Welcome to Realmz‚Ñ¢ PC Editor. This application will allow you to create or edit characters for use with the Realmz‚Ñ¢ gaming environment.
Realmz‚Ñ¢ PC Editor must reside in the same folder as Realmz‚Ñ¢ for it to run. In order to minimize the size of PC Editor we use many of the sounds and pictures from the Realmz‚Ñ¢ application as resources for PC Editor. That is why it must be in the same folder as Realmz to run.
Many devoted gamers have grown quite attached to characters they have in other gaming systems. They would like to be able to enter these characters in the world of Realmz. PC Editor will allow you to create or edit existing PCs to reflect characters that you have in other gaming systems.
PC Editor is NOT a shareware product. You may not distribute the full version of this application for any reason. Please read the software license included with this package.
It is assumed that you have at least a general idea of how to play Realmz, and that you have taken the time to breeze over the Realmz manual. If not, you may want to do so now.
On startup, you will see one menu choice in the menu bar. "FILE"
 
Menu Option 1) Edits an individual PC file.
Menu Option 2) Edits an entire party from a saved game.
Menu Option 3) Creates a new character.
Menu Option 4) Saves the current character or party.
If you would like to change the attributes of PCs you have in a saved game you MUST edit the saved game file. Every time you end a game in progress either by quitting or by ending the adventure, the individual PCs in the party have their perminant file updated. However the reverse is not true. By editing the individual PC files you will not see the corresponding changes to the PCs when you resume a saved game.
Why edit an individual PC file? Editing individual PC files can be useful if you plan on starting a new adventure immediately after editing the files or if you want to create a new PC altogether.
Once you have decided to create/edit a PC, the fact sheet for that PC will be displayed. It will be very similar to the fact sheet contained in the Realmz game. An edit bar at the top of the screen will allow you to edit a PC's spells, conditions, and abilities.
If the current PC is capable of casting spells, you may edit the spells known by the PC by clicking on the "Spells" button.
 
A red "X" over the "Spells" button signifies the PC is not capable of casting spells.
 
"Needs Update" will appear over the "Spells" button if that PC is capable of casting spells and needs to select or update their spells known. For example, if you change your PC from a fighter to a Magic-user, you will need to select the spells known for that PC.
You can give your PC any item you want with a few limitations.
Even though you can give then most items, they will still be suject to the restrictions of that item. i.e. A cleric will still only be able to use blunt weapons.
As you view items in the items screen, you will notice that sometimes the cursor turns into either
  This shows that the current items is not usable to the current PC.
  This shows that the item is considered a unique item.
  This shows that the items is both unique and not usable to the PC.
To view more info about an item, just click on its icon.
To take/drop an item, simple hold the command key while clicking on the item.
To move the list of items to get to that of an item the PC already has, just click on the items icon while holding the option key.
The PC's class, race, religion, gender and number of attacks appear next to raised buttons. (See Picture Below) You can change all of these attributes by clicking on the button. This will bring up a popup menu that will let you select a new attribute for your PC.
