My Party:

Vesri - Sorcorer
Minsc
Keldorn
Anomen

Minsc and Anomen duel wield, while Keldorn does the usual Carsomyr and other 2-handers thing.

I have found almost every magor bad guy unbelievebly easy. I just get those three to run in and distract/draw fire, while i cast Improved Alacrity. Fight ...

Where's ending 2??

I just finished BG2-ToB, and was looking at the movies and i noticed that i had seen ending 1 and 3 but not 2??? Anyone know what ending 2 is?

Oh yeah...can anything at all stand up to improved alacrity for a mage? I wiped out melisan, and my tanks took no more than 10 damage each?? I have to turn ...

Cloudkilling Firkraag when he's off-screen is totally unrealistic. Dragons are supposed to have sharp senses. Unless Firkraag has some hearing defect, he should be able to hear some Mage chanting Cloudkills only 30 yards away in some eerily quiet, resounding cavern.

Actually, it's too bad that ...

I agree.

There is no real reward for choosing a wild mage. I am playing one myself at the moment and it'd fun seeing cows drop on peoples heads i must admit.

My problem with them is that there are many down sides to the surges, but not very many up sides. Heaps of negative or nothing affects, but ...

You've read the post on soloing a bard. You can't get any better advice than that.

Good Luck.

I'm about to start soloing a Wild Mage. Should be interesting. Could you imagine being in the middle of casting Summon Planetar to woop some big guys ass, and et voila, Roll 4 more times -

There is no enemy in the game that casts Simulacrum or Project Image (two of the most powerul spells available) that I know of
I thought liches cast these, eg Shangalar, and a few others i've come across.

Nope, shadowkeeper doesn't work. Once you dispel it, your stuck at zero. I downloaded shadowkeeper for this exact reason and it was a no-go. It even said in shadow keeper that the value was 1, and changing it up or down did nothing. However when i imported the charactor into a new game he was ok ...

Wild Mage bug...

I've been playing the Wild Mage for a few days now and have come across a bug. If you get a wild surge that turns you into a squirrel your Number of Attacks gets set to zero, and if you dispel the effects, it will stay at 0 permanently. I don't know if this happens if you just let it wear off.

Number of attacks is 0???? Help!!

I was playing away when all of a sudden i noticed that my PC wasn't attacking. I played with his weapons, spells etc...nothing. Then i had a look at his record and for some reason his # of attacks was set to 0. Does anyone know how this happened or how i can get it back? He's a Wild Mage. I have ...

Read what you just wrote. FIXED value, not variable, so when it says sets strength to 21 i'm pretty sure that's all it will ever set it to.

The sorcorer is the best magic user in the game.

'The best spell is the one you can cast, not the one you would have cast if you had've memorised it the night before.'

Role playing-wise it also goes well with the storyline as the the description of the sorc is that they may be part god etc.
