Well, having read a lot of posts here on ToB I thought I'd add my contribution. Despite the restrictions of a CRPG, I have thouroughly enjoyed the BG saga. I played twice through BG1, 5 or 6 through BG2, and this is my 1st time through ToB, with my favorite party, all player made:
Elven Sorceror ...

1st off:
I got ToB a few days ago, and spent the entirety of today doing watchers keep (all of it ::smile: :) . This was by far the coolest expierence in a computer RPG I've ever had. The feel of each level, the challenges presented, and after playing through BG2 4 or 5 times having all this new ...

Skull Trap
Weakness: Shorter range
Advantages: No cap on damage (Fireball Does)
They stay around until triggered (allowing you to lay traps for chasing or appearing monsters)
As far as I know, there are no 'skull trap' resistant mosters, while there are fire resistant monsters (Though magical ...

I think part of the problem is that if you're playing every bit of the game, it can get very easy. My 1st time through I only did 3 or 4 major subquests. As a result, I had a HELL of a time with the latter parts of the game. I think that the underdark to the end of the game is best suited for level ...

Well, this being my 3rd run through the game I've been trying some strange things. I remember a post a while back about Jaxarle in Ust Natha. After being tricked into saving stealing him jewls twice, I decided it was time for payback. Unfortunatly i couldn't attack him on my first visit to his ...

The strange thing is that if you cast them seperatly you see the message twice (Havent' checked the actually saves.) Not sure on this though.

I"ve been playing around with my sorc, and found that greater malison will only effect monsters once when fired through a spell trigger. (Not only is only 1 message given, but when through a stroke of luck, I fired a trigger of them at a charmed NPC his saves were only +4) I've heard of people ...

A few things:
The greatness of crossbows was in their ease of use. Longbowmen were devestating in their time, but took years upon years of training to perfect. The crossbow was much more simplistic, so that many many more could be fielded. The 'atomic bomb' of these times was the ballista. (A ...

Yeah, no items as I remember, but it's fun.

Hehe, it would be kinda wierd if Saemon had been the new NPC seeing as I slaughtered him after the incident with the vorpal blade, and his working with irenicus. (For some reason my party members scripts kicked in on that scene, so during the scripted event they killed 6 ot 7 of the Gikthiki ...

Almost all of my common RPG names are stolen from someting, but generally from obscure sources

Ashen (Simplistic, but one of the few non stolen ones)

Ashuermen (Phoenix Lord from Warhammer 40k)

Habbakkuk (Dragonlance God and Book of the Bible)

Aran'Gar and Ogan'Sar (Wheel of Time)

Sparticus ...

I soloed the last fight with a monk fairly easily. (I played a self-made party to that point, but I wanted to try) I got waxed the 1st time, but did much better the 2nd. I would have had a LOT more trouble with it if I hadn't had the Ilbratha +1 short sword in a quickweapon slot (but not equiped ...

Ever since I realized my archer has a FULL backpack of arrows and can eat through 40+ in a single fight, I wanted to see this:

Quiver of everlasting arrows (+1 +2 +3, whatever)

It fits in the ammo slot and provides unlimited arrows. Or for a quiver +X unlimited +x arrows.

I recently played through the game with an all created party. After going once over with the given NPC's I wanted to try my hand at creating my allies. I ended up with

Monk: Kinda weak early on, but shines later ingame. 93% MR after tears of bhaal, and soloed the last fight with him =). Ended with ...
