I'm sure you did try him.... It's not a memory thing- he wasn't there before :D

I used a hex editor to look inside the executable, and believe I found a list. There are some missing (Neo), which do not appear in plain-text in the executable.

Shiren
Gareth
Dragonsbane
Drizzt
Thor
Aragorn
Gimli
Legolas
Gandalf
Frodo
KM
Conan
Riddick
Wolverine
Ironman
Hulk

I haven't tested all of them ... I'll leave them up to you.

Aww, that's no fun! If you do that for the next release, don't tell us. Just give us a few hints.

Agreed. It's much more fun to play around and find it rather than get a list given to us via reverse engineering.

While I agree with Plaid and Dharma, since we have the list, I'll get to work on trying the new ones, and I'll have them posted in about...12 hours?

Edit: I have first impressions for the characters, but I'll post the in-depth stuff after I try them out some more.
Gareth- 12 hp, 20 str, blessed +2+2 two handed sword, +1 plate mail [ac 9], 1 food, 2 potions of extra healing, a ring of maintain armour.
Dragonsbane- nothing appears to be different.
KM- nothing appears to be different.
Ironman- 12 hp, 16 str, +1+1 mace, +2+2 flaming crossbow, +0+0 crossbow bolts (random amount), +1 plate mail [ac 9], 1 food, a ring of maintain armour.

Who knew that everyone would like this game and the idea of secret characters enough to use a Hex Editor? I guess I should've seen it coming since a lot of you are smart guys, and some of you are programmers too ;)

Please, anyone who takes a Hex Editor to upcoming releases, keep the results to yourself... or at best merely provide hints at who you found. It would really stink to put 8 or 10 new characters in the next version and have them spoiled 30 minutes after the update hits :P

Zakia, can you credit any of these that get proven functional to "Hex Edit"? :lol:
