Heres news from the Neverwinter Nights Vault.

Heres information on Character Classes:

Our approach to developing Neverwinter was partially dictated by our approach to the D&D rules and bandwidth reduction. We chose to "Hard Code" as much of the rules as possible to radically cut down on the network traffic for the game and to ensure no matter where you play you are playing with the D&D rules familiar to you. NWN players should be able to check our manual or pick up the D&D Player's Handbook and both should be valid reference to the game. User created character classes would also add a huge level of complexity to the Character Vault and portal system, as each time you connect the abilities of your class must be fed to the system you connect to.

Information on description of Characters and Iteams:

We are allowing you as a play to attach any text decription you wish to your character. We are also supporting the ability in the "Solstice" Editor to add a description to any object you desire. You can describe NPCs, a sectione of rope, etc.. anyone who inspects the item/NPC will get the text description.
