Use "shift + ~ (tilde)" to open console. Make sure you have the patches installed! To alter stats: game.party[0].stat_base_set(stat_*****,#) party# is the number of the character you're altering. The left most one is 0, then 1, 2, 3, up to 7 if you have a full party of 8. **** is the stat you want to change (eg: strength) # is the stat number you want assigned (eg: 18) So, an example of this, for say, your "face" character (left most one) would be: game.party[0].stat_base_set(stat_strength,18) *hit enter* To alter experience is the same. The "stat" changes to "experience" and the # is the XP level you want to set. Ex: game.party[0].stat_base_set(stat_experience,5000) *hit enter* To alter gold: game.party[0].money_adj,##### Be careful, the amount you enter is in COPPERS, so you have to multiply by 100 to get the GP you'd want. Ex: game.party[0].money_adj,4500) would get you 45 GP.
You know, in this thread right below one of your posts (#13), I explained how to point buy with as many points as you want during character creation.
An even easier way to edit your character's stats to what you want is to d/l the TCE editor at Sorcerer's Place. It's a little finicky, but as long as you only edit the stats, it shouldn't cause you any problems.
He's talking about getting getting any stat you want at creation. Imho, TCE is better for tweaking a charecter after creation. Though it does destroy them regularly if you don't save a copy elsewhere.
I tried this, several times but when you switch from roll to point buy the stats go away. I'm gonna try one more time just to see, but I'm almost positive it doesn't work, at least on the fully patched co8 latest version. Rey~
As I said, it's a little finicky. But I've never had it nerf a character just by setting stats. And if you're only using it to set stats, what difference does it make if you edit them with TCE after character creation, or use the console to set them after you start the game? IMO, TCE is easier to use than memorizing the console command to edit them in-game. (Of course, I don't use the console at all, so I'm a little biased.) The only issue with using TCE to set stats is if you adjust the INT so that it affects skill points - then you need to go and adjust the skills to refect it, which TCE also does ok. I guess it just boils down to personal preference - you say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to.
I made him a human with +2 CON, -2 CHA -2 INT,but the point in making him was that I wanted something different, he and my pink haired Barbarian Half-Orc chick are two strange looking fellows, but powerful nonetheless.
You are right, there is no difference between console and TCE. I prefer TCE, too. I said DURING charecter creation. Not after. No console. No hex editor. During stats, before race. Try it, you'll LOVE it. Actually, we say "maters".
Templar- Did you click File --> Save before loading another character or exiting the program? I forget that all the time, and it always annoys the heck out of me when I realize what I did (or didn't do...)
