1. HOW TO USE THE CLUA CONSOLE:

Step One Open the game's directory C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA

Step Two Open the Baldur.ini file in notepad.

Step Three Find the line [Program Options]. Under it are a variety of settings for your game. Add this line:

Debug Mode=1 Cheats=1

And it must be Debug Mode=1, not debug mode=1 or anything else. Save and close notepad. (Make a back-up copy of the INI File before editing it just in case).

Step Four Now when you are in the game, press CTRL-SPACE to bring up the Console. This is where you will enter all the cheats.

The Cheat=1 line will enable the hot keys, to finish setting this up go into your game and type CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys() in the space that appears when you press CTRLSPACE
NB - this is a work in progress, I have to reproduce it all step by step, please don't post in here. Thank you

6. Rivell Shadowblade's Race & Class FAQ:

This rather erm… sublime (yeah right ) FAQ was made to help those seeking strategies, tips and general info when it comes to choosing a class and race. I’ve tested some of the classes and all these conjectures are based on my experience with them. I have enjoyed playing with some of these classes and have had frustration with some of them. Yet, all in all, I have learned some cool things and perhaps this guide may help you in perfecting your character (whether you are powergaming or just plain ‘ol good fashion role-playing). Note that there are minor spoilers inside, but rest assured there are no plot/story spoilers! Any comments, input that you can provide is welcome and wanted!!! It is my first, crappy attempt at one and I know there’s a lot of stuff I may miss out anyway.
Making your choice

First before choosing a class one must decide on what race one wants to role-play. There are seven official races and some having advantages and some have disadvantages ie. Depending on your choice they may be some limitations. Some races suit a certain class and others not. Before choosing any class, one must think carefully of the race you wish to role-play. Here are some characteristics on the races:
Human: Homo sapiens. The humans are the most versatile and predominant of all the races. They can advance to any level and choose any class. Humans are good to choose for newbies (or a favourite of veterans), as they impose fewer restrictions than other races. Note, that humans are the only race that can duel-class.
Most appropriate classes: anything!

Dwarves: Short, stocky, rude but ever ready for chaos are these ‘shorter’ folk. Dwarves love minerals, mining and caves. They usually don’t get along with elves though. Theirs stats are:
+1 Constitution (being in caves & mines have toughened their physic).
-1 Dexterity (being short and stock has its weighbacks. (whisper) Easily remedied with potions of dexterity or bracers of dexterity found at the beholder pit under the sewers. (/whisper)
They have resistance to poison and magic.
Infravision
Most appropriate classes: As they get a bonus to Con, it is suitable for Dwarves to be either a Fighter type of class or a priest class. Don’t be fooled by their stature…many big warriors have been felled by these sour, short folk.

Elves: Masters of Lore, Keeper of all things ancient and jubilant folk are the elves. Elves are usually smaller than humans and have delicate features. They are seen as remote and facetious. They like speaking in melodic tones and in riddles. Just like them blasted pointy-eared folk, always trying to retain their mysticsm. Their stats are:
+1 to Dexterity
-1 to Constitution
Resistance to Charm and Sleep magic (Word has it that this is a false rumour. Rigobert the Conjurer has often boasted how many elven maidens he had charmed and bedded. But If I know Rigobert well, he must have been under the charms of a spirit called Firewine.)
+1 in the usage of bow and Long sword (elven children are often taught how to use these weapons at a young age)
Infravision
Most appropriate classes: Fighter/Ranger, Mage, Thief, and Sorcerer.

Halfings: Ahh the good, short, merry and generally plumpy folk. They have furry feet and bushy hair, look almost like small humans. Beware of the food they eat, many adventurers have had the occasional sick stomach after eating something made by a halfling. Egads, mushrooms! Their stats are:
+1 Dex (being small and smaller than dwarves has its advantages)
-1 Str (whisper) easily remedied with ogre gauntlets or girdle of Frost Giant (/whisper)
+1 with slings
Resistant to poisons and magic. (But ofcourse they have resistances to poison, Sune knows how they can eat those damn ‘shrooms!)
Infravision.
Most appropriate classes: thief, fighter.

Gnomes: Kin of dwarves, though smaller. Usually sporting big noses and white hair. The most irritating race I’ve come across in Faerun. By Sune, don’t they ever shut up!? Though they are very clever folk, steer clear of their experimental gadgets and never ask them to tell you a story!
Their stats are:
+1 Int
-1 Wis (“I wonder if Sarevok is ticklish?”-Last words said by Jan Jansen)
Resistant to magic.
Infravision
Most appropriate Classes: Mage, thief.

