FAQ

Q: Can I change my class after creation?
A: You can change the class field, but it doesn't automatically adjust stats. Manually set stats for desired class.

Q: Will editing stats break my save?
A: No, tool recalculates checksums. Stats within 1-99 are safe.

Q: Can I exceed level 713?
A: Level is calculated from stats. Max stats (99 each) = level 713.

Q: Does changing NG level give me items/bosses?
A: No, it only changes the cycle counter. World state unchanged.
