Has anyone tried Sandrah saga?

Hello
Nice to see the old NWN is still popular. I am considering purchasing your EE but I have one single question before I do so: did you fix the problem with the game running on multi-core CPUs? That's the only reason I don't play anymore so, if you haven't then...
well...
well...

No ability to transform into Slayer
Title says it all. I started a game on 2.5 and I never received the ability to transform. I am running no mods and not using any third party programs. I'm playing as an Inquisitor. I'm well into chapter 5 so the option should be there.

Did you know?
So this is just a thread for interesting things that people have picked up over the years. While most of the information has been freely available for some time, the game is big enough that you might find something you missed. If not, it's still fun to see just how much detail the developers put in.
Did you know that if you are playing an elf named Drizzt, and your reputation is under 12, Drizzt will attack you? Did you also know that if you kill the three mages guarding the skyship devices in Baldur's Gate, then Shandalar skips the 'asking' part of sending you to the Ice Island? Not surprising, given that they were his daughters. Guy is probably a bit angry at you.

How to remove Jaheira
OK, got to the point where Jaheira breaks with the Harpers. We finished off the campaign against the slavers, Then I tried to reform the party ... wanted to use an evil crew for a bit ... and had no problem with everybody else; told them just to wait at the CC. However, when I removed Jaheira, she got all upset and walked off, apparently for good, saying that she doubted we would meet again.
Was she just being overly dramatic, and is actually waiting somewhere, or is there simply a period of time where I can't remove her at all? Note: we were at a decent Rep (14) at the time.

Upside down TGA Textures

I often have this problem when making CC. (Legacy from original NWN)
Would it be possible to fix it?

Should I keep my Stalker in plain studded leather
Side note, I modded my char to be a multi stalker/cleric.
I've been reading about stalkers and everybody recommends Sendai's +2 studded leather for Stalkers in BG1. However, I'm considering sticking with just ordinary studded leather. My rationale is that I can use a ring of protection with it. With the +1, I'm sacrificing 1 AC for +1 saves (fair trade, it seems). With the +2 ring, the AC is the same and now I have +2 to saves on top of that. Granted, the +2 armor frees up a ring slot. However, in BG1, there's not much worth having except for the ring of Holiness (which I always have on) and the Ring of Fire Resistance/Ring of Free Action. Both of these are contextual and I can switch to them when needed.
Is there anything I'm not considering here?

Phylactery of ice doesnt make me strong enough to kill the white dragon...
I thought this was a scripted fight? Im playing as a level 6 sorcerer, and I tried using the phylactery to fight the white dragon. It turned me into a frost giant, but my attack bonus is still only +10 which isnt anywhere near enough to hit the dragon consistently considering it has an AC of 27.

