Companion to 2026_05_10_00.sql. The spawn-data migration teaches the
worldserver where Paragon characters spawn and what per-level base
stats they have; this one teaches it which weapon/armor skill lines
to grant at first character login.
Without these rows a fresh Paragon character lands in their newbie
zone with no weapon or armor proficiencies (auto-attack greys out
on anything beyond a fist) -- the universal classMask=0 rows in
playercreateinfo_skills only cover Defense, Unarmed, Cloth,
languages, Mounts, and Companion Pets.
Adds 20 rows in playercreateinfo_skills with classMask=2048 (class
12 only) for every weapon and armor proficiency:
- Weapons: Swords, Axes, Bows, Guns, Maces, 2H Swords, Dual Wield,
Staves, 2H Maces, 2H Axes, Daggers, Thrown, Crossbows,
Wands, Polearms, Fist Weapons.
- Armor: Plate Mail, Mail, Leather, Shield. (Cloth already
granted via the classMask=0 universal row.)
Idempotent: DELETE WHERE classMask=2048 then INSERT, so it replays
cleanly on a partially-seeded DB (e.g. one where a contributor hand-
patched these rows before the migration landed).
Verified locally: applies cleanly twice in a row, worldserver restart
now logs `>> Loaded 1391 Player Create Skills` (was 1371 pre-Paragon
= +20 class-12 rows) and a freshly-rolled Draenei Paragon spawns with
the full weapon/armor kit.
CLIENT-PATCHES.md troubleshooting block updated to call out the
"Paragon spawns naked / can't equip anything" failure mode and list
all three migrations in the current rebuild recipe.

mod-paragon
Server-side support module for the custom CLASS_PARAGON (id 12).
What it does today
Hooks Player::IsClass / Player::HasActivePowerType so Paragon
inherits Death Knight ability mechanics where it matters:
- Rune system:
InitRunes, rune cooldown tick, runic power regen,Spell::CheckRuneCost/Spell::TakeRunePower,SMSG_RESYNC_RUNEScast flags, combat exit grace reset. - DK ability scripts:
spell_dk_*,MUST_BE_DEATH_KNIGHTcast result, DK aura effects.
It is intentionally narrow: the hook only fires for
(realClass == PARAGON, queriedClass == DEATH_KNIGHT, context == CLASS_CONTEXT_ABILITY).
Other DK-flavored contexts (Ebon Hold teleport gating, heroic start
level, DK-only taxi mount, talent point math on Ebon Hold, etc.) keep
their normal behavior for Paragon.
HasActivePowerType additionally claims POWER_RUNIC_POWER and
POWER_RUNE for Paragon, which keeps the rune pool sized correctly
in Player::InitStatsForLevel even if Paragon's primary power type is
later switched away from runic power.
Building
Auto-detected by modules/CMakeLists.txt (GetModuleSourceList globs
every subdirectory). No additional CMake plumbing is needed; rebuild
the worldserver image and the loader symbol Addmod_paragonScripts
gets linked into the static modules target.
SQL layout
SQL files live under data/sql/db-world/base/ and
data/sql/db-characters/base/ — the standard AzerothCore module path
that the built-in DBUpdater scans (see
src/server/database/Updater/UpdateFetcher.cpp). Files placed there
are applied automatically by worldserver / dbimport on startup and
recorded by hash in the updates table of the target database, so
re-runs are idempotent. Any new SQL added under those directories will
be picked up on the next container/server start without manual import.