Half-elves: My favourite race! Bred of both human and elvish stock. They possess the good features from both races. They are very troubled folk though, mentaly that is, never being fully accepted by either humans or elves alike. Shame, poor half-elves.
Their stats are:
Resistance to sleep and charm spells
Infravision
Most appropriate classes: fighter, mage, thief, cleric, druid (half-elves have a wider choice of multi-class options and therefor make better multi-classing choices)

Half-orc: bred of human and orcish blood, these brutes are extremely tough. No one can dismiss their obvious heritage though, so beware, they’re not too domesticated as of yet! By Sune, what would ever make a man make out with an orc is beyond me or vice versa…most of the cases I’ve heard of was forced sex…but rumour has it Minsc’s mother fell in love with one after he was born. Poor dear!
Their stats are:
+1 Str (Dude, I can, like, benchpress 80 kgs)
+1 Con
-1 Int (Bah! Me smash skulls, do me look like me need to write or know that there 26 alphabets in common language!)
-1 Chr (whisper) easily remedied with a certain ring found at the circus (/whisper)
Most appropriate classes: fighter, barbarian, priest and thief. Something where logic and thought does not apply much.

Yeah I share the disappointment of not including sub-races but hey maybe next time, okay. So those are the official races and your first choice would be to picking the right race for the right class. There’s no use on making a gnome barbarian when a half-orc or dwarf would be a wiser choice unless you are seriously role-playing. That is hardly the case however, very few role-players on this board anyway. So now we delve into the classes (your character’s proffesion per se) and kits. I have graded the classes based on my experiences and have tested their usefulness.

Grades are based on a scale of 1-5. 1 being good, maybe even dwelling on uber munchkin 5-very poor, sucky.

Note though, this are all based on my opinions of the class. Someone may find the jester a better kit than what I have graded it upon. If you can provide suggestive counter points, it may help me look at them in a different light.

----------------
Warrior classes
Fighter, Beserker, Kensai & Wizard Slayer.

Fighter:
Grade: 3 (average)
Most suitable race to use: Half-orc, Human, Dwarf and Elf.

Suitable Fighting style and weapons: Long sword, katanas, hammers, bastard sword, and Two-handed weaponry eg. Sword, halberd, spear. Opt for two-weapon style or two-handed weapon style. Sword and Shield is also good for those who prefer shields though not recommended since you’re more than likely to have good armour, rings, cloaks of protection or the like anyway.

Choice of weapons:
Celestial Fury (katana)
Equalizer (long ssword)
Duskblade (halberd)
Crom Faer (hammer)
Lilarcor (personal fav. Two-handed great sword)
Ravager (Two handed great sword)
Silver Sword (two handed vorpal blade)
In game characters: Anomen (dual cleric), Sarevok, Mazzy

Pros:
+Can make use of any armour and weapon.
+Grandmaster in weaponry.

Cons:
-None

Who would choose a normal fighter: this class is usually good for newbies and veterans alike as they can wear any armour and use all types of weapons. The no-drawback is an eye-catcher as well. The plain fighter still remains the feasible choice of adventuring party, often seen in the employments o f wizards.

Beserker:
Grade: 2
Most suitable race to use: human, half-orc and dwarf.
Suitable fighting style and weapons: two-weapon style or two-handed style. Suitable weapons same as above.

In game characters: Korgan Bloodaxe – (an evil bastard)

Pros:
+Can Enrage once per day every four levels. While a beserker is enraged he/she gains +2 hit, +2 dmg and –2 AC.
+Gains 15hp temporarily. (The 15 hp goes away after beserker rage and may possible kill off the beserker). The hp cannot be regained by either natural or magical causes)
+Whilst enrage the beserker becomes immune to certain spells eg. Imprisoned, stun, maze, charm, confusion, domination.

Cons:
-Usless in missile weapons. May only specialize in ranged weapons.

Who would use this kit: Someone looking for something more in a fighter, especially good against a mage who loves imprisoning you. Saved me trouble against Kangaxx!!! By Sune, did I tell you how much I laughed when I saw him unleashing imprisonment spell after imprisonment spell, the milk just flowed from my nostrils. *Note to myself: It is of no small consequence that I was the victim of a poorly aimed bolt…*sniff* I couldn’t sit for atleast two weeks!*

Kensai:
Grade:1(good)
Best race to use: human, elf and half-orc.
Suitable fighting style and weapons: two-weapon style and two-handed style. If you have rolled a low dex score, you may want to invest in single weapon style, to get an AC bonus. I wouldn’t though, since more than likely you are bound to ‘acquire’ some AC adjustment items anyway (it is recommended that you roll a high Dex score anyway). Swords and swords only, be it long swords, katanas, scimitars, two-handed sword, bastard swords

Ingame characters: none

Pros:
+1 hit every 3 levels
+1 dmg every 3 levels
-1 to weapon speed factor every 4 levels
+Kai-May invoke Kai skill, once for every 4 levels. All attack damage is maximised.

Cons:
-Can’t use armour
-Can’t use bracers.
-Can’t use missile weapons.

Who would want to use this kit: Do you want to be the Jedi Master of D&D? Do you want your enemies to cower at your double sword wielding, half-orc? Then look no further for the Kensai is the master of one-on-one combat. Recommended that newbies try out the vanilla (plain) fighter kit first before trying out the kensai. The disadvantages may cause you to hit that reload button quite often and us members at BIS wouldn’t want you to curse the game now, would we? The lack of armor is a biatch, but the kensai usually kills of enemies before they can even swing their axes.

