    Wow. If 30 isn't good enought, I think you need to try a different game.

    Try pong, or maybe just pushing a ball around.

    well i'm used to having average ability scores above 14. only being able to have three 12s and three 14s is not what i call a PC. for example my rogue i have now in NWN has:
    Str 10
    Dex 17
    Con 10
    Int 14
    Wis 14
    Cha 12

    I'd be happier with:
    Str 12 minimum
    Dex 20
    Con 14
    Int 16 minimum
    Wis 14 minimum
    Cha 14 minimum

    i'd like a program like Shadowkeeper or Dalekeeper2 where i can change ability scores, feats, skills, etc. i can't seem to find one.

    I believe you can through the console, though the exact command escapes me at the moment. I do not believe there is a character editing program for NWN, basically because anything that one would want to do can be done either through the console or the dm tools.

    Btw, the stats that NWN gives you are more than balanced enough. There is now advantage to have a 17 dex, go with either 16 or a full 18. If you take that down by one, then you will have four more points to distribute. I would recommend them in Con. Also no need for you to have the Int and Wis that high, niether offer much of an advantage to the rogue class, unless you plan on multilcassing to a class that needs those stats.

    Do you not have to go into debug mode first or anything? Or is it really that easy? If so, that is pretty suprising.

    Press `

    Then type DebugMode 1

    Then whatever console commands you wish.

    Then to turn Debug off, type DebugMode 0

    I have no idea why but more often than not that button under escape and left of "1" doesnt do anything for me.
    So you can also put "##" before anything you write and it'll have the same effect as if you've written it in the console.

    EDIT: heh, it has to be different keyboard settings, thats why it doesnt work.

    Stats over 30 tend to cause problems in the game, so if you have any sense, max out at 30. The character creator stops there for a reason.
