1. Random Hitpoints for Creatures

2. What it does: Rolls up Random hitpoint totals for your creatures, then applies them.

3. Notes: This should be used OnEnter the area/module (it can be adapted to other places). There are of course some issues with this script -- Since Bioware did not include anyway to actually Set the Max hitpoints for a creature (doh!), I had to use Damage effects for creatures that have less than default hitpoints (so they can 'heal' above their new 'Max' unfortunately), and temporary hitpoints (applied permanently though) for #s above default. If someone knows a better way, please fix this up and repost.
I just commented out a few debug lines, feel free to uncomment the PrintString lines to see a little more of what is happening (in the log file).

I also ignored PCs entering, and "Playable" races, because these are the most likely to be NPCs (though a better way might be to check for any 'classes' instead)

Also while doing this, I noticed that the DM Client doesn't show current hitpoints above Max, so even though the Chooser might say 4/4 Hps for an Orc, that Orc might actually have 5 or 8 hitpoints.
