The # of attacks/round is bugged in SoA, even without ToB installed. Beats me why people don't notice it more or complain. The bug is more noticable with archers because of the larger number of attacks that they can have with a bow.

<STRONG>davion imo you are correct on both counts.

a) do you have the grandmastery patch? i thought that would fix the attacks per round thing.

b) you are correct w/ the greater wolfwere, there is a bug involved i've run into it a few times, where the whole party ...

I'm know that those Greater Wolfweres have insane regeneration rate. Insane yes, but not 120 HP per round! I have dropped dozens of them in my game time, and I know how tough they should be. Also note that they dropped very fast with the same Archer and same bow, but with regular Arrows +2 instead ...

I actually stopped playing the game for months because of them and even now they hold me back from BG2.

The first and most important, is the bug with attacks per round. My high-level archer (level 17 or so) should have about 4.5 attacks per round with his bow (Tuigan) and about 3.5 attacks per ...