[MOD][BETA] Tome and Blood: More Options for Wizards and Sorcerers
Tome and Blood v0.70 is now available for download.
Tome and Blood is the largest arcane magic mod for the Infinity Engine games. The current version of Tome and Blood boasts reworks for all existing Mage and Sorcerer kits, five original and unique Sorcerer kits, and nine mechanics tweaks directed at arcane magic and associated systems.
The current release of Tome and Blood offers the following features. A more comprehensive readme is available online here (Chrome only) or as a pdf file attached to this post.
REVISED SPECIALISTS
This component revises the Specialist Mage features to emphasize the unique specialties of each school of magic, and establishes Necromancy as the only prohibited school of magic. Each type of specialist now automatically gains spells of their chosen school, as well as protection against the magic they typically wield.
REVISED DRAGON DISCIPLES
This component expands Dragon Disciples to include the various other types of dragons, rather than just fire dragons. There are four Dragon Disciple kits, each one dealing with a specific element tied to several different types of chromatic and metallic dragons.
MAGUS
This component introduces the Magus kit for Sorcerers, which blends martial prowess with arcane knowledge.
FAVOURED SOUL
This component introduces the Favoured Soul kit for Sorcerers; Favoured Souls trace their sorcerous powers to the gods, and thus gain access to spells usually beyond the reach of Sorcerers.
REVENANT DISCIPLE
This component introduces the Revenant Disciple kit for Sorcerers, which represents Sorcerers who can attribute their powers to some undead ancestor.
SYLVAN DISCIPLE
This component introduces the Sylvan Disciple kit for Sorcerers, which is for Sorcerers who develop their mystical powers due to some long-forgotten intermingling of mortal and fey.
AMORPHOUS DISCIPLE
This component introduces the Amorphous Disciple kit for Sorcerers, a kit for Sorcerers with the foul ichor of oozes running through their veins.
INNATE FIND FAMILIAR
This component makes Find Familiar an innate ability for all Mages and Sorcerers.
ARMORED CASTING FOR BARDS
This component enables Bards to cast arcane spells while wearing Leather and Studded Leather armors.
ARCANE CRAFTING
This component grants Mages and Sorcerers the ability to use their powers to craft magical items, such as wands, potions, and scrolls.
CANTRIPS
Cantrips are minor magical effects that Mages and Sorcerers can manifest at will. This component offers two options for cantrip systems: innate and first level. Innate cantrips are minor abilities that are usable once per six seconds. First level cantrips revises all first level spells and allows them to recharge upon use. Both components offer Mages and Sorcerers the ability to never run out of spells.
SPELL TWEAKS
This component revises various spells in order to balance the list of spells available from each school. Some spells have been moved to different levels or schools and some are more extensively affected.
METAMAGIC
This component changes certain metamagic-type spells into innate abilities and revises the various magical protection defenses and counters.
ABILITY SCORE BONUSES
This component provides bonuses to Mages, Sorcerers, and Bards with sufficiently high primary attributes. These bonuses include low level spell slots, and, for Sorcerers, caster level bonuses.
SPELL SELECTION DIALOG
This component fundamentally changes the way that Sorcerers learn new spells. Instead of selecting spells during character creation and at level-up, Sorcerers are now granted an innate ability (Spell Knowledge) that emulates the spell selection screen through a dialogue menu.
INSTALLATION
In order to install this, simply extract the attached TomeAndBlood.rar file to your data/00### folder and run SetUp-TomeAndBlood.exe. If you have an existing version of TomeAndBlood, it is strongly encouraged to completely uninstall the old version before installing this version.

[v1.9.31] Shadow Magic
SHADOW MAGIC
- Link to mod page at my site: https://artisans-corner.com/shadow-magic/
- Note: this mod is only compatible with versions 2.0+ of BG:EE, BG2:EE and IWD:EE.
When the voices became too much to resist, you snuck into the depths of Candlekeep in the dead of night, where unwanted and dangerous secrets are left to rot. Inside of a once-sealed chamber stood a strange fountain, an open wound in the Prime Material Plane through which the energies of the Shadow Weave bled. As soon as you touched the eerie yet beautiful strands of magic that flowed from the wound, you felt an awakening as your connection to the Weave was severed and the power of Shar's dark Weave coursed through you in its place, bestowing upon you a magic that few are gifted with. As you matured, the growing magic within you developed a symbiotic connection until it became one with your very being, and the power of the Shadow Weave became subservient to your will. Gorion and your tutors grew wary of the strange magic that you wielded, though they never learned of the source. Though you knew the dangers of toying with Shar's domain were great, the temptation of such a little-known power in your hands were a thousand times worth the cost."

