---------------------------Legacy Cheat File------------------------------
After dying too many times and waiting way too long for the endless disk access when loading games I decided to take a peek at mysaved games. Initially I had a hard time finding my attributes because theyaren't defined in numbers within the game, but I began to look around in thedirectories that the install program created.
In a the sub-dir TEXT, thereis another directory called CHARGEN, it contains the initial information usedwhen creating the characters at the start of the game in an ASCII text file called CHARDATA. It seems to be of this general configuration:=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=STARTMr. Charles WeissIt was announced yesterday that an heir to the Winthrop estate has been found. Mr. Charles Weiss of Bangor, Maine, who... (blah, blah, blah)STATS2 3 2 2 51 1 1 10 0 3 01 1 0 02 5 8 2-1 -1STARTLucy Weston(etc....)=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
All I'm concerned with at the moment are the lines below STATS. The first line is your major characteristics, in the order of DEXTERITY, KNOWLEDGE, STAMINA, STRENGTH, and WILLPOWER. So in this example, DEX = 2;KNOW = 3;STA = 2;STR = 2;WILL = 5. It's good to set those to at least 200, that will give you a large amount of magic as well as health.
The next three lines are the individual attributes that are underthe DEXTERITY, KNOWLEDGE, AND STRENGTH headings. (such as ELECTRONICS,FIREARMS, MEDICINE, etc.) Generally if you set these to something above 10(15 works quite nice) you won't ever fail at the things that you try.
The next two lines represent the spells that you start with. Theyare represented in the form of:(SPELL) (AMT. MAGIC USED)I think those are pretty much self explanitory. One thing though, you canonly have two spells at the start, so make it good ones (Wind of Destructionor Shards of Annihilation are good attack spells), and make sure to use Elixir of Health) I've included the list of spells in the game along with this file.
If you don't want any spells... use -1 -1, -1 -1, -1 -1 throughthe three lines You don't really need a powerful attack spell in the game after you hike your stats up, I was pretty much able to kill about anythingwith one hit from my briefcase, although Sword of the Shadow kills alotquicker for the nastier monsters.

If you're already in the middle of a game and don't want to startover then get out your hex editor (Norton's DE, PCTOOLS, or the like) forthis next part. A list of the hex offsets for the character's attributesfollows:
DEXTERITY - 5,282
KNOWLEDGE - 5,284
STAMINA - 5,286
STRENGTH - 5,288
WILLPOWER - 5,290
all breakdowns of those attributes are in even numbered hex locations
5,294 - 5,316When your character gets low on health or magic(and he/she will!) thehex addresses for your health are here
MAXIMUM
PRESENT
Health 5,262 - 5,263 5,264 - 5,265
Magic 5,266 - 5,267 5,268 - 5,269
Well that's all I've really found out so far... I know the locations of thespells in HEX... but so far I haven't been able to figure out how they areadded to your spellbook.