Plus the kensai has some of the best dual class options available. Really want an uber munchkin-like killer? Why not dual him/her to a mage and unleash a stoneskin spell as you rush on and whirlwind attack your foes…or want to have some major backstabbing fun, turn him/her to a thief. *Note to myself: These fighters are very powerful swordsmen; even I have been bested by a kensai from Kara-Tur. I should really practice more often*

Wizard Slayer:
Grade:5
Most suitable race to use: Human, Dwarf, Elf, Half-orc
Suitable fighting style and weapons: Same as fighter

In game characters: None

Pros:
+Magic Resistance
+Spell Disruption
+Grandmaster in weaponry

Cons:
-Cannot use magical items including rings, necklaces, braces, boots

Who would want to use this kit? Those who belong in places like Mystra’s Embrace or Spellhold! This is the worst kit IMO, especially for a fighter. It would have been a nice kit had they tweaked the magic resistance more and allowed the wizard slayer to use magical items. By Sune, my I had this guy in my party and he refused to drink the magical healing potion! I believe the inquisitor kit from the paladin would make a better wizard slayer than this kit! *Note to myself, do not hire wizard slayers to my next venture into Thay*
Barbarian:
Grade: 3 (A good tanker!!!)
Best race to use: Dwarf, Human, Half-orc and Elf. (Elf is a debatable choice here…since more than likely your brethren will look you down upon, but give it a whirl I always say)
Suitable fighting style and weapons: Any style of your choice. May want to invest into sword and shielf style though since, armour choices are rather limited to the barbarian. (See cons).

Ingame characters: None

Pros:
+Moves faster than the usual character (not as fast as a haste spell but quick enough to close down on the enemy)
+The barbarian rolls d12 instead of a fighter’s d10 hitpoints, thereby, with a high constitution, can be a formidable tank.
+ Can Rage once per day, every 4 levels. The rage however is different from the beserker’s one. This one gives a +4 to Str & Con.
+The barbarian gains resistances to slashing, piercing, crushing and missile damage.

Cons:
-A barbarian cannot wear full plate or plate mail. (Perhaps, a reason to opt for using a shield to make up for the AC problem)
-A barbarian cannot advance past normal specialiazation in proficiencies. (Well, they do not train as efficiently as fighters do) Not much of a problem though, since both rangers and paladins get weapon specialization and still woop xvart ass!!!)

Who would want to use this class: Once again, this might appeal a lot to newbies, as the barbarian is a very straightforward class. The armour and specialization con may put off some newbies and veterans alike, but then again he’s a tank! The barbarian, interesting enough, is also a new class from 3E rules.
Ranger Kits
Ranger, Stalker, Archer, Beastmaster

Ranger:
Grade: 4
Suitable races: Elf, Half-elf or Human. Most appropriate choice would be elf because of the +1 to sword/bow and Dex bonus.
Suitable fighting style and weapons: All ranger kits start off specialized in duel-wielding, so you might want to add another point there and take it up further. I would also invest some points into Spear, Two-handed swords + fighting skill.

Ingame characters: Minsc – a rather odd, beserking ranger. Go ahead; take him if you want the occasional grin or laugh.

Pros:
+Can cast some Druidic spells
+Can Charm mammals/person
+Racial Enemy (+4 to hit & dmg)
+Stealth mode (Studded leather and normal leather only)
+Starts off with two * in duel wielding. (A real bonus for those who like/prefer duel-wielding)
Cons:
-Racial limitations. Only half-elf, elf or human. There is a way to combat this though (Shadowkeeper).
-Can only be goody-two shoes. LG, NG and CG.
-I’d rather take a fighter or one of its kits or one of the other ranger kits. It’s just not worth it really.

Who would use this class: Um…those who like a fighter class but like the woodsman type, like stealth (sneaking around) Beware: several dark elf rangers, duel-wielding scimitars are afoot. Kill as necessary! Only for the veterans or true role-players really. But this is where it all starts at folks.

Archer:
Grade: 1 (the dude’s like a kensai, only with bows or missile weapons instead)
Suitable races: As above^^.
Suitable fighting styles and weapons: Long bows, short bows, Crossbows…heck anything that has to do with missile weapons. Just don’t invest in slings or throwing dagger type though. May want to invest in spear, halberd or two handed sword though, that way you can easily switch from melee to missile at any time without hassle.

