Message: <blockquote data-quote="LightPhoenix" data-source="post: 1563947" data-attributes="member: 115">You might do better asking on the Custom Content forums at Bioware's site, it's quite active and everyone is really quick to help. Races are one of the few parts of NWN that are pretty difficult to create, since much is hard-coded.  There are a couple of ways though.  There's a utility put out by a group called CODI called Character Creator.  It will read custom entries in the races.2da file, and when run will create a non-standard race character.  It's a bit of a kludge, and involves using an outside program to create your character, but it also requires the least scripting, only requiring 2da file changes. The other way that comes to mind is to write a script and put it in the module's OnEnter event, that detects what's put in the sub-race category and then attaches an "armor", actually a creature hide, to the player's creature hide equipment slot, not normally accessable by the player.  Using the dynamic item properties in HotU you could assign all sorts of things to it. I'm not sure off hand if there's a way to assign something to the wing node of a PC... for example, for use for the Avariel.  You could assign a visual effect, and convert one of the wing models.  Also, I think DLA did their dynamic quivers by replacing the neck node of the PC when you equip a bow or arrows... I'm not sure how they did that though.  You'd have to look into that. The Sunblade wouldn't be all too tricky, though parts would be.  Specifically the usage as a bastard sword/short sword.  You'd probably have to decide on it being one or the other.  I personally would choose Short Sword and then import a bastard sword animation (you could use one of Bioware's) as a short sword.  Then just make the weapon in the toolset... everything else is pretty easy to script, if it can't be simply added to the item as a property.</blockquote>
