GCD, Galsiah's Character Development, is a mod for Morrowind. Galsiah didn't move on to Oblivion, so I started working on this substitute. In tribute to Galsiah's masterpiece, this is "not Galsiah's Character Development," nGCD.

nGCD is a total overhaul for character advancement, meaning it completely replaces the standard Oblivion rules for gaining levels and attributes, including Health and Magicka. The primary goal of nGCD is to encourage an immersive perspective on advancement: your race gives you certain aptitudes, and you choose which skills to improve. Depending on those factors, your attributes develop naturally.

The level-up screen is completely removed. You are never asked whether you'd rather improve Strength or Agility: you've already made that decision by choosing to swing a warhammer, or sneaking around picking locks. Characters who spend time in melee will gain Health, and casting spells increases Magicka. nGCD also makes Magicka regeneration independent of the size of your Magicka pool. Playing an Altmer or Breton may give you a large Magicka pool, but your regeneration is based entirely on your Willpower and magic skill.

The formulas used to translate race and skill into attributes are very complex, which means no two characters will be the same. A pair of configuration files allows extensive customization of the formulas, letting you adjust influence of race and class or which skills give which attributes. There are also options for compatibility with Elys Uncapper, with various possible behaviors; you could let all attributes continue to 200, or let your racial attributes define the new cap.

nGCD is compatible with most mods, except of course for other advancement overhauls. It requires a few changes to vanilla Oblivion in order to function as expected, but all of these edits are provided as separate mods, so if another mod is already providing the necessary function you can simply not use the nGCD solution, eliminating potential conflicts.

-----------------------------------
Not my mod obviously, I'm just lending my post to tejon.

Progress gives you control over many aspects of skill advancement through the Progress.ini file. How much Blade increases per hit compared to Blunt, how fast or slow your skills increase overall, and how many times you can train per level are all examples of settings Progress can adjust. It can be set to match any other skill rate mod, and includes pre-configured .ini files with several popular defaults.

Progress is compatible with all character advancement overhauls (nGCD, Realistic Leveling, SPAM, KCAS, etc.) because those mods do not change skill advancement in any way. While an advancement mod determines the way your skills translate into attribute and level increases, Progress complements it by determining the way your actions translate into skills.

In addition to its basic functions, Progress allows other mods to make complex scripted changes to skill advancement without worrying about several otherwise common issues. Instead of reading certain data directly from Oblivion, which might have been changed by another mod or even a previously loaded game, the correct data can always be read from Progress. Progress plug-in mods can then make temporary changes without worrying about mistaking them for base values later, or make permanent changes by writing back to Progress.

The following plug-ins are included with Progress:

Magicka-Based Skill Progression (MBSP) causes the Magicka cost of a spell to affect how much your skill increases from casting it. Expensive spells will level up your magic more quickly than cheap ones. This module was inspired by HotFusion4's original MBSP for Morrowind.

Speed-Based Skill Progression (SBSP) causes the speed of a blade or blunt weapon to affect skill advancement. Your Blade skill is no longer penalized for using a greatsword instead of a dagger. This module was originally written by Kaldskryke.

Range-Based Skill Progression (SBSP) grants variable Marksman improvement based on the distance of your target. This module is based on an original by Kaldskryke, with an improved arrow tracking method contributet by Tekuromoto.

Armorer Accelerated mends the broken mechanic of Armorer advancement, wherein higher skill both causes you to require more repair actions to advance, but also allows you to perform fewer repairs because you fix things too fast. This module was suggested by Kaldskryke.

Racial Advancement causes skills with a racial bonus to advance at a faster rate. Will the person who requested this please remind me who you are, so I can give credit!

Global Slow-Down (GSD) makes it harder for a jack-of-all-trades to become a master of any, but also harder for a specialized master to learn new tricks, so the decision of which path to follow is meaningful. This module was inspired by Galsiah's Character Development for Morrowind.