In game characters: None

Pros:
+Can achieve grandmaster in missile weapons
+1 to hit and +1 to dmg every 4 levels
+ Invoke skill shot upon which several bonuses may be applied
+Racial Enemy (+4 to hit & dmg)
+Druidic Spells
+Charm mammal/person
+Starts off with two * in duel wielding

Cons:
-Cannot wear above studded leather armour.
-Can only be proficient in melee weapons. (The trade-off is worth it though; you usually kill off them critters before they come any closer to you)

Who would want to use this kit? Definatly both veterans and newbies. This dude just r0x0rs…prolly the best ranger kit IMHO. The melee weapon profiency may put people off but as I said, the trade-off is worth it. As you would usually attack from far, the armor limitation is not so bad since you’re more than likely to avoid close combat.
Ooooh, Legolas- LG Elven Archer with Long Bow (Strong arm). *Note to myself: The people of Trademeet held an archery contest once. All were amazed, including myself, to see Timuis shoot an apple a couple of hundred meters ahead with sheer perfection and accuracy*

Stalker: (my personal preference and fav. kit)
Grade: 3
Suitable races: ^^
Suitable fighting styles and weapons: Duel-wielding, definatly. Opt for katana, scimitar, long sword, bastard, short sword and axes. If not, go for two-handed weaponry of your choice, most opted would be for two-handed swords. Long and short bow a must also.

Ingame characters: Valygar Corthala, a human ranger. Pretty good character…but with the personality of a stale slice of cheese. This lad definatly needs a glass of Tradmeetan milk!
(or maybe just the love of a good Halfling lass ~Tess)

Pros:
+Can backstab (ooooooh, coupled with celestial fury, equalizer or someother cool sword, and a girdle of strength, can really punish the victim.)
+Bonus to stealth attribute (gets a higher bonus to stealth ability than the other ranger kits.
+Has mages spells??? (I can’t confirm this, but this kit can cast some mage spells like, haste).
+Drudic spells
+Charm mammal/person
+Starts off with two * in duel wielding

Cons:
-Can’t use armor higher than studded leather armor.

Who would want to use this kit? This is a rather odd type of ranger kit. Part mage, part thief… he can be an efficient killer if used properly. Stay in the shadows the majority of the time and then backstab, backstab, backstab! The con is not so bad; there are ways to boost your AC to get a desired level. *Note to myself: Being a stalker is not as all chalked up as it’s supposed to be. Arlyn Ortega, General of the Flaming Fist, has often accused me of harrasing people. Why the nerve! But who am I to complain, being a half-drow…I should remain more in the shadows*

Beastmaster:
Grade: 4 (sorry Ramon)
Suitable races: ^^
Suitable fighting styles and weapons: Go for short bows or long bows. Two handed weaponry- Staff. Or go for blunt weaponry: maces, clubs.

In game characters: None

Pros:
+Can summon familiar (Very cool)

Paladins:

Paladin:
Grade: 3
Most suitable race to use: Human only
Most suitable fighting style and weapons: Two handed weapon style or sword and shielf fighting style. Strive for points in Two handed sword and two handed fighting style. If not, then go for Bastard sword and Long sword.

Ingame characters: None

Pros:
+Weapon Specialization
+Lay on Hands
+Turn Undead
+ +2 to all saving throws
+ Protection from Evil
+Detect Evil
+Some cleric spells

Cons:
-Racial limitation. Human only
-Can only be goody-two shoes. LG only.

Who would want to use this kit?
Much better than the vanilla ranger. Makes for a better warrior. The saving throw bonus is valuable. You want a holy warrior, a virtuos brawler, and the one that all the noble girls love to flirt with? Then here’s your class! *Note to myself: Not all paladins are arrogant and anal bastards. I have journeyed throughout Athkatla with a holy warrior by the name of Sir Buliwyf. Quite a nice bloke really, he too my heritage quite well. I often though he’d smite me on site but he holds up them virtues pretty high*

Undead Hunter:
Grade: 1
Most suitable Race: same as above
Suitable fighting style and weapons: ^^

In game characters: None.

Pros:
+Immune to Hold
+Immune to level drain
+3 to hit and dmg Vs. Undead
+Weapon Specialization

Cons:
-No lay on hands. (Awwww…shame)

Who would want to use this kit?
This is my favorite kit of the paladin class. The bonuses are really cool and makes your fighter the bane of the undead. They won’t stand a chance against you really. The Con- Bah, lay on hands is a useless skill at higher levels. By then your clerics and priests would have more better healing spells.

Cavalier:
Grade: 2
Most suitable race to use: ^^
Suitable fighting styles and weapons: Two handed weaponry, duel wielding or sword and shield style. Opt for Two handed sword, long sword, axes and bastard sword.

In game characters: None

Pros:
+20% resistance to fire
+20% resistance to acid
+Immune to fear and posion
+ +3 bonus to hit and dmg dragons and demons
+Weapon Specialization

Cons:
-Can’t use missile weapons.

Who would want to use this kit? Can’t wait to tackle a demon or dragon in an epic, classical battle? Then why not head on with a Cavalier. A gentlemen warrior who epitomises honour, courage and loyalty…all the while sending dragons and demons back to the abyss. The immunity to fear is a cool bonus. Sune knows how my fellow men, including me at times, run away in fear.

Inquisitor:
Grade: 1
Suitable race to use: ^^
Suitable fighting style and weapons: Two handed style and two handed swords- ‘nuff said!

