scrolls - no level requirement' is likely overpowered. Use at your discretion.

Skills & Proficiencies: 3001-????: Thief skills for regular Joes

This group of components give thief skills to non-thief characters (as much as possible). For the most part, it does not give all thief skills to all characters, but where thematically appropriate or where there is a reasonable pnp precedent, I will try to implement it (let me know if you have any ideas!) Many of these skills are limited in some manner, and a few of these components even limit current skill usage. For example, the Hide in Natural Surroundings components only allow a character to hide outdoors. That's useful, to be sure, but less useful than the thief skill.

The general description of each component can be found below. For a more in depth description of each, see the following sections.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Known Issues (Thief skills for regular Joes):

Skills & Proficiencies: 4001 - ???: Magic Item Creation

This group of components deal with magic item creation and recharging. These components allow players to create scrolls, potions and wands, and they allow players to recharge wands. There are a number of different creation subsystems for each, and users can install different subsystems for different items. These components can also interact with the proficiency system (see below for details).

This component adds new magic items, and item creation.

Note

The added items are identical to those added by Spells and Magic and B_Kits. However, consumable magic items--in particular scrolls and wands--work slightly differently in these three mods. These mods are completely compatible, however, and any changes will be noted in the description.

Known Issues (Magic Item Creation):

Skills & Proficiencies: ??? - ???: High Level Abilities

This group of components deal with high level abilities, either adding new HLAs, modifying existing HLAs, or both.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Known Issues (High Level Abilities):

Skills & Proficiencies: 6001 - ???: Limitations

This group of components actually reduce player ability in some way. They are intended to be installed with the above enhancement components, in order to preserve some kind of balance. However, they can be installed without the bonuses, or not at all as you prefer.

Note

These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).

Grrr, where are my notes on this? Requires 4 custom stats.

Level 10 stat: Required to put ranks in skill. Set by thieves at level 10.
Mage stat: Stat required to use mage scrolls. Automatically set for mages, sorcerers and bards. Values of 1 allows level 1 scrolls up to 9 allowing level 9 scrolls inclusive. Mages sorcerers and bards (though allow for bards to only have access to up to lev 6 scrolls) have max value. Each 10 points in Use Scroll increments the value of this stat by 1 for thieves (so, 10 points allows lev 1 scrolls, etc.--if zero lev scrolls in game (from magic and spells) then 1 point allows thieves to use those--maybe the values of this should be 0-11 (for poss cantrips and 10th level scrolls).
Priest stat: For cleric spells. Set to max value for clerics (and optionally for paladins). Probably not druids (though, if druid scrolls are added, will need another stat). Increments by 1 for every 15 points in use scroll stat (except gets a value for use with lev 7 scrolls at 99).
Use Scrolls Stat: Sets priest and/or mage stats depending on value.

Optionally, should include priest scroll component from S&M.

Bardic Knowledge: Maybe just lore, and maybe just allow bards to add to it... (can be used instead of various int checks), but also grant a bonus to Lore. Bards should start with a non-zero boni and thieves should be able to use it (because, why not?)

Bartering: ???
Can I change prices 'on the fly' through dialog (or lua)? Can I use the stat value as a variable for % to activate a particular response?

Packrat: ????????
Can I do anything with stat 71 Encumbrance? Seems unlikely. Wouldn't adding to that stat just increase encumbrance? And, a negative result would be bad. But, maybe a custom stat could lower encumbrance by a percentage????

Hunting (Dexterity)
Requirements: Hunter: Can only make effective use of find traps and detect illusions skills if they have the requisite skills.

This skill represents training in tracking and taking down game. This skill is also useful, however, for taking down any target. Characters gain a number of combat bonuses (see below), they can set natural snares (see below) and craft special (and normal) ammunition (see below).

Hunter

The character gains a +1 bonus to damage for every rank <PRO_HESHE> assigns to this skill to ranged damage rolls. In addition, Hunters learn to be aware of their surroundings. For every two ranks a character has in Hunting, <PRO_HESHE> receives a +1 bonus to saves vs. breath, and a +5 bonus to find traps and detect illusions (only useful if they have such skills). A character that has four ranks in hunting gains a +1 bonus to AC.

Set Natural Snares

When the character reaches 3 ranks in this skill, they can set natural snares. They gain a +20% bonus to set snares (+20% for each additional rank), and they gain the special ability to set natural snares. Set natural snares work just like set snares, except it is only effective in outdoor environments.

Craft Ammunition

Hunters can craft normal, and (at high rankings) advanced ammunition for any ranged weapon:

• Includes 'wild empathy'.
• Allows one to acquire and 'train' animal companions.
• Set Natural Snares
• Alertness: This skill represents alertness. Each time the character puts a rank in to appraisal, they receive a +1 bonus to saves vs. breath, and a +5 bonus to + <PRO_HISHER> wisdom modifier bonus to find traps and detect illusions (only useful if they are a thief). A character that has four ranks in alertness gains a +1 bonus to AC

Animal Handling (Charisma)

Requirements: None

Animal Handling is the skill of getting animals, and, in some cases, other beasts, to do what you want them to do. Animal Handling is useful for calming down hostile animals in the wild, training your own pets and beasts as war machines or thieves, or even adopting a wild beast as a companion.

Mundane mod: General idea to reduce magic dependency/christmas tree characters
Ultimate goal is to make it possible to go through the game without a single magic item

	- General items: 
			- Get rock: anybody can pick up a rock and throw it
			- Braciers: +1 defend vs. melee attacks

	- Reduced magic: Low level magic items converted to high quality mundane items
		- Masterwork weapons: + x to hit and damage (perhaps different sorts of modifications)
			- General: special materials (mostly to hurt unique creatures)
			
			- Blades:
				- Sharp Blade: +1 dam
				- Serrated blade: +3 dam/-1 spd(?)--tends to get stuck
				- Balanced: +1 spd/hit

			- Blunt weapons: 
				- Weighted: +1 dam/spd
				- Heavy: +5 damage/-1 hit/-2 spd

			- Special Arrows/bolts:
				- Hunters Arrow: +1 dam
				- War Arrow: +2 Hit/Damage

			- Sling Bullets:
				- Heavy: +1 blunt dam
				- Sharpened: +1 pierce dam
				
			- Bows: 
				- Compound: +1 hit/damage--Higher str req
				
			- Crossbows:
				- Repeater: +1 attack--uses smaller arms that do less damage (or -1 hit--less accurate)
				- Heavy: Long pause; x2 damage or more; min required str
			- Slings?

		-Masterwork Armors:
			- Reinforced: +x AC and/or resistance/-x dex--based on armor type
			- Fitted: Smaller penalties to dex
			
			
		- Masterwork items: 
		- Thieves tools
			- Masterwork lockpicks: +x% to pick locks
			- Padded boots: +x% to move silently
			- Black cloak: +x% hide in shadows
			- Toolkit: +x disarm (though also detect) traps

	- Many monsters lose protection from nonmagic items (excepting ghosts and similar)
		Though perhaps even ghosts will be hittable with special material weapons
