session. "Replace" is useful if a character has died and can't be resurrected or if
he or she turns out to be a dud later on in life.
Caution: When you "Replace" one character with another, the character you
remove from your party is gone forever. So, be careful not to send your prize
Samurai packing off to Florida and out of your adventure.

Delete PC
Occasionally, you may need to free up space in the master roster so you can create
new characters (the master roster holds up to 16 characters). Other times, you may
create a character who is less than you had hoped for. He failed Wizardry 101, and
even tripped on his way out of class. It's times like this that you are left no choice but
to select the "Delete PC" option. Remember, when you delete a character, it's for
good.
Rename PC
If you want to change your character's name, use this option. Remember, the name
may not exceed seven letters, and you cannot have two characters of the same name.
Adventuring
The essence of Wizardry is adventuring. It's time to accept the challenge and leave the
safe confines of the outside world and venture into the unsafe, but potentially
lucrative, corridors of Bane of the Cosmic Forge.
Successful adventures consist of at least nine stages:
1. Preparing a well-balanced party and continuing to develop this balance as
they grow, becoming more experienced and more powerful.
2. Exploring everywhere and searching for hidden items and passages.
3. Mapping accurately so you can return to certain spots or recall a specific
location, although this is not necessary to win the game.
4. Fighting the monsters (successfully).
5. Resting your party from time to time.
6. Talking, bartering and interacting with Non-Player Characters.
7. Taking good notes about all you see and hear.
8. Using this knowledge along with your intuition and logic to complete the quest.
9. Staying alive!
Each time you resume your expedition and are ready to begin play, take a minute to
check out your characters. If anyone is without full hit points or incapacitated, a spell
or a few hours of rest is advisable.
