Anybody tried TSearch or Cheat Engine to modify anything. Can they even be used with GOG games?

If so.... what??

The constant resting/healing is a bit much... as in, not much fun anymore.

I don't want to eliminate the challange, but, following advice from the Basilisk Forums, I've rolled and built some strong characters...

Mage, Fighter, Healer.... all spend a great deal of time.... resting/healing instead of doing interesting stuff.

any thoughts???

high endurance speeds up healing and high perception speeds up mana regeneration

Try ranger. Kill things before they touch you.
First attack in the game was like that: http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3549/134ko.png

Agreed, also pick a type of magic as well.

Elementalist.
5 levels you can buy as training, you would be able to cast "Predator sense" - no penalty on attack in the dark.
