Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods help making a simple custom skill

Hello, I just want to create a simple custom skill.
I've read this guide : CLICK

I want to create a skill based on the skill Melee Power Stance (Line 1614 in SkillData.xlsm).
Basically I want to change the bonus damage and speed and hit chance. I can't find out which part to change.
Icon is unimportant, I just want to use this skill for 1 of my character.

Thank you for any help!

so I guess this can not be done?

Making skills is not really my specialty and I haven't touched it in about a year.


With all the qualifiers out of the way, I think you are in the wrong file for adjusting the actual effects of the skill.

You'll see on column 16 there's a list of parameters like this:
Stance,200,-1,SKILLBOOST_MeleePowerAttack

You need to adjust the SKILLBOOST_MeleePowerAttack, or more precisely if you want a custom one to make a new SKILLBOOST.


All of these are illogically located in the file Potion.xlsm

I think you'll find what you need in there, just control + F for SKILLBOOST and copy/paste your own entry then rename it.

thanks alot! with your information I managed to create exactly what I want.
