Spell exclusion flags at 0x1e

[Galactygon]

Updates on the bitfield (testing BGEE:SoD):

 

bit14 - Exclude Trueclass Mages/Sorcerers/Bards

bit21 - Exclude Blades

bit22 - Exclude Jesters

bit23 - Exclude Skalds

bit31 - Exclude Druids/Rangers/Wildmages

 

Both bit14 and bit31 is shared among different classes with class-specific behavior. i.e. setting bit31 for a priest spell excludes druids/rangers from gaining the spell at level up, while setting the same bit for a wizard spell prevents wildmages from learning the spell via scroll ("Your spell school does not permit you to learn this spell."). Bards receive the same message when attempting to learn the spell via scrolls.

 

Here is the original listing:

 

 

bit 0: Exclude Chaotic priests. (BG2 & HoW)
bit 1: Exclude Evil priests. (BG2 & HoW)
bit 2: Exclude Good priests. (BG2 & HoW)
bit 3: Exclude GENeutral priests. (BG2 & HoW)
bit 4: Exclude Lawful priests. (BG2 & HoW)
bit 5: Exclude LCNeutral priests. (BG2 & HoW)
bit 6: Exclude Abjurers
bit 7: Exclude Conjurers
bit 8: Exclude Diviners
bit 9: Exclude Enchanters
bit 10: Exclude Illusionists
bit 11: Exclude Invokers
bit 12: Exclude Necromancers
bit 13: Exclude Transmuters
bit 14: Wild Magic (exclude Generalists) (BG2)
bit 15 - 29: Unused
bit 30: Exclude Cleric/Paladin
bit 31: Exclude Druid/Ranger

Avenger: Is there a complete list of all bits in the bitfield based on the internal code? There are still a lot of unknowns that I cannot verify, possibly because they apply to classes that do not have spellcasting ability.

[Avenger]

It is simply the kit bits: 1 - berserker, 0x80000000 - wildmage

The first 6 or so bits overlap with alignment. And the last 2 bits overlap with cleric + paladin and druid + ranger

 

So yeah, cleric of talos should be 0x01000000

Just load dltcep's item editor and hover the mouse over the kit usability fields.

Update on the first post: excluding cleric/druid/paladin/ranger kits do not work. Priest spells can only be excluded by alignment of by the last two bits cleric/druid.

That's sadly true.

[subtledoctor]

So are the racial exclusions not applied here? Near Infinity shows bit 23 excluding elves, bit 24 excluding dwarves, etc. Is that old information, superseded by the information in this thread?

[Avenger]

Yeah, there is no racial limitation. But don't believe me, just test it

 

As far as i know, spells got only class (limited), kit (limited) and alignment based restrictions.

[subtledoctor]

So, I think more of these fields actually work than is supposed here. In ignoring this post, I had my mod set a mage/thief kit share the Archer (Feralan) exclusion flag; and I set all arcane spells with the ‘illusion’ primary type to be excluded from Archers. Result: my mage/thief kit cannot learn illusion spells from scrolls. So, the field might not work to exclude priest spells from Archers (I gather all rangers are set to get all druid spells at level-up, presumably through a process that bypasses kit exclusion criteria), but the field is still doing something.
