As with CEP 2.2, and the CEP's Updater, we are never finished with updating CEP. At this point, we feel 2.3 is stable and working well enough to place it as a first edition on the Vault.
Be warned, more is to be added and such will be updated on the Vault eventually but using your updater will keep you current faster and easier.
Many innovations of great importance to NWN -- DMTS with includes the Sparky Spawner that can spawn from the Monster Containment System (MCS).
The implications of the MCS and the ability to spawn from it will start to hit the NWN community - the importance of this is incalculable. If you run a PW server concerned over the DM palette limit bug -- or you are worried about future creature blueprints sending you over the limit -- here is the future -- you CAN have them all -- and custom creatures to your hearts content.
This is NOT a comprehensive list of 2.3 content, this is a list in general of some of the new features to look for:
