The iron golem also has a +1 attack. Thanks, Cren, these are all good ideas.

I've always considered the Mae'Var thief guild quest and the Trademeet quests to be the easiest of the "high-exp-pt-reward" quests (they do have rough patches though). The de'Arnise Keep quest is also not so hard if you know how to abuse the game engine, but I find it quite challenging for low-level ...

Yes, I forgot Tansheron's Bow. So many items in this game. When you say that Tansheron's arrows are faster are you referring to weapon speed?

But, when you can make them do insane things with spells (as many listed above), missile weapons can be somewhat pointless.

It's always good to have as ...

Oh, specifically about the wolfwere change + buffs : I've tried this and it is a hell of a good time. Bodies, bodies, and more bodies! Carnage, destruction, and mayhem! Very nice.

Crenshinibon, yeah, I've actually used Nalia to tank the demi-lich in Watcher's Keep in the past. With Tensor's, Spell Immunity:Abjuration, Angurvadal +4, the Short Sword of Mask +4 (I gave her long sword and 2-weapon proficiencies), Stoneskin, and the strength buff from Angurvadal she was able to ...

Whoa... this guy has to answer for something if he was a willing Nazi guard.:speech:

Letting people off the hook because of age will give an extra incentive to hide from the law for as long as possible.

It's also morally ugly, to say the least. Nazi guards certainly didn't care if their victims ...

Sorry, thought "ironman" was the same thing as "solo".

99% of what I wrote still applies though. You just have to be willing to gamble that you won't get caught. But I don't think this is a smart gamble at all. You could potentially miss out on a TON of necessary items. I would just buy stuff. Gold ...

Hey there-

1. Dispel/Remove Magic can get rid of huge nuisances like Stoneskin, Haste, and Protection from (*insert whatever here*) provided that your level is adequately higher than your enemy's level. Breach can dispel a lot of these things automatically, of course, but Remove Magic has an ...

Thanks, Coot - I think you're right. Basically, Im and Nali are just relatively weak archers and you can't really change that. I think the best you can do is to use different weapons for different situations, give them the Bracers of Archery if you want, and use Haste/Tensor's if it's worth the ...

What missile weapon do you find is the best for these girls in the after-Underdark stages? I know that the Tuiguan Bow +1, the Crimson Dart +3, Gesen's Bow, the Darkfire Bow +4/+5 are the best candidates if you don't include Melf's Minute Meteors, Energy Blades, or the +5 darts from the Cloak of the ...

The Autobiography of Malcolm X is a good example of a story of how someone overcame his (very intense) hatred. Malcolm goes into a lot of detail about his feelings about whites, how he was victimized by some of them, and how he came to forgive them. Of course, his change of heart had a lot to do ...

Xandax, what are you referring to when you say that Mandela used his "hardship" status for personal gain?

So, Demortis, forgiving your captors is out? You'd rather give the bastards what they've got coming and then go out in style, so to speak? What if forgiving your captors could get you a reward? Like eventual freedom without strings attached for your cooperation and good behavior?

Ok - Theory Time.

Thought experiment:
What motivates you more to forgive your captors?
A)The knowledge that you can consider yourself a good, spiritual person for forgiving people who beat you in prison for years.
B)The knowledge that if you don't find a way to emotionally deal with your tormentors ...

Let me humbly suggest that if nobody had ever come up with untested theories, then we would still be living in caves, practicing slavery, believing that the earth is flat, etc., so on, so forth :angel:.

And Xandax, your approach to your poor hypothetical Mandela puts him in a no-win situation ...

I agree. I think she adds more memorable situations to the game than any other NPC. I think she's very underrated.

Jaheira will do fine with the Gauntlets of Ogre Power. There's not too much difference between 18/00 and 19 strength. It's great that you have both Belm and Blackblood because you can switch between them - you'll probably find that you'll prefer one in some situations, and you'll prefer the other at ...

Fable: Heh, I doubt that Mandela loved his enemies. The ability to love enemies is the mark of a saint, not a freedom fighter. Of course, I'm neither a saint nor a freedom fighter so I'm just making theories. :angel: But I would be equally surprised if he was consumed with hate for them. Good to ...

Heh. Provocative topic. The devil comes in many guises. ;)

Fable: I broadly agree with Claudius. I 100% believe that the concept of "enemy" is the mistaken result of strong emotional reactions - *most*, but certainly *not all*, of the time. (My little disclaimer: I'm not a Buddhist or pacifist - I ...

Crenshinibon: Don't underestimate how big a lifesaver the Celestial Fury's stun ability can be. I can't vouch for its usefulness as a backstabbing weapon because I've never used it for backstabbing. But I'd definitely rate CF as one of the top melee weapons against most enemies with a lot of HP ...
