For the idea of transfering characters between different mods, if desired, it seems it wouldn't be hard to just transfer the character sans equipment, just the abilities and exp. For the moment, the individual peoples weapon databases may differ wildly (for example, I still would like to start a side project of Oriental Adventures). But what would keep you from doing a mini-database that goes with the character (just an idea, not that you need more work to do...

) that would be like this: I travel with only my sword and armor to someones elses land and the items I had in vault and money and such are not available.
Just for the record, I am going to do a design in the style of Ravenloft, and it is going to be more towards the puzzle and events than combat-intensive. You are going to be a heroine trapped in a castle and trying not to get killed by the evil monster-lord. [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] and more about that later...
