What can the Scepter do after you use the portal? I remember still having it in my inventory after using it to repair the portal, but I just stuffed it into a Bag of Holding.

Can it do anything else?

Oh..I forgot about that time limit. I usually do the Illithids, Beholders and Kuo-Toa before I go to the Drow. But, if you don't, then resting is a big problem.

The only reason I bring someone that has healing spells is so that I can use the "Rest Until Healed" option. I never cast healing spells during a battle (unless not doing so would result in a party member's death), and instead of healing after a battle, why not rest?

When I used Jaheira as my main ...

The Illithids are not difficult when you have a few tanks with 1 or below saving throws. I don't know which save the Psionic Blast uses, but I do know that low saves will prevent stunning. Of course, there are a few times when you will get stunned, but it isn't a big problem if your fighters can ...

No, I believe the romance will not start if you are a Gnome, Dwarf, Halfling, or Half-Orc. Humans, Elves, and Half-Elves can have romances.

Hmm...okay. Sojourner, do you have any idea how enemy mages know when to cast True Sight when they can't see invisible? It just doesn't make sense. I can understand why they would cast it if the mage could see, but his/her buddies couldn't, but this isn't the case.

Ummm...if you are still in SoA, then it should start like any other romance starts. Just keep her in your party and you will have a conversation within an hour or two.

If you are in ToB and did not get far in the Viconia romance in SoA, then it will not start.

Hmmm...the mages always cast True Sight, even if I have the Cloak of Non-Detection on, but that might be the reason (I don't play with sound...).

Anyways...how can a mage know when to cast True Sight when they cannot see invisible? They would never cast it until they were attacked/you reveal ...

I believe that a Specialist would still have one more slot in every spell level than a plain mage. They both require the same number of experience to level, so there is never a time when a normal mage would ever be able to cast more spells than a specialist of the same level (without equipment, of ...

Oh...I see, thanks. I just wished it wouldn't automatically go to the death movie when you die so you could see what killed you. I don't remember seeing a "Drow Captain (or whatever his name was): Greater Deathblow (or smite)" right before I died.

I believe that Haer-Dalis and Aerie never last until the end. After the *Possible SPOILER* bhaalspawn are killed in Saradush, Haer-Dalis and Aerie have a conversation in which Aerie is angered by HD's comments and says it is over.

Just 16 dex? Don't you need a 17 dex to dual to a thief? My understanding is 15 in prime requisite of class dualling from, and 17 in prime requisite of class dualling to.

I believe that Move Silently and Hide in Shadows both only contribute to the Stealth percentage, so that neglecting one will not yield as high a Stealth as spreading them evenly.

The Cloak of Non-Detection just adds the non-detectable status, I do not think any amount of Move Silently will add ...

Yes, what jeremiah said. Just cast Invisibility 10' Radius before entering and go to the room on the left. I think there is one giant in that room (should be easy to finish one), and when the other giants come for you, block the entrance to the room so that only one can attack at a time.

The Drow Captain

When I was dueling the Drow Captain in Sendai's lair with my bard, almost every hit he would get on me killed me instantly. I tried several times, but a few rounds of close combat would end with a one hit kill.

Because I could not win in close combat, I ended up running with my boots of speed and ...
