    I have a very easy question for all the experienced modders. I'm trying to remove all weapon restrictions placed on fighter/clerics and this is what I have done so far. My operating system is still XP

    1) extracted clasweap.2da with IE
    2) Under the row labeled fighter_cleric I modified each of the weapon class that was 0 and changed it to 1
    3) saved the file and placed it in the override file
    4) opened the weapProf.2da file that was already in override file and for the column labelled fighter_cleric, I changed all the 0 to 1, and saved it.

    However when I started a new game, although i am able to add points in the weapon profiencies in character creation, I still cannot use any of the restricted weapons when the game starts. The restricted weapons are still in the "cannot use" red background, and it won't let me put the restricted weapons in the weapon slots. what am I missing? Do I need to change the parameters for each weapon?

    I only have SoA, ToB , and the official patch installed, nothing else (haven't even installed the baldurdash yet).

    Thanks for anyones help

    Easiest way to deal with your situation is to give your character the Use Any Item HLA at this point and don't abuse it except to use the weapons that you currently cannot equip. This way, you can already put points in the styles you want (which is usually the hurdle). UAI just overrides the item restrictions.

    The problem is that the weapons themselves are restricted in terms of what classes can use them. I think you would need to use Near Infinity to remove the restrictions on each weapon.

    There are several mods available that can do this already. If Ashes of Embers isn't your thing, Nythrun's level 1 NPC mod at the Gibberlings 3 has a version that can do it, too. I'm actually partial to the version in level 1 NPC's. It doesn't have any weird stat restrictions and it is modular, so you have a few options regarding how exactly to implement the restrictions.

    Thanks guys,

    I've tried using the Use any Item HLA using shadow keeper, but it crashed the game. DMC, did youtry it before on a fighter/cleric?

    I didn't alter the other files like you did, so, no, I did not find myself in your exact situation. There are definitely mods that let you do what you want to do, but I figured that, since you were already half way there, it might be easier to just as UAI. Oh well, sorry it didn't work.

    Remove Cleric Weapon Restrictions from Multi-Classed Clerics
    Fighter/clerics with swords? Yes.

    Item Revisions mod has a component to allow multi classed clerics to use bladed weapons. Thus a cleric/mage can use daggers and darts, and a fighter/cleric can use pretty much any weapon. You can find it on Gibberlings3 site.

    You don't need to install the main component which changes all items in the game (though it is reccommended and cool.) If you do install the main component, be sure to have the recent official mod fixes before installing it.

    Hope it helps. Have fun. :)
