iprp_meleecost.2da

This 2da is used to supply values of effect for several different melee and ranged weapon, and general armor and bonus properties.

Usage

Armor bonus (plus variants versus alignment/racial type/etc)
Enchantment bonus (plus variants versus alignment/racial type/etc.)
Saving Throw bonuses
Mighty bonuses
Regeneration
Vampiric Regeneration

Additional Values

This is used by so many properties it is worth listing them here and the relevant reasons for extending this 2da or not:

Item Property Family	Settings Maximum / Maximum Notes	Worth Extending the 2da?
Attack Bonuses	max-attack-bonus = 20	Only if settings.tml is altered or SetAttackBonusLimit is used.
Enchantment Bonuses	max-attack-bonus = 20 max-damage-bonus = 100	Only if settings.tml is altered or SetAttackBonusLimit is used. Usually damage bonus is not reached, but you can increase it up to 255 using SetDamageBonusLimit.
Armor Bonuses	Dodge bonus combined caps at 20 Other AC is highest applies, so 20 again	Not really
Mighty	None known	Only if strength modifiers can go past +20 (requires 52 strength to get +21, nearly impossible to achieve unless ability bonuses are uncapped)
Regeneration	None known	Yes if you want insane regen per round but this is a very powerful ability
Vampiric Regeneration	None known	Yes if you want insane regen per round but this is a very powerful ability

TLK Value Notes

The TLK values are simply numbers - so TLK entry 1954 is "11" for instance. To extend further you can find the other numbers by using the values from iprp_skillcost.2da which go up to number 50, to not have to use custom TLK entries (2355 is "44" for instance).

2da Columns

Note that value 0 is "invalid" and not selectable in the toolset as such. Possibly a holdover for having toolset generate randomised item properties?

Column Label	Example	Valid Values	Description and Notes
Name	1045	Dialog.tlk string reference	The TLK entries simply state the number - eg; 1954 is "11".
Label	1	Human readable string	Unused by the game
Value	1	Integer	Value of the modifier, eg; 5 would add 5 AC or or Enchantment Bonus or whatever.
Cost	1	Integer	See parent page on how costs are calculated
VFX	1	Boolean	Only works for Vampiric Regeneration. It applies the "Negative damage" (shiny red) VFX to the weapon if set to 1 for that amount of vampiric regen.
