Make Paladin/Rangers full caster

[AgonyAunt]

As it says.

Note: Granting level 1 spellcasting at level 1 means some spells have zero duration. Would require editing of spell scripts. Problem with this relates to fixing caster level anyway, as you need to check for caster level and boost it. Also need to get last caster class, to check it is being cast by Paladin or Ranger in order to only apply caster level changes if necessary.

Involved editing roughly 70 spells.

Also worth noting and checking, if you grant level 2 or greater spells at level 1 you can't actually select. Presume there is something stopping learning of spells until appropriate level beyond the spells gained 2da. Presume this applies to wizards and other caster classes as well. Would guess the limit is set at levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc but need to check its not something hardcoded that means we can't shift all spellcasting down levels.

Solution would be a function in something like ps_inc_functions that is included that performs all checks. Then its a case of simply replacing GetCasterLevel in all relevant spells with the new function that does additional testing.

Ah ha! You can only ever get level 2 spells at character level 2, level 3 at 3, etc... interesting to know.

Function to be called from all relevant spells wherever GetCasterLevel is currently used.

// Used in any spell scripts for Ranger/Paladin spells instead of GetCasterLevel in order that those spells get full caster level for Ranger/Paladin.
int PS_GetCasterLevel(object oPC)
{
    int iClass = GetLastSpellCastClass();
    int iLevel;

    // mystic theurge, sacred fist, stormlord, doomguide, warpriest and Harper agent can increase caster level if they have appropriate feats
    // practiced caster can also increase by +4.

    if (iClass == CLASS_TYPE_RANGER)
    {
        iLevel = GetLevelByClass(CLASS_TYPE_RANGER, oPC);
        if (GetHasFeat(FEAT_PRACTICED_SPELLCASTER_RANGER, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += 4;
        if (GetHasFeat(1548, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(44, oPC); // Mystic Theurge
        if (GetHasFeat(1552, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(45, oPC); // Sacred Fist
        if (GetHasFeat(1583, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(28, oPC); // Harper Agent
        if (GetHasFeat(1811, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(51, oPC); // Warpriest
        if (GetHasFeat(2036, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(56, oPC); // Stormlord
        if (GetHasFeat(2254, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(60, oPC); // Doomguide
    }
    if (iClass == CLASS_TYPE_PALADIN)
    {
        iLevel = GetLevelByClass(CLASS_TYPE_PALADIN, oPC);
        if (GetHasFeat(FEAT_PRACTICED_SPELLCASTER_PALADIN, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += 4;
        if (GetHasFeat(1547, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(44, oPC); // Mystic Theurge
        if (GetHasFeat(1551, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(45, oPC); // Sacred Fist
        if (GetHasFeat(1582, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(28, oPC); // Harper Agent
        if (GetHasFeat(1810, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(51, oPC); // Warpriest

        if (GetHasFeat(2250, oPC, TRUE)) iLevel += GetLevelByClass(60, oPC); // Doomguide
    }
    else
    {
        iLevel = GetCasterLevel(oPC);
    }

    return iLevel;
}