Component 1: SHADOW MAGIC MAIN COMPONENT
The Shadow Adept is a mage kit with a completely unique spell selection with 100+ new spells to choose from. A lot of them are copies of existing spells but there are quite a few relatively unique ones in there.A list of spells with descriptions can be viewed here.
SHADOW ADEPT: Shadow adepts hurl themselves into the abyss of the Shadow Weave, immediately acquiring all the gifts available to casual students and discovering secrets unavailable to all but the most dedicated.
Advantages:
- Hit Die: d6
- May use Shadow Magic.
SHADOW MAGIC: Spells of the Shadow Weave are usually more powerful than regular magic, but drains the caster's life force. When a spell is cast, the shadow adept must make a Save vs. Death at a modifier equal to the spell level (e.g. -1 for 1st level, -9 for 9th level) or temporarily lose Constitution equal to the level of the spell cast for 3 rounds. If the shadow adept's Constitution reaches zero, they are killed instantly.
The Shadow Weave is a mysterious and dark entity, far more alien and harder to control than that of Mystra's equivalent. As such, a great amount of mental acuity is required in order to master shadow magic. High intelligence, wisdom and charisma benefits those who choose to stray into Shar's domain.
- Gains the Darkvision innate ability.
DARKVISION: The shadow adept is gifted with the ability to see in the dark even better than in light. They permanently gain infravision and immunity to blindness.
- Gains one bonus spell cast per level.
- +2 bonus to saving throws against spells of the Enchantment, Illusion and Necromancy schools.
- 4th level: May use the Shield of Shadows ability once per day.
SHIELD OF SHADOWS: The shadow adept surrounds themselves with a barrier of purpleblack force. This shield of shadows functions like a shield spell, setting their armor class to 4 (2 against ranged weapons) and absorbing magic missiles cast at them for 1 hour per 2 levels to a maximum of 9 hours.
From 8th level onwards, the shield of shadows also grants +4 to saving throws vs. death and +1 to all other saving throws.
- 5th level: May use Shadowstep once per day. Gains one use every 5 levels thereafter.
SHADOWSTEP: Step into the Shadow Plane and move for 7 seconds while others are frozen in time. The shadow adept cannot attack or use spells while in the Shadow Plane.
- 14th level: May use the Shadow Double ability once per day.
SHADOW DOUBLE: The shadow adept creates a copy of themselves out of shadowstuff. The copy is at 60% of the caster's level and has all the spells and abilities that the caster would have at that level.
Disadvantages:
– Suffers a -2 penalty to casting speed and casting time while in daylight.
- -2 penalty to saving throws against spells of the Invocation and Alteration schools.
- May not learn or use spells from the Weave.
- Alignment restricted to non-good.

The shadow adept has the ability to summon a familiar at 6th level. The shadow adept's familiar has a few differences in strength and function compared to a mage's familiar but mostly imitates vanilla familiar behavior. Familiars and their abilities may be viewed here.Component 2: SHADOW MONK
SHADOW MONK: Little is known about the secretive order of shadow monks, other than the fact that they draw upon the power of the Shadow Plane to wield dark ki.

[mod] Foundling: Between the Shades
Foundling: Between the Shades BETA is available. The mod fully playable, may need some polishing. I've decided to made the BETA version available.
Foundling is the thrall of Thaxll'ssillvia, the Shadow Dragon found in the Temple Ruins. He is cold, calculating, and determined to be freed from his influence. He can never oppose his master on his own, but everything can change thanks to the influence of the Bhaalspawn.
Foundling is a Shadow Adept who can use Shadow Weave Magic as well as some Shadow Magic. The mod introduces a new kind of magic with its own advantages and disadvantages. Even though Foundling is recognised as a mage, he can't use the Weave. In exchange he is given his own dark spells - mostly dark versions of well known spells, but there are some brand new ones too.
The mod is both an NPC and quest mod and introduces new characters, areas, music, items, soundset etc.
Foundling is not romanceable, but the character will still talk to you frequently, so no worries.

Hi, I'm creating module and I havent polish letters (óńśćźż...).
I've tried to download from Vault this: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/other/gui/plfont
but it won't help.
It happens when I'm trying to start game from BD Client and Steam.
Are there any other issue?

