What? Artemis Entreri is in BG2?
Is he in TOB or sumthin'?

No, he isn't in the the game itself, as Astafas said you need to use the CLUA Console to "summon" him.

The command for this is:

CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("ARTEMIS")

The description of his dagger:

This dagger weighs heavily in your hand, and is warm to the touch. Merely having it on your person makes you feel uneasy for some reason. The gem mounted in the hilt seems to have an inner light of some sort, though how it can have such illuminations and still be so deathly black at its core, you do not know.

Damage: 1D4 +4
THACO: +4 bonus
Effect: 15% Chance of Level Drain
Damage type: piercing
Weight: 1
Speed Factor: 0
Proficiency Type: Dagger
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 3 Strength
Not Usable By:
Cleric

Assassins in all honor, but imagine a Blade on Tenser's, with Offensive Spin activated, Blackrazor in one hand and Entreri's dagger in the other. Level drain, level drain, level drain... death.

Now these are the replies I wanted!! I about had an orgasm over this Scarlet Ninja-To, but it seems monks can only use it goddamn it!!! Leeho a lot of the weapons you mentioned sound great, but they are ToB only and I don't have it yet. Might have to give this Kundane a try. This Artemis Entreri sounds great also. Is the guy you have to summon to get it hard to fight? I hope so because I don't want to ****y out and get it with SK. Why can you not fight him in the game?

On more question, how do you enable Cluaconsole? Don't you have to edit baldur.ini then press ctrl-tab or something in the game?

Under the heading [Program Options] add this line: Debug Mode=1, and it must be Debug Mode=1, not debug mode=1.
When you are in the game, press CTRL-SPACE to bring up the Console. This is where you will enter all the commands.

As for Entreri, he wasn't that impressive, but than he was alone and so didn't last very long against my party of six.

In the books, Entreri is supposed to be as good as Drizzt. However, he gets older as all humans while Drizzt is an elf... Despite this, Entreri rests my favorite villain.

My question is why is he not in the game unless you summon him.

Probably the same answer as always: lack of time for the developers. You can't just throw such a famous person in without a story behind.
