This should prevent the "PC Properties" item from appearing in the official campaigns and other pre-1.69 modules. It may also prevent the item from appearing on enemies in newer modules, depending on the module. It won't remove items that have already spawned (assuming a saved game), but the item should not appear on future opponents.
This will also solve a (maybe not every) problem that some people have in being unable to attack after casting polymorph self.
If this item still appears, please let me know the details of the encounter, including the spells cast by you and your opponent. Also, please list the files in your override whose whose name starts with "nw_s", "x0_s", or "x2_s".
This can also be used by builders to suppress "PC Properties" in modules that do not have horses. However, this can be a little tricky, as you would need to make sure the module does not use the new (core-resource) 1.69 module event handlers, then re-compile all the scripts in your module. (Even then, paladins summoning their mount can still get this item.)
Modules with horses can safely use this override, as long as you do not make use of the extra functionality. (Or if you are careful about it, or if you have completely replaced the horse system.) See below for more details.
Basically, this override consists of a new skin include (for builders, but doesn't hurt players) and some BioWare scripts recompiled against the include, using the pre-1.69 spellhook. These can also be found in my alternate horse scripts -- I made a separate entry for this package because these scripts do not affect the horse system, just the skin variable system.
Builders should be aware that my skin include has some extended functionality not supported by the standard BioWare scripts. In particular, I allow you to specify an item other than the PC's skin item for storing "skin variables". You can use this to store your own skin variables on an undroppable item not destroyed upon login, but the skin variables used by the standard horse system will still be kept on the skin item.
The source is already part of this. See x3_inc_skin.nss. (No spell scripts were changed, just what they include.)

I don't suppose you could post the source for this version.

Cool. Preventing headaches on on PW makes the effort worth it, in my opinion.

I've been using this on my PW for the past three months and it's been a great headache preventer .... thanks for this and all of your contributions to the community. _________________________ The Savage Frontier and Surrounds - NWN PW based in the Forgotten Realms: Link
I will definitely be looking at this and seeing if it fixes my issues with the PC Properties Skin appearing in loot drops. It's not been a huge issue but does get a little annoying at times. Thanks for all of the hard work. I'll post my rating after I've had time to see how it works in my mod.
