Compatibility
--------------------------------------------

- Do not use both the Awakening and OC versions at the same time.
- Do not use alongside the Archmage Specialization or Weapon Master Mods.
- Compatibility files included for the Combat Tweaks and Expanded Shapeshifting: Learned Forms Mods.
- Will be incompatible with any other Mod that includes a rules_core.ncs file.
- I won't override Awakening's sys_chargen to get new Base Classes to appear as selectable as new Awakening characters, so you'll have to either talk to Ladydesire or instead make a new character in another module and then import them in.

--------------------------------------------
Description
--------------------------------------------

This adds several new Specializations and/or Classes to the game.

These are acquired by meeting specific criteria, generally either by knowing specific Spells/Talents or having specific Attribute scores. To increase the variety of requirement options, a new set of Weapon Focus abilities have also been added. Exact requirements are listed in the included New Talent-Spell Descriptions.txt file.

Variations of these Talents are available to each of the base Classes and provide passive bonuses to your Attack or Damage when wielding a specific weapon type. Do note that the bonuses will not show up on your character sheet; they are applied only when you attack with the proper weapon.

For those only wishing access to some of the new Specializations, you'll just have to delete the HIDDEN abilities of the ones you don't want from the abi_base_weaponfocus.gda file.
