Just in case anyone is having problems with the difficulty level of Eschalon Book 1 or 2 you can get a save game editor.   
 
This save game editor enables you to: 
  
Change your player attibutes,
Give yourself items (including gold),
Edit items in your inventory,
Give yourself spells,
Remove diseases from your character, 
Edit levels 
 
and lots of all stuff as well. 
 
I've used it and it seems stable enough but backup your save games before you use it.
