As of this moment, Weapons are selected based on race, background and class. Str and Dex are used to determine if certain feats are good or have or wasted and select something else. Weapon selection will usually first make sure an NPC has a melee weapon first and then if certain factors come up, will then open it up to offering a ranged weaponed as well. However, if you have something specific in mind, you can select the exact weapons you want the NPC to have and the Generator will use those instead. I have not touched the Designer screen for this since I originally created it and will be modifying it in the future so you can select the weapon slots you want to fill and the Generator will make sure a weapon has been selected. As of yet I do not take HP's or AC into account because of how they vary between levels, a first level front line fighter looks very different from a tenth level front line fighter, these are factors that are hard to put into quantifyable measurements to be determined given the open nature for you to add anything you want to the system. Now I do plan on putting a scripting trigger in the weapon selection code so that if you come up with some kind of determinatin factors you wish to explore, you can and not wait for me to hard code something into that system.schporto said:Well then I guess I'll stop being lazy and try to add a few coments.
The only thing I realy notice is all the NPCs use melee weapons. Most of the time when I create either an NPC or a PC they will choose a melee or ranged weapon as their primary weapon and still have a backup weapon of the other kind. That decision is usualy base around a few factors. Which is better their strength or dexterity? How high is their AC? How many hit points do they have? Based on how you use weights, I'd think you could build this in by making weapon choice later in the process.
I did see one rogue use 2 weapons, so I have the idea that that is possible.
