I made a zip File containing the first version of my "Bards Tale Item Viewer".
Download it, extract it and double click on the *.jar File.

I made a JavaFX Application to conveniently show/filter the items contained in the JSON-Files above.
It lets you show all items (of BT3) with their (hidden) stats.
you can filter by class and slot.
i attach a first screenshot. I take a look how i can give you the app too.

can someone answer the following question after disassembling the code?

resistence and classes:
do all classes have the same resistance (chance to avoid spell damage) if they have the same luck-value, level and the same items equipped? is there a class-bonus to resistance or do some classes get ...

I compared all weapons in your bt1 json files with the html-tables on wikia.
http://bardstale.wikia.com/wiki/Tales_of_the_Unknown_:_Items

most items there are perfectly correct. only a few things to debate:

thief dagger on wikia states that he increases chance to hide, but there is nothing ...

strength gives you bonus to damage (BT1. in bt3 msdos it only gives to-hit bonus afaik)

and please consider: if you do tests, do it without enemies casting "casts a spell...", because they may have altered your damage with this spell.

there are pages out there and posts here on this forum where ...

in some versions you have to press a button to go through (open) a door.
i think it was 'D', you can find it here somewhere on the forum i think.

and according chests: dungeons consist of rooms and hallways. inside rooms, loot lies inside chests. but in you fought in a hallway, you get loot directly.

Thank you very much.

I took a first look into the files and found some interesting things:
Familiar Figurine has Spell Points Regeneration! (bt3)
Can anyone try if this stacks with Mage Staff?

Another interesting thing:
While Conjurstaff has
"hasHalfSpptUse": true,
the Staff of Gods has ...

epic work, drifting :-)

dreams come true with your work.

we spent weeks of work trying to figure out how many damage a weapon might do, and you are able to export the REAL data of each item to a file. great!

btw, the links are down currently. please would you be so kind and replace them somewhere ...

has anyone tried if it is sufficient to only have a bardsword in inventory but not equip it?
(this works for conjurerstaff, as you can read somewhere else here)

i would prefer to use something deadly like a stoneblade to kill monsters with my bard with each attack.

there is another thread somewhere here on the forum about a bug-fixed msdos version of bt3.

i only remember that a death horn is very helpful against the black slayers