Birthsigns Expanded hopes to make birthsigns an important part of gameplay at all levels. This means that they will generally be far more powerful than the vanilla signs. However, no birthsign-granted ability should be so strong that it removes the need to use any of your character's skills. While some signs obviously favor certain specializations, I've tried as much as possible to make most of them useful in different ways to classes they might not normally be associated with.

The signs are designed to be as unique as their individual flavors allow. They may not be perfectly balanced with each other, but they're meant to be more than just a package of abilities. Each birthsign should change your Oblivion experience in a way that no other sign imitates. Some are subtle about this, and some are downright intrusive. It is my goal to make every sign worth playing at least once for the experience it provides, regardless of mechanical benefits.

No unofficial content mod can claim to be "lore correct," but I did extensive (and exhausting) research before deciding on the flavor of each sign, and so I believe Birthsigns Expanded to be as lore-friendly as I could possibly make it. In keeping with the Elder Scrolls tradition of wrapping myths up in riddles and garnishing them with lies, I have chosen not to publicly describe my reasoning in this regard, though I may drop hints here and there, or in private.

A note on compatibility: Generally, this mod is compatible with anything that doesn't alter birthsigns. Because I used unique ID's, it is also fully compatible with any mod which adds vanilla birthsign abilities to NPCs, or similar. More importantly, the only conflict with other birthsign mods such as bg2408's Race Balancing Project is that when the birthsign selection menu is shown, only the signs from the mod listed last in your load order will be displayed. This means that you can start a character (or console ShowBirthsignMenu) with Birthsigns Expanded last in the order, pick one of my signs, then move RBP to last in the order and start a character with one of his signs... and forget about it! From then on, both characters will work correctly with signs from whichever mod was active when you picked them.


Version 2.1 is the final non-OBSE release. It is stable, but suffers from the limitations of non-OBSE scripting. The general concepts for its signs are the same as those outlined below, but the implementations are much simpler.

The current version 3.0 beta requires OBSE v0017, which is currently also in beta. If you want to try it out, make sure you have the latest revision. Modder's note: in this version, nothing is player-centric; that is, all these signs and powers can be safely given to NPCs. You are free to take these effects and use them as you please, though I hope to receive credit!


The remainder of this post describes the designs for the current 3.0 Release Candidate:

The effect "Exertion," used for all the lesser powers below, is a Fatigue cost. It varies with your Fatigue regeneration rate. It will never be more than 2/3 of your base Fatigue, or less than 1/3. Having insufficient Fatigue does not prevent a power from being used, but you will fall unconscious.

The Warrior.
The steadfast Warrior grants additional Strength and Endurance. You have a knack for finishing wounded opponents with a reckless final strike, and in dire situations you may invoke the Warwyrd to become an unstoppable juggernaut.

• Warrior: ability
  (self) Fortify Strength 15.
  (self) Fortify Endurance 15.
  (self) Resist Paralysis 100%.
  
• Clinch: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self) Collapse unless Warwyrd is active.
  (touch) Target killed if Health has been reduced to ~25% or less. Actual threshold is adjusted by speed of wielded weapon; slower weapons allow slightly more health.
  
• Warwyrd: greater power
  (self 30s) Fatigue and Health will not suffer any reduction for the duration. All damage to both will be applied when the effect expires, but this will not leave you with less than 1 point in each.

The Lady.
You are blessed with the Lady's Grace, increasing your Willpower, Endurance and Personality and granting resistance to the elements. You know the secret of the Storm Voice which can blow enemies off their feet, and once per day you may perform a greater Storm Calling.

• Lady's Grace: ability
  (self) Fortify Willpower 10.
  (self) Fortify Endurance 10.
  (self) Fortify Personality 10.
  (self) Resist Cold 50%.
  (self) Resist Fire 50%.
  (self) Resist Shock 50%.
  
• Storm Voice: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (touch) Damage Fatigue, 25% of caster's base fatigue.
  (touch) Target is blown away and knocked down.
  
• Storm Calling: greater power
  (30' burst) Damage Fatigue, 50% of caster's base fatigue.
  (30' burst) Targets are blown away and knocked down.

The Lord.
Your wounds close and heal over in mere minutes, and though fire seems to burn you more than others, you can also call it to your aid. By manipulating the beat of your own heart you have the power to temporarily remove others from the fabric of existence.

• Trollkin: ability
  (self) Weakness to Fire 50%.
  (self) Regenerate health, 100% per 120 seconds.
  
• Clutch the Heart: lesser power
  (self) Exertion. (only if target is affected)
  (self 30s) Trollkin regeneration stops. (only while a target is affected, suppressed by Polyrhythm)
  (touch 30s) Target temporarily ceases to exist. (only one target at a time, cancel by casting with no target)
  
• Skipped Beat: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self 12s) Weakness to Magic/Poison/Weapons 100%.
  (self) Instantly gain 12 seconds of Trollkin regeneration.
  
• Polyrhythm: greater power
  (self 30s) Weakness to Fire 150%.
  (self 30s) Trollkin regeneration increases to 100% per 30s.
  
• Wulfharth's Pyre: greater power
  (self) Damage equal to 75% of current health.
  (30' burst) Fire damage equal to 75% of caster's current health, reduced by caster's current Weakness to Fire.

The Steed.
Your soul's connection to the heavens frees your body of weight and lightens carried items. You can walk on water, and even overcome inertia in short bursts. Occasionally, those who offend you are reminded how heavy their own souls are.

• Unfettered: ability
  (self) Water Walking. (can still swim underwater)
  (self) Carry limit tripled. No encumbrance up to normal limit, then half encumbrance.
  
• Charioteer: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self 12s) Fortify Speed 50.
  
• Burden of Souls: greater power
  (30' burst 30s) Burden equal to carry capacity.

The Mage.
The judicious Mage improves your Intelligence and Willpower. Magicka is tangible to you, and with effort you can draw it from your surroundings or send it away. You also have a knack for shaping magic into precisely the tool you need.

• Mage: ability
  (self) Fortify Intelligence 15.
  (self) Fortify Willpower 15.
  
• Ablation: lesser power
  (self) Exertion. (only if a dispel occurs)
  (self) Most powerful enemy spell on you which you could cast is dispelled.
  
• Grasping Aurbis: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self) Restore Magicka. (amount based on caster's Willpower)
  (self 3s) Fortify Magicka +100%.
  
• Epiphany: greater power
  (self) Create a spell. (no gold cost)

The Apprentice.
You hear whispers of divine lore, teaching you secrets of hardiness and enhanced magicka. The voices offer greater power at the price of extra focus, and occasionally they will reveal their mysteries at your command.

• Hidden Lore: ability
  (self) Fortify Health 50.
  (self) Fortify Magicka 50.
  
• Invocation: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self indefinite) Drain Attribute 5. (all but one, none if Arkay is invoked)
  (self indefinite) Fortify Attribute 35. (one of your choice, none if Arkay is invoked)
  
• Mysteries Unbound: greater power
  (self 60s) Invocation effects suppressed, can select new Invocation without Exertion.
  (self 60s) Fortify Attribute 35. (all)

The Atronach.
Your Magicka capacity is doubled, but you cannot generate your own. With a touch you rip energy directly from others, an inefficient and mutually painful process. By anchoring yourself to the deeper reality of the world, you can for a time become an immovable, nigh-invulnerable magic sponge.

• Wombburn: ability
  (self) Stunted Magicka.
  (self) Fortify Magicka +100%.
  
• Discharge: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (touch) Half of target's current Magicka pool transferred to caster.
  (touch) Target and caster each take damage equal to 1/4 transferred amount.
  
• Bones of Earth: greater power
  (self 30s) Cannot move or be moved.
  (self 30s) Shield 100%.
  (self 30s) Spell Absorption 100%.

The Ritual.
The strange light of your stars seems to bolster the living and terrify the undead. You can force this light into others with a touch, or beseech the heavens to share it with all nearby. You also have Mara's Gift to instantly cleanse yourself of all ailments.

