Getting started

The Divinity Engine uses XML style file presets in order to load in the available classes during character creation. This data driven approach allows us to define custom presets in character creation in the blink of an eye. The first thing you need to know when creating your first character creation class is the location of the preset files. You can find those located inside : YourMod/CharacterCreation/ClassPresets (If the directory doesn't exist, you can just create it yourself).

Once you find or create the directory inside of your mod, you can just place the provided template file - - inside of it. If you load up character creation now and cycle through the presets, you should be able to see something like the following:

Now that we've loaded our class preset let's take a look at the most important properties

This field is just used for displaying text in the character creation in order to let the player know the background of the class.
