I don't understand Bhaal's Logic.
If killing Bhaalspawns would return the essence to Bhaal in the Abyss so that he can be revived, what was the logic behind spreading his essence to as many Bhaalspawns as possible? Wouldn't it make more sense to copulate with his most trusted priestess and have her bear his Bhaalspawn (with the majority of his essence inside) and then sacrifice the child to revive Bhaal, just like what Bane did with Iyachtu Xvim, his half-demon son?
It just seems inane of Bhaal to dilute his essence to so many Bhaalspawns who could very well venture somewhere remote and live their lives undisturbed and their essence forever trapped inside (just like many minor Bhaalspawn characters who were brought to Saradush only because of Melissan's ambition).
Or am I missing something here?

Question (slight spoiler)
Looking for help.
For he first time I have used the short sword, Arbane's Sword of Agility +2, for its free action special ability. However, the ability doesn't work. Webs still hold me. Does this ability work or is it one of the many small bugs in the game? If it does work, is there a mod know to break it?

Manually create multiple romance without BG2tweakpack Is that possible?
It seem some of RomanceNPC mods (i.e. Isra mod) didn't work with BG2Tweakpack multiple Romance mod. Even I tried manually deactivate the romance auto killer from the mod itself without using multiple romance mod, the romance mod still didn't work;eventually: I encounter a bug which render that mod unplayable. (i.e. all romance involving NPC cannot walk properly)
After I did some researchs on mod forum, It seem the problem is BG2EE itself that try to change other romances variable to 3 when one romance's variable become2.
So my question is : where is the file and line in BG2EE folder that constantly kill romances. I want to manually edit it without using multiple romance mod. What tools do I need? I already have Notepad++. Is that enough.?
Thank you in advance.

Weak NPCs in BG2 - Shadow of Amn?
I know it's a fuzzy and subjective question, but still:
Which characters in BG2 (Shadow of Amn) do you think are the least powerful?
I want to try them out.

Advice on mods
Hi i havent played a modded version of BG2 since 2005 . I have played the enhanced but did so vanilla, looking for advice on the best mods to use. I tend to like ones that restore content. Ive completed Dragonspear but lost my save also so if anyone could let me know the xp cap set for that and items that carry over it would be much appreciated.Thanks

Three word story maker.
Not sure this will work here as well as it does in the classroom... But lets have some fun.
We will make a story together. You are aloud three words. You are not allowed to double post. Extra info on your thoughts should be added in a spoiler.
Tips:
- Ensure you are creating a sentence, that makes sense. Read it.
- You can use punctuation! This can have a powerful effect on the story...
- Don't get frustrated with other people. You have no power over the story. You can only guide it.
Lets see what happens people...

Should I complete all side quests before chapter 4?
I heard that once going into chapter 4... you cannot complete side quests since you cannot go back into Athkatla until the end game. So because of this.... this is kinda bad since I haven't even recruited most NPCs in the game and I would like to set my party up for the Irenicus fights that does occur (I heard like 2 of them happen or some crap.)
I have a save at like chapter 3 but it won't make much sense overall so I'm guessing that chapter 2 was really meant for the PC and his/her party to stock up for the main quest (which is actually very good in terms of role playing BG2.) Normally I switch off between main quests and side quests so I wasn't used to these changes really. So should I just complete every little thing I have to do (side quests, NPC side quests and etc.) or will it be safe to go play some of the main story or does the game force you to play the story from chapter 4 to the end?
Also one other thing... I feel like BG2's doesn't have as much content as BG1... I mean in BG1 I was swamped with side quests and it took me a while too with the exploration, unlike BG2 where I feel they toned down on the side quests (I think BG2 as somewhere around 25 side quests whereas BG1 had 44 side quests)

