Everyone knows about CTRL+Q/J/R etc... but do you know about these?

CTRL + 6/7
This is funny and 'useful' at the same time. It changes the selected characters model on the main gaming screen, but keeps the stats the same. This is so funny; no one expects a chicken to have monk like abilities

.
Also, I guess you could create a party of dragons, then change them to all rabbits or something - try roleplaying that!

There were also some that weren't used in the game (or I haven't seen them). There were at least 9 colors of dragon - purple, multicolor, brown, blue, aqua, green, silver, black and red. I'm sure all these weren't in the game.

Also there were things I've never heard of like; Hula Wizard (these look cool, I can't believe they aren't in the game), Lich blach (ditto) and Shamlbling Mound (looked very like a greater earth elemental, but a different color). I'm not sure why these are in the game, any ideas?

CTRL + 4 Highlights doors and other moveable objects in a blue box

CTRL + 9 Show all animated bits on the screen

CTRL + T Shifts time on

CTRL + S This is another funny one. I lets you choose an action for a specific character like dying or attacking. Then you press CTRL + A and the animation is performed. You don't die or attack, it just shows what happens. Can be quite funny for certain things.

I couldn't work out exactly what these ones do;

CTRL + CSeems to show day to night and night to day films. I'm not sure what the actual effect is.

CTRL + LShakes the screen, as in critical hit or earthquake. No other effect though.

CTRL + 1Says something about armor level, it increases it from 1 to 4.

CTRL + 3Blacks screen out, then everything comes back as it was.

CTRL + DI think this might show the framerate, but there a 3 numbers, which don't really seem related.

CTRL + BSeems to alter speed. Not sure of what though.

CTRL + NMakes screen go red, then returns to normal.

CTRL + MOpens up the command line box, but when you type something in, only information about the area is dislayed, eg likleyhood of rain.

Ok, these aren't all exactly useful, and are just in there for when the game was tested, but there is something funny about watching a dracosquirrel taking out a vampire cow.
