I found out what I was doing wrong. Apparently you need a certain item to disarm them. My question now is, which melee class starts out the strongest? I am playing with difficulty mods and I need to know which build to aim for. Thanks again for any help.

Ahh, I wondered about that. I have the 'skip Irenicus dungeon' mod installed and I told Yoshimo to meet me at the Copper Coronet. Guess it's reload time. Thanks for the tip.

Update: Just tried with Yoshi and he can't disarm them either.

I just started playing BG2 again with the Tactics and Ascension mods installed. The duergar in the beginning dungeon are bad enough, but in the hallway of traps after that with the mosaic floor I was wondering if there's a way to disarm them. Imoen doesn't seem to be able to do it. She usually dies ...

Back in December I posted here for party ideas, and they were good, but I ended up not getting off the ground with the game due to time constraints. Now I am back and here's my party:

1)bard
2)paladin
3)transmuter
4)ranger
5)fighter/thief
6)fighter/mage

Is there anything in there that's redundant ...

I have about 4 mods installed, one for interface, one for map, one for interface color and one that lets you start a new game quickly.

The trouble with what I have is that when you start a 'quick' game you wind up with FAR less than you would if you go through the starter dungeon, which means less ...

I am in the elven crypt and I figured out how to get to the pedestal to take the cloak, but if the cloak is in my inventory, retracing my steps exactly kills me every time. The only way I can get out of that accursed room is to put the cloak back on the pedestal. Is that a bug?

That sounds cool, what would you take for half orc ranger stats at creation?

Thanks. I think I will opt for Barbarian since bows and ranged warfare kind of irritates me and it doesn't work so well close up. I could be off base in thinking that though.

Now I just need to perfect a barbarian build. Thanks again.

I was debating running a consecutive game to my evil wizard, was thinking of either monk, barbarian, or ranger. Which of these 3 is a nice choice knowing the content of the game, and what can I do for multi/prestige choices?

Also, are the ECL races worth it if you go for a full party or just for ...

Is it more desirable to work for the watch even if you're evil or is there a satisfactory outcome to working for Moire? Thanks.

It didn't spoil anything for me, I had heard that one of them splits somewhere else.

I started an Evil Sun Elf Wizard with 9 charisma, is that bad or can I buff it somehow? Also, is it true that if you're evil through the game most of your buddies will leave you? Thanks.

I appreciate your input, I went with a 5 person party which includes a Deep Gnome and a Drow so leveling is slower but I am having (frustrating) fun

I put in a another cleric (human) and a human bard. Was this ok? I am getting beaten down at the moment.

EDIT: Also, my tiefling rogue/transmuter can't cast any spells.

EDIT2: I just remembered that I need scrolls for him

Anyway, I think I am going to start over.

Heres what I am thinking...

1 ...

Okay, can I add two characters to the party you previously suggested? What are two good choices?

Awesome, thanks for the ideas. Would you say it's better to go with 4 characters instead of 6?

Thanks! Is it true that sometimes 6 members are better than 4 in terms of getting xp? I've been searching here and reading and someone warned someone else that it might be so.

EDIT: I have settled on 4 members as the limit, maybe 5. Can anyone recommend an all-multiclassed 4 person party? I would ...

I should add, I really don't want to level squat if I don't have to. There are some excellent ideas found when I searched this forum but the majority of them incorporate xp squatting. Thanks!

I was reading at gamefaqs the walkthrough which had some good party setups but I don't want to take 6 people. What's a versatile setup for fewer party members? Thanks.
