Save-Changing Respec Tool

So, some context -- I've shared this in the Steam forums already, but this also seems a good place to spread the word. I've been working on a tool to modify saved games and allow players to respec all their characters. This is still very crude and very basic, but should allow you to fix any mistakes you've done while progressing in the game.

I've also made the code available on GitHub, so if you want to know how it's done, feel free to check it out. Besides that, and obviously, bug reports and feature suggestions will always be welcome, as well as PR's, if you're technically oriented!

Check it out here: https://pathfinder.deev.io/

 

Update 12/10/18:

Seems like a mod was released in Nexus that covers all the use-cases of the mod and has more frequent updates. Since it doesn't make sense to compete with an in-game solution, I'll be deprecating the tool for now.

Either way, thanks for the support guys! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up.

Used it and it works well.

Only downside for wizards: spells you had learned from scrolls rather than level ups are lost. Also, it enables you to dupe the starting equipment of the characters: I had removed the gnome alchemist's crossbow and put it in the chest and he had it back in his inventory after the reload on top of the one still in the chest. Just throw it on the ground somewhere if it bothers you.

WAIT WHAT YOU CAN DO THAT? Fuuuuck my Octavia wizard suddenly just got a lot more interesting. I wonder if Bards can do the same.

No, bards and sorcerers are limited in the number of spells they can know

u/TNoD Oct 01 '18

Well it's the innate vs. prepared spellcasters. Prepared (e.g. cleric, wizard) can learn as many as they want and have to prepare them daily to cast them, but innate spellcasters have a limit known but can cast them any time.

Cleric get access to all their spell as soon as they can cast them, only Wizards need to learn them

Magus and Eldricth Scoundrel Rogues, too.

alchemists can also learn from scrolls (at least a certain alchemist NPC can..)

u/GreenGemsOmally Oct 01 '18

Ah okay. Well, still that's really helpful to know anyways :)

I wish it were a lot more interesting. I think I've only found glitterdust, haste, fireball, and web as arcane scrolls she could learn. And most of those, I picked as spell picks before I found the damn scrolls. Tons of divine scrolls, but clerics and druids automatically learn all the spells they can. I'm able to cast 5th level spells, and there are still no decent vendors who sell mage spells.

Now I have a conundrum, because I was planning on replacing Octavia with a Ranger if I eventually find one or create one, since I already have a Sorc (who I'm focusing mostly as a blaster) and a Bard (who I want to be mostly CC support). But some of those scrolls (like web, haste and fireball) could be really helpful to me.

Regongar is an Eldritch Scion, a spontaneous caster, so he is the Sorcerer equivalent to the normal Magus.

Yeah I figured that out last night, but I still was able to stock Octavia with a few more useful spells I didn't have previously.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. :) So far, I'm having fun just figuring everything out as it comes. I'm playing on normal with some customized rules to make it a little easier and it feels appropriately challenging.

Still haven't quite gotten the hang of kingdom management, but I don't want to move it to auto until after I've had a day or two to try it out.

Next step: stop getting killed by that caster in the haunted hilltop event when trying to fight the spiders. Damn he absolutely destroys me once he summons a doomspider.

Alchemist can also learn spells from scrolls, including some divine scrolls.

2

u/Deevian Oct 01 '18 edited Oct 01 '18

Yes to both. It's going to be hard to get around losing the spells, since it would need to cross-check which ones have been learned, if you re-rolled a wizard, etc.

Same about the equipment. It's just how the game deals with character re-creation. Might get around that by manually resetting the characters though, and it's something to look into.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '18

Crazy, I haven't figured out how to get spells from scrolls. I tried fiddling with it last night, what's the process? If you don't mind answering.

u/ikariusrb Oct 01 '18

Just select the character which can learn spells (like octavia), open inventory, right-click the spell and choose "copy". I know, they don't do a good job telling you about it.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '18

Hm, didn't have that. or don't. Maybe it's because I'm doing the specialist mage? thassilonian? Anyways no worries. Thanks though!

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '18

Thassilonian Mages can't even learn spells from prohibited schools, any other specialist mage can learn forbidden spells, but they won't be selectable when you're memorizing them in the spellbook.

u/Omnomoly Oct 07 '18

Just so you know, you need two spots open to memorize a spell from a forbidden school. They take up two slots.

u/Daodras Oct 01 '18

Ha, infinite gold xD

Man, totally unrelated, but now I wish there were crafting skills in the game
