Yikes! Tainted meat! Not good! Seriously though, I don't know. There are
some other character editing problems... For instance, try the copying-the-
player.dat trick, and the cast gate travel. Instant death... You have to
find the moonstone first, and then set it down. Also, when I was
messing with the file I changed my awkaeness from awake to fatigued, and
I never could figure out which variable made the change.
Anyway, I don't know. Has anyone figured out how inventory items are
stored yet?