In game characters: Keldorn Firecam

Pros:
+Immune to charm
+Immune to hold
+True Sight
+Dispel Magic (much stronger than the mage’s version)
+Weapon specialization

Cons:
-No lay on hands
-Can’t cast priest spells
-Can’t turn undead
-Can’t cure disease

Who would want to use this kit?
Are those pesky mages giving you trouble? Feel like causing some pain and havoc to those damnable “Cowled Wizards”? Than this kit is your choice. Coupled with Carsomyr (Holy Avenger), no mage should give you any trouble. His greatest ability is the dispel magic.

Rogues
Thief, Swashbuckler, Assasin and Bounty Hunter.

Thief
Grade: 3
Suitable race to use: All…but preference goes to gnomes and halflings.
Suitable fighting style: Single weapon style. Points in short sword, long sword, staff, dagger and short bow.

In game characters: Nalia De’Arnise (dual mage), Imoen Yragor (dual mage) Jan Jansen (multi-class mage)

Pros:
+Stealth
+Open locks
+Pickpocket
+Move silently
+Set traps
+Find traps
+Detect Illusions

Cons:
-Cannot be Lawful Good
-Cannot wear armor higher then studded leather armour.
-Cannot use shield, except for puny bucklers
-Limited choice of weapons to use.

Who would use this class?
Aaah…the second oldest proffesion in the world…or is it third…or fourth or…. nevermind. It is an old profession. A party without a thief is a party going nowhere. There are to many traps that need detrapped…to many locks that need picklocked and too many fat nobles that need to robbed. And this is the most suitable choice for veterans. *Note to myself: Ahh, the days when I lived my life in Athkatla, I used to rob apples from poor ‘ol Grunrak everyday. I missed those days, but it was very dangerous…especially for me. Sure if I was just your average thief, the guards would lock me up in the dungeons…but they would burn a half-drow like me. *

Swashbuckler:
Grade: 2
Most suitable race to use: Human, Half-orc, Halfling, Elf
Most suitable fighting style and weapons: Duel wielding. Opt for short sword, katana, scimitar, long sword, and daggers.
In game characters: None

Pros:
+Can put 3* in duel-wielding
+Can put 2* in longswords and shortswords.
Cons:
-Can’t backstab (oh boy)

Who would want to use this kit?
This is a more offensive version of the normal thief. This kit gets more combat bonuses…but remember he’s not a fully-fledged fighter though. While a more capable fighter than the normal thief, this kit loses the ability to backstab. So although your kit is potentially more warfare based, you can’t do massive damage from behind.

Assasin:
Grade: 2
Most suitable race to use: ^^
Suitable fighting style and weapons: ^^

In game characters: None

Pros:
+ Coat weapon with poison
+Combat bonuses

Cons:
-Penalty to thieving skills
Monk
Grade: 1
Most suitabel race to use: Human only
Suitable fighting styles and weapons: Single weapon style. Katana, short sword, long sword and staff. Barehands!!!

In game characters: None.

Pros:
+Martial Arts
+Magic Resistance
+Lay on hands
+Fast movement
+Stealth
+Detect traps

Cons:
-Cannot wear armor

7. JOINABLE NPC's and SIDE QUESTS:

Although most of us debate about the merits of various NPC's, not everyone knows where they all are, and what quests they have assosiated with them. Some quests are as basic as rescuing them, others involve romance, others are time based and mwean they will leave you if you don't complete them soon enough.

MINSC - RANGER/HUMAN - Find him in Irenicus's Dungeon in a cage. Rescue him.

JAHEIRA - FIGHTER/DRUID/HALF-ELF - Find her next to Minsc, rescue her, then you can romance her, or just do her other side quests which include a lot of work with the Harpers . The romance is pretty long but you get a decent amount of exp. and a nice item at the end (in SoA). Take care not to kick her out of let her get turned to stone, this will kill the love

YOSHIMO - BOUNTY HUNTER THEIF/HUMAN - Second level of Irenicus's Dungeon. Take him to Spellhold with you for his quest.

IMOEN - THIEF/MAGE/HUMAN - She greeets you at the start. Rescuing her from Spellhold is her quest. She'll have a few dialogues with you about your relationship afterSDpellhold, the slayer, and In ToB, she will talk about her developing "powers". There is also a romance in the works for those of you who are interested

AERIE - CLERIC/MAGE/ELF - Find her in the Circus tent in Waukeen's Promenade, rescue her, and you can also romance her, and help Haer'Dalis

VICONIA - CLERIC/DROW ELF - Governement district. Yiu must rescue her, and you can also romance her. She's not easy to work with, but she's worth it

JAN - ILLUSIONIST/THIEF/GNOME - In the Government District selling turnips. After you've been with him for a few days, he'll be asked to return home. His former love Lissa needs his help in curing her daughter.

KELDORN - INQUISITOR PALADIN/HUMAN - He's in the sewers under the temple district. Yoiu must mediate between him and his wife, and deal with the Unseeing eye cult.

