I believe to be able to dual-class into a druid one must have 15 charisma and 15 wisdom and be true neutral in alignment.

Spoiler: Highlight to read.

The Helm of opposite alignment can be found in Durlag's Tower on the Demon Knight when he first spawns to fireball the visitors to death.

I always liked the dagger of the Star since it would allow my backstabbing thieves to go invisible for free and get another hit in. It doesn't do as much damage as a longsword would, but it is certainly respectable enough.

Haste the party, summon a few critters, use ...

Extra stuff like....
- good NPC interaction, something which will be expanded in the BG1 Banterpack though
- romances, romance music was very good in tone with the mood
- forgeing a few items

BG1
- better shield display. they all look alike in BG2
- weapon proficiencies are handled a lot better by ...

I don't seem to remember that weight was implemented for dual-wielding in BG2. Isn't that an IWD2 or NWN thing?
I think the only way to get the bonuses to level out is by using Montolio's cloak and having 3 stars in 2-weapon fighting.
Could be my memory though.

Nature's Beauty, Insect Plague and Ironskins are probably the best spells. Some even call them utter cheese. Personally I prefer either an avenger or a totemic druid. The summoning skills from the beastmaster are in my opinion not very impressive.

or just kill a commoner somewhere in a very remote area and then buy back some reputation in a church

Yes, when in beserk mode I wouldn't be able to do these thihngs, but if I scout ahead to locate enemies and then use one of the tactics beforehand, thus before I go beserk... kind of like prebuffing... in theory some of these should work right.

I'm still only in chapter 3 so it is not a pressing ...

no one knows?

Ahh... I see, so I wonder how many people have a "normal" copy of BG on their comp now, I would expect most have edited all sorts of thigns in theirs and installed many packs and such... just wondering I'm one with a normal copy, but once the NPC banter pack comes out ...

I come across a single arrow of detonation every now and then when I pickpocket amnish soldiers. They also have nice scrolls sometimes.

You can also summon a few monsters to attract the arrows first and then send your mage in with the wanted spells. Skull Trap, fireball, maybe even lightning bolt work nicely. You can also use a cleric and cast a ward.

Or as suggested, equip your front man with all the AC vs missiles you have and ...

Neither.
You shouldn't see it as an enchantment but as a bonus, the kind you get from other items like gloves of skill and such. So it is a +5 THAC0 bonus, but unenchanted.

It is the enchantment of the ammunition counts when it comes to which creature you can hit.

The exception is for those ...

Then here is a question that keeps me puzzled for a while now.

Armor gives a has a general AC bonus and some minor changes to piercing, slashing and blunt (changes which make studded leather on average equal to chain mail).
Shields have a general AC bonus plus additionally some modifications versus ...

Exactly the reason why I use resurrection spells a lot or go to a temple for that matter. I prefer resurrection to sleeping... reincarnation has its "thing".

I expect this would also hold for the effect of the dream sequences.

Personally I don't think it would make sense storywise. It would be a big deja vu for the character, Gorion dying twice, killing all those bosses. Unraveling the same old plots and quests....
then again, every time you reload a ...

Korgan is an Evil person so he doesn't like Heroic reputations. When you have evil characters in your party you'd best try to keep it below about 15 and they will be fine. Sure they will grumble every now and then but since you're not "too" good they will stay for a little while.
To keep him, get ...

Spoilerish below.

Reputation often has nothing to do with waylaid scenarios. Waylaid scenarios are triggered from other things.
- One of the triggers is that you get waylaid when you have beaten the slavers in the Slums district (Hendak's Copper Coronet Quest). I believe this slavers quest has a ...

what you can do is drink those purple potions that raise intelligence for a short period of time. You can then learn all the spells you want and once your intelligence drops back to the original value, you still have all the spells in your book.
They are for sale mostly in temples.
