Hmmm did you turn those attack rolls on?

All i can think of is that you are doing everything right, but missing the first attempt ( to hit roll) and thus breaking your invisibility with a miss. Then when you do hit ( Jan scores 6 points of damage whatever) you are visible and thus no multiplier ...

Tenser's Transformation:

Disables all spell-casting for the duration of the effect, as clearly explained in the spell description. Rightly so

That belt

re: Girdle of Fortitude - Im sure i got that belt from one of these areas! You had to click it for the Constitution bonus, and that would last all day. Perhaps it's because I had the tactics mod installed? Oh well, I've lost all my game-saves now so its a long way to go and check ...

crappy? lol

If i remember rightly, it knocks the enemy back until they hit a wall, which may be 2 screens away. they are stunned for all that time, and remain stunned when they hit the wall.

I used it in a couple of 'close quarters' encounters, and its a nice trick to pull out of the bag, just a ...

Also, you get that belt which sets CON to 18 for the day.

One of the mods beefs up the encounters here, but not enough to give those zones a 'worthwhile' feel.

If I was a modder, I would try to revamp these zones completely. They are very much a 'blank canvas'.

In truth, the post-underdark ...

re: Nightmare's point about resting outside triggering romance dialogue sometimes.....

To elaborate:

you MUST rest outside at times to advance the romance. If you dont, then the romance will just 'hang'.

Completed the game with Jaheira as the main tank. She did not disappoint. It meant she hardly used insect plague at all the whole game (cast time too long). Strength Belt is a must, although I used stolen potions until she got one ( Jan gets the first str belt, for obvious reasons).

High Level Ability: Smite

Used up 2 smites early on in the fight, against Hive Mother and whoever else scared me most. After that it was easier, but still an exciting fight. Smite should be nerfed really.

Most people play this game a few times, and even then will have spells they have never used!

Stop being so harsh on Jaheira! (swoon). Not sure what level she is yet, but you will find the Summon Fire Elemental to be a useful spell. Also in vanilla game, the spell 'Ironskins' transforms her into a ...

Having completed the game with one, I had to add my vote for the marvellous Inquisitors. It seemed to me that every fight against mages needed someone to cast True Sight - which Mr Inquisitor casts quicker than mages / priests. He also saves them having to memorise it ( I seem to remember lots of ...

I read somewhere 'official' (maybe the manual) that the spell Cure Disease will remove effects of blindness. Or maybe it was cure poison. Or maybe it was for curing confusion. Something like that

Mordy swords: you can also kill these with orb.

I have to agree with the earlier comments about Yoshi. Why take Yoshi around chapters two and three, letting him soak up experience which would otherwise go to your long-term party members. The packhorse idea is a great way of getting Imoen kitted out, and is a very fitting role for Yoshi, who even ...

And what is wrong with killing random peasants?!?

You could also try: Stealing and getting caught. Then you can kill the person that catches you.

Later in the game you can change into the Slayer, which gives a rep hit each time.

In a variation on the theme, you can ...
