[QUOTE=stramoski]I was looking through the Clua area codes, and some of them said that there was a different area code for strongholds when they've been obtained. I haven't tested it, but it says that it allows you to have the strongholds when you couldn't normally... Has anyone tested it???

See ...

[QUOTE=fable]Yes--and I know this exact subject has come up, before. Hopefully, somebody will come along with the answer; barring that, your best bet is to search the archives on "stronghold." Lots of false positives on that word, I'm afraid.[/QUOTE]

Appearantly, there is a flag set when you ...

[QUOTE=fable]Not sure, @Molotvir, but I think that possibility was eliminated with an official patch.

At one time you were also able to grab De'Arnise if you were any kind of fighter, then dual class to a mage and take the Planar Sphere for your home, sweet home. But I know the patch killed this ...

What the question says. For instance, say that you accepted Nalia's offer and got the fighter stronghold. Right after that, if you raise enough taxes, you will be kicked out (or you can wait till you do ALL of the stronghold miniquests and THEN raise the taxes and get yourself kicked). At that point ...

[QUOTE=Eryndel]I think maybe something else was going on with this character. For one, the high Con regeneration is 1/hour at Con 20, and increases by 1 for every point above 20 to 6/hour at 25.

Also, regen rates don't stack in the game *except* when the regen rates are the same. If you had a ring ...

[QUOTE=araknid70]Strange question coming from BP; I thought BP was pretty familiar with the game. The explanations may be a little unclear, so here's a direct and obvious explanation:

The CON hitpoint gain only affects the first nine levels.

However, the CON bonus does NOT affect level-ups, it ...

[QUOTE=Brookster]doesn't a higher constitution improve your survival rate when being resurrected? I also seem to remember that there a couple of instances where you have to check for system-shock, and a high con. helps in these instances too... but correct me if I'm wrong[/QUOTE]

In AD&D ...

[QUOTE=FireLighter]oooo WHY do they use it eh? Thats simple... for NPC's who have low con, but are melee... like haer'dalis, hes got like 9 con, and I like him to be a tank, so I use the items.[/QUOTE]

That's what I don't understand. So what if he has 9 constitution? What does he gain by having 18 ...

[QUOTE=FireLighter]well. one thing constitution does, is prolong the length in which you can go without sleeping. Other then that, Im not sure.[/QUOTE]

Heh, yes that's true. I knew that but I didn't mention it in my above post.

There has got to be something I am missing here otherwise nobody would ...

Sure, I got the manual and I read it and I know what the description says and I also know how consitution effects the hit points gained for fighters for the first 9 levels.

My question is: Does a high constitution do anything for you in the game other than get you more hit points per level? Does it ...

[QUOTE=Nightmare]A great way to lower saving throws is Great Malison, AND the spell Doom (level one priest spell). IIRC, Doom is cumulative, and gives -2 each casting.[/QUOTE]

I don't believe that you can stack multiple Dooms if you have the Baldurdash fixpack installed.

Stacking 1 Doom 1 with ...

[QUOTE=Pho3nix]I hate Imoen and Jaheira and dont like the Berserker class I think your better of with the ranger dual class instead of berserker but its just 1 mans opinion[/QUOTE]

LOL, what is it that you hate about them? Their personality or their class/skills?

I think a Berserker/Cleric makes a ...

Hehe, I like this ending. Finally a happy ending for people who like to play evil characters. I didn't like the fact that while the the game gave you the option of playing evil, it also strongly "encouraged" you to play the good side. Furthermore, all the endings for the evil NPCs were bad endings ...

DarkApos,

I replied to the same question you posted on the SoA forum. You might want to check there.

No question about it!

Mmmmm, new items!

In regard to gesen bow, note that you can equip enchanted arrows on it and it will do lightnng and that arrow dmg as well.

Yeah, actually I am surprised that UserUnfriendly didn't say this. He had mentioned it in some other threads.

Isn't is true that if you equip ...

LOL even so I just want to say that THACO is pretty pointless below -20, in fact, it caps at -20
also betting that the problem was duel classing as mentioned above

Hmm, strange that my Thac0 at level 38 with my Kensai was below -20. It was about -28 or so I think ...

This is correct. As a result, let me copy and paste this information from TeamBG's webpage:

"Removing the experience cap of a game is not enough to play to high levels, also download and install a rule pack to ...

If you have Windows 9x (95,98 or ME), then click on Start, click on Run, type "winipcfg" (without the brackets) in the Run box and then click OK. From the box that pops up, you *might* need to change the adapter from the drop down box at the top to see your Internet IP (if you are seeing something ...

Regardless of the amount of XP, the maximum level you can reach in Baldur's Gate II is level 50. This is basically hardcoded into the game and hence it is not possible to get around it (if you try to exceed level 50 with some kind of hack, you end up being level -1).

Regardless, level 50 is ...
