Hey guys, I've been working on my module for the contest entry, but being new to NWN entirely, I'm having trouble setting up the premade character to playtest with. I was tooling around with various settings, but maybe I couldn't find what I was looking for. Is there a way to increase the character's level and grant them equipment? Or am I going to just have to have the quest giver give them plenty of gold, supply merchants so the player can buy what they want, and just make the enemies easily killed by a level 1 character?

Thanks for any help I get.

Well, can't you make a character in your module, use the DM tools (DebugMode 1, then various commands) to increase their level and such, then export the character?

Not sure about giving equipment though, could you put starting equipment in a container in the starting section?

I only have limited knowledge here, but hope it helps a bit!

What I did for my character:
-Put necessary equipment in the starting area of the module (for my scenario it only happens to be one item the character is wearing as the rest of their items are stored in a nearby armoire).
-Start a new character in the module.
-Use the console (~) to enable DebugMode (set to 1, you will know it is active if you can see triggers you have laid or if you can open the Chooser with the "." key), use dm_givelevel (X-1), where X is the level you want your character to end up at.
-Level up the character, grab the equipment you left in the starting area, and set up the character's quickbar.
-Save the character (delete the old Level 1 file and rename the saved character file to remove the "1" affix at the end).
-Remove the equipment you added to the starting area.
