I have been trying to use the spell Lance of Disruption but it isn't working the way I would hope. The spell is great for punching into a whole bunch of enemies but my 7th level Invoker ALSO takes damage from the spell. Has this happened to anyone else in ID 1? I don't have this problem in ID 2 ...

Extra HPs?

It took about 10 attempts but I finally killed this bugger. Iselore didn't even acknowledge my accomplishment but the portal is definitely closed. After I defeated him, all of my characters had higher max HP limits. Has this happened to anyone else? I reloaded a save from right before ...

Hey Everybody,

I'm getting ready to go through IWDII a 2nd time. I've never used a Bard but want to give it a try since there were some pretty good Bard items in the game. My only reservation is with thieving skills. I usually get my thief up to about 7-9th level and then change her class to an ...

Spoiler request: what is the grand prize for...

What is the grand prize for completing all levels of the Battle Squares mini-game? I want to know if it's worth it for me to go back. If you can remember any other notable prizes, that would be helpful. Thank you.

Adroit is anything but...

...but what do you expect from some pizza-faced teenager loser who gets that upset about a video game? Step away from the PC and get a life.

Hi Everybody,

I just want to know whether or not I can return to Taris after I become a Jedi. I am going to try to stay at level 2 until I become a Jedi. I want to be able to become the Duel Ring Champion but doubt I could do it as a level 2 character. Can I return to Taris later and fight my way ...

I thought only mages with INT of 18 or more had unlimited spellbooks. Mages with less had limits as to how many spells could be written into their spellbooks. That's why in BG so many people wanted Edwin in their party. He was the only 18 INT NPC in the entire series.

Just a couple of quick questions regarding 3rd Edition:

1.) If I have a Ranger in my party, does it make sense to give him feats in Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting? My hunch is that he does get a benefit. Can anyone confirm that?

2.) What are the max number of spells a wizard can learn per ...

Thanks KidD01, I didn't know there was a DK2. I actually went to the site before but didn't see it somehow.


KeeB, your question doesn't make sense. Clerics have their spells given to them divinely from their God. Clerics don't add or remove spells ever. Only mages do.

Hi all,

I would like to easily add spells to my mages spell books. Is there any sort of editor like the "Keeper" series that allows me to do this?

Or, does anyone know what the cheat codes are so I can just "create" the scrolls I need so my mages can then write them into their spell books? I have ...

Does anybody know a way to modify ID2 so that you can play in the 600x400 (estimated) resolution? My PC is ancient and I was able to play BG, BG2, TOB, and ID in that lower resolution. It was still pretty fun, believe it or not. It's just that what I saw on my screen was basically only what I could ...

Does anyone know of a website that shows all of the ToB endings? Specifically, I remember seeing a site that had the biographical text of what happens to all of the NPC's after the end of the game. I can't find that site. Can you direct me to that site? I just want to know what the story says about ...

Most experienced players may already know this but I wanted to post it so that others might use this strategy as well...

I use Imoen as my assassin. After Spellhold, I took out the Twisted Rune gang and gave her the Staff of the Magi. I also gave her a Wand of Cloud Kill and a Cloak of Non ...

Everyone is entitled to enjoy the game however they want. But that strategy is a bit cheesy. Why not get Shadow Keeper and get 6 rings?!

Just my opinion. I'm an old P&P guy and play by the rules.

The most user friendly way of editing your games (including putting things in your inventory) is to use Shadow Keeper. The program is top notch quality and very intuitive.

You can definitely do the outstanding quests you have from Chapt 2 now.

In the saves directory, you will see that each of your saved games has its on directory. Just save the particular directory you want and you can uninstall and reinstall all you want. Just remember to copy the directory back to the same place when you reinstall.

Obsidian is right. I (Cavalier) attacked him with the Flail of Ages in the doorway until I was near death and then healed up and pounded him again and again this way 'til he dropped. Good thing the Golem can't heal himself.

As far as Firkraag, there are many threads on how to take him down. Check ...

What are you waiting for? Get BG and play that, TotSC, BG2, and ToB, now! You can play all the games AND play NWN. NWN is going to use 3rd edition rules and it is mostly a solo player game or online with a group...you are only responsible for the actions of your own character. The BG series uses ...

It took me about 5 tries but I was finally able to kill all four of the "midgets" in the Marching Mountains before any escaped. I reviewed my text screen to make sure there were only four: Chinchilla, Took the Brave, Merlinious, and Tibbit. I had to kill Chinchilla twice because he reforms as a ...

I am in the first chapter of Tob and realized I only use a handful of spells. I recently started experimenting with other spells since my party is so high level. In the interest of making gaming more interesting, I would like to know what spells all of you use most often in battle.

There are ...