• Stellar Flare: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self 30s) Light 12.
  (self 6s) Light 120.
  
• Blessed Touch: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self 30s) Light 12.
  (touch 30s) Light 6.
  (touch 30s) Spectrum. (calm/frenzy/rally/fear depending on target's creature type.)
  
• Blessed Word: greater power
  (self 30s) Light 12.
  (60' burst 30s) Light 6.
  (60' burst 30s) Spectrum. (calm/frenzy/rally/fear depending on target's creature type.)
  
• Mara's Gift: greater power
  (self 30s) Light 12.
  (self) Rebirth. (All negative effects removed, any damaged attributes fully healed, Health and Fatigue restored to maximum.)

The Thief.
The nimble Thief boosts your Agility, Speed and Luck, and teaches you the trick of vanishing from a sticky situation. You can steal an enemy's life force for yourself with the Twilight Reaving.

• Thief: ability
  (self) Fortify Agility 15.
  (self) Fortify Speed 15.
  (self) Fortify Luck 15.

  (touch 120s) Soul Trap.

The Lover.
You are beautiful and outgoing, possessed of great Personality. Your kiss holds a compelling power, and if you indulge your passion it can even paralyze the recipient.

• Allure: ability
  (self) Fortify Personality 30.
  
• Lover's Kiss: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (touch 12s) Command.
  
• Deep Kiss: greater power
  (touch 12s) Paralysis.

The Shadow.
You are a Mooncalf, cursed with poverty and disease and often ignored as a harmless, luckless wretch. If you grovel, most creatures will give you pity. Your curse can sometimes be contagious.

• Mooncalf: ability
  (self) Weakness to Disease 100%.
  (self) Carried gold slowly vanishes. (Luck/6 per game hour)
  (self) Member of the Beggars faction.
  (self) Crime bounty slowly vanishes. (12/Personality+1 per game hour)
  
• Nobody: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (self) Damage Personality 1.
  (self) Damage Luck 1.
  (self 30s) Chameleon 25%.
  
• Take Pity: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.

  (self) Damage Luck 1.
  (12' burst 30s) Calm.

  (self) Damage Luck 5.
  (30' burst) Damage Personality 50.
  (30' burst) Damage Luck 50.

• Moonshadow: greater power
  (self) Damage Personality 5.
  (self) Damage Luck 5.
  (self 300s) Invisibility.

The Tower.
Few barriers hinder you. Standing proud against the world, your will to write your own destiny is so strong that any who strike you become victim to the wounds they inflict, and those who raise your ire soon find their defenses shattered.

• Tower Rampart: ability
  (self) Reflect Damage 10%.
  
• Tower Warden: lesser power
  (self) Exertion.
  (target 6s) Weakness to Magic 50%.
  (target 6s) Weakness to Normal Weapons 50%.
  (target 6s) Weakness to Poison 50%.
  
• Tower Key: greater power
  (target) Open 99. (any lock which does not require a specific key)

The Serpent.
Though gifted in many ways, you are stricken with soul hunger: a void which can only be filled with the essence of others. When this hunger grows, you sense nearby souls; your sting leeches them away. Invoking the cursed stars poisons your prey, and you as well, but your cold blood cleanses itself.

• Cold Blood: ability
  (self) Fortify Attribute 5. (all except Luck)
  (self) Restore Attribute 1. (all except Luck)
  
• Soul Hunger: ability
  (self) Soul Hunger increases by 1 per GameMinute. (max 3840, min -480)

  (self 30s) If target dies, caster's Soul Hunger is further reduced. (amount = SoulLevel * 6)
  (self) Health, Magicka, Fatigue restored per point of Soul Hunger lost. (amount = damage to target per second)
  
• Star Curse: greater power
  (self) Damage Attribute 30. (all except Luck; will not reduce base value below 1)
  (12' burst) Damage Attribute 30. (all except Luck; will not reduce base value below 1)

So, this is my punishment for missing the close of the previous thread: I can't hit Edit on my six nicely-formatted intro posts, which means I can't copy/paste their nicely formatted source text, which means no pretty front page this time around. :cold:

Personal status update: I've actually been busting my ass on a different RPG project... pen-and-paper! This one's for the Pathfinder RPG system, which is the worthy successor to D&D 3.5. (As opposed to WotC's official 4th Edition, which is like World of Warcraft except everything takes longer.) It's currently in a closed design state, but I do need extra eyes and ideas so if anyone here actually plays that, hit me up.

