Invalid Character
« on: October 20, 2005, 02:27:00 pm »
I just created a new character (Silphir Hriig, Half-Elf, Fighter) and choose Luck of Heroes and Point blank shot as feats. When I log in I get a "Invalid Character, player doesnt have prerequisit skille for feat" screen.

My bioware login is "slipperhero".

Edit: Attached error message

Do fighters get a bonus feat at first level?  I didn't think so (but I could be wrong, been a while since i had a 1st level fighter.)

But yeah, half elves dont get that human bonus feat I dont think, so maybe its two feats at first level somehow thats causing a problem?

*scratches head* I've gotta be wrong about something here if it allowed you to take two feats at first level.

Yes fighters get the extra feat.

I noticed there is a "Invalid_char_2da" download. Will this fix my problem?
I'm currently at work so I have no way of checking it out.

Edit: Perhaps I even got it already. Sheez.. I'm tired, no air condition.

Another check on the character shows it also got the feats "Artist" and "Silver Palm".
Do half-elfs get those for free or is this the reason the character is bugged?

Yes that would explain it. Both can only be taken at creation, and artist even needs you to have perform skill. Something has gone terribly wrong in the creation there slipperhero :)

Yeah, thought those two feats looked a bit out of place. Weird part is I never even considered taking those. Oh well...
Don't know how the client/server interacts at creation but perhaps lag could have caused it?

Should I just recreate the character with a slight change in name, or wait and have it fixed with Leto?

Your choice, though since you just created the character, most likely we'll just delete it and you can remake rather than LETOing the thing and possibly screwing it up more.  If you don't want to wait for that, make a new character with a slightly different name (space or something added) and you should be good. 
  If you go that route, be sure to post a character deletion request for your original character.

Ok. I'll recreate it with a light modification to the name. (and double check and triple check it before finalizing it)
Deletion request in progress.

I tried to recreate the character with the same stats, skills and feats as before, and by default it receives the feats "Artist" and "Silver Plam" (although I never bothered to click Play when I noticed the feats). Is there another half-elf out there that can confirm that these feats comes with the half-elf race, so that these are not the cause of my problems?

My primary character is a half-elf, and he doesn't have either of those feats.

*slaps forehead*
Found the problem, I had a race_feat_hfelf.2da in my override directory.
It includes Artist and Silver Palm as base feats. Must have picked it up on some other server I played on earlier.
