Avernum 2 Annotated Maps

Cheats

Use the editor for most of the mundane things like giving yourself 100 in all stats, and for giving yourself gold, items and spells. It's a nice utensil. Check the spiderweb site for a link to a page (Avernum anotated maps) which has item codes for all of the items in the game.

If you want some less insidious cheating, try these:

Fight End "strategy": This is useful for getting around troublesome spots. Press fight, then press end. Your party moves up a few spaces, and does not trigger special fights/events/traps. This is quite useful in Motrax's cave, as it'll let you get passed those ultra-difficult traps and loot his cave with ease. Note that this doesn't work with a singleton party.
A few initial boosts: Start your party and give someone (or everyone) the divinely touched trait. Then use the editor to get rid of it. You still get to keep all those nice skills, which are very useful at the beginning. This also works with the beastmaster trait.
No phoenix egg needed: In Angierach, you can bring down the barriers with the cloud of blades spell. Just make sure the area of effect of the blade cloud and the barriers overlap.
Weight allowance getting you down? Well, from y0d1n2a3 on the message boards: And if you add anything with the editor, you can carry more without decreasing your speed. The problem is that you can't drop anything since you won't be able to pick them up again.
