Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Changes Aren't Working

I'm so confused. Almost none of the individual enemy changes I make in character.txt are working except for some global stuff under hardcorenpc. I've tried editing and primary stats, movement. For example. I tried editing _goblin and down to specific goblin characters to change some of their stats around but the only thing I've successfully changed was their resistances. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
