A6 - Decrease skills with editor?

[Crappy Old Sedan]

Having played through a cool piece of Avernum 6, I'm realizing that I want to slightly tweak one of my character builds. It's not a big enough change that I feel like restarting with a whole new party, I just want to move a few points around, which historically hasn't been a problem in previous Avernum games. Yet, with this iteration I find that the editor doesn't allow you to decrease skills, and I don't want to simply add in points I haven't earned. Anyone know a slick way to decrease skills, or even delete a character from an existing party to be replaced with a new one?

There's no way to decrease skills, but you should be able to delete and replace a character in the Edit Party window -- click on the button that looks like four little vaguely upright blobs.

That's good to know. Can you assign traits to a character created midgame? Does the character level intrinsically matter to gameplay mechanics, assuming you use the editor to recreate the appropriate skill selection?

[Dantius]

Yes, level does matter in determining HP, mana, and some other features. However, you could always just manually inflate it with the "iamweak" cheat.

I would just modify the dialogue script for an area with few talk nodes such as Fort Emerald and add options to decrease skill levels.