ANOMEN - FIGHTER/CLERIC/HUMAN - Find him in the Copper Coronet in the Slums District, roamnce him, and/or help him to become a Knight, and deal with a family tragedy.

KORGAN - FIGHTER/DWARF - Copper Coronet. His quest is just a small one, you must help him find the book of the Kaza. I believe there is a time timit on the quest, at least for when he tells you to go to the Copper Coronet, if you take too long no-one will be there.

NALIA - THEIF/MAGE/HUMAN - Copper Coronet - Help her family defend D'Arnise Hold, take control of it if you are a fighter, and keep her safe from her "fiance". Romance her if you have the Mod.

HAER'DALIS - BARD/TIEFLING - Talk to his friends in the Five Flagons Inn's playhouse, then rescue him from the mage they send you to in the sewers for him to join you. Then take the planar gem back to his friends and wait

EDWIN - CONJURER MAGE/HUMAN - Agree to help Renal Bloodscalp in the Docks District, go to Mae'Var's Guoldhall and carry out the tasks her sets you and you will find Edwin. Take Edwin to the Graveyard District sometime and you'll meet a friendly fellow in the underground tombs who'll give him a scroll.. then wait

MAZZY - FIGHTER/HALFLING - Umar Hills Temple - Rescue her, then help her when she is called home to aid her sister who has been poisoned, and you also get attacked by an Ogre outside the Copper Coronet.

CERND - DRUID/HUMAN - In the mayor's house in Trademeet, help him save the Druid Grove and find his son later

VALYGAR - STALKER RANGER/HUMAN - Hiding in a cabin in Umar Hills, take him to the Planar Sphere for his quest.

EXTRA NPCS:-

SOLAFEIN - FIGHTER/MAGE/DROW ELF - Normally you meet him in Ust Natha in the Underdark but he doesn't join you, with the mod, he'll turn up once you leave the Underdark and join with you. He'll romance ANYONE but if you don't like poetry, steer clear

KELSEY - SORCERER/HUMAN - Meet him in the Governemt District near the Firecam Estate, you can romance him if you are a lady (he's soo dreamy )

TASHIA - SORCERER/HUMAN - Meet her in the Tavern in Trademeet, romance her.

VALEN - ANTI PALADIN/VAMPIRE: You meet her once you get 1500 Gold and she asks you to meet her "Mistress" (Bodhi). Meet her and Valen will be there vampirised and will join your party. She doesn't have any side quests, she's just a fun, evil evil NPC

8. STRONGHOLDS:

Each Charactor class has a stronghold, some are shared. If you are diual or Multi class you get the first stronghold you come across. Kits have the same Stronghold as the main classes. Most stronghold quests are time based, if you don't complete them within the alotted time, you lose out.

FIGHTERS/BARBARIANS/MONKS - D'Arnise Hold. Be warned that the area code changes after the Hold becomes yours so any stored items are lost, make sure you have all your stuff before talking to Nalia after you cleared the place. Go back to the hold every so often to check for quests, if you wait for a while before going a messenger will be sent asking you to return. You'll earn 500G every few days which will be placed in the library upstairs where you find the key at the start. If Nalia is in your party, there will be some extra dialogues.

PALADINS - A room in the temple of the Radiant Heart - Temple District. You get this after beating Jierdan Firkraag. Thery will require you to do 3 quests. You can store stuff in your room, but can't rest there.

CLERICS - A room in a Temple, depending on your alignment (Good - Helm, Neutral - Lathander, Evil - Talos). For eacvh you will be given a few tasks, for example, with the Lathander temple, you have to help a cuckolded husband, a confused murderer and a crisis of faith.. plus dealing with those evil Talossians You can sleep in your area of the Lathander temple.

RANGERS - Cabin in Umar Hills. Go back there after a few days for the first quest, Delon will come and fetch you to complete 2 others.

THIEVES - Running Mae'var's guildhall, which involves assinging your theives to duties, telling them what crime to commit and how etc

BARDS - Playhouse under the Five Fladons Inn in the Bridge District. Help Higgold the manager stage a production of "The Turmish Play". Great fun You can later sell the playhouse or keep it and collect money weekly.

MAGE/SORCERER/WILD MAGE - Planar Sphere in the Slums District. After clearing it, go back in and a Cowled Wizard will appear and give you 3 apprentices. They will make you a variety of magical items, but attempting and of the third set of itmes they ooffer will result in the death of at least one of them, in which case you won't get a nifty graduation ceremony.. although the items are powerful.. it's your choice

DRUID - Grove outside Trademeet (Note: Any Druid in your group can fight Faldorn, only a PC Druid can challenge for leadership). Sleep in the Grove to activate the first quest, and a subsequent one, and also challenge to become master of the grove. You get a nifty figurine at the end of it all.

 

[The Kingpin]

9. FAMILIARS:

Only your PC mage can cast find familiar, any mage can learn it and memorise it, but can't use it. The type of Familiar you get depends on your alignment:

Lawful Good: Pseudo Dragon . AC - 0, HP - 48. 35% magic resistance,renders victims unconscious, casts Blur, Ghost Armor, Detect Illusion, 2attacks per round.

