Could you technically raise your stats almost infinitely in Baldur's Gate by constant exporting/importing? In the MP section you can choose how much a person can import. So, what if you only allowed stats, without the experince? Would you just be a really awesome 1st level cahracter, or a completely new one? If this works, then you could actually get a truly low THAC0!

If you by stats mean your STR, DEX, CON etc. then it has nothing to do with your XP. And yes if you beat the game again and again and read all the tomes, you can raise your STR, DEX, CON etc. not to infinite values, but to the 'high' number of 25.

If you by stats mean HP, level, thief abilities, it has everything to do with the XP. Setting the XP to zero should set the character level to 0 and the HP and thief skills to the initial values at level 0.

Sorry, but I do not think you have found a loop hole, but it is free to test it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Insane

Nothing stopping you from getting all the tomes that increase your ability scores, THEN exporting/importing said character and doing it AGAIN, etc. etc. ad nauseaum. If you have the patience for it, you could eventually have 25s across the board.

it'd be ALOT quicker to just use gatekeeper

No, I'm just going for a low THAC0. I don't want to CLUAConsole, or anything, I want to earn my abilities. ;)

Well said. I'm a big fan of doing things the hard way, as well. It's a lot more fun, and it greatly increased my creativity with profane and vulgar words and concepts.

personally i think an Exp cap remover is the least cheating thing mentioned in this post, and its the one thing you're all trying to avoid. exp cap remover just removes the limits of what you can achieve, all the rest are just cheese

Well, if you want to really feel like you earn it, I should mention that being able to use any tome more than once is a bug. You're supposed to only be able to use each tome once in a character's life.

I never said I have done it, or that I intend to do it. I just rattled off the idea. I've never used any mods in any of my games.

tomes arent mods, they're included in the original standard game. speaking of which, I just found my 3rd wisdom tome, so now my dwarven cleric has wisdon 21
