PRC and Leto and other questions.

[Legacy_Calabask]

               Greetings, I'm currently invovled in the development of a PW and we're considering using the PRC(Admittedly, a highly modified one in regards to content.), so, I have a few questions. 

1. Assuming you use the PRC, will you be able to do letos yet through the advanced editor?

2. Have any servers that use the current PRC or past versions of it scene any performance hits in it? What sort of performance issues does it have, if any?

3. On the ECL end, what sort of ECL system does it use in it's XP system and what is the system like? Is the system fairly easy to alter?

4. Are there any other issues to be wary of in regards to it?

               Will answer what I can since I'm in the process of altering the PRC for our world at this moment actually:
1. I suspect not, but someone else may be able to answer more definitively.

2. Most of it seems to be contained in databases so I'm not suspecting any, though we haven't got to the part of testing it thoroughly. Will have to get back to you on this.

3. I can say the ECL system is pretty easy to modify. Basically it's a number in a 2da that you change to tell the system how high a given race's ECL is. For example, on our server I switched genasi to 0 ECL simply by switching a 1 to a 0.

4. It still has some bugs. It's not in a bad state, but something to keep in mind that there are still some issues here and there you may need to alter yourself. Additionally to be able to use the options available at first level you'll need to set up the ConvoCC which allows characters to take the new options after making the character. As NWN is coded, it doesn't load haks and the like immediately so this was a necessary step.

As for actually how to alter and balance it for your module I'll point you to here where I've been asking Alex Warren for help on the PRC and balancing it:

               1. There is a special PRC version of Leto
2. The database loading/saving can lag a bit (it lags a lot on module load ;p ), other than that it should work fine. It should run smoothly on a machine with at least 512 MB of RAM.
3. The system is quite simple. There are many configuration options (you really need to read prc_inc_switches.nss in prc_include.hak '> ), but it should be easy to alter. As an alternative you can use PRC compatible PWFXP system by Knat (I can send you the latest version if you want).
4. >.> ConvoCC setup might seem a bit complicated, but as they say - 'first time is the hardest'

               How easy is it to add or remove skills to the PRCs? Also, is PRC done in 3rd edition or 3.5?

I think that's only a matter of editing skills.2da and cls_skill*.2da files.

There are classes from various sources, settings and editions (and some custom classes as well). NWN is based on 3rd edition and I think that most of PRC classes are also 3rd ed.
