      Perhaps we can introduce a wizard only feat called 'arcane armaments'- it'll give martial, shield, and medium armor proficiency to the caster, but will stop working if they multiclass out of it?

        Some of the Mithril Armors help support this playstyle as well.
        They have reduced Arcane Spell Failure on the armors

          Zool, I think, mentioned this on the discord.

          https://nwn2.fandom.com/wiki/Practiced_Spellcaster

          Basically making your effective caster level 4 levels higher than your actual one. With our level range, something like this would make a martial class a really good pairing with a caster to make a viable spellsword concept.

          I think the problem would be the actual scripting of it. Unless I missunderstand, you'd have to have a check for each and every spell script that looks for this feat.

            @Dire-Rabbit You could throw it in the spells include...we already have a 'hook' to catch the 'spellcast' event for forced emote items.

              Oh?

              Well that'd certainly simplify the coding!

                  Yes, but an 'include' can do stuff like check for feats/parameters before the spell is actually cast.

                  Not exactly how it works, but close enough that the nuance doesn't matter for purposes of this discussion.

                    We're looking into Practiced Spellcaster as a feat to facilitate all spellcaster multiclasses rather than make a seperate spellsword class.

                          The Practiced Spellcaster feat would open up many muliclass mage ideas.

                            Looking also at adding two additional feats to handle armors.

                                Implemented. Closing.
