Have you ever known that to work, I haven't.

I have had the luck, on occasion, to insta-kill one of the liches guarding Kangaxx's remains.
I'm also 99% sure that I "insta-misted" a vampire or two with it. Don't remember if I got the XP from them, though. Might have been in Bodhi's lair, so they ...

Jedi Consular is very strong in the force and has balanced abilities.
Jedi Sentinel is best for close up combat with Lightsaber/sword.
Jedi Guardian is the simplest Jedi, using weaker force powers and using slightly stronger Lightsaber powers than the Consular.
My opinion: Scout lvl 7/ Consular lvl ...

Is it possible that one of the mods has fixed the 'glitch' that allows a weapons effect to work on a target even if the weapon can't hit it?

In vanilla for example fire from flame blades, fire arrows or dispelling from arrows will affect the target even if they have stoneskin on.

In all ...

Hello,

1) The main reason to dual at lvl 13 is for the extra 1/2 attack. If you feel that is worth the delay to your "recovery" of your fighter levels, go ahead. Personally I'd just dual at lvl 9 for the HP and call it a day.

2) Katanas have the 2 quite large problems: they are rare, so there's ...

I always avoided turning pages to keep the book

I think you're thinking of the wrong book.
From what you've said, I take it you're thinking of the Book of Infinite Spells, the inventory item that lets you cast a spell once per day from your quickslot.

You could try to move the folders in your save directory out one at a time until you can get to the load dialogue, then move them back except for the one right before you could access the dialogue again.
Hopefully the saves that work for you are close to where you were before the crash.

I'd say that whole "leather over the face" thing was probably a result of his...experiments...into getting back his immortality.

The alignment change you've experienced isn't a permanent one. There is a global variable, probably the one you noticed, that causes the alignment to read as "Neutral Evil". It was set when you took the "evil" way on one of the Tear of Bhaal quests. Try removing that variable and see what happens ...

That is one of the possible rewards from the wizard stronghold quests, if you didn't already know. That should explain why it has your name on it.

You need 9 INT minimum to use scrolls.
Not sure about the WIS for paladins. I seem to remember rangers not getting any bonus spells(see Minsc, Valygar) but that might be due to their scores not being high enough.

The things you try to backstab may have resistance to the damage type you're using. Like, for example, a Mustard Jelly has 30% damage resistance to crushing attacks.
You could check the monster resistances with the Shadow Keeper to make sure this is the case.
