IIRC, charisma isn't implemented as a sorcerer's primary attribute (thus gaining bonus spells) until AD&D 3rd edition rules.
The BG series uses 2nd edition rules, yet despite this, arcane spellcasters get no bonus spells *at all* in the BG series (either through high int, or high cha).

Item disposal *SPOILER*

What can I do with Montaron's body ?
I know you get XP for finding it, but does anybody actually want it (the authorities, or possibly the tanner)?

Another option for multiple backstabs is rings of invisibility (there are plenty of them in the game).
The AI script for backstabbing thieves doesn't seem to work very well, and if you are using that, I'm not surprised that you're not getting a good return from your thief in combat.

While you can ...

You can use a console command to enter the circus - CLUAConsole:MoveToArea(" AR0604 ")
You might have to forfeit the reputation point from the guard when the quest is over, but that seems a lot less painful than doing a clean install.

1. The spells you mentioned are all useful before entering battle. Protection from evil (10 ft radius) is also a very good spell for turning the tide in your favour.

After you reach 10th level, you gain a set amount of HP per level depending on your class as follows:
  • 1 for mages
  • 2 for rogues, clerics, and monks
  • 3 for fighters
Con bonuses no longer apply.

One of the spells she casts is rigid thinking, which is very much like confusion.
It's likely that one of your party attacked a bystander while under the influence of the spell, and that's why the rest of the patrons are hostile towards you.

Sorceror thac0 error

I don't know what mod has caused this, but for some reason, every time I create a sorceror, their base thac0 is set to zero!!!

Would somebody kindly tell me what the appropriate base thac0 for a level 9 sorceror with 9 str should be so that I can make the necessary changes?

Thanks in advance :)

Temple of Elemental Evil is a good romp.
It uses AD&D 3.5 rules, and can be picked up very cheaply.

Combat is all turn-based, which gives you greater micromanagement control over your party, but this means that battles take longer.

Plenty of good fan-made mods available for it as well, although I ...

It does tend to crash a bit though, I'm guessing more than the standard version, once every 2-3 hours or so.
The crashes mostly take place upon entering or leaving Beregost.