Ascension v1.5 BETA - Enhanced Edition Release UPDATED 6/8/2016 - SCS Fix located on Page 2!
NOTE: Original release documentation can be found inside of the ascension folder of the release archive.
FORWARD & THANK YOU:
By JediMindTrix on 5/20/2016
Been way to long since I've updated this mod. That is all.
Back to work![;)]( ";)")
All of JediMindTrix's work is dedicated to Charles Hein, beloved cousin and best friend, and Michael Taylor, close friend.
ABOUT THIS BETA
I want to stress that this is a BETA, not a final release. Just because everything installs without an error does not mean everything is working as intended. This is where the community comes in: I do not have time for a lot of beta-testing (long workweeks!) myself, so I am counting on everyone to report everything they find from simple typo's or grammatical errors in dialogue to enormous Fallout-Sized termite infestations (hopefully I sprayed all of these!)
CHANGELOG/CREDITS
I felt it easiest to describe who did what and also display what's changed by using this method (changelog from previous version can be found inside of release archive).
6/8/2016 (Edvin/Aedan)
- Italian translation for Shawne's EE Epilogue's by Aedan
- Czech translation (Ascension rewritten, also Shawne's components translated) by Edvin
5/23/2016 (WhiteAgnus/JediMindTrix)
- Installer woes should now be fixed.
- Installer should also now properly apply the correct version of the description for Sarevok's Sword of Chaos to EE/BioGate (English and Italian ONLY).
- EDIT: Forgot to note that Restored Bhaalspawn Powers should now check to see if the version included in PPG's Unfinished Business is installed already (I believe they are functionally identical, even if written separately.)
5/20/2016 (All @Aedan)
- Italian translation updated!
- American translation typo and grammar fixes!
- Sarevok's sword description updated to EE standards. CURRENTLY EE version only, backwards compatibility to BioGate incoming.
4/8/2016 (All @WhiteAgnus)
- Killing Balthazar will no longer prevent you from being able to access the Throne of Bhaal.
- The final fight will now progress correctly after the Five are dead.
- Alternate portraits fix.
1/20/2016
- Yaga-Shura will no longer be immobile. At any point in the battle (it is a Tougher component, afterall).
1/15/2016
- Balthazar's Adherants (unique Monks) should now properly spawn when entering his monestary for the final time. -JediMindTrix
PACKAGE

TOUGHER DEMOGORGON
- Fixed Demogorgon's A.I. script, mismatched variables were causing him to stand still after timestop -JediMindTrix

RESTORED BHAALSPAWN POWERS
- Dark Taint converted to patching, big credit to Gwendolyne for generously allowing use of their code![:)]( ":)")
-JediMindTrix, mainly Gwendolyne
NEW COMPONENTS
-Shawne's Revised Epilogue's -shawne
-Shawne's Revised Epilogue's - EE NPC's -shawne
-Original Ascension Epilogue's -WhiteAgnus
-ANYONE EA.IDS hotfix for mod compatibility -WhiteAgnus
BETA-TESTER REQUESTS
- Dark Taint's bonus damage needs to be tested to see if it applies to enemies properly.
- Evil Bhaalspawn DR requires testing, especially to see if it properly stacks with barbarian and hardiness resistances.
- The final Ascension battle requires thorough testing. The Bridge Bug fix is untested with Bodhi fighting by the Bhaalspawn's side.
- Ascension NPC epilogue's require testing.
Feel free to post bugs to this thread, or by private message!
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
1) Custom BAMs for Unique Bhaalspawn Powers
2) Original Ascension .bcs script fixes
3) Improved mod compatibility
4) Custom "Pools" conversation for Bodhi in the Final Battle
5) An alternate, revised Tougher Demogorgon Battle is on my drawing board
6) Fully assured compatibility with "Biogate"

King Gramm and Other Wild Mages Hostile in Red Wizard Dungeon
When I open the door to the last room in the Red Wizard stronghold (the one with King Gramm in it), everyone in the room (including King Gramm) becomes hostile. Furthermore, once I get past that room (being careful not to attack King Gramm even though he is hostile), all the other wild mages attack me as well. What's up with that? Has Lanneth charmed them or something? I chose the "you can't be trusted" option with Lanneth when she wanted my party to lay down its weapons, if that matters.

