FRW Character Creator, v.2.0.0
by ladydesire ([email protected])
Updated: 22 January 2008
---Purpose:
This module is designed to help players create balanced characters for use in other community-made modules. It will level your characters and give them an appropriate amount of gold for their new level. It will also permit you to purchase a limited assortment of items so that you can have a basic equipment foundation to take with you into new modules. The emphasis is on creating balanced, not overpowered characters that adhere to the classic D&D equipment magic standards endorsed by the Forgotten Realms Weave (FRW) group. It can also serve as a waystation for characters between modules, allowing you to sell off loot, empty your inventory of unwanted items, and buy new gear/potions.
Finally, it serves as a showcase for FRW modules, allowing users to meet NPC's from these modules, learn about the module offerings available, and purchase some of the custom items from these modules.
---Features:
* Level up your character & receive an appropriate amount of gold for this new level.
* Equip your character with a basic foundation of gear that is appropriate for your level. For low-level characters, these include silver & cold iron masterwork items.
* Meet with NPC's from FRW modules and learn about those modules.
* Access the Bartender's Store, which contains (at a premium price) custom items from FRW modules.
* Sell off loot from previous modules, ditch unwanted items, and re-equip your character between adventures.
* Remove no-drop items from your inventory.
* Do a limited amount of crafting (no magic station).
* Adjust your alignment.
New in this release:
Support for the FRW Persistent Companion System (requires hak file).
Leveling up to Level 30 to support MotB and future Epic Level modules.
1/15: I will be posting an updated version of the FRW Character Creator that supports the Epic Levels currently available in Mask of the Betrayer within the week; I will also be adding support for the FRW Persistant Companion System, including an area that you can use to acquire some available Persistant Companions. Thank you for your patience and your continued interest in this project.
1/22: In addition to the new features mentioned above, I have added a way for a level one character to gain a small amount of gold; simply speak with Chatter as you normally would to level up and select the Level 1 option.
2/15: added the FRW Persistant Companion hak do the list of downloads to ease locating that file.
Seems like a really useful mod, however I always like to have a little arena area to try out my character before I send them off to some mod. but otherwise seemed good.

Thanks for the votes folks; deuxhero, if you downloaded version 2, you will need to also download the frw_persistent_companion.7z and extract that to your hak folder. I will be including that in the next update which should be going up shortly.

I like that you added some character to the people, and the plugs for your mods were nice. I enjoyed shopping there as well. Thank you! :) _________________________ Romance Modules List | Male Human Portrait | Anera Modified Portrait | Artwork | Voice Samples

Module doesn't load, I extract the 7z to a temp file, then move the .mod file (the onlything in there, no readme apparently) to my moduals folder, when I try to start it, it just stays there (and my screen is darker then normal loading screens)

Great module; very handy for designing character builds. Should you ever consider updating this module, I would suggest adding a "firing range". Basically, a room with attackable target-dummys (similar the ones Brother Merring has you practice on before fighting the Mossfelds, but they would regenerate) so you can test out the damage/special effects of newly gained powers. I'd also recommend adding some level-appropriate non-armor clothing to Chatter's merchandise. It's really hard to equip oneself when the only clothing available are tacky robes... totally inappropriate for a PC aspiring to be dashing Duelist. _________________________ Sand: I think it is time everyone marched behind me, your new glorious leader.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. A very useful resource particularly if you will be playing a FRW module... _________________________ Works of B G P Hughes: Link AME Chairman

Voted 9.00, because this mod does exactly what it should do and is a Must Have for FRW module players.

@Kunikos: Not yet; I will see if I can add those items when I add the scroll stores in the next update.

Is Shaper's Alembic or Enchanter's Satchel sold in this module? Or selling essences?
