Trick:
When you create a new character in Fallout 2, then use "char points" and save your character. Find the newly created ".gcd" file and open it in a hex editor. Change the following lines to "0A" (for 10 - maximum here):
Offset -- Byteaddress -- write:
0 -- 8 -- ST
10 -- 2 -- PE
10 -- 6 -- EN
10 -- 10 -- CH
20 -- 4 -- IN
20 -- 8 -- AG
30 -- 2 -- LK
Here you go, all your chars are now on level 10 and it hightens your skill level too.
