Ahhh, thank you.

Should have a scroll somewhere in my numerous cases if I'm not mistaken.

Cheers,

Deck of many things, irreversible?

My strength has been reduced to 6 by the deck of many things in Watcher's Keep. I'm a fighter, and now I can't wear armour or do very much useful stuff.

Is this irreversible as it says in the deck instructions, or can I do something about it?

Thanks,

The Thane

I said placatory stuff to her. She'll probably just think I'm playing hard to get, like some messed up surfacer.

Thanks.

Romancing the drow

I've been chatting up Viconia all through the game, even though she can be a real pain in the ass at times.

I'm near to finishing BGII now, and ready to get throne of bhaal. Suddently, I wake up one morning and she tells me that she hates me, my options are to tell her to piss off or apoligise for ...

Somebody put this tip up somewhere else, but as soon as he transforms into the demi-lich skull thing, transform yourself into the slayer. That gives him a surprise. Don't forget to transform back to a human as soon as you can though. It's only 2 rep points, which is just a couple of thousand coins ...

Yeah, but I'd rather Jaheria was a multiclassed fighter/cleric.

Who wants to turn into a bear anyway? Give me god damn restoration spells.

I had the same thing and it drove me mad, running about like a coward to try and lock the buggers in a room.

Anyway, I quitted, reloaded the game and next time it was fine, they went down like the rest. Got to be a bug.

I had a a go at him last night with a level 12 party of Vic, Jaheria, Nalia and a fighter (me).

Just summon everything you've got (but hold them back for the first couple of rounds, otherwise he death spells the lot straight away). Bless, chant, stoneskin, haste, potion up etc etc.

I don't know ...

My favourite combo: web and fireball.

It's not glamourous, but it does the job.

Taking down high level mages is another matter, and I'd be interested in people's favourite techniques.

I go: breach and/or spell thrust, secret word, dispel magic, and sometimes get a miscast magic on them, then try ...

my text comes out backwards

Whenever I type anything in BGII, such as my name, the text comes out backwards, ie Thane comes out enahT.

This isn't such a problem in single player, but it's a killer for multiplayer. I have to play half-orc and pretend that I'm speaking in tongue. But that gets people annoyed.

Anyone had a ...

Chaotic Neutral Fighter (can't remember which kit, I'm a basic set d&der at heart). The problem is though, is that down in the dungeon beneath the beholder cult, I get ambushed by shadows and the like from all sides, which means there is no where to escape to.

Also, my character does not like to ...

Have you tried to go outside and get a demon heart? If not, try that, and see if he then gets his act together when you come back with it.

Thanks. Reckon I'm going to have to get me a cleric and resign myself to the shared xp penalty. I've been going up like a rocket playing with just three people.

Jaheria, because she's all woman. Valgyar, for his stoic, slightly melancholic attitude to life.

Nalia can hang out with us, but she's sort of like the ugly, uncharistmatic person who nobody really listens to but tolerates cause they're rich.

Yeah, I'm sad..... Better than working though.

Agreed. Aerie was one of the most useful people in my party first time through. I just can't stand her.

Mix up over what we meant by decent/good I think. All the characters are good at killing/maiming/destroying etc etc but only a few are decent people who you'd want to share a mead with in the ...

You can buy restoration scrolls - ahhhh. I may be a top door bashing skull crushing warrior, who may one day be King of Caledonia, but I'm none to clever at times.

That looks like the solution, plus negative plane protection.

Thanks all.

Well, that's a problem with most of the characters really. Jaheria is the only character that I really like, maybe because I associate fantasy settings with european accents and, without being offensive to my yankee brethren, the american accents feel a bit too much like 1950's hollywood camelot ...
