Since this is GD...

Don't know about the XP-problems, but IrfanView, http://www.irfanview.com, is a good, free program to view TGAs and a lot of other things. You can also convert between formats. :)

This is know to happen, had the same thing happen to me once. just ask a dm nicely.

This happens because you had more then 2 levels worth of xp banked, keep in mind that you also won't gain any more xp from kills as long as you didn't take these levels. scripted and dm xp you will still gain.

That link from the rules forum has more info on what ShadowViper was talking about, and it has been coded in IIRC. You didn't give any specifics to your situation, so I don't know if it applies, but the DMs are great at sorting that stuff out.

I was in the process of making my alt a weapon master using the quest in mikona, i haven't played him in a few years and log on and got a ton of XP and i was finishing up the Weapon master quest to level him up. upon making a few items for the quest using the forge auto load the character lost all the xp but 2 levels. the total xp lost was 125354.

hope this could be sorted out. will be unfortunate if it could not be.

I know this is a busy weekend for plot stuff, so if you haven't been contacted already, I'd suggest pming the "Staff" group, as described here: How to Contact the Team.

NWN General Discussion will get you plenty of "best-guess" advice from non-teamies (myself included), but that will get you talking to the people who can do something about it.
