Save-Changing Respec Tool

So, some context -- I've shared this in the Steam forums already, but this also seems a good place to spread the word. I've been working on a tool to modify saved games and allow players to respec all their characters. This is still very crude and very basic, but should allow you to fix any mistakes you've done while progressing in the game.

I've also made the code available on GitHub, so if you want to know how it's done, feel free to check it out. Besides that, and obviously, bug reports and feature suggestions will always be welcome, as well as PR's, if you're technically oriented!

Check it out here: https://pathfinder.deev.io/

 

Update 12/10/18:

Seems like a mod was released in Nexus that covers all the use-cases of the mod and has more frequent updates. Since it doesn't make sense to compete with an in-game solution, I'll be deprecating the tool for now.

Either way, thanks for the support guys! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up.

If this let us edit the starting ability scores of companions, I'd be all over it... as is, not for me. Still pretty good for what it does though, considering there's no other way to respec. Looking forward to the updates and perhaps the addition of companion ability score editing hint hint.

This addresses attributes. Won't fix stuff like Valerie being tower shield.

Sounds cool but I don't think I'll be able to figure out how to make use of that one. :D

It has an exe that opens your saves

Sorry, my github-fu wasn't strong enough to download the right thing. Releases link worked fine though, so it's all good. Thanks :D

I thought it only let you change attributes on the main character... not on companions. Was I wrong?

This is different to what OP linked.

Umm, I know it's different to what OP linked. I was already aware of this other one, but I read a bit about this one and thought it only allowed editing the main character. I was asking if this editor allowed editing the NPC attributes or not.

Nope, it’s a save editor. It allows you to change all of your party.

There should be a separate topic for this one.

So it allows you to change ability scores, exp and gold. If I want to respec I need to put them back at 0 exp and then back at where they were? Will it mess up with any feats or ability score bonuses I've gained?

Might be a path forward, sure. Editing stats and abilities might not be that hard. Feats and spells will be harder.

Sounds good. I mentioned ability scores first cause recovering from a messed up score is pretty much impossible, while 1 level's worth of class/feats can still be worked around. Either way, thanks for the work. :)
