Thank you so much for the quick reply and thank you for the idea of a possible workaround!
Another thing I've just realized and am not sure if it's a bug or if I've just done something wrong:
At the start of the game I want to have a kind of character creation. After choosing a class and setting the new class in the event, the actor's class doesn't change for the purposes of the plug-in whereas it does change in the rest of the menus. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
