Typically it will put the fully constructed mask in your PC inventory as well. If you actually got the mask parts and you think it's a bug, just use the console to give it to yourself. Its item code is key20

you could just use the console to go to the start of level 5. AR3019. Once there, there should be a portal to the outside of WK, if you want to exit (if you're not in TOB and dont have the pocket plane).

Kensai->Mage is popular and powerful, but is a little over-hyped. My thoughts have always been that the Berserker benefits outweigh the Kensai benefits in the HARD fights (i.e. where it really matters). The berserker rage has always been far more helpful during difficult fights than the Kensai's ...

Rangers and Fighters dual-ed to Clerics are strong characters, including Berserker -> Cleric.

Doing a better Imoen or Nalia (thief -> Mage) gives you all the thieving you need (i.e. not much) without wasting half a multiclass, plus when your Mage runs out of spells or would rather not use them ...

most of these types of ease-of-use/tweak-pack mods recommend starting a new game. If you don't, YMMV in terms of what it does for a game in-progress.

pretty much any armor that says anything other than a generic name like "Leather Armor" or "Plate Armor" is going to have the magical flag set. Exception would be the Anhkeg Plate mail.

there's an option as part of the BG2 Tweaks where you can either:
1. don multiple protection items, but only one ...

iIf you're playing in a party, there are far better (more powerful) things to do with a FMT than shoot arrows. Use your Mirror Image/Stoneskin/Ghost or Spirit Armor/PfMW or PFNW (early on) and dual-wield. There's really only 1 good katana in the vanilla game and you definitely don't need it. Not ...

What i do is this:
Changing a F/M/T to Bounty Hunter

For a F/M/BH I could just add the Set Special Snare, change the Memorization so i can use it 3/4/whatever times a day.

The only thing is I don't like playing as haxxed characters much.

your probably best just using the Innate/level tabs in ...

hmm..I know there's a BG2 tweak parameter to enable you to look like robes when you wear robes.

One thing you could do for your Kensai is modify whatever set of armor you want your kensai to look like he's wearing (using NearInfinity or IEEP) to have no armor class adjustment and no disabiling ...

You can try using shadowkeeper to change your F/M/T into a fighter/mage/bounty hunhter multiclass. The game engine allows one kit per character.

Note that if you want to do that, all that setting shadowkeeper will do is set your class to bounty hunter and you'll only gain new abilities as you ...

Typically you get YMMV type results when you apply the patch mid-game like that. As a test, I'd try starting a new game with the same character, level him up with the console to the exact level and trap laying skill points he has now and see what happens when you lay a trap.

Sure, but like he said below, doesn't really ...

not having the exceptional strength is a big minus if you're using a sling since slings add strength damage (don't halflings have a max strength less than 18)

well all thieves have the 3 trap HLAs, but only bounty hunters have the "throw-able" special traps. By TOB, these will maze your opponents and you can use them very tactically. I'd recommend hunting down Chris Lee's Thief Guide and reading that if you're not familiar with it. Here's a snippet from ...

I second the fact that for melee-based attacks, the Staff of the Ram usually hinders me more than helps.

If you're dual wielding, you can have the enhanced SSoB in your offhand and get the extra +1 backstab multiplier on your main hand (it's a game engine bug, same thing as equipping equalizer in ...

Usually that means you've got it set to a protocol that doesn't make sense. MP will ask you to set the protocol to IP, IPX, serial, etc. Try changing that around and see if that helps the create button appear.
