Yeah, it was fun have 4 random encounters the same night. The point of random is kind of lost if you can predict that every time you are outside at night you are going to be attacked. But it was fun none the less. Using all your skills (and spells) on such "trivial" non-boss fights.

Now, a Good Character, especially a Lawfull Good should by all rights immediately hand it back.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Why would a Lawful Good character give a powerful weapon to a decidedly evil character (Think Paladin)? Being Lawful Good, I would not only 'not' give him the ...

Jaheira!
1 Cleric is quite sufficient esp Vici. Your big brother is a much better tank than Jaheira.
Need Imoen and Jan for spell power (Jan also for traps). Bard song is great for a party.

Female dwarves have beards, and so do some female gnomes. (In traditional lore, I think it depends on where they come from). It's part of their allure. Korgan, for example, doesn't think a woman looks right unless she has one. (Or am I thinking of Gimli from Lord of the Rings ?)

If you have Item Upgrade mod, Keldorn's Hallowed Redeemer can also be upgraded to a +5 weapon with the Demons Heart. I havent seen any use for it otherwise in the original game..

I tried it briefly with a Fighter/Mage/Cleric. I played until I received 6th level spells for the cleric, but the one thing that caught my attention was that the Chaotic Commands was replaced by Impregnable Mind. Although it seems to be quite similar, the duration of the spell is far lesser than ...

Improved Mae'Var Armor

I am trying to decide on the armor I want to give to my Berserker-thief. Does improved Maevar still drop the original shadow armor or is it different?
Thanks

Crenshinibon is right with regard to the weapons as well as the ability to put more than 2 stars for a multiclass (you definitely have to be running the mod that allows you to do so).
If you have Item Upgrade mod, I would strongly suggest Celestial fury + 5 in addition to FOA and Crom Feyr...

Celestial Fury is my favorite weapon in the game and now that I have Item Upgrade Mod I wanted to get the weapon at the earliest and upgrade it.

adding to Silvanerian's note- you dont get skill points for weapon specialization after every level (for example, fighter types get one point to increase their weapon skill every 3 levels)
