This is partly tutorial and partly reference. Users are expected to have already read Huntsman's tutorials on henchman creation. It should be equally useful if you are using a community henchman system, such as the MBH kit, since this goes beyond basic hencman creation.
Contains: All the standard levelup packages described, How to make custom level-up packages, Scripting examples on making dual-class henchmen, all the things you need to know but nobody mentioned, Premade custom .2das for all classes, and Those Files That went Missing!
Cheers! :)
Version 1.01 has just two minor changes: There's a ready made hak file (only 100kb!) with all the premade custom packages, and a download without the pdf file for those who are content to use the MS Word document. That's a much smaller file to download, as well.
This is an excellent resource. It helped me to fix my specialized henchman. I'd give it a 10 just for the reference info. The 2da's are bonus. _________________________ My book: "Rojuun" Link "Resurrection Gone Wrong" Link and now "Resurrection Gone Wronger" Link Twitter if you like insane rambling: Link

Anything that helps me understand what the bloody hell I am doing with henchmen deserves a ten. Very nice work and much appreciated. K.O _________________________ Cheers, *K.O* "Eliminating the need for a PnP game one NWN area at a time."

I should have guessed that was the problem! I have done the same mistake often enough! lol No, I don't think a NPC with the wrong alignment will be levelled up in 1.68 or any other version for that matter. It's just something you'll have to be on the lookout for. Cheers!

Nereng, The problem with the Character cration wizard in the Toolset was that the Elf Druid was set to Chaotic Good. I had to change the alignment to True Neutral, and the AutoLevelUpTo() script worked. I am using patch 1.66, so I don't know if the 1.68 patch will level up a Chaotic Good Druid?

I had no problems with that during the writing of The Henhcman Supplement. I tried it several times when I made the custom 2das for the druid class, and the levelling up as such caused no problems. Can you describe any problems you've been having? As far as I can tell, none of the changes in patch 1.68 should cause problems, but you never can tell fo certain, of course... Cheers! :)

Anyone ever had problems leveling up a druid henchman?
Posted by Poecile at 09:34:20 Voted9.75
Yeah, the OnPerception script is a good one to use, I tried it out using LevelHenchmanUpTo (for multi-class) and it worked like a charm. What I had in mind was meeting a henchman during a battle and I guess I needed a higher level henchie in order to survive the fight. I didn't know that the Toolset Wizard is not compatible with the Level-up process, but your pdf helped clear up that problem. I also figure I should do my part to counter the low vote/download ratio. 8-)
