Character Creation Scripting
Dragon Age characters are 'blank' when the game starts, with all their Creature Properties initialized to default values.
The character generation scripts, through interaction through the Character Creation UIs, use the data in CLA_base.xls to construct the character based on the player's choices and are also responsible for any modification to the character's base stats during the Levelup process.
