Help with Ascetic Mage

[Jeffcole1]

I'm trying to add the Ascetic Mage feat from Complete Adventurer into HL. I've done a few additions using the Editor, including several other feats, but nothing like this. I need to know how to write a prerequisite script that checks whether the hero can spontaneously cast 2nd-level arcane spells, as a sorcerer does (one of the prerequisites for the Ascetic Mage feat).

10/13/07: I've been testing it out, and now I need to figure out how to make Ascetic Mage eliminate the monk's multiclass restriction with respect to the sorcerer class (another benefit of the Ascetic Mage feat). While I'm at it, I could also use some help figuring out how to add the hero's CHA to his AC, as well as stacking sorcerer and monk levels for monk AC bonuses. (The full description of Ascetic Mage is in Complete Adventurer, pgs. 105-106.)

The Dragon Disciple prestige class requires the ability to cast spontaneous spells, and there are quite a number of other prestige classes that require the ability to cast 2nd-level spells. Go to the Class Level panel in the editor, pull those in, and cut and paste.

The Psionic Fist class is an example of a class improving (some) monk abilities while adding other class abilities.

edit: Just realized that by my original plan, a L1 sorcerer/L5 Wizard would fulfill the class requirements if you look for spontaneous casting and 2nd level casting seperately.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait for Rob or Colen to chime in with something that checks that both come from the same class.

Any progress on either the spontaneously casted 2nd levels spells? This is how I did the AC adjustment:
Within the Ascentic Mage feat I made a second Eval Script
Phase: Post-Attributes, Priority: 10000
var bonus as number
bonus=hero.child[aCHA].field[aModBonus].value

var minus as number
minus=hero.child[aWIS].field[aModBonus].value

hero.child[ArmorClass].field[Bonus].value = hero.child[ArmorClass].field[Bonus].value + bonus- minus

Do you have the community set? This feat (as well as all the others from this book) are included there. If you do have it, and its not fully functional, let me know.

Sendric, I'm mildly bull headed. Where is this community set you speak of?
