alexjh I really like what you had to say on both your posts . You have put your finger on why I love Keldorn so much - he is trying to do the best he can but the older he gets the less clear cut everything gets.

And thats the heart of the matter. To make the rules simple enough to be workable ...

The rational that some have put forward about obeying his god and not local laws is undermined by Keldorn too. Could anyone consider it even remotely plausible that a person claiming to be good could contemplate bringing about the murder of his wife for adultery?

I was just clarifying the ...

Very, very true QuenGalad! You better believe that a paladin has a very real and material bond with both their god, and their order. If they do something thats either very evil, or way out of line with the code of living set down by their deity they stop being paladins. This isn't some kind of ...

I have also noticed that there is a bug that makes things simply vanish form your inventory, or even your quick slots. I've had no warning - they just disappear when you move from one area to another. I've only noticed this since I started using multiple mods.
I've been told that using ShadowKeeper ...

There should be a pdf manual in your main Black Isle/BGII - SoA directory. On page 237 of this manual you will find the table you need.
If you don't have the manual (? maybe you need a ToB install ?) then give us a yell and I'll copy the table for you :)

I have no idea why this works but sometimes when I've installed a load of mods my CLUA doesn't work until I write both Cheats=1 and Debug Mode=1 in the file. Also in my current install it's not called an ini file, its called Configuration Settings.

To be honest I've always (and by that I mean for over 20 years) considered Lawful Good to be the wrong alignment for Paladins, in my opinion they should be Neutral Good, nothing other than being good matters, law and personal liberty should just be distractions to them I think.

I confess to having a real soft spot for Kheldorn. He's a tired and battered man struggling to follow the tenets of the order he is sworn to, and finding the older he gets the less clear cut and black and white the world seems.

There are couple of very important point to bear in mind when looking ...

Insect plague is also really great for fighting Faldorn. If you cast haste before starting the challenge you can fire the insects off before she casts her first spell, and this disrupts her spell casting.

Kiwidoc,

I don't know if any of the mods you use will alter this but "True Sight" should drop any illusion spells. Until you can cast 6th level spells though, it makes having Keldorn handy to have around. When you say "Sanctuary", do you mean the 1st level Clerical Spell? Or, are you referring to ...