Icewind Dale meets Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - Horn of the Abyss
Greetings,
after Baldur's Gate has been acquainted with Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (HoMM3), now would be the time
to introduce its little brother, Icewind Dale, to HoMM 3.
Only this time I am going one step further: Icewind Dale is going to meet Horn of the Abyss (HotA), an unofficial, fan-made add-on to HoMM3 that stays so true to the original game that it might just have been an original, official add-on.
This allows me to use new elements for shaping the landscapes some of which come very much in handy when modelling the areas of Icewind Dale. And I think I may have found an interesting way to include the Cove Town faction, a new faction exclusive to HotA.
I would like to show you my first drafts. They are work in progress and not finished yet.
Easthaven:
![image]()
Kuldahar and Kuldahar Pass:
![image]()
Wyrm's Tooth:
![image]()
The Severed Hand:
![image]()
If you'd like to help out on this project, I would very much appreciate that. I am always looking for feedback, positive and negative one alike.
Also I would like to know what Icewind Dale in general means to you. And then I would like to know what each area in Icewind Dale means to you. What feelings does an area evoke in you? What kind of atmosphere does an area convey? Think about Easthaven, Kuldahar, Kuldahar Pass, Vale of Shadows, Temple of the Forgotten God, Dragon's Eye, Severed Hand, Wyrm's Tooth and Upper and Lower Dorn's Deep and also the Fields of Slaughter from Icewind Dale 2.
Since Icewind Dale doesn't nearly feature as many areas as Baldur's Gate 1, I'll also have plenty of free room to fill on the map. Can you think of a anything that is mentioned maybe in IWD1 or IWD2 but we couldn't visit it? For example we know that there is a Drow city somewhere near, it just isn't featured in either of the games.
Also take a look at the world map:
![image]()
What do you think is on the map between the areas? The parts that we can never visit in the game itself. Can you think of any interesting locations that could be there? The vale that the Severed Hand lies in is rather big and on my map it is going to be HUGE. So what else could be in that vale besides the Severed Hand?

Katana purchase - Candlekeep
*** EDIT **** Changed dual classing to MAGE. Originally I posted Sorcerer.
This took me WAY too long to figure out but I thought I would share with other noobs like me wanting to start with a Katana w/o using cheats* (see below). The katana has a 'normal' starting price of 750GPs.
1) Choose a Lawful Good alignment (Reputation 12)
2) Make sure your character has a 16 or higher in Charisma.
3) Talk to Firebead Elvenhair exactly 30 times for the 300GP Easter egg.
4) Complete the remaining quests in Candlekeep to buy the kantana @ the following price(s):
w/16 CHR - 710GPs - It can be done but just barely if you liquidate EVERYTHING you find.
w/17 CHR - 675GPs
w/18 CHR - 635GPs
I'm starting my first campaign as a Human Lawful Good Kensai. I plan to dual class later on as a MAGE. Hopefully Beamdog finishes Baldur's Gate 1.5 (aka Adventure "Y") before I continue on to Baldur's Gate 2.
*** You may want to use the EE Autoroller program to speed up the stat process *** I don't consider EE Autoroller a cheat because it just automates your 'dice rolling' within the game itself. You go mind numb waiting for 91 to 93 point totals and you have the benefit of a 18/00 STR. It took Autoroller about 2 hours to come up with a 97 point total AND a 18/92.
*** The EE Autoroller program is attached to this post ***
*** Make sure you are in 'Windowed Mode" in BG in order to use program. ***
*** Tutorial on how to use EE Autoroller ***

However, if you have the patience and not set on a high 18 % STR, you should achieve a minimum of 91 to 93 total points by 'manually' rolling in a hour or 2.

Wish me luck... I'm sure I will make some changes to this strategy after I finish BG 1 EE.
This took me WAY too long to figure out but I thought I would share with other noobs like me wanting to start with a Katana w/o using cheats* (see below). The katana has a 'normal' starting price of 750GPs.
1) Choose a Lawful Good alignment (Reputation 12)
2) Make sure your character has a 16 or higher in Charisma.
3) Talk to Firebead Elvenhair exactly 30 times for the 300GP Easter egg.
4) Complete the remaining quests in Candlekeep to buy the kantana @ the following price(s):
w/16 CHR - 710GPs - It can be done but just barely if you liquidate EVERYTHING you find.
w/17 CHR - 675GPs
w/18 CHR - 635GPs
I'm starting my first campaign as a Human Lawful Good Kensai. I plan to dual class later on as a MAGE. Hopefully Beamdog finishes Baldur's Gate 1.5 (aka Adventure "Y") before I continue on to Baldur's Gate 2.
*** You may want to use the EE Autoroller program to speed up the stat process *** I don't consider EE Autoroller a cheat because it just automates your 'dice rolling' within the game itself. You go mind numb waiting for 91 to 93 point totals and you have the benefit of a 18/00 STR. It took Autoroller about 2 hours to come up with a 97 point total AND a 18/92.
