Q. Is there any way I can keep my equipment when I import to SoA?

A. There is speculation that if you pause the game before the movie sequence starts, you can get into your inventory and put all your items on the ground. Not too sure about this one as I haven't gotten around to testing it yet.

It's not speculation. Import your BG1 character and start a new game. As soon as the game loads and the screen goes black hit your [Space Bar] to pause the game. Now you will see the small icon of your character in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Click on the icon to open the inventory and drop everything on the ground. Now hit [Space Bar] again to resume play. The opening scene movie will play and once you have regained control of your character click on him again to open his inventory. You will find him standing on the pile of equipment that you dropped. Another way of doing this is to start the game in multiplayer mode. You can use the same trick as before or if you miss time the pause just let it load. Once the game is running just go into the Character Arbitration screen and delete your main character, select the Create Character button for the main character slot and then import your BG1 character again with all his equipment.
