I just received a letter from Sir-Tech answering my questions about Wizardry, and they recommended me to stay away from the program WIZARD'S WORKBENCH, stating that it could ruin the Wizardry disk, and its use would void the warranty. Has anybody used this program extensively? Does it really ruin the master disk? Any comments would be appreciated. On another note, In Wizardry III, if your good party chooses to fight when they come upon the "Fight or Leave in peace" situtation, they could turn into Evil characters as Fighting is an Evil trait. Beware! for now a party can contain all three alignments at once, causing interesting results. Happy adventuring.

I suspect that Sir-Tech doesn't want you to use WIZARD'S WORKBENCH in general because it allows people to create their OWN Wizardry scenarios, thus cutting down on the market for Sir-Tech developed ones. I have seen the program but have not used it. It will only "ruin" your master disk in the sense that it will alter the data on it and if you don't know what you're doing it could mess things up a bit. Just don't alter your original Scenario Master. (It's a good idea to never even PLAY off of the original of the SM, because the shopkeeper keeps totals for the whole disk, and rare items hauled in by earlier parties would be in his shop already. Ik! Also, what if something goes *munch*?) Anyway, just back up your SM before you edit it with WW. WW is quite imp- ressive, as is its counterpart, "Exodus Construction Set". By the way, to the "No Cheating!" freaks, I do not believe that WW allows you to edit the characteristics of active players. But if you can turn Werdna into a lousy Orc, who needs to? .rne. ----- Real World . .
