Nobody gets bonus level 0 spells. Check page 8 of the v3.5 players
handbook, the ability modifiers & bonus spells table - no matter how
high your attribute is, you never get bonus spells at level 0.

the more you know

I tried the second, as well as directly assigning the tag within the
"Spell Failure" entry in the editor.

Well, actually...yes. Duskblade(I bet you're starting to hate this class about now?) does.

Quote:'You also know one additional level-0 spell for each point of Intelligense bonus.' Page 19, PHB II. This being spells KNOWN, I should add.

Ok, I'm clearly an idiot...would you consider walking me through it step by step? Cause I can't get it to work.

Hmm, that's a bit different from regular bonus spells, isn't it? The
other classes get bonus spells per day, and the duskblade seems to be
the only one to get bonus spells known from high intelligence.

OK, first, if you edit your "Class Helper" object in the editor and
change the "Spell Failure from Armor" setting, does that have any effect
once you've spliced in the new helper?


Secondly, if you put the following:

result = hero.childfound[cHelpDbl].assign[CastArmor.Light]

In an eval script running at phase "UserPreLv" and priority "10000" on
your Duskblade class, does that have any effect once you've spliced in
the new helper?

As far as I can tell? No. Anywhere I can think of to look, it says the same. 'Arcane Spell Failure 20%'. This for a chain shirt, which is a light armor.
Same, with varying percentages that is, for the other light armors.

Not appererently, no. It returns 'Reference to undeclared variable' when I try to compile with that thing. Where, exactly, should it go? Tried both the Class Helper tab and the Class Special, and both gave the same response.

Following up on this - Dannyboy2k, did you get the email I sent you a
few days ago about this?

Yes I did. Unfortunately, I've first gotten a job, after a long period of unemployment. Nice, but suddenly notably less time, and also tiring when you're at home. And, as if that wasn't enough, I just the other day re-installed XP....which removed all adresses, all mail, all things like that. So, basically, could you re-send it?

Wow! Sorry to hear that. I've resent the mail to you.
