Well I ignored it for a while and carried on playing with my party for a bit. As soon as they went up to level 2 all their saving throws adjusted to what I thought they should be! - weird.
Seems like you just don't get them at level one?!

Ok I've got quite a few things up in the air right now, but this is what I'm thinking.

The characters I am mostly sure I want are the following:

Cheers,
Atleast I know it's just not me now!
Is the same thing true of your characters saving throws?
It's just that normally I put my wisdom up because of the saving throw bonus to Will saves - but if I'm not going to get it anyway I'll not bother and put the points into something else.

Pure sorcerer it is then I think, though I have the high dexterity for the missile attack bonus more than the armour class bonus. Coz lets face it, most of the time she'll be shooting not lobbing missiles - save them for the tough fights when I need them.

Like I said I didn't realise about divine ...

Well it seems lots of people have read this but no-one has replied! Even a reply saying "sorry don't know either" would help convince me I'm not just being stupid - anyone? please!?

Will someone please please explain to me how saving throws for your characters are worked out because for the life of me I can't figure it out!

Here's a few examples.

My Lv1 Sorceress S6 D18 C14 I10 W12 Ch20
Fortitude +0
Reflex +0
Will +2

Shouldn't this be
Fortitude +2 (because of the +2 bonus ...

Thanks Kov-Ivan,
Probably not a good idea to multiclass into a paladin then, atleast not until I've got a bit into it and got some money together, maybe later on.

Did not realise that no! Just thought it was used for dialogue and turn undead! Re-reading the manual has helped but how does the armour ...

Ok well here's my idea for a party, suggestions and improvements needed!

Leader
Sorceress (Aasimar) S8, D18, C14, I8, W12, Ch20
Should I give her a single level in something (not paladin as then I won't get money for the quests)

Tank 1
Fighter Lv4 Paladin LvX (Aasimar) S18 D12 C18 I6 W16 Ch8 ...

Thankyou kindly,
I shall start downloading tomorrow!

I was reading through my manual when on page 29/30 I see a History of Icewind dale where it tells me that I seem to have completely missed an expansion pack called Trials of the Luremaster?! When was this out?! Have I been comatosed for the last year or something? Has anyone played it? I'm assuming ...

Ok what am I doing wrong? Have I just got tcompletely the wrong end of the stick?
I started a game but was running into problems because my parties wisdom was too low and I was getting charmed left right and centre, I hadn't gone too far so I've decided to start again (there were other reasons too ...

Ok I'm new to the whole D&D thing and never played PnP before. Is there someone/somewhere who can explain the combat system. eg. Sneak attacks - do you just have to approach from behind?, being caught Flatfooted, Flanking, can you direct attacks to the head/arms/legs etc? Some of the Power attacks ...

No, I'm only on the net at work not at home.

can anyone think of any other reason why the wine press wouldn't work??

As I had already said in my first post, I've already switched the engine on. Does that mean there is a bug in my game???

In Durlags tower I'm stuck in the room where there are four wardens which ask you riddles. I've made the mallet, hit the gong, started up the engine but when I go to the wine press it still says that the "wine press is in working order but doesn't have any power", am I missing something?

just realised that doesn't read too well. I meant a multiclassed mage with either a fighter or a theif or a cleric. ok k

I've just started BG1 with a theif/mage multiclass ( to get all the tomes ), the plan is to solo him as soon as he gets to BG2 possibly ToSC if I feel I can do it. I think either a multiclass mage fighter/theif mabye cleric for the awesomw spell trigger and bolt of glory combo. Or start out as a ...

transcendent two, not entirely true, I gave sarevok nothing and compared him to my other characters with nothing. Seemed fair and the things he beat them on namely strength I had items to increase str beyond both characters. I already have my PC cavalier wielding Carsomyr +6 so no luck there and ...

I think JAKER has hit the nail on the noggin, I'll have to make sure I do WK after finishing BG2 this time round then, btw any suggestions as to who to take with my evil party I'm a mage/theif multiclass, Edwin, Viccy, Korgan, Sarevok + ??Jaheira??
