Hello, I am using PRC 3.5 with HotU 1.69 playing the NWN OC.
I am a Druid/Wizard/Mystic Theurge 3/3/10 but my caster level has not increased since caster level 7 (for Wizard spells-confirmed with an IGMS and after setting my level to 36 and advancing in Wizard levels, I was still stuck at caster level 7 ). Although, I do gain higher level spells and such. Also, spell DCs are weird. My intelligence is 28 (playing a nymph) but my spell DC for Finger of Death is only 17. That doesn't sound right... I tried reinstalling the PRC pack, but that didn't work. Anyone can help please? :(

Could you send me your character file, please? I'll test this. Also you can set PRC_DEBUG switch to 1 in PRC Options menu - debug text should display your caster level and DCs for all spells.

I have done a bit more testing and it appears that exporting/importing the character into another module does fix the caster level. I'm not sure what this implies... Also, I am in NWN OC Module 2 (port llast-which is slightly odd for my level, but I played through Undrentide first), if that makes any difference.
Thank you for your assistance and supporting the PRC after all this time!

Also, could you take a look at my personal_switch 2da file?
I'm trying to make it so Henchmen, Familiars, Summoned creatures, do not leech XP using the XP switches. What am I doing wrong? Thank you so much.

The attached file should fix caster level problems on your character (the problem was caused by racial Dimension Door spell - i've got a report about this bug earlier, but it was never fixed).
The xp switches are almost correct. PRC_XP_SLIDER_x100 is converted to % so with current configuration you get 1% of original xp. Compare your setup with my personal_switch.2da:
2DA V2.0
SwitchName SwitchType SwitchValue
0 PRC_XP_USE_PNP_XP int 1
1 PRC_XP_USE_BIOWARE_XPTABLE int 1
2 PRC_XP_SLIDER_x100 int 100
3 PRC_XP_PC_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 100
4 PRC_XP_DOMINATED_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
5 PRC_XP_HENCHMAN_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
6 PRC_XP_UNKNOWN_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
7 PRC_XP_SUMMONED_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
8 PRC_XP_FAMILIAR_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
9 PRC_XP_ANIMALCOMPANION_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
10 PRC_XP_MUST_BE_IN_AREA int 1
11 PRC_XP_MAX_PHYSICAL_DISTANCE int 100
12 PRC_XP_MAX_LEVEL_DIFF int 5

Excellent! Thank you very much sir. Do I just place the NSS file in my override? Also, with this setup:
2DA V2.0
SwitchName SwitchType SwitchValue
0 PRC_XP_USE_PNP_XP int 1
1 PRC_XP_USE_BIOWARE_XPTABLE int 1
2 PRC_XP_SLIDER_x100 int 100
3 PRC_XP_PC_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 100
4 PRC_XP_DOMINATED_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
5 PRC_XP_HENCHMAN_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
6 PRC_XP_UNKNOWN_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
7 PRC_XP_SUMMONED_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
8 PRC_XP_FAMILIAR_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
9 PRC_XP_ANIMALCOMPANION_PARTY_COUNT_x100 int 0
10 PRC_BIOWARE_HEAL int 1
11 PRC_BIOWARE_HARM int 1
12 PRC_EPIC_IGNORE_DEFAULTS int 1
13 PRC_BIOWARE_DIVINE_POWER int 1
14 PRC_USE_LETOSCRIPT int 1
15 PRC_LETOSCRIPT_FIX_ABILITIES int 1
16 PRC_SLEEP_NO_HD_CAP int 1
17 PRC_MULTISUMMON int 1
18 PRC_PNP_RACIAL_SPEED int 1
It works by not leeching XP, however some creatures in the OC are not giving any XP at all which is slightly odd. It doesn't matter whether I have minions/henchman or not:
Peninsula District: gang leaders, sorcerers, beetles, head goalar, intellect devourer
Edit: Installing the PRC OC fixes this problem, but now it appears to have broken the XP switches and my minions are now leeching XP again. :( ?
Edit2: Or perhaps I'm wrong. From searching I have learned a bit about the xp process. Could it be that I spawn stronger monsters when I enter the area, but as my army dies, the exp given to me because of the increased difficulty changes?
Does this PRC have a place where one can donate? I feel compelled to give something for the privilege to enjoy such work.

You have to use nwhak.exe and put the ncs file in prc_race.hak (overwrite existing file).
I know about xp issues with some creatures. Sometimes the xp script doesn't execute even with oc_fix installed. If you feel that you don't get enough xp you can always alter PRC_XP_SLIDER_x100 switch ;)

Ah, I see.
So far with this setup I've had virtually no problems. My speculations after searching some other threads:
-Summoning a ton of alies causes the OC modules to spawn much more difficult encounters relative to your actual level, leading to the slightly increased XP. After limiting myself to 1 summon and 1 henchmen there is not much change in XP progression than soloing (which I did prior to using these godly XP switches).
-The number of monsters that have custom death scripts appears to decrease as the campaign progresses. I had much less 0 xp problems in ch.2 than in ch.1 for example.
-No leaching experienced (yay!)
In conclusion, PRC is best
