The Permanent Ability Boosting Books Mini-Pack (Release 1)
This is the second mini-pack to come from the Magical Miscellanea Package (MMP), a large item package I have posted on the NWVault and am currently updating (~450 items currently). I decided to release these books separately for two reasons, firstly, because they�re quite fun and easy to use, and secondly to bring a bit more attention to the upcoming MMP v1.3 (which will include these books as well as 100+ other items). The reason I decided to make these is that items like this are included in some unrelated CRPG games (e.g. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Oblivion) and people have always enjoyed them � so why not NWN2 players?
Be forewarned, these items will make a character register as �illegal� on Persistent Worlds that have �Enforce Legal Characters� enabled (which is practically every Persistent World I imagine). Do not use these items on any character you intend to use on a PW, and do not include them in any Persistent World�s loot � if you intend to do so, please backup your Local Vault/Server Vault contents beforehand. The change is irreparable as far as I know, so consider yourselves warned. For these reasons, I recommend only using the items for singleplayer, LAN multiplayer and non-PW or non-legal character enforcing multiplayer purposes.
Feel free to change these items to suit your individual needs, but give proper credit, and as always, please consider providing feedback and voting. E-mail me if you have specific questions.
Finally, thanks goes out to J.O.G, for helping me produce a functional script. Prior to this little project I had done literally no scripting with NWN2, but thanks to his consistent help and solutions, it was a fun experience and a manageable learning curve. Thanks J.O.G!

NOTES
-Included: 18 books (3 for each ability) that permanently boost an ability contingent on their individual strength. The books are numbered Vol. I to Vol. III, and the Roman numeral in each name refers to the actual boost/bonus to the ability (e.g. Flamestaff�s Manual Vol. III increases Intelligence by 3). These boosts mesh fine with other magical items and may be used an unlimited amount of times and in any combination. A single script is also included which fires when the items are activated, granting the appropriate bonus and displaying a text message.
-How to install/use: Using this mini-pack is very easy, you just have to import the items and script into your module. Then you can place them wherever you like within the mod and when you activate them the script will take care of the rest.
-Future updates/inclusions: Only two small changes, firstly the script is going to be tidied up slightly (the switch-case system will be replaced with something simpler) and secondly, I'm going to add more detailed comments, so you guys can understand the script easier and know what you have to change (should you choose to fiddle with it).
No worries alupinu and thank you for voting. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

Funny, I been for the longest time trying to figure out how to make a permanent ability boosting book and I could never do it. So this is a welcome sight, so thanks Apep. _________________________ Murder in Dunlop Fanglewood

Two quick points:
-I threw up a quick item guide, which should give you a slightly more detailed picture of the pack.
-Turns out some of the old item descriptions were incorrect, so I've replaced the .erf with a slightly updated version, fixing the problem. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link
