Mindflayers drain intelligence with each hit - more powerful ones take 4 per hit, lesser ones still 2, so dumb guys die quickly. :)

Interesting thing to note - they can't see invisible creatures, so if you block them with two invisible bodies, say, in a doorway into a room, the rest of the party ...

Yes - although it's been discussed many times, stat draining him will kill him. (shapechange: mindflayer, one of many weapons that drain strength, wisdom, levels, etc)

I didn't know you got a ton more gold by finishing Nalia's keep with her in the party vs not. I've never taken her with me (can you blame me?) so I always assumed I was just getting short changed and happy to take the experience.

That sounds like a bug.

While it's true that there are some things you can't kill until their script is activated (Kangaxx's 2nd form, for example), I know I have killed those same golems many times without any consequences.

I did that once with three fighter classes all GWW'ing the poor dragon to bits while the mages cast ADHW's. I reloaded 6 times and only did it once, but you're right that it is possible. :)

All the npc's have scripts - when you go to control the player, his "attack" script is enabled. Once you turn him green, pause the game, click the button that highlights your whole party and march over to the door you want to unlock. As soon as the door is unlocked, the spell will be broken, and the ...

You can still complete Adalon's quest - fight your way to the temple... kill the matron mother (that unlocks the gates to the city if they are closed) - doesn't sound like that's necessary though, so just steal the real dragon's eggs and fight your way back out of the city.

Frankly, to both, I think they should.

The extra half attack should be there - dumb question - you are using a weapon of the correct class, right?

For the to hit and damage bonuses, yes, they should apply to weapons in either hand. You can test this out by getting unenchanted weapons and sticking ...

I have had the insect plague spell come back and get me too... I think it's one of the higher level spell turning type-spells that turns it around. I've gotten into the habit of not targeting the one I want, but their nearby associate to insure I get them (a nice doom or two helps).

Nope - insane means that your opponants deal double damage to you and your party, not that you do double damage to your opponants.

Does the lowest skill level do that?