[TOOL] Spontaneous Arcane Casting for Non-Sorcerers
QDSpontaneous is a library that allows Mage and Bard kits to cast spells spontaneously, like Sorcerers in the Enhanced Infinity Engine.
The newest version of this library is available on GitHub.
This library enables mage and bard kits to cast any combination of their prepared spells at a given level. It can be applied selectively on a kit-by-kit basis as desired.
In addition, you must include a .tra file with these strings (translated into the desired language) at these exact positions:
These lines should be included after you use the ADD_KIT function (if you are adding a new kit).
Effects that recharge spell slots or grant additional spell slots may seem to not work or even cause the system to break. I will do my best to minimize the weird behavior of these effects.
Note that this library does not handle providing these spontaneous casters with spells. Check out the Spell Selection Dialog component of Tome and Blood for one solution to this.
Also be aware that the library currently has the underlying code to support a similar system for divine spellcasters. It is currently unavailable due to a bug in one of the critical opcodes (261, refresh spell slot), and thus I discourage people from using it for divine magic applications until this is fixed.
- emulating the Sorcerer as a Mage kit.
- enabling emulation of multi- or dual-classed Sorcerers (e.g. Fighter/Sorcerer).
Note that I am actively working on a multi- and dualclass Sorcerers component for Tome and Blood; I'd advise people to not invest their time in something that is already partially complete.
The newest version of this library is available on GitHub.
Background
Sorcerers are often viewed as superior to their Mage counterparts in terms of total spellcasting power. Thus, it is not surprising that requests to be able to multiclass Sorcerers have been made since at least 2004 (although probably earlier). Unfortunately, multi-classing Sorcerers is still not possible (due presumably to rather stubborn hardcoding within the engine). Furthermore, later editions of Dungeons and Dragons, allowed all casters to cast spontaneously, with varying restrictions on how many spells they could know or prepare, and how many spells they could cast.This library enables mage and bard kits to cast any combination of their prepared spells at a given level. It can be applied selectively on a kit-by-kit basis as desired.
Usage
If you would like to tie your mod's spontaneous arcane casters into this framework, then you first need to download the latest version of the qdspontaneous.tpa file (located in Sorcery/lib) and the QDBLANK.spl file (located in Sorcery/data) and include these somewhere in your mod's installation files. Both files may be kept anywhere within your mod's installation folder, but they must both be present for this library to function.In addition, you must include a .tra file with these strings (translated into the desired language) at these exact positions:
@10000001 = ~Remaining Level %lvl% Mage Spells: %slots%~After completing these two tasks, you can enable the functionality in your mod's compenents by adding the following code to your mod's installation files (either .tp2 or .tpa).
@10000002 = ~Remaining Level %lvl% Priest Spells: %slots%~
These lines should be included after you use the ADD_KIT function (if you are adding a new kit).
INCLUDE ~Your/Mod/Structure/qd_spontaneous.tpa~Once you've finished installing all kits that will use this system also include the following code in a standalone component. Be sure to install this component after all mods that 1) add items that increase arcane spell slots, 2) add new arcane spells, or 3) add kits that utilize this functionality. Failure to follow this may result in strange behavior when using this system.
LAF qd_spontaneous
STR_VAR
kit_clab = ~kitclab~ //the internal name of your kit's clab file, without the .2da extension
kit_prefix = ~XXYYYY~ //a string of up to 6 characters beginning with your modder prefix
known_prog = ~Your/File/Structure/TABLE~ //a .2da file, without the extension, that says how many spells the kit should have access to at each level (defaults to SPLSRCKN.2da)
casts_prog = ~Your/File/Structure/OTHERTBL~ //a .2da file, without the extension, that says how many spells of each level the kit should be able to cast (defaults to MXSPLSRC.2da)
lib_dir = ~Your/File/Structure~ //the folder, without the final "/" containing QDBLANK.spl
END
INCLUDE ~Your/Mod/Structure/qd_spontaneous.tpa~
LAF qd_spontaneous.patch_items END
LAF qd_spontaneous.patch_spells END
Limitations
This system, as it is emulating a spontaneous casting system within the Mage spellbook interface, has two major drawbacks to my knowlege. The first is that you must prepare a single copy of each spell you wish to have available for casting and then complete a rest in order to cast your spells initially. Secondly, the game will not display how many more casts of each level within the spell bar itself; to make up for this, whenever a character casts a spell, a line is printed to the combat log saying how many more spells of that level they may cast before resting.Effects that recharge spell slots or grant additional spell slots may seem to not work or even cause the system to break. I will do my best to minimize the weird behavior of these effects.
Note that this library does not handle providing these spontaneous casters with spells. Check out the Spell Selection Dialog component of Tome and Blood for one solution to this.

