letsdance's rebalance mod (LRM)

[FrancoK]

custom wizard:
increased number of picks to 12. this is to enable artificer ONLY. i am balancing the item costs to be used with artificer.

The increase is only for the player or for all?
It is for any difficult level or only for some?
How do you enforce the extra pick is spent only for artificer?

only for player
all difficulty levels (don't think it's possible to do it for certain levels only)
i don't enforce it. feel free to use it for something different if you want.

this extra pick is a bit of an unfinished project. i always thought it sad, that you can't take any other pick with 11 books from one realm. mostly because creating magic items is too expensive (IMO) without artificer. so i added this extra pick for use with artificer. i balanced magic item creation cost with that in mind, mostly because i couldn't find how to change the costs for spell charges.

2 years later... time for another update. some small balancing issues. link in first post now leads to current version.

mostly halberdiers from neutral cities were too powerful. made it easier to kill those.
improved premade magic items.
improved help texts.
solved some things more elegantly due to better modding knowledge.
