Beserk Misc attacking party

Hi all

I found myself murdering Misc last night in a fit of annoyance... monsters all around, and he desides to try and kill Keldorn!

I'll retrieve him of course, but is there anyway in future to ensure when beserk, he goes for the bad guys? Or do I just have to keep everyone out of his way ...

'Sticky' proposal: A glossary

hi all

As a new member around here, it has occurred to me that a glossary would be really helpful for newcomers to the forum/genre.

Does one already exist? I did try a search but didn't find anything...

Knowing what, just to pick a few examples, everyone meant by buffs, cheese, munchkins, AoE ...

thanks guys for all the advice; I'm a kensai dualled to mage, and I've got my strong hold. I've also done a few quests now, but I hadn't given any thought to levelling up Imoen - that's a really important point... here I am giving tonnes to experiece to bloody Aerie!

Ok - onwards to chapter 3 then ...

How many quests would you tackle in Chp 2?

Hi all

am steaming my way through a variety of quests in Chp 2 at the moment, and really enjoying them [on my first ever play through]... but wondered what everyone's opinion was regarding how much exp. you need before moving on to chapter 3?

Once I join the shadow theives [I've kind of already ...

agreed; I don't have any scripts running for any of the other characters except for yoshi; for him, I find it handy not to have to remember to keep stealthing him!

Can you create custom scripts? I always wanted to do that for starcraft [et al]... attack [until] 50% hp [or] monster dead [then ...

Errr... no.... actually, it was the easy one - shadow dragon. Still a dragon though! Am working up slowly :) I prefer smaller groups too [4 or 5] so want to get up another level or so before I try to tackle firkraag

Joshi keeps trying to hit me!

hiya

not a big deal really,but I notice that with AI turned on, Yoshi script set to Thief/tracker, at the end of a fight, he starts trying to hit me!

It's kind of funny in a - oh bless you - kind of way [oh, ouch, your 8hp damage is killing me] but any ideas why this is happening? I've got latest ...

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

no new mage spells when dualling...?

hi guys

have just dualled my kensai to a mage, and took advantage of the scroll-write magic-get experience trick [after temporarily disbanding my party].

Anyway, worked a treat, had been collecting scrolls just for this purpose, and got up to 8th level; however, on each level up, although the ...

I think I'm going to /have/ to do ToB!

For me it has to be cleric.

I used to always play Clerics in my old paper-based AD&D days - I could fight, and I could spell cast.

So when I first fired up BGII, I natually went for a Cleric. Hey! I can fight, and I can spell cast. Great.

Not great. Turns out I am in fact, a crap fighter and a ...

'which level' advice for dualling..

hi again

I'm really enjoying my Kensai at the moment [dual-weilding long swords->haste->food blender-style mayhem!] but fancy dualling to a mage at some point soon...

wondered what everyone's opinion was re. best level at which to switch - 9? 12?

Activating sandman ring of inv.

Hi all; new to the game, so apologies if this is a really dumb question;

I've found a sandman ring of invisibility, but don't seem to be able to operate it. When it's worn, the ability to go invisible doesn't appear in special abilities 'menu', I can't alias it to a quick slot [obviously] I can't ...
