| Column | Example Contents | Valid Values | Description and Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ID | 0 | Integer | This is the line ID referenced elsewhere by classes.2da or by functions LevelUpHenchman etc. |
| Label | Cleric | Anything | Human readable description |
| Name | 6900 | TLK reference | Shown at chargen for base classes where you get a choice of what package to choose. The name gets listed for players to read. |
| Description | 6901 | TLK reference | Shown at chargen for base classes where you get a choice of what package to choose. It gets put in the right hand side. |
| ClassID | 2 | classes.2da line | This is used in two instances:
The recommend and OK buttons in levelup on the PCs end otherwise don't check it so you can have a classes.2da "Package" reference to a shared package for non-base classes. Base classes can have theirs shown at level 1 and it is recommended to have 1 non-shared package for them. |
| Attribute | WIS | STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA | When a free ability score increase is available this one is recommended/used. It will default to STR if something invalid is used. |
| Gold | 75 | Positive Integer or **** | The amount of starting gold. Not relevant for prestige classes. |
| School | **** | spellschools.2da line reference or **** | Spell schools are only relevant for classes that can pick them (in the base game only Wizards). |
| Domain1 | 9 | domains.2da line reference or **** | If this class can pick a domain this one is put in the first slot |
| Domain2 | 17 | domains.2da line reference or **** | If this class can pick a domain this one is put in the second slot |
| Associate | **** | hen_companion.2da and hen_familiar.2da line reference or **** | The 2da line reference depends on the classes choice of a familiar or animal companion |
| SpellPref2DA | PackSPCleric1 | 2da resref or **** | 2da defining the priority of spells to pick at levelup (if using a Known Spell List like Sorcerer or Wizard) or priority to insert into the spellbook automatically (Clerics, Druids etc.) 2da has index, SpellIndex and Label columns. SpellIndex is the only one used by the game, which links to a spells.2da line. For priority the highest options get chosen first. So put the level 9 spells at the top, then 8 and so forth. You should be able to add in domain spells into this, eg Mage Armor on a clerics spell preference list with Mage Armor. Any spells not known by the class are basically ignored. This does mean you could technically create a generic spell preference 2da for use by many classes. Note: All cantrips are chosen automatically (in the order in spells.2da) and not restricted by spellschool or amount of spells available to learn/know and do not need to be in this 2da file. |
| FeatPref2DA | PackFTCler1 | 2da resref or **** | 2da defining the priority of feats to pick at levelup. Line 0 is the highest priority, then 1, 2 etc. - generally you want to put Epic feats first, then high end feats, then normal low end and less priority feats (eg spellcasting feats for non-spellcasters would go at the end). There are some fun instances of this not working quite as expected in some circumstances where 2 feats are available at levelup, since they are checked with a "Can I choose this feat?" in order, so while Cleave may be a higher priority to obtain than Power Attack, it might be best to order it Power Attack then Cleave, so the prereq feat is chosen first. 2da has index, FeatIndex and Label columns. FeatIndex is the only one used by the game, which links to a feat.2da line. |
| SkillPref2DA | PackSKCler1 | 2da resref or **** | |
| Equip2DA | PackEQCler1 | 2da resref or **** | |
| Soundset | 0 | soundset.2da reference | This selects which index in the sound set list to point to by default. Even if you know the list contents the problem is...soundsets are generally gender specific, so since Bioware didn't specify one per-gender you can't really use this very well! Worth just leaving as 0. |
| PlayerClass | 1 | 1 or 0 | If 1 then it is shown at chargen. For NPC only packages use 0. |
