Last night I was down on Level 4 of WK having a go against Saladrex ("dragon taste like chicken?" ;) ) and paused for a moment to scroll back through the text in the message area to check on the result of a spell, and to my surprise amongst the other messages I find:

Saladrex: Die, damn insects ...

I'm not 100% sure of the cause, but I've observed exactly what you describe.

To the best of my understanding, CTRL-I attempts to initiate a _random_ dialog, but some dialogs require certain conditions (particular party members, some event to have already occurred, etc) and if the conditions aren't ...

code wheels just encourages the use of photocopying machines

... and not only that, as any half-decent cracker or warez outfit can isolate the program instructions within the software application itself so that no matter what you enter, it always believes you are correct!

The result: users of ...

I don't roleplay time-wise quite the way you are suggesting, but I certainly take an approach where I treat spells (and abilities, etc) as a scarce resource and only use just as many and as powerful a spell/ability/etc as I HAVE to in order to beat a certain opponent or achieve a certain task. Only ...

Yep Edwin - I agree, there are HUNDREDS of topics in this forum that discuss various classes, multi- and dual- combos, which are best for parties, which are best for soloing, which are best for power-gaming, etc, etc, etc... and I've read quite a lot of them! :o

What I was hoping for was a concise ...

Does anyone know of an authorative list of all the possible dual/multi-class combinations that SoA/ToB will support, including what attributes are required for each?

e.g. Is it possible to be a multi-class Swashbuckler/Cleric (not that I'd necessarily want to ;) ) and if so, what race/alignment ...

And from left field...

I've always thought even the name 'Demogorgon' was worth a bit of a chuckle - I mean...

(Game Designer) "Well, the real gorgon won't be finished for a few months yet, but I've put together this demogorgon for you so you can see how he might look..."

Yeah, I know Black Isle ...

6. IIRC there is also a room in the Mind Flayer section of the Underdark that spawns another Mind Flayer (after you kill the previous one) after about a 10-15 second delay. I guess this is so there's always one around to open a door for you, if you know how to ask nicely!

The guys who discover these strategies (bugs?) are devious geniuses! :p

Bioware would do well to employ a team of people from this board for their Testing/QA team! I'm a software engineering professional and I would give you guys a job anytime.

Mind you, I'm the sort of player who sees strategies ...

Ahh, the old cloak of reflection trick. :rolleyes: Too cheesy for me sorry, but each to their own, I guess.

Also, it doesn't help you much against area-affect spells such as A-Ds horrid wilting, ice storm, etc (which he obviously chose not to bother throwing at you), so I guess I just got unlucky ...

The problem with leaving Yoshi behind in the Copper Coronet in Athkatla and trying to pick him up again after the Underdark is that he dies as soon as you enter the Copper Coronet on your return (you get a 'Yoshimo: Death' message).

You can only ressurect an NPC if his portrait is greyed out in ...

Isn't it wild :cool: how this game is so rich that it allows so many different people to develop so many different playing styles, class/NPC/weapon preferences, tactics, etc, etc? So many tired old, boring games had only one way to win... but not this one!

I can't believe that no one has mentioned ...

Try walking as far into the top-right-hand-corner of the district map as you can, behind the cluster of buildings.

At least, that's where the gang has always spawned in any game that I've played...

... Have I got news for you! ;)

A week or so back I wrote a VERY similar post and got one hell of a cool :cool: reply back from Sabre who had developed a replacement cloak with the same (ToB-style) abilities but without the horrid animation!

The post was entitled "Cloak of Mirroring (in ToB ...

Thanks, Sabre!!! :D

I've updated my profile to allow e-mail responses, so just click on the envelope beside my name in the header and you'll be able to get it to me.

By the way, if the appearance is coded in with the effect of the cloak and you've disabled that, does that mean that any item/spell ...

(Ok - let me say from the start, "I'm sorry!" I know the information I want is on the site here somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it! Search upon search...)

I absolutely HATE the shimmering globe that surrounds a PC/NPC when wearing the "new & improved" (sic) cloak of mirroring that ...

Here in Brisbane (Australia), I was told not long ago that it wasn't going to appear in retail stores for some time, so I placed an order with GamesWarehouse via good-old [url="http://www.gameswarehouse.com.au"]www.gameswarehouse.com.au[/url] and received my copy yesterday! Woo-hoo!

Even if you don ...

In the world of SoA(ToB) there are creatures that can "only be damaged by non-magical weapons". Ok - so what defines a non-magical weapon exactly?

Does the Warblade+4 gets its +4 bonus because of excellent craftsmanship, balance, sharpness, etc or is it due to magic?

Obviously weapons that do ...

Wow - with all those extra spell-slots, high ability scores (that matter for a mage) and a bundle of experience/levels/items from adventuring all over the countryside with you for the vast majority of the SoA plot, Edwin could end up more powerful than Irenicus!!!

In the final battle, I'd like to ...

If you install ToB (which I can't yet, because Australian stores aren't stocking it yet!) AFTER you are already most of the way through with a game that was started (with a party created) when you only had SoA installed, how does the game react?

Is the experience cap raised? Are the new rules ...
