For Anomen it means major difference, if he succeds or fails. For your character, I think it does not matter.

Only Fixpack and Tweakpack.
When I scouted that area with mage eye, I counted mage, ranger with 5 Umber Hulks and 1 Minotaur, and further away Wywern. On the way to them was some pulsing-thing, that would suck one of my partymember into some cavern with 4 warriors, knight and someone called Gish-all ...

No, he did not use Spell Shield.
Anyway, he and his goons are down thanks to Chaotic Commands, Haste, and also DLTCEP. I don't know how could I miss 7 fighters, 3 umber hulks, mage and wywern with "yet another pretty common fight". It took all my strenght for BG2 for this evening, anyway.

Looks like enemy mages are cheating bastards - he casted contingency minor spell turning, two protections, stoneskin and shadow door, I countered invisibility by true seeing, casted pierce magic, and his spellreflect remained. Rest of the fight was pretty easy (for him), my party was sleeped (since ...

I got a notion that enemy mages are "anything capable, extremely dangerous opponents, that should be immediately insect swarmed, breached, dispelled and focus-fired with extreme prejudice." So, when I got all available tools at my disposition, I simply used to overkill any mage that I came across ...

- You hit a nail on a head - I installed tweak after I got bag. Is there a way how to fix it, other than using multible bags with different instances (from what I've learned, bag04 and bag31 are regular ones, other serve for import to ToB and are full of items)?

- I especially hate situation when I ...

- I think I've already completed "big chunk" of the game, but my characters are still very far from XP cap in SoA (currently L11-12). Does this mean that I still have even bigger part of game before me, or that 3 mil. XP cap is unobtainable, if you play with full party?
- Is it just me, or Robe of ...

- I tried to erase spells from my casters by Shadowkeeper, but everytime I do this, their spells will "magically" reappear. Is there a way how to get rid of them (doom, cause wounds, deafness and more useless ones) permanently? I never use them, and they just occupy place in my spellbook.
- How high ...

He has -3 armor, and still got hit for 17-20 dmg. I think I was simply too low lvl.
Thanks for spell reference, I used manual and http://www.forgottenwars.com/oogi/index.htm
Both sometimes contradicts each other, but I will make something useful from them.

I know about fire/acid agains Trolls, but when Torgal attacked my tank for 15% health each round, my party simply did not have enough heals to keep him up. I had to peel him from adds, and even then it was nasty fight.

I went through manual and written all AoE spell that don't cause friendly fire ...

There were replies deleted after forum upgrade. Just consider questions in my first post answered. New ones:

- I noticed that mobs really like ganging up on Yoshimo, who takes tough beating in almost every fight (I should get him plate :) ). Is there some hidden threat&aggro system, or just bad ...

A couple of beginner questions

Hello. I've just started playing BG2, and I have few questions:

1) I've read that big party is not always advantage, and in first two rooms I already saw few examples of "artificial stupidity". I can imagine that full party is more dependant on management, but it should have more firepower. 5 or ...
