    I was using lum the mad's machine, and It gets up only one point of stat per stat? I've seen many game sites and they all raised tons of stats using that...... what's wrong?

    You should only be able to raise each stat one point using the machine.

    Maybe if you were to keep restarting the game and importing your character you could repeat using the machine but if you are going to do that you might as well just use Shadowkeeper or console in stat. raising tomes.

    Not to mention, its a LOT quicker to just use ShadowKeeper to give yourself 25 in every stat... :p

    What's the fun in that? It's more fun to roleplay and give yourself the bonusses made available in the game IMHO.

    @ Faraaz

    But that would be too blatant; casual users want to deceive themselves but still get the benefits. They want to play by the rules, yet want to cheat, so self-deception is convinient. :shake:

    Sometimes when I want to play for reasons other than realism, I console in books. However, the Wisdom book never works; it shows up in my inventory but I can't use it. Weird, eh?
