I just noticed, that the guy called Lum the Mad in the asylum is the name of this guy at newgrounds.com. There is a cartoon making fun of him. Its called Lum the Fat. I haven't seen this guy as yet but in the gamebanshee bracers list you get one of the bracers from this guy in the asylum!

Lum is also a popular figure in Japanese anime, which may be where they got him.

Lum the Mad is a wild mage, and in ToB, there will be a machine which will have completely random effects. u ll be able to pull handles and press buttons. it may grant u higher ability scores or it may punish u with a flame strike.
completely random effects =]

lum the mad invented the machine of lum the mad, which can be encountered in spellhold, and watchers keep..which will feature a much more advanced device..that could cause you to loose 5 levels, or gain 3 int permanently

his machine is a very old ad&d greater artifact

You do realize that this is really open to abuse? Which one of us would willingly accept a loss of several levels if we used such a machine? Who wouldn't reload a previous saved game, and try again?

i quite agree, but this was bio's statement on what it could do..methinks they didnt learnt the lesson with the tomes in bg1

Agreed, Lucian. It's almost as though SK were installed inside the game.

Now, if they had a way of enforcing Ironman mode, so that once you invoked such a device the changes were automatically applied even when a previous saved game reached the same point in time, I could see it working.
