This part has been well covered by DAK in the previous response.

The following places need to be updated for a change to be saved and read
in ASCII pfiles:
structs.h - the char_data structure (or one of the embedded structs, like
char_ability_data, as you did.)
pfdefaults.h - one line per change.
db.c - char_to_store and store_to_char
My guess is that this is where you forget to add lines like:
if (GET_POW(ch) != PFDEF_POW)
fprintf(fl, "Powe: %d\n", GET_POW(ch));
and
else if(!strcmp(tag, "Powe"))
GET_POW(ch) = num;
utils.h - define the accessor macro GET_x, etc.
<snip of prompt & str_cmp issues>
I hope my guess is correct. Otherwise you'll have to give us some more
info.
