Welcome to Version 1.0 for PC's and compatibles
The Bard's Tale II Character Editor
Copyright 1987,1988,1989
Well, here it is. The easiest method for CHEATING at Bards Tale.
Use it at your own risk.
Now to more productive notes.
When you first start the program, you must select [F]ile option.
If this is the first time you have used the program, you must [O]pen a
New Character file. This operation will create a file WhoAmI.dta that
is used by Bard Ed to determine who the characters are. Anytime you
add or delete a character using the Bard's Tale program, you must
create a new WhoAmI.dta file.
Once this is completed, you can select a character from list of
characters names in the window. Use the up and down arrows to move the
selection bar. Press ENTER to select the character you want to edit.
When your character is loaded, the current data for your character
will be displayed on the screen. Use the arrow keys to select a menu
and press enter. Use the up and down arrow to select which field you
want to change. Once in the edit mode, use the up and down arrows to
lower or raise the value for that field. Use PgUp and PgDn to move
the value up or down faster. Home will give you the lowest possible
for the selected field and End will give you the highest possible for
the field.
When you are finished editing your character, select the SAVE
function from the FILE menu. This will save your character to disk.

MAX ALL STATS - Here it is, the quick and easy way to make Superman
for your party.
Now, there may be a problem in translation here - when I say maximum, I
actually mean the maximum the game (Bards Tale) will display without showing
asterisks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAVEATS:
If you equip an item on a character that can't normally use that
item, once you have started the game the only way to unequip it is to
sell it, trade it or drop it. You will not even be given the Unequip
option.
Your modified character will NOT be saved unless you specifically
do so. I consider this a safety feature rather than any real bother.
WARNINGS:
If you uses change a characters level through Barded you will not
be given the multiply attack rounds. The best way to do this is to
give your character Experience point and let the review board raise
them levels.
