@Xyx... True it does sharpen some abilities other than the PC listed abilities. I'm not an ADnD or BG expert by any stretch, but how would you classify enhanced hearing, 'far-seeing', and invisibility. I would submit that these enhancements are artificial in the sense that the ring is ultimately ...

yes it helps , thank you to all. Has anyone tried giving themselves a "cheat" missle wand to see if you can sell and rebuy and have 10 charges on it. My experience is that it comes in with one charge, and when I tried the sell-buybback trick it still only had one charge. Maybe I didn't give enough ...

help, I've read through many pages but I can't seem to find it.

Someone had a real nice thread on their ideal spells (mage and clerics wrote in alike) and why/how they used them. Usually were listed by level and some people even ranked their spells, siting must have's etc.

Anyone see this or care ...

a way out of the Gandalf vs. Saruman debate would be to attach their relative powers to a magical item instead of level or XP. How about a magic cloak :o ;) . Call them Istari Cloak of White, Cloak of Grey, Istari Cloak of Brown. Can only be worn by Mages.

Hence, Saruman the White before his ...

first timer to bg1 (to any rpg) and enjoying v. much. just exited Nashkel mines.

Is there anyway to tell how many charges an item has. Ideally it would say #of charges left. Is there a webpage available that lists magic items and typical # of charges?

I was bummed when Imoen's magic missle wand ...

When a magic item is unidentified and you still are able to wield it (or wear it), ie. Long Sword +3 in the case of a weapon, do you still gain the bonuses or only as long as it is identified?

I also noticed that once ...

no way. as much as i enjoyed LotR, the academy types wont break genre.

@skuld: ewok village...funny. I couldn't put a name to it, but i remember having the thought 'this looks vaguely familiar..'. Its probably sacrilege to mention but I was never a big Tom Bombadil fan. So i certainly didn't miss it. I always felt Tom was out of place in middle earth. Soemthing about ...

@EMINEM - DVD here I come. Interesting? As in you found it amusing?, insulting?, on the mark?, utter foolishness? I had hoped for more from you. Your reputation in these halls preceed you Master EMINEM. But I am glad it held your attention, and thankful for your support.

@Xadax - is there any ...

Of course I am talking about the old animated version. But since you’re here…..

Well, I saw the movie a second time and I still say WOW, magnificent effort. Loved all 3 hrs of it. Way back, when I had heard they were going to make the movie I was scared. I thought if they don’t do this epic trilogy ...

thanks illumen and curdis for the quick responses.. good info.

yes, thank you for the quick responses. Fnord- good info and it tied everytihing together for me.

not trying to beat the d.horse but
I should have worded my Q#1 as 'if I dual my fighter into a mage at the optimum level (which 99% say level 9) then which game would i naturally (with XP cap on and ...

But I’m a big lotr fan and the recent movie has rekindled an old love… so I checked the game reviews and ...
