There is an interesting bug with chromatic orb (that is corrected in the Baldurdash patches, though not the official Bioware patch).

The damage of a chromatic orb can be resisted by magic resistance, however the secondary effect (slay living) will BYPASS magic resistance.

This means that you dont ...

The confusion here seems to stem from what the difference between Magic Resistance and Magic Damage Resistance is.

Magic Resistance is a probability. It represents the chance a character has to completely "avoid" or "block out" the effects of a spell. A magic resistance of 10% means that there is a ...

Belts of strength (Hill Giant, Frost Giant, etc) give you massive THAC0 and ...

Here's my problem -- melee is way too powerful! Even pseudo-melee characters, like Blades and Swashbucklers, can absolutely dominate this game with the right equipment. I just got done with the Underdark, and my Swashbuckler single-handedly did every single quest & sidequest in the whole chapter. No ...
