Ok I thought this out some more, and it's doable with the current schema IF you do the following. You create a flag field in NPC_TYPES called "CUSTOM" and whenever you make a custom change in the table, the flag becomes = TRUE, you can export that NPC and all dependant tables with either a perl script or .net code. It's pretty clear to me how it should work, and I'm pretty sure it will. IF you want something like this, I can code a backup and restore script.
When you load a new PEQ db from scratch, you can restore by running the script you made earlier, restoring your custom npc's. This can even be applied to items as well.
