Please message your random questions, requests and complaints instead of picking a random mod to comment on. Too many unrelated comments across my mods, some barely qualifying as comments. I have many messages and requests, I will try to get to them in due time.
Hello, wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem: I can't respec Minthara. I don't know for sure that this mod is the problem. I used one of the mods to get her without killing everyone else and so far she has been fine. But I made some dumb choices leveling up and wanted to switch some stuff up.
What makes me think this mod is the problem is that at the 1st level screen where you can change class, ability scores, etc., on the right where it shows you what you get, there is a big space for cantrips (only the drow mage hand shows from the base race), and a section below to select spells. The problem is, none of those selections show up on the left, so I am stuck at "Choices Pending" and can't make any changes.
Seems like its not showing the choices in the UI, so I can't choose anything.
Thanks for your hard work. Please let me know if you need more information!!
It might be this mod, you may have to disable it for that first level respec. There is a lot of stuff crammed into the base drow race and it affects all Drow PC.
Hmm, I actually tried that and my game crashed. After deactivating, I of course got the message about "instability" with saves, etc. which for most mods I've used isn't a big deal (adding gear I don't end up using in most cases), so I continued on. Save loaded fine, but it crashed when I tried the respec w/o the mod.
Could "Improved UI" be affecting a window where I would select some of the arcane trickster spells?
Anyway, I'll fiddle around, try it again. One instance is not a good sample size. No matter what, many thanks for replying, I'll keep you posted.
EDIT: Oh, I'll try making a new drow character and see what happens. I picked this up because my first Tav is drow and I wanted to add some stuff to her. Ultimately, if I can't respec her, it's no big deal. Like I said, its not a big deal. I've just gotten spoiled with respecing party members!
That's definitely weird as I test out a lot of my stuff like that and don't crash but I can't say it's not this mod. A lot of these requests, I just make sure it's working properly but haven't tried other Drow PC. If you use Appearance Edit Enhanced, you could try the respec spell it gives you, I think the CC menu might fix any issues.
Not sure about the Improved UI stuff, I also haven't seen too many mods stuff so many things into the base races though so I'm still tempted to say it's just this mod
Okay, I am back to report for you and other mod users here. I made a new drow character "Arahtnim" and was able to select the arcane trickster spells no problem. I'm only second level, so I'll update at 3rd when drow get fairie fire (I think? Did Seldarine) as I don't know if more arcane trickster abilities come online.
Anyway, made character no problem, and when I went to respec with Withers, it is indeed the case that since you can't change your race during respec, the selection options are not accessible, but the spells caantrips I selected at character creation are there, I just can't change them. During respec, since this mod is based on a subclass choices need to be made, and as a result when I tried to respec Minthara, I end up with space for 3 cantrips I cannot choose, and three spells I cannot choose; so "Choices Pending" is always active and the respec cannot continue.
Like I said, when I removed the mod, the game crashed when I tried to respec Minthara. I suspect it would do the same for my Tav if I removed the mod and tried to respec since you cannot change your race. Although... since those choices were already made, maybe it wouldn't crash?? Now I need to check that out.
Again, in all likelihood Minthara is stuck the way she is! I wanted to switch her to Devotion so I can "accidentally" break my oath and go oathbreaker. Oh well.
Of course the forum doesn't update with your reply until after I posted an update, lol!
Okay, let me give the Appearance Edit Enhanced a try and let you know.
Edit/Update: So Resculpting from Appearance Edit Enhanced worked for my drow Tav (was kind of good because I meant to select Lolth-sworn!) and was able to select my spells again as before. Then I did a Resculpt on Astarion (couldn't get his face right, but whatever...) and I could not change his race or subrace, but I could select his High elf spell, so that is promising.
I'm gonna bite the bullet and try this out on Minthara. I'll report back!
Well, resculpting Minthara with spells accessible from this mod (aka arcane trickster) worked fine. Can confirm it keeps her face and voice (thank the gods!), but let's me select spells!!
Sadly, though, the respec after did not work. I still had the same issue as before: "Choices Pending!" but no place to make those choices! Maybe starting from the post sculpt save will "register" the new spells, IDK. I'll keep you posted!
Yet Another Edit: Well, I bit the bullet and removed this mod, then went back to a save near the beginning of Act 2 to just after I rescued Minthara. Did all the steps, meet her at camp, she joins the team, and voila, I am able to respec her no problem. So, there it is. I suspect that the mod works fine for Tav but not for an NPC drow. Oh well, only 10 hours or so to make up again (this is my fourth run through Act 2, so its no big deal)!! Cheers!
i Love these class race combos, will they effect all random npcs/enemies also or just custom charterers? i have random encounter generator going so this can get wild.

I used almost all your mods. Thank you so much for them!
if for some reason it is this mod, disable it, recruit them and reenable it
