Mage Armor is a spell. You can also get various protection items such as bracers, rings, cloaks, etc. My advice? Keep the bard out of combat, and keep a Mirror Image spell handy just in case the bard gets attacked.

The mage in Kuldahar is Orrick.

Step 1, download it.

Step 2, run the program.

TotL has the final patch for HoW, and adds another expansion area. You won't notice anything except for one new character in Lonelywood who'll take you to the new expansion.

Did you buy the Three White Doves (undead-disrupting mace) in Lonelywood?

If not, just try to draw as few of them as possible at a time and hack them down with your best melee weapons. Another strategy is to create a kill-zone of multiple area-effect spells.

You have to check off the box in the configuration menu, then start a new game. For your first time at it, I'd recommend importing characters with some experience. While you can play HoF with fresh characters, it requires a huge alteration in your tactical thinking, and it's not for the faint of ...

Yes, I do believe you have to talk to Kaitlin before clearing out the main camp - she may give you some XP. She doesn't say anything of interest after Torak is dead.

However, it should not affect proceeding through the game. When Torak dies, he drops a key to the gate north of where you found the ...

It will be fine. You've got a dedicated warrior, two priestly casters, a thief, and enough mage spells to get by.

I actually find the move silently skill more valuable than the hide skill. You can only hide when out of sight anyway, so if you fail, you just wait a minute and try again. In contrast, when a move silently fails, you could be really exposed, especially if you are sneaking around to scout.

Make sure you save before trying THAT particular experiment, as summoning the demon destroys the armor. If it doesn't work, you've lost yourself a darn good piece of armor for nothing. Even if you don't want to use it, it's still worth tens of thousands of gold at the store/temple.

Did you try the ...

Isn't it a door and not a ladder? I seem to recall a door in the far corner.

At the very top, it's a mirror.

The druid spells are great. They've got some of the best damaging spells and summoning spells in the game. Add in the damage resistance of the high level shapechanges, and they're even better.

You could also go the R/Cl route, as it will eventually get some druid spells.

I personally wouldn't bother with a bard in a 4-character party. The less characters you have, the more you need them to do, and a bard is mostly a nice support character.

I'd go with a R/C, F/D, F/T, and F/M, with at ...

I think I tried to donate in the Easthaven temple a long time ago, didn't find a way to do it, and gave up on the idea (I was going to try and kill the elf in the inn for his stuff).

Not sure if it helps with saves, but I can confirm that it does help with some skills.

That's what you get for wanting to murder innocent NPCs for their worldly possessions. :p

I don't even know what you can do to raise your reputation. It's very much a hidden part of IWD, as opposed to BG.

I don't know of any other way to get the bow, even if you manage to kill Emmerich ...

Protect yourself from harpy songs and the like. In the courtyard, get yourself into a protective formation ASAP. Don't forget to have your best tank a couple of steps forward to act as primary target. Use spells to stun/enchant non-undead monsters. Holy Word has a spellcasting time of 1, and Chaos ...

Which also means that you have to start and finish TotL before crossing the Sea of Moving Ice to Icasaracht's Isle.

Yeah, that's about all you can do. However, if you're willing to forego the bow, you can get lots of XP for an Emmerich-related quest.

Um, the Watcher of Helm will be a massive spellcaster. Any major spellcasting class, including cleric, with the possible exception of druid, can be a very good HoF tank. I've used a Ftr/Battleguard, and enjoyed it very much.

It's not really necessary to have a spellcaster as a tank, IF you have ...

Faster level progression as a druid. A druid 7 will have the same XP as a druid6/monk1.

If you aren't going to get the shapeshift mod, I'd pick a level (or 4) of fighter over monk levels or barbarian levels. A bit of extra AC while shapeshifted doesn't help all that much (a lot of the shapes are ...

Maybe the paladin gets a bonus because killing the Guardian is a "good" thing? I actually haven't noticed a HP difference between classes.

The acid resistance should stack with the Aqua Mortis feat. I'm sure it's worked for me before. It also works again (more resistance and HP) when you beat the ...
