First off, I payed for the game, I payed for my computer, I've played through the game several times, I decide how much my time is worth.  In other words, keep your anti cheating lectures to yourself.

I just installed the recent PRC when I saw the Warlock class.  I grabbed the PRC version of Leto, loaded up the PRC character creator.  Loaded it up in Leto to give myself my standard skill bonuses and mile long list of feats and class features.  Got in game.  Leveled up...  

Had PRC unlevel me because I'm not a legal character...

What do I need to edit to fix that?  

P.S.  It's been about 3 years since I played around in the .2da's or did any NWN editing so if someone would be so kind as to step by step anything more complex than using Notepad.

Some prerequisites are scripted because they were not possible to implement in game because of NWNs engine limitations (ie. gender, alignment etc) - you need to check if you meet all requirements before adding a feat to your character in leto or you will be deleveled.

I won't give you a lecture but a friendly warning - PRC was designed with 'legal' characters in mind, and you will find some anti-cheat mechanisms there, so it might be very difficult to create working character in LETO.

^^  Friendly warnings are fine.  ;)  I'm just sick of the normal "don't cheat and you won't have that problem" response   I figured it would take a bit of editing, but it wouldn't be the first time I've spent more time making a game work how I want it than I actually stay interested in playing it.  Most of my PC skills come from trying to get software to do things it doesn't want to do.

The main issue, is that even after adding the feats you want, prc feats are checked like everytime you level up, if you got a feat you don't have requirements for, you'll be stuck. Most save editors are made for the default nwn classes and feats ... imo, there's no way to work around it unless you're really into editing (edit each feat), but good luck !!

Not entirely sure what your goal is, so I'm not sure if this will be helpful. When I try out a new thing with the PRC, the way I usually do it is to level the character to 40 ingame (using debug mode), then edit ability scores to how I want them (making sure I'll meet requirements by a healthy margin) then I save the character and edit it in Leto. This seems to work for the most part, for me. It might work for any epic character if you make sure you meet the requirements of feats, but again, not sure as I haven't tried that.

Though if your aim is to level normally (i.e. through quests/killing things) while having a truckload of feats you don't qualify for, I'm not sure how to help, sorry. You might have to edit your character every few levels or so, or do what the other posters have suggested, and dig into the feat code.

Wish I could help more, but code stuff really is not my forte.

After several hours playing around with it I figured out what feats I could avoid and still be able to level up.  PRC is finicky about what it blocks.  ^^  Then after all that work to get my Warlock/Soulknife to level up equal to the character I was remaking I realized that the combination just didn't work in practice.   (If anyone ever figures out a way to add in Gestalt I'll kiss them.)  To bad PRC is hung up on the 3.5 Soulknife.  It really is the most underpowered class in the game.  Spreading what amounts to two average weapons, and a couple of feats over 20 levels is a waste.  ^^ Now as a 3 level prestige class it would actually be worth while.  I ended up with a Bard that has one level each of Warlock and Spellfire Wielder.  And gave him damn near all feats and class features from the vanilla classes that you don't have to activate from the radial menu.  As long as I avoided the Crafting feats PRC mostly ignores the vanilla feats and class features.
