Ability ID codes (Dragon Age II)

Ability ID codes offer the powerful ability to customize your character, your companion skill trees, and more. One of the fun things you can do with this is turn your character into a custom class by adding and removing individual talent trees. This is recommended over using the class change codes mentioned later, as they can cause game scripting problems.

To modify a character, they must be in your party and selected under your direct control.


 * ~ add talent XXX to selected character
 * ~ remove talent XXX from selected character

There are a vast number of codes that can be used to modify your character. You can add talents from different trees or classes without the tree or class unlocked. The largest unformatted list resides in the Raw Talent Codes section, but more detailed analysis can be found further below.

To add a tree, search in the Class Talent Trees and following sections and add it to your desired character, including base talent tree specialization bonuses and any additional talents you might want. This in effect gives you bonus talent points.

There is a limit of 12 talent trees that you can have in your ability sheet before the display starts having layout problems. This limit includes your Mabari Warhound talent. You can remove unwanted trees with the  command, which can be useful to hide the tree (and stay within the 12 tree limit on your abilities screen) but allow you to continue using the talents within—except in the case of the Mabari Warhound. If you do this, make sure you have copied the ones you want to use into your quick bar or you will have to re-add the tree to access them again.

You will be unable to drag and drop abilities onto your action bar until the removed tree is made visible again by using  and the appropriate tree code.

If you use these codes at the beginning of the game after you generate your character, be sure to leave room for your three class specialization talents which will appear at the end of Year One. You may choose to remove them afterwards depending on your desires.

Talent Code Examples
 * - Show the Reaver specialization tree on your ability sheet
 * - Activate the Base Talent for the Reaver tree
 * - Hide the Force Mage talent tree from your ability sheet
 * - Add the Force Mage talent Fist of the Maker

Basic Talent Codes

 * numbers 2-8 ~ add a blank command to command slot 1 so move that aside to another command slot first.  It has a faint black outline and most of the time when you mouse over it is shows (null) for the command.  These do various things like TEST_MELEE, TEST_SET_TRAP, etc.
 * numbers 10-15 ~ seem to add injuries to your char''
 * numbers 100-10000 ~ have no known useful effect.
 * 1 adds a funky attack command ~ if you click this in explore mode you do damage to yourself.
 * 6 adds champion's refresh (behavior tbd)
 * 700000 adds Summon Mabari to your first slot. Removing it removes it from both your quick bar and from your talent tree.

 * See the below for a more human readable dissection of the codes

Class Talent Codes
Adding a class with these codes will cause you to retain your initial talents, with access to the new class talent trees. For example, if you are a Mage and you add Rogue, you will keep your Mage spells. If you do this before the year one cut scene then it will add Rogue specialization options, allowing a type of dual-classing.


 * Add Warrior Class - 100000
 * Add Rogue Class - 200000
 * Add Mage Class - 300000

Notes:


 * You are treated as your original class with respect to plot except in the following ways:
 * The brother or sister companion may not have dialog if you add the class talent, that triggers them differently than your original class. They will still be there, the one who isn't however, will have dialog even though they aren't standing there with the party.
 * One can change the brother/sister command with the  command to modify the party but: For triggered scenes with dialog, the game seems to trigger the companion based on the last class added.
 * For example, if you start off with a rogue, but add the mage class: all triggered scenes will have the brother/sister companion based on the mage class. If they aren't in your party, their dialog will still play, but they will not be physically there. This is even with using the  command. It seems to be hardcoded. We can only wait for people to mod the game in hopes of changing this.
 * If your class change causes you to switch brother/sister you will get a minor progress blocker in the Birthright quest where you need to go back to your house and speak with your sibling to advance the quest. Use the following work around:
 * Travel to the house
 * Activate the console and input  or   depending on whether you need to talk to Carver or Bethany
 * Choose option 2 - Set At Base
 * Talk to them and it will let you advance the quest
 * Classes can be removed with
 * If you add more than one class the class with the lowest number seems to override higher number ones
 * Adding classes in different orders can increase your hp and mana pool.
 * If you have already changed your class, you should remove it before you add a new one.
 * Through clever switching of classes you can do things like use both the tome of arcane power and tome of physical technique to add extra bonus points to your Hawke

Class Talent Trees
For each class, x01000 through x10000 correspond to subspecs. Advanced subclasses are from x07000 to x10000. Companion character specific subclasses are located from x11000, x12000 and above as DLC characters are added.

By default, each tree will be added without an invested specialization point. To activate the Base Talent in any given tree, change the last digit in the sequence to a 1. Doing this will allow you to spend gained ability points in it as you see fit. Be sure to read Talent Editing Commands for important information regarding usage and limitations.

Quick reference for each tree is as follows:
 * Warrior:
 * 101000 - Weapon and Shield; 102000 - Two-Handed; 103000 - Vanguard; 104000 - Defender
 * 105000 - Warmonger; 106000 - Battle Master; 107000 - Templar; 109000 - Reaver; 110000 - Berserker
 * Rogue:
 * 201000 - Dual Weapon; 202000 - Archery; 203000 - Sabotage; 204000 - Specialist
 * 205000 - Scoundrel; 206000 - Subterfuge; 207000 - Shadow; 208000 - Duelist; 210000 - Assassin
