- Provides an inventory manager that works with any NWN game (even ones in progress).
- Sorts PC / henchmen inventory by placing items with same base type next to each other.

- Is implemented by adding a console command that will give the player character a feat called "Player Tool 10" to use to sort.
- May cause plot of some modules to break when used, so keep a save before using it for the first time.
