Ascension & Improved Bhaalspawn mods

Couple of quick questions:

How exactly do I install them?

Will either invalidate my savegames?

And if not, will they apply to my savegames, or would I have to start again?

And a longer question:

Does anyone know the details of the Improved Bhaalspawn abilities, which the mod description only says are obscure. Helpful

Thanks all

Your use of the term "them" makes me fear that you're considering downloading the old, obsolete version of Ascension, which you shouldn't do.

http://www.weidu.org/asc.html

The README explains the installation process in loving detail.

Just a word of advice:

When you install it, keep in mind that Ascension and Tactics are REALLY mean mods, made for you to keep busy and really planning what will you do. Despite the new weapons and habilities you may receive, you'll always - and they mean always - be tactically challenged.

A good thing would be to install a few of the mods, run the game with those, and then install the rest. So that you have some time to see what they say when they talk about challenging enemies.

Ah it's been a while since I've played without Acension installed (Or at all) but I can remember a few of the abilities [spoilers] You pick them up while fighting Amellyssan (sp?) and they include the ability, once activated, to be immune to Time Stop, Immune to Level drain, Taking control of demons, and firing uber psyched up attacks (However I never used that one for some reason) [/spoiler]

Hope I answered the right thing.

Err... I was talking about the two downloads on this page; David Gaider's Improved Bhaalspawn Powers and David Gaider's Ascension Mod v1.4

Should I get something else?

Yes. Gaider's originals are now long obsolete. As a general rule, there are 5 places you should check for mods (all will be up to date, and all feature different stuff):

pocketplane.net
chosenofmystra.net
spellholdstudios.net
gibberlings3.net
weidu.org

As stated above, Ascension is currently residing at weidu.org, with an updated and weiduized version.
