📋 About This Mod
Description
This is an edited config.xml file for 0Nivium0's update to Pawn Manager (which was originally created by Meem0). This circumvents the bug that your pawn's stats end up at max or zero - completely breaking them. This is done by only allowing you to edit appearance.
Since I used a slightly newer config.xml from the original author's GitHub repository, you can now also edit personality (personality, not inclination!). Personality is how your pawns respond to commands, for example "ordinary", "meek", "arrogant".
Installation
This is just the changed config.xml file. You need Pawn Manager 0. 1. 3 by 0Nivium0. After you have it, just copy the config.xml file inside the zip into the folder that contains Pawn Manager and override the old file.
After that, use Pawn Manager as normal - but don't forget to make a backup of your save file just in case.
Recommendation
If you want to edit your pawn's stats, skills and inclinations use dinput8.dll hooks.

A small XML fix for Pawn Manager 0.1.3 that prevents a bug from breaking pawns by restricting edits to appearance only, with the bonus of enabling personality edits. For Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen players using Pawn Manager who want a safer modding experience.
