Would this be possible with level 0 NPCs?

If I get a NPC to join at level 0, then save and quit the game, change their class with Shadowkeeper, and level them up afterwards, would the scripts still be working correctly?

I can't offhand see why it wouldn't work, but I haven't tested it. Let me know!

Just tested it a bit. It seems to work, although some extraneous things such as special abilities or memorized spells might need to also be edited out beforehand (else they still remain after changing class). Otherwise, the experience gain after levelling works fine.
