Is it possible to get explosive arrows without cheating?
Yes, it is possible to get Arrows of Detonation without cheating in BG2. They sometimes appear as random loot of the highest category but are so rare that you will most likely not get more than a handful in the entire game.

You can get ...

Spells Reference down

Does anybody know what happened to the [url="http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=Xyx+Spells+Reference&meta="]BG2 Spells Reference[/url]? When I checked, the site was unavailable. I hope it has only moved, it would be quite a loss if it was down permanently.

It seems as if you are now the owner of the playhouse, but the game did forget to change the teleporters of the maps. If you descend the stairs in the Five Flagons Inn, the game transports you to the old playhouse area, but Higgold waits in the new area. So no chance that you can actually run your ...

Well, I was assuming that Edwin would cast Wish a lot anyway to keep the party's spell slots filled, and as a side effect Greater Deathblow could appear now and then. Wishing just for this result before every inconsequential fight would of course be a waste of time and spell slots. I agree, that ...

If only clerics had a 2 attacks per round missile weapon they could use ie daggers, darts or bows.
Viconia could make use of cast'n attack with energy blades (9 attacks per round). Nice if Edwin managed to wish Greater Deathblow for everyone.

Nalia has the mage avatar, while Thief->Mages normally have the thief avatar. This is fitting for Nalia, but still not by the rules.

Jan uses some colours, that are unavailable by anyone else. Moreover, he has a unique ability: He can create Flasher Master Bruiser Mates for his personal crossbow ...

In my installs any kind of Pierce Magic and similar spells cast from scrolls on Improved Invisible character still don't work.

Well, I was just offering further options. Contingency does of course not work. See my edit above too.

Chain Contingency, as I pointed out, offers the possibility to get rid of the opponent's protections in one go. A scroll of Spell Striking (best used by a clone) will be quicker too (and avoiding ...

I seem to remember breach working against liches no problem. Keldorn's high level dispel also works no problem these are 5th and 3rd level spells respectively. Is there anything I'm missing here?
