For some odd reason I seemed to have broke the Thief in battle. I'm tinkering around and making a sort of fun different mod for myself using FFHackster and an old fashioned Hex Editor and now the Thief uses his fists instead of using the weapon that HE HAS EQUIPPED in battle and only hits for 1 DMG! Makes me wonder if the armor he has equipped is also broke in battle as well. Suggestions for those of you Final Fantasy hackers out there? I tweaked the weapons and armor around but everyone else can use them correctly except the Thief. What did I do? lol

If this was an SNES Final Fantasy I'd have it fixed by now.   Grin

Did you check the damage routine and check to see which value makes a modification to the character's attack?  I would imagine that the routine would checkfor Black Belt or Master, then branch to a routine that would check for equipment and penalize them accordingly.

Best thing to do is compare your rom with a fresh rom and see what was changed, and if any of it was a factor in the Thief being broken.

But what if I didn't even edit that?  Does FFHackster edit that?  Do you have an offset list for FF1?  I think the ones I have are old.

not an offset list per se, but here's all the notes i've accumulated over the years from random people-might have that info in one of the text files:
