strength and/or dexterity can be ignored during creation because there are items boosting it. The stat budget to roll 5 stats is 18*5+3dump=93, which is possible to roll with some classes like multiclass ranger/cleric. Then you can have a char with

With GWW everyone has 10 attacks, so the grandmastery cheat even becomes obsolete. There is no way Sarevok can compare to Keldorn. Unless ofc you install mods which specifically help him out.

Consider this. BG2 is manageable completely without spells. IWD2 without spells your doomed. IWD2 spells help much more.

Speed is quite cool for a hit&run backstab character allowing for all 3 actions to be performed sooner. Granted most staves already have low speed, but the basic Carsomyr has 5 speed and that could be the difference between him dispelling and disrupting or the mage getting that Hold Person spell off ...

The difference between a dagger and a shortsword is 1 damage. With increased quality weapon type matters less and less so even a plain dagger will do. Daggerwise in SoA there is the firetooth dagger. Its so powerful that some mods nerf it. Firetooth is a +3 weapon( enough for pretty much everything ...

Would use BGT instead of Easytutu, less buggy, and separate installs for both 1 and 2 but i have no idea how it would work out with the other mods you have.

Check [url='http://www.spellholdstudios.net/ie/1pp']this[/url] out, found it quite nice without causing problems or lore breaking.

Assuming by "BG" you mean BG2 engine with bg1 content modded in, there are zero problems. BG1 doesnt work very well.

Im sorry but what is the question, didnt you just named the weapons? xD I would use flails on that guy, because jans armor+DoE+hardiness all stack, and he'll need the defence w/o access to magic.

These weapons arent competing against each other. The Flail is a primary weapon. The Axe is a off-hand weapon. Use appropriately.


The Flail has powerful on-hit effects like protection penetrating damage and slow, using it in an offhand is pointless. The Axe has static effects, HP and ...

Tripleclasses get most, including mage's HLA with g3fixpack installed. But anyways my post was directed at games with xp cap removed. Ironically with the cap tripleclasses get a bit more versatile, as they dont need huge amounts of xp anymore, due to capping, so dont need to be solo, so as long as ...

The usefulness of fmt depends on how large the party is and whether the XP-cap is removed( yes the 8mio cap) cause the fmt needs more than that to get all his abilities, whether or not they are needed if ofc another question. its pretty meh in a full party. Its okay duo. And solo enemies commit ...

Tobex has an option to give every class 4 weapon slots in inventory screen. Having more weapon quickslots however is, i heard, impossible because the interface is hardcoded. Or wait 3 days for BG:ee, where it is moddable.

This is nothing. In Fallout2 children were stealing stuff, except in low-gore versions of the game children were removed by making them invisible, but still were stealing.

my guess is, there was too much shadowediting applied to that savegame.

The easy way it to that is to play another character ( hopefully you have a savegame nearby) than copypaste the corresponding affects (there are multiple) between savegames in Shadowkeeper. Look for Ressource 3 for names. Its easy to identify. They arent really easy to create, but easy to copy.
