Introduction
Firstly there are a couple of things to keep in mind: This whole thing only works in Offline Mode as far as I know. Secondly you’ll need a Data Base editor, ( just Google Database Editor SQLite ) or ( https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser )

As always when editing game files, create a back up and also don't forget to save the changes you make in each table.
Editing Player Stats
Firstly create a Team of your Choice, give it a snappy name, name the players if you like (this can be a big help in finding them in the database later) and then either exit the game or stay in The Main Menu / Team Overview Screen .

Next open your Database Browser.

When you’re in your Database Browser you’ll have to locate/open your game’s offline Database. This can be found under /documents/BloodBowl2/Profiles/ (one oft he two, in my case the one that was placed lower, but just open it and look at the user.txt which should say Guest for offline ) / Management Local/ Management.db

Next you’ll need to open the «Browse Files Tab» and select the bb_player_listing table here you can filter either for one of your players names or just look for them manually. Once you have Located your players note down the Team ID and filter for that. Voilla now you should see the eleven or twelve fresh recruits that make up your Team. To edit the stats like Strength Agility and so on just scroll over sideways until you locate them and type in any reasonable value (I can’t guarantee what happens when you type in a value that’s too high). You can also give them traditional level ups by editing the nB_LevelsUp section of the table, which might just give you a level up roll and a skill without actually advancing the players level, I haven’t tested that yet)



So edit away and see your cheating in action.



Player Skills Editing
The same as above, just that we’re interrested in the bb_players_skills table this time. Here you’ll need to do add a new cell at the bottom of the table.

ID should be just one number higher than the one above (this is the ID of the skill that’s added to the Game so the 3456th skill added to any player in the game is 3456 and we’re adding another thus: 3457)

idPlayerListing is your players ID which can be found in the bb_players_listing table or you could note them down when you’re there to edit the stats of your golden boys or gals.

idSkillListing is the ID of the Skill you’d like to add. The IDs can be found under rules_skill_listing or here in a simplified table (Trait 24 is not in the game database so no clue what that is supposed to be, same goes for other missing numbers):

1 StripBall
2 IncreaseStrength
3 IncreaseAgility
4 IncreaseMovement
5 IncreaseArmour
6 Catch

8 Sprint
9 PassBlock
10 FoulAppearance

39 HailMaryPass
40 Juggernaut
41 JumpUp
44 Loner
45 NervesOfSteel
46 NoHands
47 Pass
48 PilingOn
49 PrehensileTail
50 Pro
51 ReallyStupid
52 RightStuff
53 SafeThrow
54 SecretWeapon
55 Shadowing
56 SideStep
57 Tackle
58 StrongArm
59 Stunty
60 SureFeet
61 SureHands
63 ThickSkull
64 ThrowTeamMate
67 WildAnimal
68 Wrestle
69 Tentacles
70 MultipleBlock
71 Kick
72 KickOffReturn
74 BigHand
75 Claw
76 BallChain
77 Stab
78 HypnoticGaze
79 Stakes
80 Bombardier
81 Decay
82 NurglesRot
83 Titchy
84 BloodLust
85 FanFavourite
86 Animosity

so lets say we want to add the blocking skill to one of our players it should look like this

ID
id_PlayerListing
id_SkillListing
Number one higher than the bottom of the table
Players ID
30 (for Block Skill)

NOTE: You’ll have to Manually make these entries ONE BY ONE FOR EACH SKILL as far as I know, to avoid any syntax errors.

NOTE 2: I haven’t quite figured out how to get rid of traits such as Stunty or Wild Animal but I am sure they should be in the players Skills database aswell and should thus be at least replaceable if not removable.
Editing Team Values / Rerolls / etc.
Same process as with everything before, look for bb_team_listing , search for your team name and edit away, again leave the values reasonable as I don’t know how the game handles 12 re-rolls to be honest.

When you’re done editing your team, just make sure you save and the changes should appear as soon as you refresh your game by either exiting and re-starting or just moving into a different sub menu and then back out.

If you know more details/ have any corrections let me know and now claw your enemies to death with a strength 7 Gutter Runner or Pass above the Heads of a Wood Elf team with you Gobbos.

4) CHECK WORK, CHECK WORK, CHECK WORK,WRITE CHANGES, WRITE CHANGES, WRITE CHANGES
5) run Blood bowl 2
6) Goto the teams roster and your character should be ready to level with a -5 level value (i freaked out at first)
7) PAIN

So hell late to update on my finding picking this back up.

Basically I made a road block/killer minotaur whos has all the need skills and stats to be considered broken At level 1 and so on

So On SQLITE in the BB_PLAYER_LISTING table

1)I edited the EXPERIENCE to 400 (im unsure if it matter as far as its need to trigger a level up)

2) I went to NBLEVELSUP on the SAME TABLE
And enter a value of 6. * upon doing this your character will be set to NEGATIVE LEVEL 6 (this might be what the 400 xp helps fix but either way if it doesn't trigger without the 400 I THINK this is the fix
3) for extra spice i edited the ROLL RESULTS and LEVELUPDOUBLE with value of 6 which gave me doubles on my first 2 role(ill make not of the result next time and edit the post lol im not retyping this)

Interesting, I'll try to level up my beast of Nurgle so that I can see if the juggernaut skill get replaced by thick skull.

@TorquevonThorne

I cannot confirm that, but since I haven't touched the game in genuinely over a year I really have no idea anymore what works and what doesn't. As far as i can remeber level ups reset the values you typed in but i might have that wrong. If you replace the skill it might just not show up visually but I that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

Can you confirm that skills can be just added, and it is not possible to switch them instead? I tried to switch the last skill one of my player got for Block. I think I rewrote the value correctly, but when I launch the game nothing seem changed.

It is indeed. i made for myself a Chaospact-Team with (Nurgle)Beastmen, Warriors, Chaosdwarf, Bullcentaur, Blackorc, Ogre, Minotaur, Nurglebeast. Got some free Rotter because of slaughtering enemies. Cheers!

Oh and could you please change the title to "Names, Stats and Skills Editing" or something like that ? The renaming of the characters was the main purpose I went looking into the greasy database files of this game, and I saw quite a lot of threads and/or people asking for that specific change (renaming). Would have saved me a morning :berserk:.
