Machine of Lum the Mad

[Sorcerer Dave]

When I played Wathcers Keeps first time I just entered the code to get to the next level of the Keep. That was several months ago.

I then went back to BGI and made a new char and went through it all again and then imported him into BGII. Then came back to these boards and saw some people saying the machine could increase 1 stat on your character, so I thought I would try it. I used the notes you find lying around the keep, and increased my STR, I thought that was cool so I decided yo use the others to see if they would work, I didnt expect them to but they did. Not only that but you can add 5% MR too and make a weapon I didnt know the machine was that good.

Well after the Machine and the Tomes in BGI, the Deck of Many things and the stuff from the Tears of Bhaal, my Kensai/Mage now has stats that are god like.

STR: 20
DEX: 20
CON: 20
INT: 21
WIS: 15
CHA: 13

Anyway I didn't know the machine was that good, can it do anything else?

IIRC, it adds stats, mr, and the Storm Star. And open the next level portal.

Here is a complete list of the valid combinations:

Triangle Green Medium > Storm Star +3 (Cespenar can upgrade)
Blue Green Long > Gain Magic Res.
Circle Blue Long > +1 INT
Square Blue Short > +1 DEX
Red Green Short > +1 CHA
Circle Square Triangle > +1 WIS
Circle Red Long > +1 CON
Square Short Medium > +1 STR
Triangle Red Medium > Exit to next level

Note: You can only do the Stat bonuses ONCE.

If you enter in an INVALID combination, you get some really bad random
effects (well, mostly bad):

10% chance to gain a Potion of Superior Healing.
10% chance to get 100,000 experience (only for whoever used it)
10% chance to become Imprisoned (bad if it's your main character)
10% chance for 50 fire damage
10% chance turned to stone (bad if it's your main character)
10% chance to lose 1 INT
10% chance for 75 lightning damage
10% chance to be poisoned
10% chance to lose 15 levels
10% chance to lose 1 DEX

should proably mention that the good ones only work once

Oh you can enter them a second time with adverse effects.

For example:
1st time Red Green Short > +1 CHA
2nd time Red Green Short > -1 INT

That was the only one I tried a second time to see if I could be greedy. It could also be from the random list above for the second time.

The +100.000 exp is a good way to get free exp as you will always have a 10% chance to get it when you mess up the combination.
