If you are heading down/up to GenCon this year be sure to come by the Microsoft Xbox booth and identify yourself to myself and Theresa as we will be showing off Jade Empire and would love to meet you. ...unless your all freaky and collect insect legs or something then you can probably give us a miss. http://forums.bioware.com/_global/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

<hr /><hr />I believe Georg has also stated that the biggest blockage to moving past the 3 class restriction is in the graphics<hr />
If I understand correctly, the only reason NWN PCs can't have more than 3 classes is because they won't fit in the window where they are displayed!? Why not use an scroll box? or better yet, why not make a contest and the winner gets a free copy of NWN platinum for doing the graphic design work required?<hr />The gui requirements for adding a new class are complex, but by far not the only thing standing in the way. NWN will never have more than 3 classes per character. I think that three classes are enough anyway, add one or two more, and you could just as easily get rid of the class system alltogether.

I somewhat agree with robert here, I found the IRC seminars a damn good way to get together and share information on building /scripting /dm -ing etc.
Touch Attacks and BETA 1.64 (http://nwn.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=375370&post=3090730&forum=77&highlight=)
Touch attacks are handled through the game code, not scripts.