It is currently unavailable due to a bug in one of the critical opcodes (261, refresh spell slot), and thus I discourage people from using it for divine magic applications until this is fixed.
Applications
This library is opens up some new possibilities for modding, some of which are:- emulating the Sorcerer as a Mage kit.
- enabling emulation of multi- or dual-classed Sorcerers (e.g. Fighter/Sorcerer).
QDSpontaneous in Action
No mods make use of QDSpontaneous yet; be one of the first!Note that I am actively working on a multi- and dualclass Sorcerers component for Tome and Blood; I'd advise people to not invest their time in something that is already partially complete.
Permissions and Support
I am publishing QDSpontaneous so that other modders may make spontaneously casting Mage or Bard kits with ease. I do not require nor expect modders to contact me requesting permission to use this library. If you encounter errors while using this library, please contact me so that I may provide fixes and updates.↧
Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition
Друзья, пока вопрос о дополненном издании культовой RPG Neverwinter Nights висит в воздухе, и пока работы над ней не ведутся, я хотел бы обратиться прежде всего к Вам, дорогое сообщество, тем кому не безразлична судьба данного проекта, но пока нет новостей, я предлагаю Вам, в данной теме помимо каких то новостей обсудить что вообще из себя, может (должно) быть собственно дополненное издание? Как по Вашему мнению оно должно выглядеть? Что там должно быть дополнено(изменено) на Ваш субъективный взгляд? И как итог, как Вы видите свое собственное дополненное (идеальное) издание Neverwinter Nights Enhanced (Perfect) Edition? Приветствуются все, даже самые смелые и безрассудные идеи, это прежде всего творческая и идеализированная тема для обсуждения.

How to install games WITHOUT the Beamdog client?
Ok, I'm probably just being stupid but where can I find the option to download my games without the Beamdog client? I got a new PC recently and now I try to re-download them.
I go to beamdog.com, sign in and go to my account. My games (BG:EE, BG:SoD and BG2:EE) are listed under "My Games" as they should be. But when I click on any of them, I only get the game's beamdog store page with the options to either add the game to my cart (I kinda already payed for them years ago) or download the Beamdog client which I definitely DON'T want to use.
So yeah, I now there used to be a standalone download option for those games but I can't find it. Help please?

Epic Neera fail!!
**Spoilers** **Spoilers** **Spoilers** Wild, unpredictable, savage. Neera is easily one of the most hilarious characters to have in your party in BG:EE. Especially when one of her spells goes awry and completely de-rails your game lol. So I just got back from defeating Mulahey in the Nashkel mines. On the way back into town, we got ambushed by an assassin named Nimbul. I had my Charname (barbarian dwarf named Kadrin) rage and charge Nimbul, Imoen use a wand of magic missiles, Branwen casts a zone of silence, and Neera use magic missile to disrupt the enemy caster. Instead, Neera wild surges and the results are hilarious:
![]()
So basically, she got a really (un)lucky wild surge roll which increased her caster level AND had 4 effects, one of which caused cows to rain from the sky that wiped out the entire town (along with herself, the town guard, and several important NPCs like Minsc, Edwin, and Noober).
![]()

Having completely annihilated the town of Nashkel and slaughtering *THAT* many innocent NPCs, my reputation IMMEDIATELY plummeted, which caused Branwen and Imoen to leave my party:
![]()
![]()
Having lost my ENTIRE party along with destroying my reputation, I am forced to reload my game as there's no way I can ever recover from this. All from a simple failed magic missile. Who knew? xD
What's your most epic Neera fail??

Domanda su installazione mod
Buonasera. Avevo un dubbio riguardo all'installazione dei mod. Io prima di SoD, i mod per BG:EE li installavo tranquillamente nella cartella principale (dove è presente la chitin.key). Con il dlc di SoD adesso sono 2 le cartelle ed entrambe hanno la Chitin.key. I mod in che cartella li devo installare a sto punto? Nella cartella del gioco principale o in quella di SoD? Perchè certi mod relativi a quest o modifiche alle classi non me le faceva installare in SoD. ho paura che se installo dei mod come tweak anthology e atweaks nella cartella di BG:EE, poi non mi si applicano nella partita di SoD
