Introduction

The CEP Creature Wizard is a DM tool that allows in-game customization of
creatures. It can be activated either by the using the CEP Creature
Wizard item or the NWN v1.69 DM/Player Custom Tool feats.



Using the Wizard

1. Create a CEP Creature Wizard item from the palette location: *CEP 2.1 Custom Palette|*DM Specific|Miscellaneous

Guide: CEP Creature Wizard File

2. Create the creature you want to edit.

3. Activate the CEP Creature Wizard and target the creature.



CEP Creature Wizard Item

Guide: CEP Creature Wizard File

Name: CEP Creature Wizard
Tag: ZEP_CW_IT
ResRef: zep_cw_it
Location: *CEP 2.1 Custom Palette|*DM Specific|Miscellaneous

NOTE: The tool item requires that tag-based scripting is enabled for the module.

Alternately, the file "zep_cw_custtool" can be renamed for use with the 1.69 DM/Player Custom Tool feats. (e.g. x3_dm_tool01)



Features

Change Alignment
Set creature to one of the nine alignments. (Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral,
Lawful Evil, Neutral Good, True Neutral, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Good,
Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Evil)

Change Appearance
Set creature's appearance using "previous/next" buttons or type in the line number of the appearance.

Change Color
Created to work with the new tintable tail models this works basically the same
way as the color changer in the Body Tailor. However the CEP Creature
Wizard automatically sets the target to tail 4000 (with appropriate
invisible creature model) if it isn't already set to one of the tintable
tails (4000 - 4999).

Change Description
Type in a new description for the creature.

Change Faction
Set creature to one of the four standard factions. (Commoner, Defender, Hostile, Merchant)

Change Level
Level creatures in any class up to a maximum total level of 40.

Change Name
Type in a new name for the creature.

Change Portrait
Set creature's portrait using "previous/next" buttons, type in the line
number of the portrait or automatically match the portrait to the
current appearance.

Change Size
Changes the appearance to one of the invisible scalable appearances and sets
the tail to match the creature's previous appearance. All invisible
scalable appearances are available (Normal/Large Creature, Dragon and PC
Races of both genders) in both the "glow" and "no glow" variety.

Change Tail
Set creature's tail using "previous/next" buttons or type in the line number of the tail.

Change Wings
Set creature's wings using "previous/next" buttons or type in the line number of the wings.

Manage Visual Effects
Add visual effects by using "previous/next" or type the line number of the
visual effect. Remove all visual effects created by the wizard.

Copy
Make a copy of the creature.
