You can create a character with any stat setup, obviously a boon in a DnD game. To get 18 in all six abilities score simply do the following.
Create a character, at the initial ''Roll'' you will see six empty boxes vertically on the left and six empty boxes vertically on the right. Don't click the roll stats button, instead click on the tab in the bottom right corner labeled 'Advanced' to switch to the point allocation stat selection process.
On this screen the six empty boxes on the right have been hidden, but they are still there. The six boxes on the left have been filled with the number 8. Using the 25 points you are allowed to raise a stat, raise one of those 8's to 18. Drag and drop the 18 straight across to the right where the six empty boxes on the right would be. If done correctly the stat should disappear and leave the six boxes on the left holding five 8's and one of the boxes will be empty.
Now, if you click again on the tab in the bottom right corner this time labeled 'Basic', you will return to the initial six empty boxes on the left. Instead of the six on the right being empty, the 18 you made on the previous screen is displayed in one of the boxes while the other five are still empty. Again click on the 'Advanced' tab, raise another stat to 18 with the new 25 points you are given, drag and drop it straight across into a different spot on the right.
Click on the 'Basic' tab again and now you have four of the boxes on the right still empty but two are holding those hard to roll 18s. Click the 'Advanced' tab yet again and repeat.
Using this glitch you can give your characters any stats you wish to, which makes bringing an old favorite character from previous games easy as can be without the frustrating clicking required to 'roll' a character and match up stats. Well at least you can match the stats of your old characters... Let's not mention the portraits.
Looking for some great items that you know NPCs are carrying? Want to loot them without all the messy complications caused by murder? Look no further!
1. Quicksave via F12 2. Kill anyone in the game 3. Open the loot inventory screen for their dead body 4. Quickload via F9 4a. You'll notice that the inventory panel is still open with the loot from the dead body...who is now alive and non-hostile. 5. Select a character portrait. 6. Take everything. 7. Lather, rinse, repeat
When you use the craft magic arms and armor feat, the many suits of elven chain and all magic shields will have +1, +2, and +3 greyed out, making it impossible to select them and move them over to the other collumn. Click on the item you want to improve and instead of cancelling, select create instead. The item will be given a +3 rating for free, making all elven chain +8 to armor/+4 max dex, all large shields +5 to armor, and all small shields and bucklers +4 to armor. You can also craft +3 shields from masterwork shields cheaper by making them +1 first, and then exploiting this cheat to get them to +3 for free.
Have at least one NPC (I did it with the Thief) that Loots dead bodies. When the NPC loots some Gems, go into the inventory screen, transfer all but one of the gems to one of your characters. When you are at a store (best prices at the Money lender) sell the gems. You will get the Sell box, sell all, you will then get a message stating the NPC will not drop the item. When you click OK the items go back into your inventory and you walk away with the money. Repeat as often as you like... (any of the same gems added to your inventory will increase the amount you earn.)
This cheat allows you to dual-weild and use a shield and get the benefits of both.
First, equip any two weapons you want your character to use. Then, equip a buckler onto his or her off-hand. Next, slide any other shield into the buckler's slot. Your character should now be equipped with both weapons and the new shield. Even better, the game gives both hands the attack bonus of the main hand (for example, +7/+7 instead of +7/+6)!
