(it's been years since I've done this but I'm fairly certain that is the way it was - or at least the only way that I could make character changes stick).
I will have to look into this more. From what I can see, the first two sets of character information are just re - hashes of the Roster.dat file. The third one is the set of records that I have been describing in this forum. I am not sure if it is all changes to PCs or only some of them that will need to be done three times. Even in the latter case that is not hard.

One thing I will need to check is whether you need to alter all three entries when you only want temporary possession of an item. If you only need the item long enough to trigger a role ascension then altering the last record might be enough.
