Dwarves and Critical Misses

Does anyone know if there's an undocumented effect of size with respect to combat (melee in particular)? I find that when playing a dwarf, I usually get more critical misses than when playing, say, a half-orc (same stat configuration with points in melee and dodge, etc.)... I just dunno if I'm just ...

Junkshops should have them. I usually find one with Ristezze (Shrouded Hills), Well Worn Effects (Dernholme), or the junk dealer at the Tarantian Docks.

This is great! I haven't been to Gamebanshee since I retired from playing Baldur's Gate and went on to play Arcanum but I see that there's support for this game here as well!

Hmm... I have yet to really finish the game since I keep restarting (Restart Syndrome, same problem I had with BG) but here ...

As far as I know, the weapon styles only affect melee weapons... it does nothing to range weapons like bows or slings.

I think you have to be in a certain mindset to really appreciate VtM-Redemption. Having a bit of background with White Wolf's vampire mythos would really help but I think the single player chronicle deals with introducing a newbie to the World of Darkness quite well... I tend to see the linear ...

I brought this up before and according to Kevin Dorner this is actually an undocumented weakness that Archers are supposed to get so it's not a bug.

In the past I always choose demons/devils cuz the faster you get rid of them the better. Nowadays, I always choose Mind Flayers cuz the urgency to get rid of them sooner is greater. (in my Ranger/Cleric game in the past, the only way I could kill Mind Flayers is by using the cheesy sanctuary-blade ...

Did you, by any chance, install the bottomless bag of holding patch? And do you have the bottomless bag of holding? This might be one possibility why your game gets choppy, too many things in the bag of holding really does that to the game, most especially in certain areas (the sewers under the ...

Oh, ok! Guess it's one of those "undocumented features" then! :) Sorry for the gratuitous post!

I still find it odd that a Jester's song would have such an effect... does this mean that his enemies get so bored with his antics that they actually doze off in the middle of his song? :) Not that I'm ...

My Jester's Bard Song

An odd thing happened the last time I tried to use my Jester's bard song -- the enemies weren't confused, they became unconscious!

Let me explain, at lower levels, my Jester's bard song worked the way it was supposed to but now that I'm level 21 (or 22), enemies fall uncounscious whenever I play my ...

You shouldn't have the real ore on you if you intend to give Sarles the fake ore. If you have both of them in your inventory, Sarles will always take the real ore.
