Is it a bug that you can't add money to NPC/Monsters? I'm putting my monsters in and would like to put their treasure on them but can't add money.

Not 100% sure. I will add it to the list to take a look at...

There is no journal for NPCs, so you can't add money OR experience points. I'd like to be able to add xp when I'm tracking some of my NPCs (such as cohorts), but I've settled with making everything a PC and it all works out.

Since NPC's have no journal, you can try using the "Custom Gear" option.

So I looked into this a little and yea not a bug. Its designed to hide the Journal tab for NPCs.

So what you guys can do is make an adjustment that runs the following script:
First/10000

~ If not activated get out now!
doneif (field[pIsOn].value <> 1)

~ Show the Journal tab so we can add XP and GP
perform hero.delete[Hero.NoAdvance]

In the words of my daughter: "Alright...if you really want me to." Sorry, you'll have to imagine the deep sigh and exasperated tone.

Thanks! Trying to see things from LW point of view and I think that it would be a better fit in the community then in CORE.

No problem. I was just wanted to share an anecdote about my 3.5 year old. Kid cracks me up.

Shadow, where would we add this "adjustment"?

Like mentioned above, I resorted to making all PCs since the NPC lacks the ability for a log, journal or the ability to progress them.

Looks like Sendric will be adding it to the community set in the future FYI.

Until then. Start the editor and make a new .user file or open an existing one. Go to "General->Adjustments". Click "New Blank" and give it a name like "Show Journal". Give it a Unique ID like "pShowJrnl". Then click on "Eval Scripts" and add a new one at timing of First 10000. Then copy and paste the above script into the text window.

Save and do "Test Now!". Now you have a new adjustment you can add to your character that causes the "Journal" tab to display even for NPCs.
