| exptable.2da | Used to figure out when the characters levelup. | No | Yes | No | 41 | Line 41 is actually making level 40 the highest. EE has some bugs if you go over 40 levels for PCs around spellcasting. | ||||||
| feat.2da | Feats available for creatures to take, or are granted to them. | Yes | Yes | Yes | 32,768 | uint16 used in network however not recommended to go over 32K even if 65,536 is absolute maximum. There are likely problems with subdial feats if you do this. | ||||||

| iprp_abilities.2da | Item Property - ability list. For each IPRP file it's assumed server needs it for item property generation/properties or Get2DAString for crafting.

| iprp_acmodtype.2da | Item Property - AC modification type. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | 5 hardcoded AC types. | ||||||

| iprp_alignment.2da | Item Property Alignments | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | Amount of alignments is hardcoded. | ||||||
| iprp_ammocost.2da | Unlimited Ammo options. Resref of the "unlimited ammo" to equip depending on if arrow, bolt or bullet. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Looks like more could be added. | ||||||
| iprp_ammotype.2da | Unlimited Ammo "Ammunition type". Since it's tied to the weapon this is probably only used by the toolset, since the iprp_ammocost.2da determines the TLK string of the actual type (Eg; "Unlimited Fire 1d6") | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | As with ranged weapons, ammo is hardcoded to 3 types. | ||||||
| iprp_amount.2da | Itme Property "Amount". Is simply 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with TLK strings "Amount: 1", etc. attached. It used for things like Monster On Hit: Ability Drain [Drains Strength] [Amount: 3] | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Needs testing. | ||||||

| iprp_chargecost.2da | Item Property Charges / Use or Uses / Day options. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | The amount of these is hardcoded since there is no options in this 2da for what each one is defined as. So no 10 Charges / Use can be added. | ||||||
| iprp_color.2da | Item Property Light Color choice. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | The lights relate to particular VFX lines, thus this list is hardcoded (but changing the TLK values and assinging different VFX models/progfx info may work). | ||||||
| iprp_combatdam.2da | Item Property Extra Melee Damage type of damage | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | Only can have the 3 main physical damage types for this item property. | ||||||
| iprp_costtable.2da | Cost Table. This defines what 2da is loaded for each CostTableResRef ID number in itempropdef.2da You can add new item properties (which are just for the item description or to add/remove cost, and have scripted effects) by adding more rows to this. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. | ||||||
| iprp_damagecost.2da | Item Property Damage Bonus and EffectDamageShield / some other things that need static and variable bonuses like 1d6 and 2d8. | Yes | Yes | Yes | 127 (or possibly 128) | Certainly going to line 129 or higher works for the server end (damage is done correctly) but the client won't show it correctly in the character sheet because it looks up 2da line as a negative (impossible). Line 159 was tested which had the string "-97 Magical Damage" since 159 - 128 = 31, and 128 - 31 = 97. It shows correctly on items, and higher lines are safe for NPCs to use. | ||||||
| iprp_damagetype.2da | Item Property Damage Bonus type of damage to apply. Interestingly has "subdual" and "physical" as options, perhaps hinting at an earlier damage system more aligned to D&D rules. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | Damage types are hardcoded in the engine, although the names can be at least altered here. | ||||||

| iprp_feats.2da | Item Property Bonus Feat list. Keeps the amount in the toolset managable but you can extend this to be almost any feat.2da entry (some however will not function). | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Needs testing. Likely at least the length of feat.2da | ||||||
| iprp_immuncost.2da | Item Property Damage Immunity cost table | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. | ||||||
| iprp_immunity.2da | Item Property Immunity: Misc table, eg: Immunity: Death Magic | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | This seems a static hardcoded list, engine defined, which has no correlation to the script constants, sadly much smaller too. | ||||||
| iprp_kitcost.2da | Item Property Healing Kit cost table | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. | ||||||
| iprp_lightcost.2da | Item Property Light cost table (Brightness) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | Specific visualeffects.2da lines are loaded with a combination of this and iprp_color.2da. Sadly these are hardcoded although the VFX lines could be altered. | ||||||
| iprp_matcost.2da | Item Property Material cost table | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. This property doesn't do anything in the engine and can be altered fine. | ||||||
| iprp_material.2da | Item Property Material table | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. This property doesn't do anything in the engine and can be altered fine. | ||||||

| iprp_monsterhit.2da | Item Property Monster: On Hit table. It is hardcoded so should probably not be altered. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | These references are hardcoded, even if the 2da is used to load the correct parameter tables. | ||||||
| iprp_neg10cost.2da | Used for Item Properties; Ability Score Reduction and Skill Penalty. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. | ||||||
| iprp_neg5cost.2da | Used for Item Properties; Enchantment Penalty (attack and damage), Damage Penalty, Decreased AC, Reduced Saving Throws, Attack Penalty | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. | ||||||
| iprp_onhit.2da | Item Property On Hit table, defines all the hardcoded engine On Hit properties and the param1 values (eg; what ability to drain, the duration/change to occur, etc.). The cost table determines the DC. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Hardcoded | This list is hardcoded to engine values. However the sub properties (DC, chance/duration) can be altered for particular ones as noted. | ||||||
| iprp_onhitcost.2da | Item Property On Hit cost table (the DC of the On Hit saving throw) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Unknown | Additional rows can be added just needs testing. | ||||||
