Save game character editor for NWN2. It supports both player characters and companions. You can edit abilities, skills, feats, spells, inventory and companion influence. Requires Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or later.
This version of the editor supports custom game content and should work with or without the Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir expansions.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Installation was complicated because I use a custom installation folder for NWN2. This could be solves better. Besides this, the editor is great. It is by far the easiest way to change the main character in a savegame, for example.

Do not use this for version 1.23 or else feats get messed up (from OC save at least). My daughter wanted to repick her Rogue's feats and so we downgraded her back to level 1 but when we started up the save, the feats were still the same as before. We tried to level up and the feat listed in the level screen were correct, but after the level up, it sort of adds those new number to the existing ones.... not even adding up in a way that makes sense either. Oh well.
Can anyone tell me how to start using the tool? I've tried everything, but i just don't know what to do and the readme file just didn't help me.

this editor does not support custom game content and crashes on loading any character with the TOB Bo9S classes
I'm not sure about other PRCs but not likely.

Fantastic tool. Much easier to figure out & use than any other system I've ever happened across (I remember Leto for NWN-1) and more stable. Only thing lacking is clarity in the help file for setting it up. I ended up with the following in the shortcut target file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -DNWN2.install.path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2" -DNWN2.data.path="C:\Users\Greg\Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2" -jar NWN2Editor.jar
Editing the above for the ACTUAL file path locations for game install and saves should work for anyone, I just copied mine verbatim as an example.
Additionally, I couldn't get it to work without placing a copy of NWN2 Editor.jar in the same directory as javaw.exe (C:\Windows\system32 in the case of my setup).

I would love if you could use double-clicking to add feats and spells or highlight and select multiple feats and spells.

This tool is epic. So strait-forward, effective, and easy to use.
help: I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and I can't run the editor: I unzipped the file, but I don't understand what to do next, like where do I change the "target" and where is the NWN2editor.lnk?
thx

Nevermind, I have a conflict somewhere. It worked after I cleaned my override folder out

Awesome work but I was wondering if it is supposed to work with Kaedrin's PrC pack. I can edit just fine until I add a new prestige class ron Kaedrin's, then I get a dbexception: Character class ### is not defined (using 4.2 version)
help, this may have screwed up my game, at the character screen the skills are all wrong for all my characters and some are in the negative.
all i did was remove my characters level back to one and re-allocate his starting skill points to other things. It worked fine at the level-ups, but like i said everything looks screwy on the character screen. Hopefully its only visual, did anyone else have this problem?

Has anyone had issues running this with the Steam version of NWN 2? Mine is looking for 2DA.zip and cannot locate it. Can't find the file anywhere on my system.
I notice I was using the wrong .exe from Java. now that I chose javaw.exe as default for opening .jar files I get this error: "could not find the main class C:\Users\Dexel\Desktop\NWN2Editor\NWN2Editor.jar. program will ext."
Cannot install the editor. I'm trying to open the .jar file with Java Web Start Launcher (from java 6). I didn't have java when after downloaded and Nokia's Ovi was set as default, maybe I'm using the wrong part of Java... Opening with Web Start Launcher it just says "aplicattion cannot be started" in details it says "the next field required for file execution is missing ". or that's what translating it from spanish should say. Im running on Win 7 ultimate 64bit
Wonderful in most ways. I have two recommendations.
1) Druid feats Plant Wild Shape and Natural Spell aren't available and if you have them you cannot open the character file to edit it.
2) The item list is not comprehensive.
Other than that, well done and does everything I need it to do with minimal attention. I'll reserve voting for if and when the error is fixed, the item list is just frills.
I can`t seem to be able to change my wizard`s specialization no matter what i do, tried every console command possible, now this editor...
I`m losing hope... maybe i just missed something with the editor so i thought to ask if anyone had this problem before and how they fixed it...
I started out using one of the game`s default packages, but now i want my generalist wizard to become a necromancer. I`m only lvl9 for now, but i`d hate to start all over for this, and if i`ll have to, i`ll just roll a rogue/assassin build or a pure warlock.

Awesome, awesome mod work. I can't imagine playing this game without it, because sometimes you just make silly mistakes that you need to correct much later on. 10.
Also, Squall_25, you're a damn genius. Thanks for figuring that out for me. It was taking me awhile to figure out how to change the installation path since I relocated my files to a larger hard drive. Much obliged and appreciate the information! (:
modify nwn 2 editor for win 7 users
i used this path
1)find javaw.exe in programfiles(x86)/java and copy to windows/system32
2) change short cut of nwn editor to C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -DNWN2.install.path="where nwn 2 installed" -jar NWN2Editor.jar
exmp; C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -DNWN2.install.path="D:\Program Files\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2" -jar NWN2Editor.jar
this can work on vista ,too.
i just found this way yet so im sorry if it doesnt work for you , gl hf
The spells tab thing isn't a bug. In NWN2, Clerics and Druids draw from a global spell list. They don't learn any spells, they just choose the ones they want to use.
And for the people complaining about MoW save games; iirc, MoW uses a different method of saving, plus the fact that the creator probably isn't supporting this anymore.
Very disappointed this doesn't work with MoW saved games
