This is a Microsoft Excel 97 spreadsheet that encapsulates most of the 2DA files that control how item properties affect overall item cost. It contains fields and formulas to let you play around with the property cost and see how that will affect the overall cost of example items. It also allows you to easily compare the old cost of items to the new cost of items.
It is not intended to be a toolset replacement. If you want to check out the cost of a custom item the fastest way is to use the toolset. Item costs are calculated using pre-programmed formulas.
There are currently 64 example items from NWN and 127 example items from the SRD programmed in. The SRD is the System Reference Document and can be found at http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/srd.html
I hope to use this spreadsheet as a tool to help make a package of replaced 2DA files to rebalance the item costs in NWN.
This is a compilation of the old system into a single score. There were 1 that made this score of 8 then rounded to 8.

Just to say thank you so so much for taking the time and trouble to do this. I have been banging my head against a wall trying to figure out these formulas only to find that someone smarter has done all the work for me ;)
Thx :D
