Misc. Questions.

Post by Laniyen »

Where is the robe of the neutral archmage?

do the bonuses you get in the end stay with you when you export?

Is a lower or higher saving throw better?

and how come after i told aerie i wasn't interested in her, jaheria's plot still hasn't come out, and the game is over?

I was just wondering about the end bonuses myself. I'm afraid the only question I know the answer to is the saving throws. The number given is the minimum number required on 1d20 to make the saving throw. So a save of 5 means you would need to roll a 5 or more on a 20 sided die to pass. Lower is better.
As for the romance, why would you want Jaheira over Aerie? I'm surprised you've got them both in your party, either one is plenty priest enough. Personally I chose Aerie as she can cast wizard spells, whereas other than healing Jaheira is useless. Plus, Jaheira's a neutral bitch. (Basically I dumped her early so I don't know how the romance works Image)

I had both Viconia and Jaheira in my party, and in the beginning they 'fought' over me ... until I told Jaheira to back off, and that I could take care of myself. A strange thing, though, at day 1, 11 hours in the game (yes, I just emerged from Irenicus' dungeon), I could already buy the locket! I told the merchant he was blind ...

I never found the Robe of the Neutral Arch Magi. Do you have a neutral Mage, perhaps? Image

The boni at the end stay when you import the character into the game again (although they don't show during the character creation process, they ARE there). Not sure what happens when you import it into NWN or whatever ...

The bonuses stay if you export mid fight. Might work otherwise but in a previous conversation someone opined that it only worked while in the fight Image

The robe of neutral archimagi is in Trademeet in the Blacksmiths.

The Bonusses stay, trust me.

Restart the game and strip yourself of all armor (after you import your character, ofcourse). Pick a fight with the guards, your resistance to weapons of +1 and below kicks in (if you choose the "good" path, that is).

It's pretty cool to watch you guy getting hit and taking no damage Image

Numer 1, you are captured when you start the game. Iranicus is no idiot so he stripped you of all your posessions.
But he is also pretty dumb as you can re-import your characters and get your stuff back (some consider this cheating, but I just hate to get all my stuff back.... again).

Number 2 Idonno, sorry.

Number 3 You can buy the locket in the harbor district, it has something to do with the Jahera romance (no further spoiler here Image)
