I've been looking for info on HoW but find no specifics, i.e. is it a sequel, add-on (like TOSC for BGI), rules update or what?

If I missed something while searching Game Banshee please just post the link.

It's an expansion pack like ToSC. It will add spells, ares,monsters etc and will allow a higher XP level.

Not only that, but they are going to allow your characters to hit upwards of 30th level, so it's going to make dungeon hacking serious fun =)... without using a cap remover or cheat.

Ahh, but I didn't even get near the cap in the original with a party of six. Are they going to give enough quests to go this high, or will it be a hacking benefit only?

Also, any possibility the new classes & kits from BGII will be included?

I hope theres way more side quest.
And a bigger town to visit and dont forget more areas to go to, open end adventuring.

No new kits or classes

Only new areas, spells and monsters. I think they will add 4 or 5 map locations like Dorn's Deep/Seldarine hand (i.e. severl maps per area) which accounts for an *awful* lot of time and XP.

Check out my replies to lich_lord for a good preview.

They ahve tweaked a few of the classes most notably the druid and bard. The powers are going to be more in line with the rest of the classes.
