Pillars of Eternity Character Creation 2.0: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you eager to dive into the world of Pillars of Eternity, but struggling with character creation? Look no further! In this article, we'll take a deep dive into the process of editing your characters' abilities using UABE and hex editors.

To get started, open up the Export.assets file in UABE. You can do this by navigating to the File menu and selecting 'Open' or by pressing Ctrl+O on your keyboard. Once you've opened the file, you'll see a variety of options and settings that allow you to modify your character's abilities.

The first step is to import your changes into the game. To do this, click the Import Dump button and select your dump.txt file. This will bring up the Export.assets window again, but with some important differences. Specifically, the StatusEffects array will be populated with all of the abilities that you've edited in UABE.

Next, scroll down to the StatusEffects array and find the largest MonoBehaviour. Highlight this item and click Export Dump to export it as a separate file. This file can then be opened up in a hex editor or UABE for further editing.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when editing your character's abilities is that you need to make sure that the values you're setting are correct. For example, if you want to give your Rogue's Dirty Fighting ability a bonus to Interrupt as well as hit-to-crit conversion, you'll need to set the Value property of the StatusEffect to 2 rather than 1.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that some abilities may have multiple effects. In these cases, you'll need to use a combination of the StatusEffects array and the Ability's properties to achieve the desired effect. For example, if you want to give your Rogue's Dirty Fighting ability a bonus to both Interrupt and hit-to-crit conversion, you'll need to create two separate StatusEffects and add them to the Ability's StatusEffects array.

In conclusion, editing your character's abilities in Pillars of Eternity can be a complex process, but with UABE and hex editors, it's definitely possible. By following these steps and tips, you should be able to create unique and powerful characters that fit your playstyle perfectly.
