where does one modify the monster abilities (listed under the "monster ability" tab) in order to make them more similar to the PnP?

Find their scripts in the spells.2da. The NWN Wiki (http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) is also a good place to find out.

ah those abilities (like Bodak's death gaze or cockatrice's petrify touch) are considered as spells?
apparently, an example is that it should work already

but when opening it in the toolset, it says that those 2
#include "prc_alterations"
#include "prc_inc_breath"
are not found. is that normal?

By default prc_include.hak is not added to mod during installation. It's only needed to compile prc scripts, and we don't recommend doing that in Toolset (use prc script compiler or advanced script compiler).

so breath weapon is still vanilla.. right?

It's chocolate ;p

it works with recharge time already?

so it already implements a recharge time, even for dragons?

I doubt it. The "recharge time" you are talking about would be part of the creatures AI, not the breath weapon itself.

Actually the code for dragon breath weapons does contain recharge counter, but I imagine this will only work if the dragon has unlimited uses of breath weapon. I haven't noticed any AI conflicts, but I haven't really payed any attention for this aspect of the game.

how could I set unlimited breath weapon?

Appearently it's not possible - I'm starting to think that there's a bug in PRC code. Reacharged breath works for shifters with unlimited breath uses, but it probably breaks 'regular' dragons. I'll have to check that in game.

thank you kind sir :D
