I just remembered another favorite crazy rule in AD&D, or at least BG's version of it.

Am I crazy, or is it easier to resurrect a character FROM THE DEAD than heal your figher from 1 hp back to 120?

As I recall there is no good "heal to max HP" spell at a reasonable ...

I don't want spell casters to cast any/every spell they want all the time, but what about a spell point system where a 10th level mage gets 25 points to cast any spell he has learned: 25 magic missles. Or 12.5 webs (2nd level). Or 8.3 fireballs (3rd level).


A very nice ...

Hiya

I saw this Wild Mage mentioned in the BG2: Throne of Bhaal ad.

Does any of you AD&D-knowing people care to enlighten me?

Wild mages are one of those "weird" classes that most DMs (IMHO) don't necessarily like to introduce in their campaign as a playable class ...

I had a similar problem in different inns. It won't let me rest, but if I start selecting different rooms (i.e. switch from noble to merchant, and then back to noble), the innkeeper will all of a sudden let me rest.

If nothing else, you can't beat a game that has a wise-cracking, floating skull as a party member.

Well, drow are ennemies to most other races; I'm not sure why this should influence the romance. This said, Viconia will only have romances with humans and half-elves, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, but the drow and surface elf hatred goes way beyond that. It's mainly ...

The problem is that you are a high elf, and she is a drow. High elves and drow are bitter enemies.

hey, weasel, what happened to your quote?
anyway, im looking for another fight; i have too many spellcasters. only me and minsc can fight,all the others have too few HP or are just too weak(aerie)


IMHO, I think you should dump Nalia. Imoen and Aerie are more ...

Play Torment. I enjoyed it much better than IWD (in fact, I got so bored with IWD that I never finished it). The setting is exotic. The NPC's are "unique". And you really don't know what is going on till about halfway through the game.

In addition, your character is unique in that his alignment is ...

Black razor is a evil artifact that cames from "return to white plume mountain" (if I am not wrong, its more powerful but you would became the artifact tool, not the opposite.

Not sure which module it came in. I read about it in the Complete Magical Items ...

Could easily be countered by forcing spell checks with the Blackrazor.

Nah. Blackrazor is designed to promote mass murder in a gaming world. You could get around saving throws by killing as many peasants as possible.

Anyone else notice that Blackrazor is very underpowered in this game? Too bad they didn't implement Blackrazor the way it's written up.

Then again, if they did, the game would be no challenge at all on any kind of difficulty level.

Import a character with Black Razor into a multiplayer game and then go through the entire game.
Now THAT is a weapon http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif

I used ShadowKeeper to give my evil guy Blackrazor at the beginning of the game. I ...

Maybe they do it for PR reasons. I can imagine the flak they'd get from parenting groups (just for the record, I'm a responsible father of a 3-yr-old girl and 6-mo-old boy) if word got out about a game where you play the child of an evil god and were ...

Now I must disagree with these comments on "you will never replace PnP" because of course you will. A DM is a human, relying on a human brain. What most people seem to forget is that the humanh brain is a machine, it has its limitations.

Of course, brains are well ...

Surely the main thing to note is that BG2 is a step forward? BG 1 showed the first ideas, BG2 has taken it even further forward. If there is to be a BG3 I think we can expect even more depth as the programming team get better and better at this.

NPC interactions are ...

Most of us have finished at least half of BGII. (right?) So how does it compare to real-life RPGing? Any ideas?

My opinion is that BGII absolutely nails the AD&D ruleset far better than a real-life human would/could. What DM actually looks at weapon speed? Calculates the ...

Is that all? I though he tripped and fell on your sword several times.
