JC's Feat Fixes for K2


Summary

This mod corrects some errors in the feeat.2da and featgain.2da files, which determine what classes can get what feats and when.

First, a number of feats available to the base Jedi classes were not available to the prestige classes. This appears to be an error, given the inconsistency. It wasn't even that no prestige classes could take them. For some feats, certain tiers were available but not the rest. Other feats were available to some classes but locked out of others, despite being available to all Jedi classes. So I've gone through and set all feats that seem like they were meant for all Jedi classes to be available for all Jedi classes. The affected feats are:

  • Caution
  • Close Combat
  • Dual Strike
  • Empathy
  • Gear Head
  • Regenerate Vitality
  • Stealth Run

Second, the Scoundrel class was similarly missing access to feats they ought to be able to take, based on what is available to other organic classes:

  • Dual Strike
  • Finesse: Melee Weapons
  • Regenerate Vitality
  • Stealth Run
  • Weapon Focus: Blaster Rifle
  • Weapon Focus: Melee Weapons

Third, some classes did not have access to cross-class skill feats for certain
skills that were not class skills for them:

  •  Class Skill: Stealth (Jedi Weapon Master and Sith Marauder)
  • Class Skill: Treat Injury (Scoundrel)

Fourth, the Finesse: Lightsabers feat was redundant, because Finesse: Melee Weapons applies to both melee weapons and lightsabers. This was probably not the intent, but these feats are hard-coded, so I have no way of fixing them. I chose to remove the ability to select Finesse: Lightsabers at all. If you want to build a finessing character and receive the benefits of this feat, you can select Finesse: Melee Weapons instead and get it for melee weapons as well as lightsabers.

Also, the weapon and armor proficiencies for prestige classes were inconsistent. This would not cause a problem in regular play because prestige classes are only available to the player character and the player character already had these proficiency feats; however, it could create oddities when using other mods or a save editor. I have adjusted the following feats for prestige classes to match the base Jedi classes:

  • Armor Proficiency: Light
  • Weapon Proficiency: Blaster Rifle
  • Weapon Proficiency: Lightsaber

Finally, the feat gains for the Combat Droid and Expert Droid classes were swapped, just as they were in KOTOR 1. TSLRCM already fixes this issue for KOTOR 2, but I added it to my fixes as well for the sake of completion.

I have specific memories of taking both feats during one run of the game, and holding off on the melee one to to take the lightsaber one later on another. I never checked the combat log for it until yesterday.

Have you fixed weapon proficiency feats? I am pretty sure many classes can't even get the focus feats (I know Atton should be a prime example of this).
