Talk:Defensive stance

From NWNWiki

I have used this feat alot in many wierd builds. I also seam to remember casting spells and not having it cancel. I will verify. DaBear 13:00, 16 Nov 2005 (PST)

make sure u'r not confused with expertise. I think there's a toggle in one of the scripts for allowing spellcasting with expertise--Defunc7 14:08, 16 Nov 2005 (PST)

Confirmed it last night. Yes you can cast spells while under stance. Is this a bug of a feature? No Idea. However it makes being a Dwarven defender who is a spell caster make true strike almost useful. DaBear 05:49, 17 Nov 2005 (PST)

The way it drops so easily is kind of stupid. I've seen it drop just from being KD'ed. 148.177.1.219 09:56, 21 July 2006 (PDT)

How can you be a 'a stalwart bastion of defense' when sitting on your back?--Kamiryn 22:50, 21 July 2006 (PDT)

I know Taunt will brake the Defensive stance mode but I'm not sure of similar Skills based ability's will also do this. I'm guessing it may not be possible to use other activated skills such as Parry and Animal empathy. If anyone can test these please to so. --EmpireGuard 05:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Parry cannot be used at the same time as another combat mode (such as defensive stance). --The Krit 21:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scripting

• I can't seem to find the NWN script for this ability. The closest one is called X2_S1_DefStance that only has a comment in the main() that says " // You do not understand ... but you will :)". Anyone help? --Hobbes3 09:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

• There is no script for this ability. The script X2_S2_DefStance is probably executed when a defensive stance is activated, but the actual effects appear to be hardcoded, like the effects of all the other combat modes. --The Krit 18:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

• Is there any way to modify this so that players can still have Defensive stance while moving? (I plan allow moving but at reduced movement speed). --Hobbes3 21:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

• No way that I know of. --The Krit 19:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

You can use the events plugin: the defensive stance is an EVENT_TYPE_TOGGLE_MODE subtype N°12 to script it. --79.12.179.9 15 August 2008
