@FenrirWolfganger I find it's always better to ask when you don't know or understand something! So many people would get further in their pursuits if they wouldn't get embarrassed by simply admitting when they don't know.
The links @Trasd gave in the opening post give lists for Sex, Class, Race, Allignment etc, what value is which and where to find them but there's none for WP so for convenience I'm putting one here. This is for altering your WP's.
As brought out above after finding your character you go down through their inventory (identified by the side bar if your using Hex Editor). About a line after that you will see this pattern e9, 12 spaces, First Number, 3 spaces, Second Number, 3 spaces, 09, 7 spaces, 64. The First Number is how many pips a WP has, the Second Number is the WP. There is then more zeroes, ff's, zeroes, ff's, zeros, and then the pattern repeats.

Obviously even you can give your Cleric five pips in Long Sword he still won't be able to use it but you can make him a Grand Master with a Sling. Hope this helps someone.
Hi @Trasd Thanks again for this tutorial, I found it very useful through BG1EE. Of course there's a but...
I'm in SOD and want to do BG2 next and wanted to do multiple Strongholds and Romances but I've gone over the Infinity Engine link you gave and can't see references to either (I may be BLIND). Did you come across hex values for the Strongholds or Romances?
My apologies if its not what you investigated. I have tried looking but I'm probably just missing a couple of lines in what feels like a haystack of data.
Sorry, @FenrirWolfganger, but I've no idea what SOD, or Stronghold and Romances are!
I did a search, but came up with nothing. Can you provide a link? If it (they?) use the same Infinity Engine as the BG series, there should be no problems. But, I'm shooting in the dark here.
Hi @Trasd thank you for your swift reply, and sorry my question wasn't clear. I often speak so briefly that all clarity is lost.
SOD: BG:Seige of Dragonspear. I've already check it with HexEdior and it's also .gam Version 2.0 and .cre version 1.0.
Stronghold and Romance, I meant the BG2EE Stronghold and Romance Quests. SOD also has Romance Quests which I'm assuming use the same format as BG2 because commenters using computers and mods don't talk of differences between the games.
For the record, I reread this thread while researching last night and saw your repeated comments that you were only discussing the Baldurs Gate series here so wouldn't have been asking you about other games.
I wasn't impressed with the reviews, so I never bought SoD. Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you. Hopefully one of the forums patrons will chime in and say something.
I couldn't imagine Beamdog rewriting the game's data saving algorithms, but stranger things have happened!
Good luck and, post your finding here, if you would!
Comments
0d = decimal
0o = octal
0b = binary
0x = hexadecimal
Thank you, I made more progress, and then edited my message but I still didn't know what 0x meant so thanks for that.
So, thanks for asking. It's how we learn.

Point me to the mods you're talking about (Stronghold and Romance) so I can have a look-see.
BTW, I didn't really mean I'll only discuss BG games, but games that use the Infinity Engine. SoD discussions are fine.
