Made changes to INT, WIS, and CHA. They should appear immediately.

[Zunath]

Do you have changes for Wizard and Cleric or can I toss this to resolved?

[Xan]

Actually, yeah. Sorry I forgot to post.

Wizard +1 Fire, Thunder, Ice, and Air

Cleric +1 Water, Earth, Shadow, and Light

-Edit-
Thought about it a little more, and I thought Shadow and Air needed to be swapped between Wizard and Cleric. Shadow/Light seems to be something clerics would be more concerned about, and granting Air to wizards in return ensures both sides have accessible mana-recovery spells later.

[Xan]

Descriptions and skill bonuses still need to be adjusted.

[kennystardust]

After talking with xan decided we could add more professions later to balance the idea... but mages and clerics getting 8 sp (Basically) and a nice permaweapon with a +1 stat seemed to high. :-p

Working on seeing if i can do this myself right now. --- if i can find the section that allows me to tell them what starting stats they get. >.>



---speaking of
Anyone against me changing vagabond to sp 10
Seems sucky they get less sp and no item then most professions. xD

[Zunath]

Just keep in mind if you change existing professions, other parts of the code have to be updated as well. You should also force an SP reset if you adjust the Vagabond's SP bonus. The scripts that come to mind are adv_include, update_char and possibly the prof_ scripts.

I'll take it slow when I look at cleric and wizard... right now - all they get are their staffs. I'm being cautious as i move towards learning stuff - thanks for the pointers.
