Neverwinter Vault has posted an interview with CODI's Papermonk and Halfelf, the force behind the just released NWN Character Creator, a software package that allows for new character races in NWN and much more. Here's something from that interview:
2) You've just released your software titled "NWN Character Creator". Could you tell us what are it's major features?
Papermonk: I'll let HE field this one.
Halfelf: The Character Creator (We call it the CC) allows you to create new characters, same as in NWN. The difference is that there are no artificial limits placed on characters created with the CC. If you have weird races enabled in your racialtypes.2da file, you can make characters with those weird races.
Currently, the feature set includes the ability to create characters with custom races, spells, sound sets, feats, familiars, companions, and more. It allows you to choose a different appearance than the one that the racialtypes.2da selects for you. It also allows you to be more selective about color, allowing the metallic shades, black, etc. You can also be choosier on tattoos – if you want your character to only have a tattoo on your right forearm, you now can.
You can also designate special abilities, which are basically innate spells. There's a lot there, and more coming. I'm very willing to entertain suggestions on what else should be added. For instance, support for a custom deity.2da is planned, which restricts domains and alignments to different deities, if that character is a cleric. If you're not a cleric, it's a convenient dropdown box. |
