Indeed. I downloaded DK right away. I wasn't about to a) spend hours clicking reroll, or b) take some character with a 3 CH and a 5 WIS. Dakekeeper is a sweet little program.

As far as scripts go, my research has lead me to believe that they included the compiler in BG but that it was defective. It required additional DLL files. Eventually TeamBG released a functional version but it's for BG. I believe Interplay (or whoever) decided not to include the buggy program and just never bothered to tell anyone.

I've tried the ScriptCompiler and, either I don't know what I'm doing (most likely) or, it doesn't work for IWD. I also downloaded something called a "Scriptor" from them. I believe I need to use ScriptCompiler to decompile a script and then use Scriptor to edit it and then back to Compiler to compile it. Unfortunately, the scripts are like BASIC IF/THEN commands, and I really don't feel like dealing with *that* right now. The game is fun enough without the hassle.

Cheers,
-Bjorn
