I think a cool idea (but possibly too similar in scope to TOB-I haven't played it yet) might a relatively high level campaign on the Realms based in Myth Drannor and the surrounding regions with a significant portion involving a trip back in time to the arcane age at the time of the fall of Myth ...

Is this a TOB thing, because I'm not sure what you mean by Anomen's spell sequencer... there was one fight in the game (can't remember which one) where the dialogue box told me that one of the enemies had cast a spell sequencer on anomen that included the spells you mention but I didn't know if that ...

Morfeus, I thought the favourite weapon statistic was decided by the weapon that character has been using most frequently to kill/injure enemies. (alternatively, it could be based on which weapon the character eart most experience with).

As you used the long bow to kill trolls ( assuming that was ...

Character quests and booting party members

I was just wondering what happened if you were to boot a charater out of your party temporarily while they were in the middle of their (timed) quest sequences...

Basically, I wasnt to temporarily get Valygar in my party to open the planar sphere, but Jaheira is in the middle of her Harper quests ...

Amulet of Power as loot?

I was just wondering about this as I've never taken Bodhi's side in SoA, but I assume she sends you on a quest to destroy the shadow thief guild.

My question is, do you still get the amulet of power as loot from Aran Linvail's body (or is it pick pocketable, perhaps before he goes hostile?)

Edwin level up bug?

Sorry, another problem I had....

I have Edwin in my party and he recently leveled up from 9th to 10th level... and he did not receive any new spells. I was wondering if this was on account of him having the maximum number of spells of each particular level (at the lower levels of spells) or if its ...

Doesn't defensive spin improve AC by 1 per level (max -10AC), and keep you rooted to the spot. This enhanced bard song ability gives you a similar AC boost (if your AC is at or near 0) and a whole host of other benefit eg magic res for you and party.

The only remaining benefit of defensive spin is ...

I was thinking something similar about the defensive spin ability of the blade kit... seems to have been totally negated. I have a bad feeling that bards are going to get short shrift in TOB.

Irenicus' Dungeon does suck...

But I also agree that the paladin quests are pretty pathetic too. To activate them you need to have carsomyr, and yet they send you on piddling quests to deal with a couple of ettins, and to mediate some dispute. Far too much travel and effort for too little gain. And ...

Sorry about bumping this back to the top. I think it must have gone unnoticed... surely someone out there must know what bard song does.

I did some checking and characters affected by the bard song don't appear to have any thaco modification. Does the bard song only affect morale???!!! :eek:

Bard Song Query

Hmm, I've been looking around the Gamebanshee site after reading the manual, the in game description, and looking back at the BG1 manual, but none of these sources describe what the actual game effects of the (vanilla) bard song are. The game only tells you when the effects are different i.e. jester ...
