I've used the Archer(not properly was my 1st char), monk, and beserker(way too powerful imo). I was just wondering if the Shapeshifter was a good character? I picked up Cernd for a bit and really enjoyed him tearing things up as the wolf...So how is the shapeshifter class?

Okay, I've decided to make an evil half orc beserker...should i dual wield katanas or take a 2 handed sword? Hammers, clubs, etc just bore me sorry.

Figure I'm gonna just wack everything as a evil bastard.

How about if went with katanas? There's a warning about how they're hard to find, but they're cool as hell!

Why Dwarven? I just made a Half Orc Beserker and my god, did they even balance this game out? He's unstoppable it seems. Makes me scared to go back and finish my Monk. I'm in chapter 3 with the monk...but at the rate this evil beserker (2 handed sword mastery) goes through enemies he'll be in ...

I'm going to make an evil character for a change in BG2. I was wondering, what is the best melee fighter in the game? I want someone who can just make bodies explode Suggestions on race/class/weapon specialization please?

I just finished the sphere quest..and during the quest I reached lvl 12 with my monk. All of a sudden he walks at the same speed as all my other characters. Is this normal? He used to be 3X as fast...can I fix this if it's a bug?

BG2 is my first time with D&D, but I was wondering why they can't just list the damage that your character does? I'm using a lvl 11 monk right now but I also have a short sword +2 that is 0 speed factor. So with my fists I strike 5/2 a round while with the short sword I do 7/2. Based on speed alone ...

Does party size affect the number of enemies you face? If I tell the Blade/Bard and Jaheira to leave my party will I be able to get them back later in the game? Right now I have a 6 person party but I want to dump Jaheira and the Bard so I can travel with 4...this way I level up faster right?

Hey thanks. I'm actually playing and checking back here every so often. I just finished another quest. I really wanted to keep my party around 4 ppl...but I *had* to keep Yoshimiro around to detect traps and such...and now I have Haers D' (the Blade :P ) because I had to see what he could do. Seems ...

Hey again. Anyways, instead of the aforementioned archer I ended up going with a monk. He's lvl 9 now but I'm a bit confused by his attributes. In the description it says his fists do 1-12 damage at level 9 and that they become +1 weapons. What does the +1 part mean? Also I just found this short ...

Thanks...just one thing, what is "powergaming"? If I'm not yet playing Thrones of Bhaal (After all, I've only made it to chapter3 in Shadows) then Xbows are still a good choice? I was looking in the manual and basically the xbow bolts do 2 more damage (1-10 vs 1-8) than a long bow. As long as there ...

I'm having a tough time sticking with one character for this game. Got to chapter 2 with a mage...then recently got to chapter 3 with a Kensai...but now I'm bored again and want to start a new archer. After reading the threads here it seems like there is absolutely no reason to specialize in ...
