3. Save & exit, then load your game.
4. At the Character Arbitration screen, click on an empty slot.
5. At the character creation screen, select 'Import' and choose the export file you saved A to.
6. Go thru the rest of the character generation and you will have a clone of A, B.
7. In your game, take all the items (the ones you want duplicated) off of B and give them to your other characters.
8. Save!! and load your game. Delete B.
You now have copies of all of A's items. This can be repeated as many times as needed.