Neutral Good: Pseudo Dragon AC - 0 HP - 48. (same as above)

Chaotic Good: Fairy Dragon AC - 0 HP - 24. 45% magic res., casts Invisibility 10' Radius, Imp. Invisibility & Mirror Image 1/day

Lawful Neutral: Ferret AC - -4 HP - 48, 65% magic res., 95% Pickpocket, 60% Stealth, 60% Detect Traps

Chaotic Evil: Quasit AC - -2 HP - 48. Casts Horror, 35% magic resist., immune to fire, cold and elec; regenerates 1 Hp/second, 3 attacks per round, attack reduces targeT DEX.
10. HOW DO I KILL KANGAXX??

Improved mace of disruption (mace from Bodhi's lair, improved with illithium from the Sir Sarles quest), protection from Undead/Magic scrolls.Freedom if your mage is a high level will remove imprisonemnt. Also other than the Improved mace, you need +4 weapons to hit him. Useful spells are those which cream the undead in general like Sunray, Sunlight, Bolt of Glory maybe, and stuff like Breach, Pierce magic, Greater Malison and Lower resistance you can set up few Chain Contingencies with 3 Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting or 3 Project Image and cast 3 Abi-Dalzim's.... Also, the Slayer cannot be imprisoned so you can always have your PC change and bash the hell out of him. If your CLeric is high enough level, Turn/Control Undead may help. Read the 50 ways to kill your Kangaxx via the Baldurdash link in the links section below.
11. MY LOVER'S BEEN VAMPIRISED BY BODHI!

Once you've staked Bodhi, you get her heart and the Rhynn Lanthorn, check the rooms in that area and you'll find a book with all the info you need. Pick up your lovers corpse (you have to kill 'em) and off you go.
SPOILERS
If you still don't know how to do it, go to the temple ruins by Umar to the statue that "looks like it's holding out it's arms for something", put the heart and the corpse there and voila!
12. PARTY ARGUEMENTS

This happens between characters of opposite alignments such as Keldorn and Viconia, and Anomen gets stroppy when he fails a knighthood. You can either grin and bear it, do various tricks such as let them knock each other unconscious or boot one out for a few days etc, or download the happy group patch from Sorcerers Place . You should note, that this will also cut out the Aerie/Haer'Dalis mini romance as he may challenge you if you romance her.
13. TOMBELTHAN'S JOURNAL:

You may come across half of it in the Umar Temple Ruins, however, you cannot find the Mithril until you get given the quest as part of the Ranger Stronghold. If you are a Ranger, you will find a necklace hidden in a stack of stones guarded by Skeletons to the East of the Tombelthan encampment.

14. KING STROM'S MASK:

It is used in the Windspear dungeon to be able to see the final guardian. It has little use beyond that, apart from protection from critical hits and the fact that Mage's and Rogues may wear it.

15. DRAGONS:

There are various different strategies for killing these beasts, ranging from simply throwing everything you can think of at them and hacking away, trapping them, or, for a Magic dependent party, as suggested by Balthamael:" First, have a priest cast magic resistance on the lizard. Then cast on
succession lower resistance-greater malison-doom-feeblemind. If the dragon saves
against feeblemind, cast another until it works. Beware of Saladrex in WK,
though. He casts spell deflection. You'll end up feebleminding your own mage
unless you dispel it first." For more tactics help, see Mikar's tactics Sticky in this forum.

16. GOLEMS:

Flesh Golem: Pinkish, small, 40hp, 2000xp. Requires +1 to hit. Level 9. 100% magic resistance. 100% resistance to cold (but not magic cold) damage. 125% resistance to electricity damage (will regenerate).

Stone Golem: Brownish, small, 60hp, 8000xp. Requires +2 to hit. Level 14. 100% magic resistance. Casts "Slow".

Clay Golem: Brownish, small, 50hp, 8000xp. Requires +1 to hit. Level 9. 100% resistance to all forms of physical damage except crushing damage. 100% magic resistance. 100% resistance to Cold (but not magic cold) and Electricity damage. 50% resistance to fire damage. Casts "Haste".

Magic Golem: Purple (Fire Elemental shape), small, 64hp, 8000xp. Requires normal weapon to hit, immune to magical weapons. Level 10. 100% magic resistance. 100% resistance to all elemental damage. Immune to spell levels 1-9.

Ice Golem: Blue, large, 92hp, 13000xp. Not sure what is needed to hit, but probably +3 (it should not be an issue by the time you meet this kind of golem). Level 20. 20% resistance to all forms of physical damage. 100% resistance to all elemental damage except fire damage. No magic or fire resistance, however will cast spell "Scalding Steam" which automatically targets a character which does fire damage to it with a fireball-like spell.

