I noticed things I never noticed in this game before,

1) Imported characters from BG 1 retain the benefits of the tomes that boost attributes.

2) Imported characters from BG 1 do not suffer attribute penalties when choosing a kit i.e.- a druid from BG 1 with a strengh of 19 (thanks tome) will still have a 19 strength after starting a career as an avenger in BG 2.

3) Familiars get better stats if summoned at higher levels. Try summoning a familiar at level 7 and then at level 20, more HP and the ability to pickpocket (cat familiar).

4) Thieves with "use any item" can have the benefits of a familiar! Just read the scroll and reap the benefits.

5) Importing and starting BG 2 costs 5 HP to your character.

6) You retain elemental shapeshifting abilities after dual classing a high level druid, even if your level is less than the druid's.

7) The BG 1 imported dual avenger/ fighter (20/ 25) is the best class combo in BG 2. Not too cheese with lots of abilities to mess around with. Regeneration rocks in a fight!
