How does one mod the starting attributes and skill points for adventurers?
« on: December 23, 2011, 10:27:08 pm »
The title says it all.

I wish to create a great hero who can take everything on at once and leave with his body and nine fingers.
Or. Perhaps my true intention is to learn? Who knows.

You know. Right?

One does not simply mod the starting attributes of adventurers.
As in you can't. You could make a super tough race or caste for a species. But with the caste option, it would be up to chance, and with the race option, there would be many other tough people like you. I suppose you could try making a race that can't reproduce and play as an outsider of their (probably) dead species.

It's all hard coded into the game, there's no raw files for us to meddle with

You could just create a regular character, and then Runesmith all your attributes to 9999 or something like that.

Between you and me, I use RuneSmith. When I am genning a character, I make me a demigod so I have enough points, and become at least novice in every skill/attribute. Then as soon as I spawn, I use Runesmith by highlighting my character in the screen, and set all my skills/attributes the high as they go. Highest for skills are 20, Highest for attributes are 65655.

I use Runesmith.  If you just add one point to each of the skills you want, once you start the game you can use Runesmith to max all of those out.  This way I have more skills right away and I can max them all out rather than spending a lot of points on a few skills which is pointless with Runesmith.

I'm pretty sure someone's coded a way to restore lost body parts in Dfusion.
