Kind of surprised the Swash/Fighter dual combination hasn't been mentioned. As far as melee goes it's quite powerful.

Valid reasons for a CG character to dump Jah:

1- Even though she's scripted as NG in my opinion, she is in fact Neutral. Alignment-wise, there would be clashes of opinion on decisions to be made.
2- Some of us consider her bossy and annoying. In the first dialog with her outside of Chateau Irenicus ...

Mazzy will also tell you where trademeet is if you don't (and maybe if you do) accept her into your party.

Spoiler:

There's the test with Sarevok (Evil: +2 Str, Good: +1 Wis & +1 Chr) and the one with the cloak (Evil: +1 Con) which will allow you to get extra stat boosts

Spoiler:










Most of the information above is valid and, under the right circumstances is extremely effective. A couple things to notice are that most of the members of the Eclipse party have Eclipse weapons that make them immune to blindness and missile weapons. They also make them regenerate ...

Spoiler - Highlight to read:


1) Yes, The Five are the improved versions and are together along with Mel. Abazigal doesn't turn into a dragon however.

2) No, they aren't impossible to beat. They aren't easy unless you use a lot of cheese, however. By the time you get there, hopefully, your ...

Ctrl-R by itself might work. It has for me in the past. It also restores the individual to it's natural state.

(Spoiler)

Something to consider...

I realize that you want to play a character but, for maximum backstabbing ability (Highlight to read...)

The fully upgraded Staff of the Ram (TOB) is, by far, the best backstabbing weapon in the game, followed by Celestial Fury +5 (Weimer Module) and then Hindo ...

**Spoiler** Highlight to read

The cloak of reflection (reflects lightning) is what is found in the asylum. This is found on the table in the room with the mad dead who ask you the questions.

Try using unlimited missile weapons between the central tower (Upper exit from Gromnir's castle) and the tower that appears to be north-most (is that a word)? :rolleyes:

Anyway, if you use an agressive AI, you can let your characters just kick back and kill fire giants to the tune of 8000 xp/giant ...

It's your game, of course but there is an extra 1/2 attack gained by fighter classes at lvl 13. I, personally, would wait just 1 more level.

Was thinking doing 5 in quarterstaff then cleric ...

I have found hasted skeletons and (much preferably) skeletal warriors to be extremely helpful when struggling as they are immune to most of the psionics and the brain drain. If you aren't under time constraints to finish this, you might want to take a room, rest & regroup and take another room.

The ...

Forgive my ignorance but what is the stack potions trick? I don't remember being able to sell things at the temples either...

It has been a while since I've played BG however...

Re: A note..

A PI with SI/Div, SI/Abj and Mislead can be good for LOADS of fun, especially if you can tuck the decoy away somewhere safe.
Ooops. Didn't notice this part before entering my bit about using Simmies with True Seeing opponents. I've always wondered about the SI/Div & SI/Abj factor ...

PIs and Simulacra cannot, alas, use triggers or contingencies (Drat, drat, drat) - you can have, as Sker noted, up to 4 PIs active at once, but you can only cast one simulacrum (at least with tactics).
True but there is a way around this. Triggers that ...

Re: More stuff about spells...

PW kill, hmmm...maybe replace one or both of the imprisonments?

I personally don't have much use for shapechange. Why replace imprisonment instead of SC? Just curious on your reasoning - always new stuff to learn...

If you had a F/M I would understand Illithid ...

Here's a little sample from the cheese factory:

When your spellcasters hit a high enough level and you need incredible power:

Chain Contingency: Project Image x3 on Self when Helpless
Cast Project Image

With Improved Alacrity (Greater Acuity), Time Stop, Vecna's Robe, & Amulet of Power you can ...

It's especially helpful in picking pockets. The merchant in the Copper Coronet has an outrageous chance of catching pick-pockets. A score around 200 is safe for him.

For most other things, 100 is sufficient.

if u hack wih shadow keeper u aint a real fan of BG
I don't think I'm exactly a newbie (I realize that I am to this forum) to the game. :p I definitely wouldn't call UU ...

I'm afraid that people without a high IQ probably won't post here or will inflate their scores so getting an accurate reflection of intelligence will be difficult... I guess that's just the stats classes coming out in me. Sorry.

Anyway...
Str: 9
Con: 8
Dex: 12
Int: 17-18
Wis: 16-18
Cha: 13
