Console XP removal: I believe that you should be able to pass in a negative number into the console command to remove XP (although I'm not able to test it at the moment to be 100% sure).

Saving skillpoints: Saving skillpoints would create lots of GUI grief, add another layer of complexity to the character creation (see how many posts about "why can't I take Prestige Class X" we got here already) and thus would have made the game less accessible to the casual player. I wasn't there when the decision was made in the first place, but I completely agree with it - adding the additional code, GUI and feedback to skill point fragments, etc is not worth it - if players don't want to do it, they are free not to do it, if they want to do it and their DM doesn't want it, he can communicate that to them. As for PWs that don't have DMs to check characters and don't want to rely on scripts, well, NWN wasn't designed with those in mind.

Action queue: Actions work through the action queue, and don't run on dead or busy objects.