What's up? What's still broken? Is OBSE v0018 released yet?


One other thing:

I have to tell you: your birthsigns, but especially the Ritual, Apprentice, Lover, and Shadow, seem to accomplish almost everything I initially set out to do with my mod "Vows and Covenants", and do it much more simply.

This is among the highest praise I've ever received. After countless load lists, I've seen that that Vows and Covenants is one of the most popular mods around, at least among the immersion-minded. More popular than B.E., that's for sure! So... thank you, very much.

Kyoma: Just change that post to the nGCD text from the previous thread. Luckily you sniped the position least likely to require any edits!

No problem. And done.

P.S. The fancy arrow linkies still point to the old thread, in case this wasn't intentionally.

Hi tejon,

I have a request for a new feature added to progress.esm (i.e. modification of the main esm). I have already modified my own progress.esm this way, so it's no big deal to me, but I just wanted to share the idea

As you (all) know, the most general way (in Progress, and without) to slow down skill rate is to modify fSkillUseFactor, but since it is not linear, it is quite hard to know what to set it to if you want to change the speed. The progress.ini file contains some examples, but not for the speeds I want (use use somewhere around 10-15x slower).

So I added a new setting, called fSkillSpeedModifier. And in progress.esm I added the following code (before all the SetSkillUseIncrement lines):

if fSkillSpeedModifier != 0 && fSkillSpeedModifier != 1   let fSkillArmorerRepair /= fSkillSpeedModifier   let fSkillAthleticsRun /= fSkillSpeedModifier   let fSkillAthleticsSwim /= fSkillSpeedModifier   ....endif

By doing this, fSkillSpeedModifier becomes a true, linear skill slowdown setting. So if you set it to 5, your skill will increase 5x slower. Set it to 0.5 and they will increase twice as fast, etc. Quite basic really, but it makes it so much easier to tweak the general skill rate.

Reposting this the new topic, in hopes someone can help me out.

A few questions about ProgressMercantile - does mercantile only advance for the sale of very high value items, or can I get it to go up by selling a lot of low value items as well?

The reason I ask is that, at the start of the game (right after escaping the sewers), I tend to head into the IC to sell equipment, and my mercantile has been advancing very slowly during this process. I am playing with OOO, MMM, nGCD, Progress, and MagLite (plus a few graphical/interface mods), and I'm playing as an Imperial with Mercantile as a major skill (starts at 35). My other major skillls are advancing fine, so it is disappointing to see no advance on Mercantile. Is this right? After about 2 hours of play, most of my majors have advanced significantly (even Restoration is at 30% or so), but Mercantile has only gone up 2%.

Is this intentional, or a problem with Progress or another mod (I heard something about a problem with Living Economy and Mercantile)? If intentional, what should I change to INI file settings to in order to get a faster progression? Thanks for the help.

Hi!

Can I use Birthsigns Expanded with my ongoing character or do I have to create a new one? Any save game updates needed?

Thx! Nice work guys!

[Louise Dennis]

Can I use Birthsigns Expanded with my ongoing character or do I have to create a new one? Any save game updates needed?

According to the Readme files provided, it should work, though you will need to use the provided 'Birthsign Zero' file to first remove your existing one. Sounds simple enough.

[DAVId MArtInez]

Ok....I asked this once a loooong time ago and cannot remember the answer.


When installing Progress do I choose ONE progress.ini file or does it matter? In other words do I need to delete ones I dont use?

