[v1.53] Emily, a Half-Elf* Archer for BG:EE + SoD

Introduction

Meet Emily, an Archer all the way from Tethyr. Making the journey to meet her birthmother, the closing of the road to Baldur's Gate unfortunately has impeded her journey.

In the meantime however, she is happy to make herself helpful in her party, sporting skills in ranged combat and the ability after her talks have progressed to create arrows for the party, though only a limited amount of special arrows can be crafted. She can also modify certain bows, though only once ever, so choose the ranged weapon you wish her to enhance wisely.

In BG:EE/SoD she can be pursued for a romance with best success by any tall male, while in BG2 there is no gender restriction, the race restrictions still apply (No dwarf, no halfling, no gnome).

Q&A
Q: Is this mod compatible with EET?
A: Yes. (If for some reason it is not, let me know.)

Q: Will you merge this mod with the other four in a single download?
A: Currently this is difficult for BG1, as the first three were heavily traified, and share some file names with the same number scaling. This means a lot of renaming would be required to get the mod to work. Thus I would rather spend time developing content for BG2 than configuring them in one file. It's not an explicit no, but definitely low priority at best. The BG2 parts of these mod however, will be an all in one file with convenience in mind.

Q: When will the BG2 content be released?
A: I'm in planning stages at the moment, and will start writing/coding officially on the 1st. I'll make a thread on that date in the BG2 mod section where you can follow progress. My estimated time of completion is an ambitious March. That'd be the one year anniversary of my first three mods.
