I see many feats are duplicates. it's not possible to click over them, however, and read the description, and since the levelup wizard is completely broken, what can I do for a quicker and more exact feat choice?

Trial & error is how I go about it.  If you are feeling really adventurous you could modify the TLK file so you know which feat is for which class/race.

I was going to ask PrC developers to add a suffix, so we can identify them

now is like: smite evil-smite evil-smite evil....

could you do it like : Smite evil (Paladin/Pal) - Smite evil (Cleric/Clr) - Smite Evil (templar/Tmpl) ?
a request for the next release. trial and error is too time consuming.


EDIT: nevermind that, there is a small ? I had never noticed. that does it.

a real request for the next update: can you add a passive monster feats that augments psionics by default for them? in order to make stronger monsters.

I like this idea.  An alternative could be to count HD in creature classes as manifester levels.

since the AI is not smart enough to actually augment them, maybe an "override feat":
monster feat: augmented psionics
the monster with this feat has its psionic spells augmented accodingly to its HD.
after that it would only be a matter of understanding where those psionics are meant to be selected for the monster to use them.

<= never actually played psionic character

I think setting a local var on a creature would be a better idea... but since we already have that in PRC...

Hmm...

I really have no experience with psionic NPCs. I think it's do-able but it would require some play-testing.

The default NWN AI will already use psionic abilities, but it does so rather stupidly & nothing is augmented or adjusted for manifester level. 

Unfortunately, TonyK's AI won't fire psionics at all.

that's why I thought a passive abilty could solve, at least partially, the psionic stupidity :P