I ask because I think something is not working. I am not seeing the "Progress Initialized" message like I am used to (most recent version). There are a lot of other messages from other mods popping up that may or may not be interfering. I dont see anything when opening the console either. And yes, the .ESM and .esps are loaded.

Tejon mentioned in the last thread that the Progress Initialized message got left out of the current version - inadvertently.

Also, yes, you choose one .ini, customize it to your liking, and rename it Progress.ini. The others are non-functional, so they can be deleted just to keep the folder clean.

Just to clarify that, there is a series of Progress.ini files that are just called 'Progress (something).ini'; you can choose one of those and rename it 'Progress.ini' (deleting/overwriting the default one that is also installed), or you can customise the default file. However, there is also a series of files called 'ProgressXXX.ini' - no space, no brackets - and these cover different aspects of Progress: Race, speed-based progression, range-based progression, etc. I don't know if they can be deleted safely or not, but I'm sure T?jon will get back to you on that. Untill then I'd say you should just accept the defaults or customise them to your liking.

[Sierra Ritsuka]

Awesome. Thanks. Now I can play without worry

Ooh, missed him by a minute! I hope nothing drastic happens!

Anyway, I have a question regarding the missing 'initialized' message: Is there a console entry I can type to verify that progress is running? Makes me nervous, not seeing it...

Thanks. I didn't think to clarify that bit. So, to really spell it out...

Do NOT delete these if you have them (you will only have them if you installed the corresponding optional plugin)
ProgressArmorer.ini
ProgressGSD.ini
ProgressMBSP.ini
ProgressRacial.ini
ProgressRBSP.ini
ProgressSBSP.ini

Pick one of these, rename it to Progress.ini. You can safely delete the others.
Progress(Default).ini
Progress(Vanilla).ini
Progress(OOO).ini

I hope this is clear. I'm getting tired.

[Taylor Tifany]

Big fan of the mods... have used nGCD since its inception. And still using it, and progress, and maglite, and TFE, and Birthsigns, and TRAP, etc.

Just a few quick questions:

1. I noticed in the progress.ini vs progress OOO.ini the only variations are in the magic categories. is there sth in particular that OOO does to magic that should cause me to use the progressOOO.ini instead? i've been leveling with the default one and i haven't noticed any power leveling in the magic skills (aside from wortcraft causing perhaps too much jump--but i rather like the effect of 'learning fast by trying to poison yourself by ingesting as many plants as possible'). now THAT'S the kind of skill bonus they should have built into one of the character classes rangers must get curious about all those mushrooms.

2. For the alchemy portion tied into MagLite, what's the rationale for 'all 4 effects viewable at 25'? i actually thought the vanilla system made sense in this regard--sure, you might 'know' what an ingredient *could* do but you wouldn't have the skill to extract it. is it possible to open this up through an .ini (i haven't even MADE 25 in alchemy yet on this playthrough (takes a long time with all your mods active), so if there's a mechanic i'm missing, i apologize)

3. Fatigue is painful with Deadly Reflex, Progress, and TFE all going. I'm curious, from experienced players with this mod (just started) what's the curve like. I'm up to level 3 right now, and my character does have a lot of weight carried--seems i can jump twice before passing out, maybe shoot an arrow or two. My adventurer might have been better suited to bowling; he's got that lanky, low-strength look to him. If i understand the .ini correctly, encumbrance has a serious effect no fatigue in this mod. Just looking for other players' experiences using TFE. I like TFE so far but i'm kinda hoping i will actually be able to fight after level 5--but a lot of thought usually seems to go in tejon's mods so i'm curious as to the curve as experienced.

4. The one tejon mod i'm not using is Fizzle, because i'm using Sorcery's Toll and Supreme Magicka (logically, i can't see how Sorcery's Toll and Fizzle would work together--but if they do, that would really be incredible--then that big, desperate spell REALLY has a risk factor). anyone tried this trifecta? what about the final balance between these three and maglite?

thanks for all the work, tejon. every time i start Oblivion again with your mods, it gets more challenging and more involving. one of these times i might actually finish it, but the odds against me keep getting worse

cheers.


a small thanks to kuerlee too for the nice HUD, although this is the wrong thread.

