Refresh my memory, isn't he part of the addamantite quest

Some quick answers ...
@Stilgar: (It was Illithium actually but...) yes. The children murderer. He's from BG1 too.
@Garazdawi:
Q: "Ability: defensive spin* what's tyhe point to fight if u cannot move*"
A: Equip a Ring of Free Action and run around slicing and dicing at your leisure with -10 AC
(But the original idea was to cast spells -or sing- without being disturbed, I guess).
@Daragen: Dimension Door is an existing spell, and it works. Only that game designers decided to make it unavailable to the player in SoA (notice that almost everybody else has it?)
That's unfair.
Use Shadow Keeper to copy it in your spellbook from the Spell Browser and enjoy!

Class: Since the Blade kit was made available, I find it hard to take any other class seriously...
Enemy: The ones that summon demons or simulacrums and then get attacked/killed by them! Fun! Lol! Wants more!
Alignment: Chaotic Good. (THE alignment of heroes)
Weapon: Blade of Roses (romantic value... my first +3 weapon in all BG saga)
Spell: CTRL+J (it has a neat visual effect... it makes me wonder... were players actually suppsed to *use* it by any chance?) ... What about calling it "Teleport without error" and putting it on some 7th level scroll?
NPC: (Why ask?) Pretty sweet little sissy Immy of course! (Together from day 1 to *The end* .... as always)
Ability: Uh, I love totemic spirit pets... summon familiar and/or summon Boo2 are good, too
Quest: I love to fight Vampires... the crypts... Is this a quest? Doh... ...or two? Have they names... ? Can't remember!


Dislikes

Class: Inquisitor. Can't understand how to use. Needs instruction booklet: Keldorn for Dummies or something...
Enemy: All those colored Jellys! I can never remember what's needed to hurt what color!
Alignment: Only Jaheira *False* (true) Neutral. All alignment are ok, if played fair!
Weapon: The Big Metal Rod. Not worthy all the fuss.
Spell: Armor of faith... What level should you be to pull something worthy out of it?
NPC: Keldorn I fear... for the aforementioned reason.
Ability: Rangers' charm animal! It's a joke! It *HAS* to be a joke!!!
Quest: I find the Tree of Life amazingly boring...
Ust Natha is a close second.

Ooo! I like that too. I forgot about it!

Aigh! Vampires!?! Level drain!

LOL Its all dealing with True Sight...in LARGE amounts. He became more useful later in the game, IIRC.

Oh. I know it. Those jellys are 10 times worse in IWD2....

Some answers also for me.. @Serje:
Defensive Spin may be used in the middle of a group of enemies.
Or if you're trying to keep an enemy occupied while your mage tries to incapacitate
him... perfect for my next char

About the alignment thing: who said CG is the alignment for heroes!
I say NG!

Armor of faith: consider that you can stack it with Hardiness, or the
Defender of Eastheaven...

And of course, Immy was left out of the contest, too easy

The alignment test says I'm NG. But I disagree with it.
(Which is enough to prove that I'm chaotic instead: See?)

To say it more seriously... there are different kind of heroes.
There's Superman, and then there's The Crow.
(And the alignment system form AD&D, imho, is a meaningless mess in the first place...)

Defender of Eastheaven...

If you have access to hardiness at all, it means you *are* the level I was referring to when asking "what level should you be..."

The first time I've encountered the Armor of Faith spell, I did not even have ToB installed (well, it didn't even exist by then now that I think of it)

Aahhhh.... *that* was the reason!

(...How come I find very more likely that Imoen will make fun of you for the rest of your life for clearly stating that you find Jan Jansen more appealing than her?)

Well Jan manages to make me actually laugh now and then...
"ah, home, sweet home... Wait! This is NOT home!"
And the novel about Ano, then...

Oh, I find that NG is a pretty realistic alignment, anyway

I love that one, too
It is hard to have to choose between Imoen and Jan, I have to admit it.
But if I was a girl, I would not be interested in romancing Jan anyway...

That's because you are Neutral Good, Littiz!
They still have to invent an alignment that fits me, instead...

"Ability: Rangers' charm animal! It's a joke! It *HAS* to be a joke!!! "

alson or somebody mentioned its good for making hordes of umber hulk pets....but yeah, it is a joke....

but then so is scribe scrolls, brew potions and magic flute...

i keep wondering where the heck the bard pulls out the magic flute...eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww.............. and whatpc would accept haer handing him a magic flute to use...eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww.............

So I hope, at least!

Agreed!
That quest makes no sense!
The *ONLY* reason to go there, is if you knew in advance of the items you would find!

I am very *PROUD* to say that in my current game I skipped the Shauaghin City *intentionally*
To hell with the cloak of cheese, the wave, the (improved throwing) impaler, the (minor) avatar of Sekolah (which is fun but it's just the same the 2nd time you fight it... I can't see a lot of "tactics" in it ... pun... )... AND the Silver Blade as well (you forgot to mention it, Uncle!)

I can do without all of that.
Went through the portal.
To go with Saemon just makes no sense at all roleplaying-wise!!!

Spoiler

One thing I have never quite figured out is that, if you do zap him in SoA, Saemon appears again in ToB, to be zapped a second time.

The injustice of it all...
