Firstly, damn your eyes for releasing the PRC and dooming my social life to tatters whilst I lose myself in the game again...

Secondly, I appear to have an issue with using a Warlock character. I can create it fine, then when I choose a new module with the premade character it imports, then comes up with the standard dialogue box to choose my first invocation. When that's chosen, I can choose "Finish" and be done with it. Except then the dialogue box pops up again, the last page of the box (with "End Dialogue" as the only option).  No matter how many times I either select the end option or press escape, it just pops back up immediately. I can "override" it by initiating a conversation with someone else and when that ends the invocation box doesn't appear again, but whether my inventory loadout changes (picking up items or just swapping the equipped ones) it appears again.

At first I thought it was something to do with the fact I was using the original campaigns (and first time round had an old CEP merge, which mislabelled all the abilities for several classes), but even though that's been fixed by following the advice of another thread, I still have this issue on every Warlock I make, whether a Bioware module or not. I've tried several modules but the same thing happens.

When I made my first Psion I didn't configure the packages and therefore didn't give a first level domain, which caused the Psion to not be able to level. Is there something obvious I'm missing in the character creation of a Warlock?

You can test & make PRC characters on my testing server if you'd like.

Which PRC version do you use? The latest is 3.3h. If that's the one you use, there might be a problem with your database files. In that case I would advise reinstalling PRC (just to make it clear - download PRC again and, depending on which file you downloaded, run the exe or extract rar to correct directories, that's all)

Sorry about the delay, been away for a bit.

On a whim I decided to try again, checked the CC settings and noted that it had CEP files being used - I took them away and suddenly it works. I don't know if this will impair my usage of the character in CEP enabled modules, but for now the OC is working fine. Maybe you could identify if this is going to be an issue?

There are a couple of weirdnesses when playing as the Warlock, but I'll post them on the Bugs forum. Thanks for the assistance.

Removing the CEP files from the list would not be an issue as they are not used in character creation.

The only difference it appeared to make when creating the character was reduced character portraits - I originally removed the CEP files from the CC because I used portraits that it turned out weren't being displayed in the non-CEP OC. As I was annoyed with getting defaulted to a shady bald portrait I took out the files, and suddenly it worked.