Iron Golem: Greyish, large, 80hp, 13000xp. Requires +3 to hit. Level 18. 20% resistance to all forms of physical damage. 100% magic resistance. 100% resistance to all elemental damage except fire damage. 125% resistance to fire damage (will regenerate). Casts poison "Gas Cloud".

Adamantite Golem: Greyish, large, 80hp, 25000xp. Requires +3 to hit. Level 18. 90% resistance to all forms of physical damage. 100% magic resistance. 100% resistance to all elemental damage except fire. 125% resistance to fire damage (will regenerate). Casts poison "Gas Cloud".

Bone Golem -
You'll need a +1 weapon to hit them.

Brain Golem -
You'll need a +2 weapon to hit 'em. And they have 100% resistance, not 25% (to physical damage, except crushing)

17. "UBER - KILLERS" (Arkanis Gith et al)

There are two "Uber-Killers" in the game who show up to stop you screwing up. A guy called Arkanis will show up if you attempt to kill/pick-pocket the Shadow Thieves when you are working for them, or, if you were a thief who cannot work for Bodhi. He shows up to stop you killing the thieves and leaving yourself with no way to get to Spellhold (duh). The lesson is.... don't try and backstab a thief. There is a way to kill him AFTER Spellhold as he is no longer invulnerable, it involves Time Stop and Shapeshifting to Illithid and brain sucking him.
The Second Uber is and Elf who turns up if you try and attack Elthan... think about it.. if you attack him and all the elves go red, this will logically include Ellesime right.. that leaves you kinda screwed. You CANNOT kill this guy, even if you could, it would mean the game ends somewhat prematurely.....

18. TEARS OF BHAAL (Thanks To Wistrik for this)

Note: This info is based on the game after being patched by the official Bioware patch and the fixpack (SoA or ToB) available from Baldurdash.

Bonuses for Good & Evil

Here are the results for the five tests of Hell:

1. Fear (Nymph Cloak)

Good (no cloak) = Immune to normal weapons; immune to +1 weapons
Evil (cloak) = +2 constitution

2. Selfishness (Two paths of doors; Hostage is player 2 (*see below) for parties or a summoned NPC if soloing.)

Good (left doors) = +10% magic resistance
--First Door: -2 maximum hitpoints
--Second Door: -1 dexterity
--Last Door: -75,000 experience
Evil (right doors) = +2 bonus to armor class
--First & Second Doors: hostage suffers 50 points of acid damage
--Last Door: hostage suffers an explosive death

3. Greed (Blackrazor)

Good (give sword) = +2 bonus to all saving throws, +20,000 experience
Evil (keep sword) = +15 maximum hitpoints, +11,000 experience (for killing the genie)

4. Pride (Black Dragon)

Good (no attack) = +20% resistance to fire, cold and electricity
Evil (attack) = +200,000 experience

5. Wrath (Sarevok)

Good (No Slayer) = +1 wisdom, +1 charisma
Evil (Slayer) = +2 strength; plus the following bonuses based on the main character's primary (first listed) class:
--Fighter types = +1 strength (total of +3 on this test)
--Thief and Bard types = +1 dexterity
--Paladin and Ranger types = +1 constitution (lose special abilities)
--Cleric and Druid types = +1 wisdom
--Mage types = +1 intelligence

* Player 2 does not necessarily mean the second player in your party list. It is whoever was the second person to join your party. If that person leaves then whoever is in third place moves into that position, and so on. For example, my party had Imoen join first, followed by Jaheira then Minsc then Anomen. Imoen was taken away, Jaheira left twice for Harper quests and I kicked Minsc out so, when I took this test, Anomen was in the second-player-to-join (player 2) slot even though he was in the fourth position in my party's line-up. (This is why your main character is always considered to be player 1 regardless of their position in the party.)

Reputation is unaffected by your choices.

For good or neutral aligned characters, any evil choice(s) will result in an alignment change to neutral evil; the alignment of Bhaal. This is because by making these choices you are giving in to his evil taint. The alignment change will not take effect until you use the tears of Bhaal on the door with eyes.

If the main character is a paladin or ranger and makes an evil choice he (or she) will "fall." This means losing all special abilities (innate and priest scroll) while retaining the slower level advancement and inability to train beyond specialization (++) in weapons.

Since that was obviously copied and pasted from somewhere else, how about you just paste a link to there next time. Or at the VERY least credit the original creator.

Look at the brains on you..

I ernt done yet..

 

[Louster]

So you managed to post all that text but since "barryworld kept timing out on you" you were unable to append those couple of sentences until now. Yep, great, that makes lots of sense. Whatever.

 

[Custodian]

If you want cheats and walkthroughs, or just hints, then I would suggest www.planetbaldursgate.com as a good start point. Links to lots of usefull stuff from there, all the BG games and others too.

Saves pasting the contents of whole websites into this forum anyways

BUT
If you are new to the games and want to enjoy them then resist the temptation to look at the cheats and walkthroughs unless really stuck. These games have a great reputation for a reason, and that is the involving gameplay. If you just cheat ya way through it will be over all to quickly and you will not get the full satisfaction.
