    IdentifyAll(oPC, oPC);
    IdentifyAll(OBJECT_SELF, oPC);
}
 
void IdentifyAll(object oObject, object oPC)
{
 
    int nMyLore = GetSkillRank(SKILL_LORE, OBJECT_SELF); // henchman lore rank
    int nItemValue; // gold value of item
    string sMaxValue = Get2DAString("SkillVsItemCost", "DeviceCostMax", nMyLore); // max value that the henchman can id
    int nMaxValue = StringToInt(sMaxValue);
 
    // * Handle overflow (November 2003 - BK)
    if (sMaxValue == "")
    {
        nMaxValue = 120000000;

        if(!GetIdentified(oItem))
        {