I've found a issue between TIE.esp and MagLite.esp .
When i make a new game (and inside IC prison) and selected my race, and listen the voice of the "crow" dark elf, I see captain Renault walk near my cell with Septim , but Glenroy and Baurus don't (they remain on the top of stairs, i going to them with TCL console command). The door of my cell keep close (and captain Renault can't open the secret way, and Septim cannot talk with me).

here my load order:

Oblivion.esm
Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp
MagLite.esp
TIE.esp

Nothing else mod. I've tried to put MagLite.esp under TIE.esp, but the problem remain. Any suggestion ?
(P.S. i' ve make also a new game with "alternate arrive by ship", but i find a new bug in arena gladatiors (when i hit 2 or 3 times a enemy gladiator, he's escape away from me, "get away don't hurt me !" every 2 seconds, until i kill him..very annoying).

I experienced the very same bug you are reporting. Check out the last few pages of Tejon's last thread to read about it.

Interesting thing is I don't use TIE. And your load order is so short as to make me wonder what could possibly be causing this?

Perhaps Tejon will reappear and delve into it for us.

I'm setting up a new install of Oblivion on W7. I've installed Elys' Skill Uncapper because I want to use 'Grandmaster of Alchemy', but I was hoping for some suggestions as to how to set up nGCD/Progress.

My first thought was to set it up so that level 200 would be like the old level 100, but there are a few problems there; the main one being that I'll end up getting the master perks for all skills, and fairly early in the game too, which I don't want.

Ideally what I'd like is for 100 to be like the old 100, with everything above that a perk. I don't think I'll be using that 200 ceiling for anything bar Alchemy. What's making me ask this is that during testing I set my character's speed and athletics to 100, and he was still really slow; plus his level raised from 1 to 4 by casting 'Heal Minor Wounds' about 15-20 times!

One thought I had is that I might edit the Grandmaster script so that 125 or 150 is Grandmaster level, then set everything to be as normal, with a global slowdown that suits me, but that's only if I can't get it to work any other way.

I've a couple of questions, if anyone can help:
1. If I set 'finalSkillMult' to, say, 5 in the Progress global slowdown ini, and 'skillUseFactor' to 0.35 (described as equivalent to 1x) in the main progress.ini, does that mean that at 'iRangeFloor' there is no slowdown and at 'iRangeCeiling' there's a 5x slowdown?
2. And that beyond 'iRangeCeiling' there is still a 5x slowdown?
3. If I use the same settings as above, but set 'skillUseFactor' to 0.5556 (equivalent to 2x), at 'iRangeFloor' there's a 2x slowdown and at 'iRangeCeiling' there's a 10x slowdown?
4. In these scenarios, whether the curve between them is linear or not, the top and bottom slowdown values stay the same?
5. What setting(s) would/could be responsible for the slowness with speed and athletics at 100?
6. How do I let Attributes go over 100 without causing the super-fast level-up I mentioned?
7. Is there any way to make the rate of acceleration of slowdown decrease as your skills improve? That is; invert the curve so it's a 'hump' rather than a 'ski jump' (if you know what I mean!)

Check out this thread: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=952805&st=48. Start where the link takes you, and then read backwards and forwards some to fill in the blanks. Pay special attention to Shikishima's posts. He really knows what he's doing configuring nGCD and Progress.

I don't know anything about Grandmaster of Alchemy, so I can't help there.

The strange thing is this: if i play with TIE.esp ACTIVATED with MagLite.esp DISABLED, the game go fine (Glenroy open the door and game don't stuck, of course i've not problem with arena enemy gladiators).
If i play with TIE.esp DISABLED with MagLite.esp ACTIVATED, the game go fine (Glenroy open the door and game don't stuck, of course i've not problem with arena enemy gladiators).
If i play with together ACTIVATED, the game stuck and i've problem with arena enemy gladiators.
Very strange...
