I know you are supposed to be able to upload your BGI character to start BGII, and when you do I imagine you get the stats that your BGI character had when you imported them or whatever (minus stats that are enhanced by things like the gloves of dexterity, obviously).
What occurred to me is that there are several tomes in BGI that permanently raise stats...so is it possible to go around collecting all the tomes then uploading your character again to BGI to re-acquire the tomes and doing so over and over until you have stats sitting at 25?
I'm just curious if anyone has tried this and found that it works. It seems tedious (and there may be some mod out that gives you uber-stats anyway, I wouldn't know) but I may get a few 19's and 20's in some select stats if it is a viable process.
Possible stat exploit?
The thing is that you could just use shadowkeeper to raise them.
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
Yeah its a character editor. It can do just some general useful things like say you drop a good item and lose it. You can just edit a copy onto your character. You can change Jaheira to be a ranger/druid or Edwin to be a sorceror. Or Korgan to be a barbarian. You can edit Garrick (do you play BG?) to be a skald (if you have tutu installed).

Yes, Shadowkeeper (for BG2 and Tutu) or Gatekeeper (for BG1) are charachter editors as has been said. Whilst they can be used to give uber stats, that is not the reason that most people use them. They can be used to change the character in imaginative ways so that they still have weaknesses but are just different.
If all you wanted to do was create a character with uber stats, using multiplayer mode, you could import a henchman who was carrying tomes, then when they had been used ditch him.
Other ways of getting high stats is to use the Frabjous re-roller. This only gives legal rolls, it just re-rolls faster than you can, and you can leave it running whilst you make a cup of tea. I like it because you will never get ridiculously high stats. (You would be very lucky to roll over 100, whereas the maximum is 108.
The maximum of 108 can, i believe be got by using the CLUA console, but I don't know what the command is.
By the time that most people discover the exploits, they have become good enough players, so they would not want to use them.
Other method to create an overpowerful character is to create a character for Bg2 and import into BG1. Experience will then be sky high, which is more important than stats.
There are other mods that change things, but most have been developed to make the game harder not easier, as in general that is what experienced players want.

I decided I was going to play a character completely un-modded from BGI all the way to the end of ToB, but once I'm done doing that I'm definitely going to look into some of the mods posted around this forum. I'm sure people have added great content and character interactions that will keep me playing indefinitely.
And I absolutely agree that challenges and interesting character flaws are what keep this game compelling. When I play through again (evil this time, I think) I'll probably go with a very high str barbarian...but his wis and int will be so low that he'll lose teeth every morning before he determines that he's trying to eat a rock for breakfast.
Anyway, thanks again for the replies and input!
